Stephanie
What a beautifully lodge. The style, decor and layout was perfect. All the facilities provided was great also . The only negative feedback I could give that there was some cobwebs and spiders that the cleaners had missed. Also a light suggest ..we actually put the 2 single beds together in the back room as we have a king bed at home and found the double to be a bit small. The lay out of the back room seemed to have more space and with the 2 beds together makes more like a superking and was still plenty of room ! Honestly was a great lodge and the only thing I would have changed was a bigger and bed .. such a great location on site and in bowness, was great to walk to places .
Very clean! great location! Short walk into bowness and a all round Lovely stay.
Lovely property and surroundings. Spotless lodge , daughter and son in law loved the hot tub. Everything you can think of was provided. Location fab. Will defo be back
Pamela
Great lodge already booked for next year
Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your lodge ! ! The lodge was spotlessly clean and comfortable, the beds were the best weve had on a holiday it was like being at home Kitchen well equipped with a lovely bottle of bubbly awaiting us, lounge again super comfortable Hot tube we all loved it Location quiet and relaxing The park itself is lovely, short walk into Bowness with plenty of great places to eat, we had a lovely relaxing week and didnt want to leave, excellent family holiday, we couldnt fault the lodge at all
Richard
Have just had a wonderful relaxing week at Buttermere Lodge. It was absolutely perfect we couldn't have asked for anything better. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and the lodge had everything we could possibly need. We had a dog with us and it certainly wasn't a problem. The hot tub was lovely and someone came every day to check on this. We hope to come back in the future and would have no hesitation in recomending Buttermere Lodge to anyone.
This is our second time at this lovely lodge. It is in an ideal peaceful location of Fallbarrow, yet close to all amenities in Bowness. The owner has installed a new kitchen and some new carpets which are lovely. Prosecco was also a lovely touch. We enjoyed our stay so much we have booked to come again in August 24 which will be our 4th year at Fallbarrow and 3rd year at this lodge. We didnt want to leave. The hot tub was well maintained and it was a well deserved break after being out and about all day. We enjoyed cosy evenings and mornings on the decking the lodge is in a peaceful and quiet area of the park.
Lovely comfortable property it would have been nice if the hot tub was under ... Lovely comfortable property it would have been nice if the hot tub was under cover rather than just an umbrella aside from that fantastic stay and would certainly recommend it
Elaine
Great dog friendly lodge in a quiet location. Our second stay in this lodge. Great weather. Loved the new kitchen and sofas, but we could not reach the the cereal bowls, plates and glasses in the high wall cupboards. We are only petite and had to ask somebody to put them on the countertop for us. Hence when we left we could not reach to put them away. Sorry!
Wonderful lodge it's got everything you need we had a lovely stay
We are returning customers and totally love this lodge and the site it is on. Everything was perfect and so nice that we are able to take the dog with us as well. My only negative I am being picky is we could have done with a larger duvet on the main bed. This is only a preference though as we are use to having a king sized duvet on a double bed.
Sharon
The lodge is gorgeous this is the 2nd time we have stayed and the closeness to Bowless is brilliant, just a five minute walk. The hot tub is the reason we coming back. Looking at later in the year now
Beautiful lodge, perfect location, very nice hot tub. Only one recommendation would be better WiFi I missed the Alexa. We will be back
The lodge was lovely and had everything we needed. It was very clean, well maintained and certainly big enough to accommodate 3 adults and a Jack Russell. The location on the park in a quiet area was perfect with a short walk to all the amenities in the park and BownessonWindermere. I would definitely recommend a stay in this lodge.
Christopher
Lovely lodge which was very clean and perfectly located. The hot tub was ideal to relax in after a long days walk. Enjoyed our stay!
Melissa
Absolutely loved this place really tastefully done, very comfy and great location The only thing I could say is that lighting outside is quite limited, parking the car was a little struggle in the dark as theres not much street lighting! Other than that it was really amazing and definitely will be coming back
William
Lovely lodge very comfortable fully equipped kitchen ample supply of crockery, utensils. And plenty of glasses for our wine. On arrival there was a nice bottle of Prosecco waiting for us what a nice surprise. Nice outdoor space with patio table and a lovely hot tub only downside of the hot tub it could do with some steps to get in and out as my wife struggled as she is only little 5ft the lodge is situated very close to the lovely town of Bowness and the lake with plenty of restaurants, bars and shops all within easy walking distance. Will definitely be returning.
Jonathan
Superb location. Will definitely stay again.
Absolutely great lodge, location is perfect, and we really appreciated the welcome Prosecco! Hot tub was lovely and ready for us to use straight away. Communication with the company to get the access details has been clear and straightforward. Couldnt recommend it more and well definitely be booking again. Thanks for a lovely weekend!
Angela
We had a fantastic time at Buttermere Lodge. On arrival the heating was on and the hot tub had just been cleaned. The Kitchen was well stocked with equipment. We will definitely be back soon. Darren, Angie and our 2 jackhuahua's Kiera & Nelson.
A lovely lodge in a great location, electricity supply tripped once during our recent stay at a point outside of the lodge, reported this by telephone and there was a team here almost as fast as I got off the phone who had the problem fixed straight away, fantastic service from very helpful guys. Already booked again and looking forward to staying in this lodge once more.

The cottage was lovely close to the entrance but also close to the lake and doggy park if you have your furry friend with you there was lotsa in the living room and the couch was very comfy would highly recommend this lodge
Alison
Arrived on a wet and blustery day to find the heating had been switched on so the lodge was warm and cosy and a bottle of Prosecco in the kitchen both lovely touches and very much appreciated. We found the lodge to be very comfortable and modern. Some TlC might be needed in some areas but certainly no worse than what youd probably need to do in your own home. Kitchen was well equipped, lounge area comfortable and beds we found to be comfy and warm some staining on quilts we noticed when stripping the beds on departure day but that can easily be resolved. The location of the lodge was perfect in a quiet little culdesac and pretty close to the main entrance. Weve been to the lakes on a number of occasions but this time we were planning on staying in and around BownessWindermere and we didnt use the car once which suited our two cockerpoos perfectly! Fallbarrow is one of the nicest, quietest sites weve stayed at and would definitely recommend due to its prime location. Lovely walks around the site and being able to walk along lake Windermere was perfect. I highly recommend Buttermere Lodge and Fallbarrow Park.
The lodge is nice but very tired in many areas. It totally needs revamping, especially the bathrooms, silicone etc Has been 'bodged' The lodge would benefit from a deep clean, skirtings etc Our hot tub did not work for 3 nights but was eventually repaired. Communication was good in relation to this. Wifi was literally non existent even with the boost box. Parkean really need to sort this out upgrade as they promised years back. Not acceptable in 2022.
Lovely place and would definitely be back,everything you need is close by and enjoyed our stay
Margaret
Property on a whole seemed acceptable to begin with. General hygiene was below standard, the bath was dirtyhad to wash out ourselves ensuite shower had black mould around it, family bathroom shower head was not usual size and glass curtain constantly leaked and flooded bathroom. Could add more problems but it would take up to much of my time. Contacted owners with photos of this. Response was they will let the cleaning contractors about these problems, in my opinion will take more than cleaners to sort these problems. Did not feel that the owner was interested in any of this, very disappointed with this. Please be aware that not all reviews reflect the property. Will not be returning
Lovely Lodge, relaxing, great outdoor seating area and patio furniture and great location within Fallbarrow park small quiet cul de sac. The hot tub was fanstastic and welcomed after a full days walk. Great facilities within the lodge and is clean. Definitely value for money. Beds very comfortable. Some areas could do with a little modernisation but overall we couldn't fault it. We loved it that much we have booked the same lodge next year. This is our second time at Fallbarrow and it is a great location in the lakes. Although it is situated in Bowness, the park itself is quiet and we spent days evenings sat by the Lake whilst our child went swimming... there are lots of shops, restaurants and bars nearby you can eat out, some nights we cooked in and we had a takeaway. Defo recommend Vinegar Jones for a fish and rag pudding takeaway and Bodega if you like tapas.
Andrew
Great Lodge, well located within the park, spacious and comfortable, and hot tub is fantastic!
We had a lovely stay at buttermere lodge as a family with a baby and a dog. The decking area was perfect for our dog to lie outside. The hot tub was fab and well maintained by a man who came everyday to check the chemicals etc. there was a bottle of Prosecco on arrival which was a really nice start to our stay. The lodge was perfectly situated on the park so we didnt have lots of hills to go and down, it was all on flat level and a very short walk to bowness. We loved a walk in each day. There was a washing machine but we only used it once. The bath was great so I could keep my son in his routine with bath and bed etc. A bbq was provided and we enjoyed a few nice bbqs with our family who came to visit for the day. The DVD player was handy and we took dvds up for the evenings. Would love to revisit in the future.
Arthur
Excellent situation. Short walk into town and lake. Lodge very clean and comfortable. Pity about the weather, rained all week but still enjoyed it. We would stay in this Lodge again.
Jacqueline
We very much enjoyed our stay. The lodge is comfortable and very well equipped and perfectly situated for walking into bowness.
Michael
Lovely relaxing break in a beautiful lodge absolutely lovely really enjoyed our stay, thanks so much
Denise
Buttermere lodge was spotlessly clean very welcoming when we walked in. Had a really great 4 days and would love to go back again soon.
Christopher
My wife and I and our jack Russell stayed at Buttermere lodge 14th18th March,although the weather wasn't great the lodge was. For cleanliness,comfort,and facilities I've got to give it 5 star's. 2 minutes walk to the sites bar and shop and 5 minutes walk to all the facilities of Bowness, would not hesitate to recommend Buttermere lodge to anyone.Thanks for a great stay.
The lodge had everything we needed, even down to supplying dog bowls! It was like a home from home. It was a lovely warm lodge, the heating and shower were both nice and hot. There are TVs in both bedrooms. Fantastic location, 5 minute walk to the shops in Bowness. Its also a good base to visit places around the Lakes by car which we did. The electricity did trip when we got there but maintenance were there within 5 minutes of me ringing them. Couldnt ask for a better service. Would definitely recommend this lodge and I will definitely be rebooking this again. Overall a fabulous relaxing stay.
Pamela
Really lovely lodge, great location on park. Highly recommended.
Just a quick note to say I spent 3 nights at Buttermere Lodge with my 2 daughters aged 17 and 12, everything was as you would expect and more. The owners provide everything that you need apart from food, it was spotless, warm and cosy. The complimentary bottle of fizz was an added bonus for me to relax in the hot tub! Site facilities are great, a very friendly and quiet site would definitely stay again. Thank you Sykes Holiday cottages.

Rydal Mount & Gardens are wonderfully situated between Lake Windermere and Rydal Water offering breathtaking scenery. The home of William Wordsworth from 1813 - 1850 the grand home is now lived in by the poets descendents but parts of the house and grounds are open to the public. Why not take a guided tour and see the rooms where many of the famous poems were written. The gardens are beautiful at all times of the year but in the summer offer a spectacular display of colour.

Ullswater Steamers - CA11 0US

This is an award winning Lake District attraction and they have been operating cruisers on Lake Ullswater for over 150 years.  There is no better way to explore the lakes than on water and you could even combine a cruise with a spectacular walk.  For great days out in this region then this attraction is highly recommended and will appeal to couples as well as families.  Corporate groups are also well catered for.
Lakeland Wildlife Oasis - LA6 1JH
about 13 Miles
Located in the Milnthorpe area of Cumbria we love this local attraction.  With an eclectic mix of fascinating wildlife and hands on displays this centre is educational as well as fun.  You can wander around at leisure admiring the exhibits which range from chameleons to computers. Some of the most threatened species are kept at the park as part if international breeding programmes.  Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs which are great value for money.  There are discounts for pre-booked parties of 12 or more.
South Lakes Safari Zoo - LA12 0LU
about 17 Miles

This is an amazing Cumbria attraction well known locally as well as nationally for how close you can get to the animals.  Described as the most interactive animal park in Europe it's well worth a visit if you are staying in the area.  Open from April to end October some of the highlights are the tigers, penguins, bears, hippos and rhinos.  At 2pm during certain seasons it's feeding time so don't forget to plan your day around this so you can watch the animals enjoying their feed.  Look out for seasonal events such as Halloween Zoo Boo (free entry for kids in fancy dress) and The Magic of Christmas.

Happy Mount Park - LA4 5AQ
about 20 Miles
Happy Mount Park has attractions for the whole family including several play areas, a miniature railway, crazy golf, putting green and trampolines, there is also a paddling pool where the little ones can splash around in the summer and a café where the adults can relax with a drink. During the summer months and especially during school holidays live music can often be enjoyed.
Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD
about 24 Miles
We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look".  Some of the amazing animals you will get to see include the only Canadian Lynx in the UK and you will have the opportunity to help their Lynx Conservation Project.  The Asian Fishing Cat is also well worth a look - these cats are known for diving under the water and catching fish!  Other activities include fantastic flying displays and play areas for the little ones...
