What our customers say about their holidays

• June - Verified booking

  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.

  We were amazed to find that the cottage was in such a wonderful location- right beneath the Ingleton Mountain.

  We stayed home most evenings because the all-round views were too good to miss. As an artist I was able to take home some sketches without having to search for a subject. A glass of wine on the balcony and a wonderful sunset were the perfect ending to enjoyable visits to local scenic attractions: The Waterfall walk - 7 miles- very enjoyable, Walk through tree-lined paths, up and over the lime-stone steps parallel to the river. We didn't make the whole way, being over eighty, but still enjoyable. The river at makes for an ideal contrast- a relaxing day with easy walking along the river banks or sitting on the benches provided.It makes an ideal picnic space with the added bonus of an ice cream van and much entertainment watching the school children diving and thrashing about in the water. The town itself is small and has interesting shops and choices of cafe/bars/restaurants. Ingleton itself has a wonderful food and gift shop with award winning butchers, sandwiches, freshly-made ready foods, pies, cakes and fruit. I really didn't feel the need to cook- in spite of the excellent cooking facilities at the cottage.

  Green Smithy Cottage is beautiful!

  It had everything needed for our stay and more. The location is fantastic....although you definitely need a car to get to places if you are not keen cyclists. The beauty of the countryside around is idyllic. Fields, moorland, rivers, hills, woodland ... just awesome! Delightful places to visit nearby. We enjoyed Ingleton Waterfalls Trail and Ribblehead Viaduct. The three peaks are at hand for keen walkers, and for not so keen walkers there are lots of villages nearby to explore. Here we were able to do as much outdoors as we liked and then chill at the cottage. Eating out at local eateries on days we didn't fancy cooking ... although check places are open as Mondays and Tuesdays seemed to be closure days for some. Personally I wouldn't want to come in wintertime but purely because of driving in snow or icey conditions is not something I'd relish!! Highly recommend. Many thanks to the owners Mr and Mrs Hingley for making this such a delightful place to retreat to and recharge.

  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.

  We were on site for three days and on three occasions we tried to book a table or access the takeaway service from your on site restaurant.

  We were only successful on one occasion in relation to a takeaway , on that occasion our request was met with a less than positive attitude. At the time we felt that the manner of the staff made us feel that they were doing us a favour rather than trying to assist customers. On Wednesday at 4,30 in the afternoon we again tried to place a takeaway order, only to be told they weren’t open for food and once again met with a less than positive attitude and told that all takeaway slots had been filled. The quality of the food we did order was very good and we enjoyed our stay on your site. The only negative regarding our stay was the difficulty in accessing restaurant facilities.
