Fir Tree Lodge Reviews

Lovely clean smelling property. It is my second time here. Catered for baby with travel cot and high chair. Nice bottle of prosecco on arrival lovely friendly touch. Only issue we had was the lighting getting down the steps in the dark with the pushchair. Maybe some stair light could be useful. Overall beutifull experience for me, my daughter and grandchild. Thank you

Had a fab time at Fir Tree Lodge on arrival lovely touch of a bottle of wine with 2 glasses x nice personal touch x loved where the lodge is located on the site x the hot tub didnt create bubbles but thats a luxury and not a necessity. I would not hesitate to recommend and or book this lodge again x thank you

Graham

Very nice lodge in the lovely Whitecross bay resort. But at 1400 a week , I was expecting the place to be a lot cleaner. The pots and pans and cutlery were not very clean. The decking was not very clean and could do with a good steam clean. Hot tub jets were not all working. Yes I would stay again but I suggest they can afford maybe 2 cleaners to give it a good clean between lets . I know there is not much time between people leaving 10.00am to new arrivals 16.00 but at 1400 a week to rent this place maybe clean it a lot better

Lovely lodge with great facilities. It is starting to look a bit tired and could do with a bit of TLC. Unable to get the ensuite shower above Luke warm. Cracked tiles on the bathroom floor, toilet flush button broken, toilet roll holder kept falling off the wall. Hot tub was great.lovely park

Stephen

Lovely thank you

Billie

We had a lovely time during our stay at the lakes. We stayed earlier in the year but on a different site. Our previous accommodation was a lodge also with a hot tub. With this to compare to there are several things that could benefit from some attention in your lodge. Ill start with the positives, which are the fact that the master bedroom mattress was extremely comfortable, we had an amazing sleep every night. I was thrilled with how lovely the lodge smelt upon arrival, with bringing our dog along I always get a bit worried that the accommodation will smell of pets which isnt what I want regardless of having a pet myself. You could not tell it was a lodge that accepted pets so 5 to the cleaners there. The general cleanliness was good and quality of outdoor furniture good also, we got to enjoy the sunshine on a comfy and sturdy piece of furniture. The hot tub very enjoyable too. The negatives dishwasher was out of salt and rinse aid, non provided under the sink so these need to be checked when the lodge is cleaned as pots came out dirty. The hair drier didnt work. The tv in the lounge constantly froze when trying to change channels so wed have to turn it off at the wall our children just wanted to enjoy a little telly before bed and in a morning before our adventures began, but this proved difficult. Some badly cracked floor tiles in the main bathroom. The shower screen couldnt be opened in the main bathroom, when trying to assist my son in the shower the shower screen started to tip rather than open like a door which made showering him difficult. The wardrobe doors in the master bedroom would not open and shut, again fallen off the runners and stiff, werent useable. There was some random stuff just dumped in the bottom of the single bedroom wardrobe too, looked messy. And just some general bits that looked tired and could do with replenishing. For example, rusty toilet roll holder in the ensuite and the bottom of the door in the ensuite was damaged and peeling. The kitchen could be better equipped, the knives were very blunt, couldnt slice bread with the bread knife. The fridge was on maximum when we arrived and we understand why because it doesn't keep items chilled to the temperature youd expect so I dont feel this is working to the capacity it should. Overall we enjoyed our stay but when you look back at the issues weve listed there is a fair bit that you wouldn't expect to find in that condition. Lovely well maintained site, lovely staff in the bar.

Was surprised how small the lounge was, no where to put iPads etc no cubboard or shelfs etc,main bed too small we had to use the two bedrooms one of us in each,Lodge was clean and tidy . When stripping bedding off the one small beds quit had stains on it. It was advertised with washer dryer but it was just a washer so couldnt dry washing as it was raining.Fire controls had no batteries and the back of control was missing,The TV wouldnt allow you to go to menu to see what was on.The wardrobe doors once opened was kept open because they wouldnt slide . Was so good that you could take your dog into the club house first place we have been to that was allowed.We paid 1008 pounds and was disappointed .

Patricia

When we arrived at Fir Tree lodge everything was clean and tidy, however, I noticed that one of the sliding wardrobe doors of the master bedroom had come off its track, therefore, making it unusable. I emailed Sykes informing them of this and also the handle on the toaster didn't stay down, you had to hold it. I never received a reply. I was glad that there were only two of us staying in the lodge, I think it would have been far too cramped with four people. Having stayed at Fir Tree lodge I don't agree with the many reviews raving about the place, I think it could do with an upgrade. The outside definately needed the decking power washing and the table and chairs at the side of the property had not been cleaned for some time. We were fortunate with good weather and I wanted to sit outside but I was not going to tackle cleaning the table. I have stayed in quite a few of Sykes properties and have always been more than satisfied, but after this holiday it has made me very wary if I can trust the reviews for future properties.

Valerie

What a beautiful property. Could not fault it. Private. Fantastic hot tub! Lodge was clean, warm and everything that we could have wanted and more! Definitely home from home. Thank you for the lovely bottle of wine too!

Carmen

Again another amazing trip at this beautiful lodge. The lovely touch of wine and fudge was much appreciated. We have booked this lodge multiple more times and I would not hesitate to book for next year. Thanks again to the host for allowing us to share this special lodge. See you in July

Had a wonderful 3 night stay at Fir tree lodge. The wine on arrival was a nice little touch and the lodge had everything we could have wanted and needed.The place was very clean,comfortable, and cosy. The hot tub was a big hit and the decking area was very safe for our dog. We will hopefully be returning soon.

Despite the weather, we had a lovely time. Fir Tree Lodge was ideal, beautiful location, easy to drive to other villages and even with the rain the hot tub was a delight. We will definitely be booking again to stay there.

Lovely lodge and we would highly recommend to family and friends, we maybe back.

Carmen

We love this cabin! !! We stay on a regular basis and would recommend to anyone. Its so private and comfortable. Thanks Carmen

Just got back from a weekend with friends in this lodge, couldn't of asked for a better location, accommodation was home from home. Bottle of wine on arrival was a lovely gesture. Hot tub was a big plus to relax in. We would highly recommend. Would love to go back again in the future.

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

Pauline

We absolutely loved this lodge, it was clean comfy and as soon as we stepped in ... We absolutely loved this lodge, it was clean comfy and as soon as we stepped in we loved it, we will definitely return and will recommend to family and friends xx

Meifen

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

We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look".

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...
