What our customers say about their holidays

  The whole lodge is very worn and tired, needs work done on it to justify the spend on hiring this lodge.

  The lodge had not been cleaned very well and wallpaper was dirty, dust in lots of places and lampshades were thick with dust. There was also a very unpleasant smell so we called the owner to mention some of these things including broken rail in wardrobe, we were unhappy with. Its fair to say his comment was that it had been a long season and that he would sack the cleaners. He would talk to the park, too which we had a visit from maintenance within the hour and they looked at all the drains and noticed a hose under the waste for shower had been disconnected. He connected it up, but still the smell lingered.The next time the shower was used the tray filled up with water and didn't run away which is why i believe the hose had been disconnected in the first place,we called the owner. Again, he called maintenance and they turned up again and said they would do some checks of all the pipes at the time they also confirmed that the cleaners were not people they used for this lodge so there was nothing they could do in respect of our concerns of the cleanliness especially as we had a 4 month old with us. When we got back in the evening the shower water did run away but the smell was still there and quite overpowering some days. The mattress in the on suite double room was also very dented on one side as if it had a hole, so some very uncomfortable sleeping. Overall very disappointed with the stay in this lodge and very expensive for the state it was in and owner not particularly bothered about our concerns.A lot of wasted time waiting round to sort the drains In my opinion someone should have come along to at least give it all a steam clean after our complaint....

  The lodge was very “tired” and not cleaned to a good standard(photos are available).

  There were: Dusty skirting boards Mould in the shower Kitchen surfaces dining table and mats all required cleaning before we could use Cupboard which housed an arier and ironing board was messy and smelt fusty Ironing board cover was stained and not fit for purpose There was refurbishment taking place in the lodge next door and thus our view from the lounge was of a skip!! There was refurbishment also taking place three lodges away and at times during the day this was quite noisy The tv did not work on the main channels and despite several phone calls to the owner it took four days to restore which was an annoying thing to have to sort on your holiday One of the main reasons for booking this lodge was the hot tub but my husband and I did not use it and my daughter, son in law and two children only used it once as the ground around it was overgrown (in some places there were nettles) which made it difficult to get into and put the “senior” members of the group off even attempting to use it. Overall we were very disappointed with the quality of the lodge and would not stay again sndceoukd nit stay again

  Overall a good stay but good be made excellent with some small improvements.

  No tv reception throughout the whole stay and with 2 children it was particularly difficult in an evening especially as we hadn’t been made aware so we could have brought games etc. contacted the owner but they were able to resolve the issue. The fire alarm also kept going off (dispite no fire or smoke!) so not sure if this is a fault with the alarm or batteries. Informed maintenance man when he came at check out time. A pair of scissors in the kitchen would be useful please. A small guide book in the lodge would be a nice touch with leaflets of the area and reminders about recycling and check in/out.

  We had a wonderful stay.

  The property is in an ideal location and has a true lodge vibe, with a wooden ceiling in the living room. The couch was really comfy. The kitchen and dining area is a little cosy, but the table is of a high quality and when you’re on holiday, you don’t always eat in anyway. The lounge is spacious and the bedrooms were comfortable. The weather was very windy due to the storm, but we felt nice and warm in the lodge and used the great facilities on site and in nearby Windermere. I had a query and needed to contact the owner, who responded quickly. All in all, I would really recommend this property.

  Although the park is fantastic I would definitely come back again.

  ...only not to this specific lodge!! Cobwebs draping from ceilings, chocolate & crisp wrappers under the bed. The windows were smeared with finger/hand prints & corners full of cobwebs & dust & none of the bathroom windows closed as wood has swollen.The mattress was comfy but pillows were so flat we needed 4 each so had to take from other beds. Lodge accommodates 6 & there were only 2 of us so that was OK. The whole lodge is need of updating as quite shabby & furniture very dated The decking & area surrounding hot tub are in need of up grading as very dated with all paint flaking off
