Loved the lodge and its location. We werent left any towels so had to find some in a cupboard. Most radiators didnt really get warm so the main bedroom was always freezing especially the ensuite. But apart from that it was fabulous and would def book again.

It was amazing. My family absolutely loved the place it was well equipped and the hot tub was just fab. Will definitely be booking again !!

We were welcomed at the front gate by very friendly and accommodating staff. The lodge was clean, and very spacious. Beds were super comfy. We loved the location of the property, plenty of walks to do with the family or dogs. Only a short drive to bowness or Windermere. The hot tub was always hot and class. We will definitely be making it an annual thing!

The lodge itself is lovely and well decorated. It had all the essentials needed for a perfect stay hottub, BBQ, 2x bathrooms, comfy beds, lovely views and were very accommodating for our 10 month old son by providing both a cot bed and a high chair. We cannot fault the interior and overall stay. However, there was a persistent smell coming from the main bathroom and even with the window left wide open we couldn't work out where it was coming from. We then discovered when heading out for a walk that when this toilet is flushed, the raw sewage from the toilet is leaking down the side of the lodge and is not being disposed of correctly as the pipe is clearly not sealed. Hence the foul smell. Of course we did not touch nor go near the raw sewage, however we were exposed to it. Sewage contains germs like bacteria and viruses as well as parasites and worms that can cause stomach and intestine or liver illness. None of us have been poorly touch wood but it came as a great shock and concern knowing that us and our son would have been walking past the leaked sewage with the bacteria remaining on our shoespram wheels. We were constantly worrying about washing hands relentlessly and making sure nothing dropped on the floor for the rest of our stay. I have taken a video of the leaking for reference and will be happy to send on if you can provide a number email I can forward to. On the last night Sunday evening of our stay, whilst preparing our dinner, the whole electricity within the lodge went out. No lights, no power. This was around 6pm on the bright side, handy that it was before the sun had fully gone down and everything was in complete darkness. We searched the lodge manual and both the booking confirmation for an emergency number and had no luck managing to find one. There was noway of contacting the owners or Sykes Cottages quickly for assistance. My husband walked up to the Park's reception nobody there because of the time on a Sunday evening but managed to speak to the Night Manager and explained what had happened. He came down to the lodge and managed to trip the power back on via an external box round the side of the lodge. However, for us this was not clearly shown nor explained anywhere for us to sort ourselves. I would suggest either an emergency contact number or a 'what to do if' FAQ section is included to detail this for future renters. As mentioned the lodge is beautiful and a great location on site and we cannot fault the overall stay and interiors. But the raw sewage is a huge red flag and we are just thankful that none of us were unwell, hence the low cleanliness rating. Along with the electrics, very inconvenient, but we understand these things happen, but for there to be no emergency contact or information on how to rectify is a problem. I look forward to receiving a response to the above. Best wishes, Jessica

We had a fantastic stay even though it rained all week. The lodge was very well equipped it even had an air fryer! lots of space and lovely fully enclosed decking area could possibly do with a parasol for when its sunny or rains!. The only negative was that the covers on the settee kept falling down so we were constantly adjusting them every time we sat down maybe find a way of attaching them over the back . The park itself was ideal for us as it was a very quiet and relaxing atmosphere. We would definitely book again

We had a great holiday & accommodation was also great especially the hot tub. Only negative would be that the instructions informed us to report to Reception but once they knew that we had booked through Sykes Cottages they didn't want to know us. We would also like to inform the owners is that wasps are building a nest in the roof of the lodge they didn't bother us but it might impact on other visitors & the lodge.

Lovely and clean . Great place for visiting places .lovely pub on sight which does noce food and has a lot of seating .

Lodge was perfect thank you, really comfortable beds everything you needed was provided even an airfryer! ! Spotlessly clean more storage than we knew what to do with! Had a lovely weekend will definitely book again.

Great lodge, like a home from home. We all loved the hot tub.

Lovely lodge had everything you need. Enjoyed the hot tub.

We have been to this lodge many, many times pre Covid and it was lovely to see how it had been updated and improved by the new owners since our last visit. Really beautiful transformation and everything you need for a brilliant home from home holiday! We love the location, easy to get to Bowness or Ambleside, but also some lovely walks and couple of pubs on your doorstep. We highly recommend the Mortal Man, about 20 mins gentle walk. Brilliant, spacious lodge, amazing location beautiful Lake District, what more could you ask for! We will be back next year

Pleasant stay Lovely and remote and very quiet area Enjoyed our stay and would happily stay again

Everything was lovely apart from the cleanliness in the lodge it was as if it hadnt been vacuumed there were dog hairs around parts of the lodge I tried to vacuum them but the 2vacums didnt work which was poor other then that the lodge was perfect lovely views would stop here again really enjoyed our stay paul

On first arrival we were pleased with lodge, spacious, well facilitated, good layout but though it seemed clean we did soon notice that the cleaning was not up to standard. Windows badly smeared with hand prints, duvets not on properly, towels were not fresh and actually stank! And food left in cupboards. The most disappointing factor was its the first lodge weve stayed in where we didnt get a welcome hamper. This wouldve been very helpful as we arrived late due to heavy traffic jam with a two year old and had no milk or bread or coffee and the shop on site shuts at 6. Apart from that we had a super time. The lodge is located in a good area and even had a booster seat which came in handy for our toddler to sit at the table. The Haybarn Restaurant and pub is amazing, we loved the hot tub and the park was fab for our granddaughter. The park dean was friendly and helpful. There were a lot of dogs and sometimes it was noisy with all the barking but the runaway sheep kept us entertained. We will definitely be back.

The log cabin was absolutely perfect, only downside was the cooker was dirty but we just ate out so wasn't a big issue for us. Apart from that everything was great.

Excellent lodge great check in at reception and key in key safe. Lodge has great facilities including WiFi very clean and well heated throughout. Hot tub is a great feature. The site is well located and has a fully enclosed dog walking field. We will definitely book this lodge again could not find fault One of the best lodges we have ever stayed in.

Fantastic property with a fantastic hot tub only thing we found missing was an outside light near hot tub, although there was one at front door this was on a sensor so kept going out we loved all the little Christmas touches

We have stayed at the Lodge whilst it was under previous owners and we were concerned after reading more recent reviews. However we couldn't disagree more with what has been mentioned about this property. It has been done up beautifully, immaculate inside with all ammenties needed. A man came round to check on the temp and cleanliness of the hot tub twice daily which was a wonderful addition to our weekend. The owner had decorated the lodge for Christmas and it felt like the perfect pre family Christmas weekend.

Due to recent feedback I was very concerned before starting the holiday but I can honestly say everything was clean and comfortable. The lodge is a bit dated and 3 star it should be graded rather than 4 star accommodation. We had an issue with the hot tub being too cold whilst on our stay and it was fixed promptly. The beds are very comfy too and theres loads of games for children which was a plus. In future it would be good to provide a rubber Mat in the bath for children and bath mats to step on getting out the bath or shower as there were non and the floor was slippy. Anyway we had a great family holiday and loved the site particularly the pub.

No aftercare or follow up , accommodation filthy and no key left to secure property , left on first night and came home . . no refund very upset with the whole experience !!!

Numerous maintenance issues, below standard cleaning when in the covid climate it should be enhanced cleaning, this had definately not hapoened. We were told new owners has recently bought however this is not an acceptable excuse. We paid for 4 star accommodation and found what we felt was 2 star
