Lake View Lodge Reviews

Stuart
On arrival, everything looks perfect, logs provided as listed, but only 1 firefighter and no matches. The fridge has a broken shelf on the door, where milk and bottles should go, but we managed ok. The shower screen support bracket is loose, insecure, and could potentially be a danger if left in this condition. The log burner was full of ashes, and burnt wood, obviously not been cleaned or emptied it out since last used, we had to clean it before we could light it. In the cupboard with the dishes, there were a large spider inside one of the dishes, complete with web, and one of the smaller cereal dishes has a dirty crack in it. Also, the burner for the hot tub was full of ashes too, this had to be emptied out and cleaned before use. On the whole we were pleased with the welcome pack, dog biscuits and bucksfizz etc. We would like to say, we actually left the cottage in a cleaner condition than we found it, hence we were actually 10 minutes past the checkout time before we left.
Our third stay for a long weekend and we will be back. Just perfect for a couple wanting a bit of quiet RnR in the middle of nature. Love it!
Christopher
The welcome pack was much appreciated and the position of the lodge was ideal with views over the fishing lakes. We could not locate any details of the WiFi and had to call up to get these. There was an issue with a couple of leaks in the roof during periods of heavy rain which had been reported previously. A better sofa would make the stay more comfortable and a supply of light bulbs would be useful for when needed. On the whole, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lake View Lodge.
Beautiful setting very quiet if you would like to relax whilst on holiday but also has the opportunity to do water activities and plenty of walks. The lodge was very comfortable and the welcome pack was a lovely gesture. The only suggestion would be to change the sofa as it was a bit small for two adults to relax comfortably and a bit of maintenance in the bathroom but nothing that spoilt the holiday. The wood fired hot tub is a brilliant idea easy to use and a welcome addition to the lodge.
We both loved the lodge. Location is great and it was lovely inside and out. Very pieceful. I have nothing to complain about. I have sent an email regarding a small leak from the log burner when it was raining, mainly so it doesn't any damage to the lodge itself
Had the most amazing stay at the lake view lodge, perfect size for 2 and our dog, kitchen fully equipped for all your needs everywhere all clean and tidy nothing bad to be said! The staff that we met were so helpful and polite, well done to all, thank you. The setting is full of amazing views, all the lakes look beautiful, clear water etc, the water park is great too as we took our own paddleboards went to some attractions not far from site, will definitely recommend! We will stay again in the near future
Victoria
We have had a fantastic stay. The cabin is beautiful and surroundings so peaceful. It has been the perfect get away from our busy lives. We will be back!!! Bed comfy, kitchen facilities fantastic we cooked in twice, bathroom modern and clean, log burner perfect touch, hot tub such a luxury we loved it on an evening. The only suggestion we would have would be to change the sofa to a larger corner sofa as the sofa is not comfy. It is so lovely to sit and look across to the ponds in the morning and in the evenings but we didnt find it that comfy on the small leather sofa. Although the breakfast bar looks lovely we wondered if this actually would get used and if instead a larger corner sofa would make the cabin more practical, appealing and comfy. This said, we absolutely loved our stay. The perfect time away for my 40th birthday and escape from our busy lives. Thank you.
We stayed last year and was extremely disappointed. This year it is good to see a different sofa. We enjoyed the holiday and would stay again. TV needs to be replaced due to lines down the front and incorrect remote control. Overall good!
We absolutely enjoyed our stay so much we have booked the same accommodationweek next year, the site staff were lovely and welcoming, our German Shepard loved the outside space. I couldn't recommend this accommodation more. the walks around the lakes were refreshing and at times after 1800 we were the only people in the park
Kristie
We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge. The facilities were good, it was clean and there were nice touches such as welcome basket. The scenery was beautifiul and its in such a fantastic place surrounded by lake and was so peaceful.There are a few minor improvements which can be made, for example using mesh at the bottom of the fencing so small dogs are secure, more firewood. The only negative for us was we did not realise how close the carparks were to the lodge but it did not effect us as much at this time of year.
Really enjoyed our stay, would come again. Lodge was clean with a nice little hamper upon arrival. Would be nice if the cafe was open a little more though.
Good location and facilities however lodge is very close to fishing lake which was busy most of the day and the gardens are overlooked. Garden not secure for small dogs.
I have already filled one feed back , the property was two small only a very small sofa ,the floor creaked ,the furniture out side was worn out . We booked for a week stayed only two nights .
Malcolm
Myself and my partner stayed Friday to Monday. Fantastic location only 7 miles from Scarborough. Was amazing to relax in the hot tub in the evening listening to the birdsong. Lodge well equipped and very cosy. We shall definitely be revisiting in the near future.
I had a great stay at the lodge, staff were very friendly and welcoming. Only complaints Id have was the shower wasnt very hot & very low pressure, I was told Id have a little pile of lodges for the fire & hot tub but I was left with one single log for both, and upon arrival the bins hadnt been emptied outside of the property which wasnt the best of welcomings. But overall the location, the setting and the lodge itself was perfect, just needs a little tlc to bring it up to scratch. Id definitely stay again and would recommend to anyone. Plus my dog loved every minute with loads of space to run about and explore, cant put a price on that.
Hi, 2nd time staying. Love the location. However, the cottage is definitely more 'used' than last time we stayed. The bathroom has nearly 0 hot water which is something we raised in March and the drains are pretty blocked. We would also recommend bug spray etc as there was a lot of mosquitosspiderswasps as should be expected. Lovely stay overall but some improvements could be made this time.

We had a very enjoyable week at Lake View Lodge It was clean and well equipped for a self catering holiday The welcome hamper was much appreciated The location is fabulous and secluded but within the water park there is plenty to do if you like water sports and great walks around the fishing lakes The wood fired hot tub was brilliant and a nice way to relax after days out exploring The nearby towns of Scarborough, Whitby are a short drive and there were plenty of lovely villages and great dog friendly pubs in the area Enjoyed our stay here and will come back
Many issues shared with owner and sykes. From hairs in bed to no running water and misleading photos.
Fantastic location so pieceful and relaxing outstanding lake view and fantastic walks around the park , great base to vist surrounding areas, you must vist Bridlington the Lodge was clean and comfortable all we needed was provided and the staff were amazing and helpful always available for anything needed can't thank them enough. everything we wanted was here for a much needed relaxing holiday away from the busy town we felt spoiled we will be back thank you Jan and Dave W
Bethany
Could of done with a more comfortable sofa in the living room, we struggled to sit in the lounge, other than that perfection!
A great escape Good position, great walking with our dog who loved the water has a swim every day. Will book again. Thankyou
Robert
A really pleasant holiday experience in a cabin in a woodland glade in a fenced and gated area. The chalet had every thing you could need for a prefect holiday. A really quiet spot in your own woodland no traffic noise only the occasional fisher man arriving, at night a really peaceful experience. Plus the wood fired hot tub is great fun to play with.The Scarborough Park and ride is only 15 minutes drive,free parking and cheap fares, Myself my wife and our chocolate Labrador had a wonderful time. Ill be BACK!
Lovely property, ideal for two people looking for some peace and quiet surrounded by nature
Jonathan
It was a lovely stay. . lodge was amazing. Only a couple of issues with the actual area, we didnt see any dog poo bins and no capacity to recycle at the actual lodge. But otherwise idyllic.
Beautiful place to stay. Picturesque surroundings. Staff extremely helpful.
Sophie
We had a wonderful time at this cottage, the surrounding area was beautiful and so peaceful. The hot tub was amazing and stays hot for a long time once you get it going!! Inside was clean and comfortable. Only thing that was missing was an outside light that stays on, once it got to a certain time the area around the hot tub was pitch black and you couldnt see each other anymore. Inside the fire was amazing but the roof above the fire has a slight leak in it, we only noticed it when it was chucking it down.
We had a wonderful stay at the end of March for a birthday. The dog had the best time of her life. The lodge is fully enclosed and detached. She could run free around the lodge whilst we went about our day. I would 100 recommend it. Had a slight issue with the shower being cold but the staff came out first thing in the morning to help.
The Lake view lodge was perfect & we would recommend it to anyone wanting a quiet peaceful escape .
Elizabeth
What a beautiful place so peaceful Ive already recommended it to all my family and friends. Ill definitely be coming back. The only downfall was that my dog could get under the fence so I couldnt relax in the hot tub

Betton Farm Visitor Centre - TF9 3PS
about 1 Mile
Betton Farm Visitor Centre is the ideal attraction close to the North Yorkshire coastal town of Scarborough. This animal farm has all the cute farm animals you would expect to see and will appeal to younger children especially.  A great place to both play and learn we think the Betton Farm Visitor centre is great value for money.  Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs.  Some of the highlights of the day might include meeting Sofie the Shetland Pony and Henry the goat, as well as the pot bellied pigs called Porky and Hammy. 
Scarborough Sea Life and Marine Sanctuary - YO12 6RP
about 5 Miles
If you are enjoying a lodge break in the Yorkshire Moors and Coast then a day trip to the Scarborough Sea Life and Marine Sanctuary highly recommended. This centre is one of the regions most popular attractions and is educational as well as fun. Visitors will enjoy a journey beneath the waves, meeting many strange, beautiful and fascinating creatures of the deep. As well as mighty sharks and beautiful rays guests can get up close to some more common creatures including star fish and can also meet the otters, seals and penguins at feeding time. The site also has children's play area and picnic tables as well as a restaurant and souvenir shop. Family tickets cost £46.80 but the Tourist Information Centres in Scarborough, Whitby or Filey often offer fantastic discounts.
Sea Life Marine Sanctuary - YO12 6RP
about 5 Miles
Located in the Scalby Mills area of Scarborough this makes a fun family day out for those who are interested in marine life. The fantastic ocean tank is well worth seeing - it's been transformed into a Turtle Reef and you can see an amazing array of colourful reef fish and coral. You may also catch a glimpse of the tropical sharks and turtles. Offering good value for money this is a day out with a difference and an all weather attraction.
Peasholm Park - YO12 6QQ

This attraction is ideal for sunny days as the beautiful park is ideal for wandering out and taking in the scenery.  You can hire boats including rowing boats and canoes to enjoy the views from the water.  The pedalos with the dragon heads are always a popular choice too.

The Grainary Wildlife Farm - YO25 3HS
about 8 Miles
Located in Harwood Dale Village, North Yorkshire we think this attraction makes a superb family day out and couples will also enjoy the nature walks in the area.  There are 6 nature walks in total surrounding the farm so walkers and lovers of the outdoors will be in their element. Some of our favourite walks include the Spring Flowers, Pond and Village walk which takes around 35 minutes, and the Meadow and Trees walk which takes one hour.
Flamingo Land - YO60 7EW
about 12 Miles
Situated in Malton in North Yorkshire this has to be one of our favourite family days out.  It's a theme park and zoo all in one stretching over a massive 400 acres. With thrilling rides for the very daring like Cliff Hanger, Corkscrew and Kumali, there are also more gentle rides for the little ones such as Frog Hopper and Helitoys.  Family fun attractions include the 4D cinema, the lost river ride and the Little Monsters Den of Mischief. Check out their website for seasonal events which take place throughout the year and you can also gain more information about the zoo.  Flamingo Land is a resort as well as a theme park so you can also book accommodation there.
