  Overall the lodge was nice, however it did fall short in many areas unfortunately.

  When we arrived, the information stated that a key box would be outside but it did not tell us how to get to the lodge or about the barriers. After driving around for 15 minutes, we went to reception and were told we needed to walk there first to get the keys. No map provided. The lodge itself was nice, but there was rubbish left in several places including bread in the cupboard which was stale and rubbish behind the TV and beds. I was also disappointed that there was only 1 oven tray, no basic essentials like salt/pepper/cooking oil and no spare bedding provided which is often essential when travelling with children. We the found out that although the advert states that swimming and gym access is included, it isn't and I ended up paying £100 for my children to swim which is misleading as this was one of the main reasons I booked this particular lodge. Overall, nice lodge but the lack of information, completely incorrect information in places and lack of basic essentials did make the holiday fall short of what I would expect for such a lovely site. It would be really helpful to provide people with more detailed check-in information and make it clear that no activities are included and must be paid for.

  The cleanliness of the lodge fell well short of expectations.

  The furniture on the decking was strewn all over and the decking definitely needed some cleaning up as it was caked in old cobwebs and debris. In the lodge we moved one of the settees to hoover behind and found it thick with dog hairs so it had never been moved in a long time. We had a dog with us for 3 days but he was light coloured so not his hair. We had to clean the toilets due to where the seat/lid being stained. Also the skirting boards needed cleaning and the windows were filthy so we could tell that lodge hadn't been cleaned properly in a long time.On the last day we stripped the beds as requested and found one of the beds did not have a mattress protector on it, we found it in a drawer. The mattress was stained quite badly. Luckily the weather was hot so I didn't get into the bed and slept on top of it. We put the mattress protector on but the mattress definitely could do with replacing. We have been to this holiday village before but will not take the risk and return again. This is the first time a Sykes property has not come up to expectations but in the current climate with covid it should have exceeded our expectations.

  Lovely little lodge with some lovely homely touches.

  However, was disappointed to find that the place was filthy! In this time of covid, with later check in to allow extra time for cleaning, this place was disgusting. The tiles at the back of the cooker were splatted with fat (presumably from the last guests) the extractor fan looked like it had never been cleaned, under the beds was the last guest’s (or even previous to them) rubbish, which included a used face mask, general rubbish and a used tissue/baby wipe. The place was so filthy we felt we had to leave before the scheduled end of our stay. On stripping the beds before we left (as instructed) there was an awful brown stain on the (washable) mattress topper with brown drip marks next to it. There was black mould around the edge of the bath…. I could go on. On putting in a complaint, the owners of the lodge offered 15% off our next stay there and a free 3 day pass to the swimming pool. Why would we choose to go back there? The owners were not willing to offer anything else and quite frankly, Sykes have let us down too. Have used them many times before but will NOT be using Sykes again.

  We have just return from an amazing break in this lodge it was absolutely stunning from the moment we stepped in to the lodge and was greeted with a bottle of Prosecco and chocolates.

  The lodge is brand new and has everything you need in it for your break away. Lexi our cockerpoo settled in straight away. There was a washing machine and dishwasher also an en-suite with shower and a main bathroom with shower, the decking is well situated with sun all day. It is situated about a 10 min walk from the pub and reception. The best part of our break we did get to meet the owner who was such a lovely man made sure we were all ok and even told us the best places to go too also pubs and restaurants. This lodge has everything it’s says on the page and the pictures are exactly what it looks like. Amazing find would highly recommend this too anyone we will definitely 100% stay here again thank you Mark Andrea Lexi

  Just back from a week away from South Lakeland Holiday Village.

  Site was very clean and looked well maintained. My grandson loved the swimming which you no longer need to book. We ate a few times in the restaurant where the food was really nice and good selection. You need to book this and we seen lots of people getting turned away for either a table or takeaway which is such a shame. There was staffing issues to but the ones on duty were excellent and were always polite and courteous despite being run off their feet. There isn’t much in the site to do, but we knew this before we went and planned our days out with the site and enjoyed the great weather. The lodge we had was beautiful and well equipped. Location was superb just at the lake. Would definitely return.
