Duckling Lodge Reviews

Messaged the owner 4 times and aswell as sky cottages hot tub dint work the whole time we was they, the decking gate bodged with screw so just slamming against post all night disappointing as kids was looking forward to the hot tub

Simply a great little place! All the home comforts. Good addition with hot tub, site nice and quiet. Facilities within are expensive but that is separate to this little gem of a place.

Really bad weekend for weather but not spoiled by Duckling Lodge. Very warm,plenty of hot water.Beds so comfy.The hot tub was great.Had a slight problem with electrics,which was sorted within the hour.A great place for relaxing.Bit of a pain picking key up.Could it perhaps be left at reception instead of having to find lodge first.Definitely a good place for a restful break.

Lauren

Such a lovely lodge, kitchen well equipped, beds comfortable and shower pressureheat really good! Was surprised on arrival to see different flooring and sofas than on the listing but it was a nice surprise. Hot tub a nice feature although the lid is really heavy. Had issue with electrics tripping, no info in the information book of what to do or who to contact, ended up contacting Sykes but by the time they replied we got them working again. Some of information in there is out of date IE recommended place to eat closed, site map written on but nothing Google major that a Google search couldn't help with. Would stay again and recommend to anyone if you want a quiet break and a home from home feel.

Louise

We were absolutely thrilled with Ducklands Lodge and we will certainly be going back to stay next year. The quality, comfort, space....everything was 5 star. I have 2 friends already looking to book after me passing on my recommendations to them to stay here. The complex itself was so peaceful, well maintained and idyllic. Thank you to the owner for this amazing holiday we've had! Great price and great find!

I loved this property, very comfortable and nipping clean. There was a slight issue with the hot tub the first night but the owner got the hot tub engineer out straight away to rectify it, it could do with a hot tub lifter as its very heavy for one person to put back on. The welcome pack was a lovely touch with vino biscuits ,tea and doggy welcome pack too. lovely. The site is amazing big but very quiet as mainly privately owned lodges, which is great nice and peaceful. Lodge very well equipped, spoke with cleaner on departure, nice lady and she takes pride in her job. Definitely will be back next year again with the dogs. Heated towel rail in en suit doesn't work and a few bulbs need changing, just a note for the owner Loved it fabulous stay. Thank you Kelly Pippa and Coco the dogs

Very clean and well equipped lodge set in beautiful surroundings, would recommend a stay there

A lovely clean holuday home A thoughful welcome basket. A few of the blinds did not work properly broken . The gate latch, the screws kept working loose and the lock could fall off so having our dogs with us we had to keep checking the screws were fixed in. The site is lovely and central to where we wanted to visit. I would recommend and would definitely stay again. Thankyou.

Rachel

Duckling lodge is located in a lovely holiday park. Its a great size for small family, however lots of things needed updating. Broken toilet roll hanger, broken hoover, cupboards not aligned to use the dishwasher. But its nothing to stop you having a good time! Weve really enjoyed the week there.

We had a lovely, relaxed and comfortable stay in the duckling

I am 12 weeks pregnant and when i got there i had to clean the kitchen work tops ... I am 12 weeks pregnant and when i got there i had to clean the kitchen work tops and the hobs before we could use them and there was a bit of a horrible smell when you walked but just opening the windows sorted that out , but apart from that the stay was lovely nice and relaxing just what me and my husband needed

Alison

Not enough hangers and the problem with the dishwasher door needs to be sorted ... Not enough hangers and the problem with the dishwasher door needs to be sorted out, other than that, lovely place and ideally situated

This is a lovely location and overall great accommodation which we would visit again. Positives Lovely bedroom and ensuite Kitchen overall had everything you need Sofas have been replaced ignore reviews about this Hot tub is lovely! The decking is in shade after 5pm so good for children and pets if you want them out the heat. The umbrella under the sink it handy! The clothes airer was handy too! Tip use the pegs under the sink if you put it outside. Lovely welcome gift, wine and biscuits and mint cake. Dog bowls and a biscuit tin for dog treats was a lovely touch! The rubber mat for the dog bowl was brilliant. Negatives Oven is dirty, I washed the oven shelf and grill before using it, water was brown. Oven could do with a second shelf, Grill pan has a lump of baked on residue on it. It wont come off. No oven trays, I purchased one and left it there. Dishwasher doesnt open unless you pull the kitchen kick boards off. There is a kitchen cupboard without and handle, which cant be used. Glass in outside table was fallen through dirty and upside down. We managed to get it together and cleaned as best we could. Outside sofa was missing so we used dining chairs outside. We later found it outside the back broken. The torch referred to was missing. The lack of bins in the bathrooms was awkward at times only one bin in kitchen Only a few minor points which can be easily rectified, I would stay here again and would recommend it.

Trevor

The only criterium is, on arrival we had to walk down to the cottage to get a berried opening fob, in the main reception there was no way of opening the barrier to let in new arrivals. THIS IN NO WAY IS AN CRITISUIIM OF DUCKLING LODGE the holiday was excellent

William

Dissapointed to find when leaving and stripping Bed in Main bedroom that matress cover and matress had stains. in light of Covid requirements as one of the important factors in your terms and conditions I found this disturbing. Generally the lodge was very nice and enjoyable.

Corrin

Hi I felt the home could have been cleaner, the skirting boards were dirty, the rugs and pillows on the sofa needed to be washed as had stains on them. The kit board under the washer doesn't fit and you can't open the dishwasher without taking this off. The curtain pole over the patio doors is broken and is balanced on top of eachother making it dangerous for it to fall. There was no bowl in the sink and no mop to clean the floors meaning I had to do this on my hands and knees. Tye bathroom door sticks and therefore the children were anxious to close this. The batteries ok the TV remote in the living room needed replacing and the TV remote in the bedroom doesn't work properly and needs to be replaced. The photos on the website are not a true reflection of the current curtains, sofa, flooring etc The property is in a lovely location. However the property is in need of some tlc. For a family if four to use the swimming facilities is 25 pound a day or 150 for the week. This is an a heavy price on top of the cost of the lodge.

The lodge was very well equipped, clean and comfortable. Wed definitely stay again.

Jacqueline

Lovely stay for Xmas no complains

We dropped the key outside in the snow in the dark after a day out and there was no spare key anywhere the master key on site never worked after two hours searching with no torch in snow and leaves I found the key I accidentally dropped I would have found it in the morning in daylight anyway but if I could not have found that key we would have been locked out and all our belongings inside including our house keys for home we tried to get in touch with owners and every number said ring another and nobody answered really really let us down we left the cabin spotless clean the toilet seat in bathroom was broke on arrival and the curtain pole on hot tub side doors kept falling down as soon as we opened them. The place was amazing only fault no spare key and no hoover or mop and bucket. Thank you for a lovely stay hopefully my feedback helps u get it sorted out thanks

Patricia

Re the hot tub when you say dont adjust the settings on the hot tub and only press the top right button when you get out, did you mean top right when yr in the tub or when stood outside of it? Maybe a picture of the button would be good. The tub itself was really nice, warm and clean. The settees are awful to look at and the throws dont cover the plucks and wear of them so initially the impression of the lodge is tainted by that vision, but they are so comfortable! Just need fitted covers to hide the wear & tear. The welcome pack was fabulous and much appreciated. The overall cleanliness was adequate and the beds, showers, kitchen areas were fine. Taking all into account I would stay again as its well worth the money and the location was perfect for what we wanted to do.

Lovely lodge on a beautiful site A couple of things need looking at The blind in the small bedroom needs attention it's come off the backets completely so can't open or close it, The blind in the living room as no gadget to open and close. The hot tub definitely needs a step to get in and out it could be a struggle for some people.

Lovely, very spacious lodge, comfy beds and sofas and very clean. The bar and restaurant on the site was reasonably priced, great food and lovely for sitting inside or outside at the lake. No issue with doors as people have previously said in the reviews you just need to shut them both together so not difficult. Hot tub was abit temperamental. Not many places to walk to as near a busy road when you leave the site but walked to Longlands Hotel & Restaurant which was a decent walk and lovely hotel also next to a lovely farm shop.

The holiday site was beautiful, lodge location excellent. The lodge was clean an tidy on arrival and added extra of a lovely tray of goodies which went down well with the kids. The site itself is stunning all lodges set out around a beautiful lake. Swimming was a big hit with kids just be mindful there is a charge and if children under 16 they need an adult at all times in the water even if they are good swimmers as there is no lifeguard. Hot tub was fantastic !!! Location was great too. Just a few points about the lodge which let it down tv in bedroom does not work at all an tv in lounge works for 10mins and goes off. Only three knives and forks available so I had to go and buy cutlery set for 15 in carnforth village on first day which I wasnt to happy about. Door handle in main bathroom needs attention loose an sticks one time my son struggled to get out which shuck him up as he thought he wouldnt get out. Toilet seat in main bathroom needs attention it moves when you sit on it and u nearly fall off. Hoover in bedroom needs a good clean as when u put it on to use its stinks and basically made me feel sick. On the whole we had a great stay an I think if the points I raised were addressed would have been excellent. Thanks again .

The cabin was lovely hut tub was really good. but the TV in the lounge would only work for 10 mins then the screen would go all fuzzy which is not good when the children would like to watch things and at the end of the day when you just want to chill. only 3 forks and 3 knifes which is not good when there is 4 of you. no contact details of owner left to fix these problems when we have been to other sites and something was wrong you could contact them and they would get the problem sorted. The welcome pack was lovely tho. skirting boards were a bit dusty. kitchen cupboards need sorting out so you have better room to fit your food in some was filled with chunk stuff and top corner cupboard needs sorting as you can't get it open very easily. Lovely site and good base to visit so many lovely places.

Christina

The lodge was great, clean and comfortable beds. The TV in lounge kept playing up. Could do with a full length mirror and the sofas are very worn, cracked and don't look good. Could do with replacing . Hot tub was fabulous maybe a little step to help get in and out for the elderly!

What a lovely lodge! Was welcomed with a lovely gift basket and found the accommodation clean and welcoming. There were a few minor issues but nothing that spoiled our holiday and comments in relation to these were left in the guest book to be addressed. Loved the hot tub and it was so nice to be somewhere we could just switch off and relax. Fabulous location for various day trips out. Would definitely recommend and rebook. Thank you for a lovely holidaying experience

Stacey

Spotlessly clean malva the polish cleaner is a superstar! !! and beautiful lodge,very well equipped and welcome pack was a lovely touch. Sadly only managed 30mins use of hot tub before it had a 'thermal trip error'. No idea whohow to contact anyone to fix it. Googled owners manual and managed to restart tub but it never got back up to temperature for us to be able to use it for the remainder of our stay disappointing as hot tub was the reason we booked this lodge. We still made the most of our stay and couldn't fault anything else about the lodge......and we would definitely book it again. Already recommended to friends and family!

Sheila

We had a lovely holiday. Lodge was exceptional. Standard of accommodation was very high and spotlessly clean. Really enjoyed the hot tub. Thanks also for the welcome pack which was very useful. Weather was lovely. Perfect for exploring this beautiful area.

Rare to find such a goodclean property where you are able to take a pet We all enjoyed our stay and would not think twice at re booking for another holiday in the near future. Alfie the dog had a fantastic time too. Thankyou

Lovely hot tub and cottage. Only little niggle was toilet seats I suppose. But I can easily cope with this. But someone older may struggle. All in all 10 out of 10. Me and my partner have even considered our retirement in one of these lodges

Ronald

Really enjoyed our stay at Duckling lodge the cabin was beautiful clean,well ... Really enjoyed our stay at Duckling lodge the cabin was beautiful clean,well thought out everything you would need nice welcome pack even Netflix was free,The hot tub was great we looked at a lot of great reviews before we went seen 1 bad reviews which was totally untrue and unfair in my opinion would defiantly recommend this lodge

Beautiful lodge on a stunning site, perfect base for exploring the lakes. Bed linen was clean and everything you need is provided, iron and board, hairdryer, fully equipped kitchen, even dog treats for the furry guest. Welcome pack was a lovely gesture. Spacious lodge and plenty of room for a family of 4 and a dog! Only thing would I would say is kids room could do with a black out curtain and same in the master as light mornings got us up early! Kids loved the hottub, and the balcony is lovely and safe for pets and kids

Bryony

Pleasant little lodge however lots of snags which really interrupted our stay. Firstly add states shop in 0.1 miles there is no shop. Add states fishing included in rent not strictly true..fishing is only available if your lodge is directly on the water this lodge is not so reception advised fishing is only from the lake beach where kids play which is not appropriate, so therefore told fishing is on a neighbouring site for 6. Add stated WiFi the property had no WiFi. The back doors are broken, the shower leaks, the dishwasher doesnt work correctly, the kids seat on ensuite toilet doesnt stay up so we didnt use this toilet, the telly in the bedroom didnt work, the telly in the living room kept glitching and we were unable to turn off from the socket as the owners had screwed the TV to the wall blocking the socket. So we had to simply wait it out for the TV to shortcut and turn off. Extremely frustrating stay with lots of faults needing a simple fix. The add isnt honest with shop WiFi fishing etc.

Leslie

Lodge was lovely and clean a few things dont work or are not fitting correct but that doesnt spoil your stay they only thing that was a let down was the restaurant on site didnt do much and there was no shop.

William

Don't go to restaurant, waited for one and half hours to be served,and this was a booked table,it wasn't even busy. Cancelled all other bookings, and ate out. Furniture in lounge all scratched and torn blinds. Will look elsewhere in future.

The property was lovely, very clean and had everything you could need when away from home. Hot tub had some issues but these were sorted really quickly so we were able to use it. We had a lovely stay and would love to stay there again

Charlotte

Our favourite place to stay for a getaway! The campsite is so peaceful it feels like you're in a different world altogether, yet the location of it is amazing for Lake District days out. The lodge itself was spotless, and the goodies that were left for us was a really nice gesture. Of course, the hot tub is an amazing addition!! We already are looking forward to when we can next come back.

Property really lovely. Hot tub we only got working to proper temp once tried everything. Staff onsite not so. As property not leased by park couldnt be less bothered. Have to pay for the pool Which is freezing. Nothing to do with owner. Beautiful property

Ellie-mae

We had a lovely weekend away at Duckling lodge. It was clean and tidy on arrival. Resort was quite but was expected for that time of year December. Only thing we would of liked, would be a cover over the hot tub for bad weather. Otherwise would definitely recommend this lodge and cant wait to go back! Our little doggie had a great time to
