Acorn Bank Lodge Reviews

Lovely property in a great position! Close to walks and town with a number of shops, restaurants and pubs. Hot tub was great to have after a long walk and in a lovely secluded position
Beautiful lodge, perfectly located! Thank you for a lovely stay. Will definitely return.

Rachael
We must like this lodge, we have stayed 3 times now. I felt this time it wasn't as clean as it has been in the past, there was a dog toy under the unit in the kitchen our little dog alerted us to this the second we walked in and it definatley hadn't been hovered under there. The facilitys in the lodge are very good. Nice powerful showers, well equipt kitchen, nice comfortable bed. The hot tub, is checked each day, and was a nice treat after a days walking. We had an issue on day when we came back to the lodge and found we had no electric. It had been a wet day. We couldn't find the fuse box, so called the help line, who were very helpful. They checked with the owner who got someone from park maintainace to come and help us find the external fuse box. The fuse had tripped, so that fixed the problem, but sadly it tripped a further 3 times, so I do think that needs addressing, because if it is water ingress... the lakes gets a lot of water. All in all we enjoyed our stay again at Acorn Lodge. Fallbarrow Park is a great location, pubs, restaurants, shops and walks all from the door step.
Deborah
We had a great week at Acorn bank lodge and in a great position on Fallbarrow park. It was the most well equipped lodge we have ever stayed in and the bottle of Prosecco was a great touch. The hot tub was fantastic with super outside area completely safe for our dog. We could not seem to work the television in the main bedroom not sure why and a bigger doormat on entry would be useful with the dog and wet shoes. Thank you for a great stay.

Nice site close to bowness centre Nice touch with fudge and Prosecco on arrival Playground was a little rowdy with older unsupervised kids Cost of the accommodation was ridiculously high and this would prevent us from returning

Amazing stay at the lodge, immaculately clean. Everything you could need to make your stay comfortable. Hot tub was amazing. Bottle of proseco gratefully recieved. Hope to stay here again in the near future. You won't be disappointed.
We had a great stay at Acorn Bank Lodge. There was everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The location is perfect. 5 minutes from shops, restaurants & bars. The site itself is so clean & peaceful and right beside the lake. The dog was safe with the enclosed decking and we had use of the dog area. The hot tub was well used and serviced daily. We hope to return in the future.
Andrew
Absolutely loved our time here, Amazing accommodation, super clean and modern with every Amenity you could ever wish for there is nothing you need to to bring with you! The hot tub is amazing and ready to go as soon as you arrive, never had a single problem or complaint I will happily and hopefully stay here again in the future. Close to town centre 5 mins walk, and right near onsite bar and restaurant as well as cafe and shop, lake is literally round the corner . All round great place to stay!!
3rd stay here and it was just as good . Both bathrooms have been refurbished since last year making a great difference .
Daniel
Great, modern lodge in fantastic location. Had a lovely week staying there. Unfortunately, there were a few problems which took a little of the shine off a little. The WiFi didnt work until halfway through our holiday and we had to get a different router. It was sorted as quickly as possible 24 hrs or so but the instructions werent clear for use and meant an extra cost to me for kids data. The hot tub temperature was changeable. First couple of days, was lovely and warm but then went tepid. Again, somebody came and attended to it pretty quickly but, by the time it had warmed back up again, we were going home and so had 2 days of perfect temperature and two days of tepid temperature. The TV in the kids bedroom didnt work and appeared to have no signal. Something I didnt bother to query after the above. There was a water leak on the window sill at the kitchen area window. I have to say there was very heavy rain for most of the week so possibly a bit of an occupational hazard. The challenge of staying MondayFriday and checking in at 4.00pm and out at 10.00am is that the site cant afford to get anything wrong. And, unfortunately, the small things that I feel you pay a little more for, were the things that did go wrong.
Immaculately clean and lovely lodge, they was a couple of maintenance issues that could do with looking at, the lid to the hot tub needs looking at and the umbrella next to it is broken so can't be used, in the kitchen the window next to the sink has a slight leak when its raining, these are small issues and the lodge is amazing, we will be looking to book again we enjoyed our stay.
Our 2nd stay in Acorn Lodge. Perfect location. A really comfortable stay . Beautifully clean & had everthing we needed.
Dianne
As described, beautifully appointed, well positioned fir childrens play area and The Willows lounge. Was everything we needed and more for a relaxing break. Thank you for sharing this lovely property with us.we wouldnt hesitate to book again.
The property and location are perfect for us.
Perfect for us. We have booked same lodge again for 2022
Mr Connal O'brien
This was our second stay at Acorn Bank and as before we had a lovely holiday in the heart of the Lake District. The lodge is modern and clean and very home from home in a brilliant position on the park. Very quiet yet 2 mins walk and you are in Bowness with all the shops, restaurants and lake Windermere. The hot tub was a welcome addition after long days walking. I would definitely recommend to family and friends. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Home from home and fantastic base to explore the Lake District What one experience e.g attraction, walk, day out would you recommend for our future guests? The ferry from Windermere to Ambleside

Mr David Oxley
We had a lovely stay at Acorn bank lodge. The lodge itself was spotless and had everything you needed for a self catering break. You are aloud to take dogs to this lodge, we didn't but you wouldn't know any one did it was that clean. This was the only lodge on the park with a hot tub. It was excellent and a fantastic way to relax after nice day out. There was building work going on opposite the lodge that we were told about before we went but this did not spoil our break and didn't even know they were there, the work men we seen were always polite and let on. The location was excelent with just a small walk into town and the bus stop. We went to a few of the local pubs and the food and drinks were very good. The only negative I could give and it would be picking is that the lodge had a lot of steps to get in. It didn't bother us but for an older couple it could be a problem. Overall I would recommend this lodge and we would definitely go back ourselves. Thank you for a lovely stay David and Jen What did you enjoy most about your stay? Location and the hot tub. What one experience e.g attraction, walk, day out would you recommend for our future guests? Hawkshead brewery was really good
Mrs Tina Hume
We had a lovely family weekend away in lovely accommodation in the perfect position. The only minor drawback was the fact that we had stipulated children with travel cot etc, but the amount of stairs to the lodge were a bit of a nightmare with a pram especially in the dark. Other that that everything was great. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Chilling! What one experience e.g attraction, walk, day out would you recommend for our future guests? The Fizzy Tart in Bowness
Mrs ie Bishell
We thoroughly enjoyed the Log Cabin especially the Hot Tub! ! It was unfortunate about the Building Site but with going out daily it was not too much of an inconvenience. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Returning from a day out to the lovely Hot Tub. What one experience e.g attraction, walk, day out would you recommend for our future guests? The walk up Sweden Bridge fell.
Mr Tim Mcnair
Our stay at acorn bank was great. Very clean and well equipped lodge. Hot tub was fantastic, especially after a long walk. Location of the lodge is great if you want to venture into the town for some food or a drink. All in all a fantastic stay, would highly recommend. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Comfort and location What one experience e.g attraction, walk, day out would you recommend for our future guests? Coffin trail walk near grasmere.

Mrs Alison Dickinson
We have just returned from our second stay this year at this beautiful lodge. We have stayed at many other lodges but this one has to be the most comfortable. The lodge is always clean and tidy, with good quality fixtures and fittings. The main thing is that all the beds are comfortable, everything works in the kitchen, all the furniture is of a high quality and the location is great. Everything is to a very high standard and I would have no hesitation in recommending this lodge for a great holiday. Unfortunately, due to the terrible weather we were stuck in the lodge for nearly three days, this could have been a problem in the last lodge we stayed in but it just goes to show how great this lodge is that 2 Adults, a teenager and a dog were happy to be stuck indoors together!! What did you enjoy most about your stay? The comfortable lodge. What one experience e.g attraction, walk, day out would you recommend for our future guests? Brockholes
Mrs ie Mcleod
Fantastic lodge in good location close to Bowness, great view of the lake from the park! Hot tub was a definite bonus! Especially as the typical British weather wasn't kind to us. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Hot tub What one experience e.g attraction, walk, day out would you recommend for our future guests? Keswick is lovely
Mr Richard Davies
We had a lovely weekend stay at Acorn Lodge. The location of the lodge was ideal for walking into Bowness and Windermere village and also for our son who spent most of his time playing with other children on the park. A couple of minutes stroll from the Lake the lodge is well equipped, comfortable, clean, private and has the bonus of the hot tub. We had perfect weather which made our stay even better and didn't use the car for three days, all amenities were accessible on foot. We would certainly recommend and will be returning in the future. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Location of the lodge and hot tub What one experience e.g attraction, walk, day out would you recommend for our future guests? None
Mr Gordon Thomson
Second time staying at Acorn Bank in Windermere. One of the best lodges we have stayed in. The owners have thought of everything you need to the smallest detail for a self catering holiday. The lodge has such a lovely position on Fallbarrow Park and the car when parked need never be moved until the end of your stay, as Windermere attractions are on the door step. The hot tub is the icing on the cake. Our thanks again for a lovely relaxing break. We will be booking for next year as soon as we return home. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Everything What one experience e.g attraction, walk, day out would you recommend for our future guests? Taking the boat trips on Lake Windermere and visiting the Beatrix Potter attractions

Rydal Mount & Gardens - LA22 9LU
about 6 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. There is also a gallery and a tearoom. Discounts are available for group bookings.
Ullswater Steamers - CA11 0US
about 11 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 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...
