Fir Tree Lodge Reviews

Carmen
Just had another amazing stay at the lodge, the owner had left us some treats and a Christmas card which was a lovely touch and meant a lot. Just booked another 3 trips for 2024 and hoping to add to that next year as the lodge and location is perfect. Merry Christmas
Alistair
We had a great time, the lodge was lovely as advertised, a bottle of wine on arrival was a lovely touch also. If we decide to come back to the lakes, we will definitely be booking here again.
Carmen
Love staying at this cabin but this stay was a little disappointing, the cabin was not as clean as previous visits. Carpets in the main bedroom was dirty, bedding was tatty and the ensuite mirror on the cabinet was still broken and on the floor since our last visit. The location however of this cabin is great lovely and quiet. Thanks
Gillian
Fir Tree Lodge far exceeded our expectations. The lodge was far bigger than we expected and immaculately clean and had a very welcoming feel about the place. The large decking area with the patio furniture was perfect and the hot tub was very welcoming after our long walks.
Carmen
We love this lodge and cannot wait to return in October. Excellent location and lots of privacy. We reported some missing sindells so hopefully that will be sorted and then the dog can be secure on the decking. Thanks Carmen
Carmen
We love love love this cabin especially the location,and we are looking to coming back in septOct I would l like to hear if the owner has a loyalty scheme as we are allready thinking of booking multi stays in the lakes for next year and our direct email is moncazo4yahoo. Co.uk Thanks again Carmen
Gillian
Stayed here with my partner, 4 year old son and our small dog. Place was clean and tidy and we had some essentials left for us for our stay. Dish washer & washing machine pods. Clean towels etc and a nice bottle of wine. I cant fault the lodge, and the hot tub was well maintained. Would recommend a stay here to my family and friends.
We stayed for a week returning 19th June. A clean, comfortable lodge with lots of added items thanks for the wine!. The best feature for us was the large patio and hottub and we could park right outside our lodge. The lodge also does not get overly hot at night if the window is open we had hot weather which was fortunate for us. Unfortunately the ensuite 'body shower' did not work the temperature was boiling hot and could not be reduced. The maintenance team came quickly but said this was the owners responsibility as they had a separate contract and they would inform the owner. I explained I really needed this shower as to work as I had injured myself on the other shower but I did not hear back. I followed up 3 days before the end of our holiday and they promised to fix or compensate but heard nothing. Fortunately there was another shower over the bath but due to my back problem I had already struggled to get into the shower and cut my leg on the bath shower screen the maintenance man trimmed the edge of the screen but beware as this is still sharp and the hand rails on the bath are low this is why the cubicle would have been better. If we had been sharing the lodge with another guests we would have all had to share one shower and that would have been horrible. Luckily it was just us and our doggie we did not use the smaller bedroom. If it was not for the shower I would have given this top rating throughout as the patio was wonderful fully enclosed for our dog and great hottub. We had a lovely relaxing time. However, the holiday was tarnished by an irresponsible maintenance team who alluded to the fact they already knew the shower had problems but still the shower had not been fixed. This should not be advertised with 2 showers.
Jonathan
The lodge is fantastic and is in a lovely spot whereby you get the sun on the verandah for the majority of the day. On the down side, the dishwasher was rubbish. We had to go & buy our own salt, rinse aid and tablets which weve never had to do before in any self catering property. However it still didnt work properly, 4 separate washes of the same load didnt clean so we ended up cleaning by hand. A minor point but nevertheless worth mentioning. We couldnt use the shower in the ensuite because the temperature was scalding hot, I mean really scalding hot and no matter how much we tried to alter it, it wouldnt change. The electric fused one night, but it was swiftly rectified by the ground maintenance team. We appreciate as far as the dishwasher & shower go, we did not report it to maintenance because tbh we were up & out every morning. A special mention for the wifi which is abysmal & needs looking at. Fortunately we were there for a complete break away so it did not effect us but I am certain other guests with children will find it extremely problematic and frustrating. They are just minor points which need looking at. Overall it was great value for money. We would definitely go back, we had a great week and if those points weve raised were all good it would have been 1010.
Fir Tree Lodge is in a very quiet spot on the park which was lovely and relaxing. It has a huge enclosed deck which gave our dog plenty of room to run about on and watch the rabbits from. The one thing we did notice is the railing that runs along the tree side of the decking was loose so we made sure our dog couldnt go near that part as it wouldnt take much for it to come down. The hot tub was very private and lovely to relax and unwind in. The lodge has ample facilities if you want to cook while you are there. The bed was really comfortable and we had great nights sleeps. We have been to the park a number of times and would definitely book this lodge again.
Kathleen
Although we enjoyed our week away, we were extremely dissatisfied that we had to call to inform of lots of discrepanciesissuesfaults with the property. We feel these issues should have been found and resolved prior to our visit. You don't go on holiday to be getting repairs done and taking time out to report them, just not acceptable. The lady we reported to and the gentleman that attended, absolutely fantastic, and empathised with us, they did a great job.
Really pleasant stay at Fir Tree Lodge. Clean and comfortable and has all amenities to ensure a nice relaxing weekend. Only issue we had was lack of WiFi, although this was a location issue, and we had to walk to various parts of the park for a signal. This is the first time we have taken our pet dog as we usually leave him with our parents when we travel, but would certainly return and recommend to others. Thank you for a great weekend.
Really lovely place. Had all the facilities you would need. The balcony was significantly larger than what I was expecting which was great for the dog. Hot tub was kept clean during our stay. Location was perfect. Really superb place
Robert
It was a nice place . Especially we enjoyed the hot bath . The only thing is we dont have internet for 6 days that we are there. Apart from that We enjoyed our holiday in Lake District . Thanks

We are very happy and think the cp value is high. The only issue for us is the WiFi connection seems very poor.
This is the second time I have stayed at this holiday park and have always enjoyed it! It is so well placed within the Lakes and we will almost certainly come and stay again. The only thing that was a bit of a shame was that some of the pots and pans were not clean and still had food on them which had crusted up, the kitchen and a few of the other facilities were starting to fall apart a bit too, but, did everything work okay? yes, but for over 800 for 3 nights I would expect a slightly higher standard. Overall was more than satisfactory!
Lovely lodge, great family getaway, we will be back
Lovely chalet and great location. Very clean and well presented. We really enjoyed our break.
Steven
Great lodge situated in a quiet area of the Park but close to the amenities. Very peaceful and relaxing stay. The Hot Tub was excellent and maintained daily. Highly recommended. Will be returning.
Robert
Lovely lodge, very comfortable and roomy, welcome bottle of wine was a nice touch. Dog enjoyed the trip.
A very comfortable stay. Easy to follow instructions. A really simple and stress free experience. Highly recommended

First time staying in a lodge will definitely do it again this lodge was lovely
Natalie
Loved the cabin and hot tub! However points we had issues with include the en suit shower and washing machine which were not working. This was really disappointing as a family of 4. These home from home comforts were part of what drew us to this cabin. When I couldn't place an order in the restaurant due to either the wifi or app not working, I was told by a female bar staff to keep trying. I wish I could remember her exact words as they were quite patronising. This was also really frustrating as I had been trying for about 15 minutes and had a hungry 3 year old to contend with. The manager who helped with allergy information was great however. My husband was also felt there was no flexibility in the choice of sky sports in the bar when he enquired. It was a shame to also see some litter about the resort.
We really enjoyed our stay & thought the lodge was in a good location. Plenty of spare bedding & towels. Lots of kitchen utensils & domestic items ironaireretc. The washerdryer wasnt working which was a shame because we have 2 young children & a dog. Would have been useful for trying hot tub towelsswimwear. There were things provided which we hadnt necessarily expected washing up liquidantibac spraytea towelsclothskitchen roll but not things which we would have expected spare bin bagstoilet rolls. A more accurate list of whats provided would be useful. Wed have had no problem in taking these things but we ended up taking things we didnt need & not taking things we did need. Would definitely stay here again & would absolutely recommend!
Natalie
Holiday was perfect, the lodge was clean and lovely token of wine on arrival. However I have just looked at rebooking for the same time next year and it has went from 600 to 1200 for the same lodge. Thats really off putting that you can inflate your prices like that.
Such a lovely place, it really did exceed our expectations. Its in a lovely location, right near windermere lake which is beautiful and I'd definitely recommend booking a boat tour. Perfect to take the dogs as there is a lot of walks to be done with stunning views. The losge itself is roomy, equipped with everything you need, if I'm being pucky the only thing was the en suit showeroom was mouldy and did smell musty.

We stayed here for four nights, the lodge is lovely and cosy and very immaculate inside. A bottle of wine was on the table when we arrive, a huge thank you for that it was lovely. The hot tub was very welcome but we couldn't get the jets to work properly but that didn't matter as it was just so nice. The bedrooms are perfect as are the two bathrooms. The lounge is a really good size and for the kitchen is perfect with all you need in there. As an ex head chef it suited me down to a tee. Eat out on the site the food is good.

Mrs Sarah Jones
Thankfully we had booked our break at the same time as other family members as our Fridge stopped working while we were out, We had to take our food to our families lodge and keep it in their lodge and keep going back and forth. I did try to ring the help numbers provided but after being on hold for over 20 minutes each time I just accepted to do things this way to save stress and further waste of time and to deal with the situation when home. Luckily our families oven stopped working so we were able to repay the favour and not feel like we were putting on them too much. However I do feel to have to do this on our holiday was totally ridiculous and really not good enough at all. Other than that the lodge was very presentable, clean, tidy, comfortable and modern. The resort itself was excellent other than one member of staff giving us incorrect information about swimming, I believe he was night staff. We followed the advice given and went to book swimming the next day, when we were told we couldn What did you enjoy most about your stay?

Rydal Mount & Gardens - LA22 9LU
about 4 Miles
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
about 10 Miles
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 15 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 18 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 22 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 23 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...
