  I wish I could give more stars for this amazing property but the app only allows 5.

  Shame. Anyway, to the review: Prior to arrival, I had a lovely message asking what time I expected to arrive for key handover. Lovely gesture, makes this feel less transactional and way more welcoming. Was asked to message 10 minutes before I arrived, which I duly did from a farm up the road that has a milk machine and donkeys!! More on that on a different review. Arrived at a very well directed and signposted lodge and what a view. David was waiting, and was very patient. David showed us around the lodge, and the surrounding land. Everything was well pointed out both inside and out, and full instructions provided for all things that needed them. Nothing was a problem, and both David and Sonia were on hand if anything was needed, which again is a lovely touch. David even showed us around the other lodge as it was unoccupied, and it's just as beautiful. The lodge itself was gorgeous, so well designed and laid out. Very well decorated. Everything you could possibly want is provided, including a lovely welcome basket. Very considerate. The view from the large bifold doors is outstanding, even on a rainy day! The last day looked like something out of silent hill! Privacy from the hot tub was excellent and the tub itself was immaculate. Probably the cleanest one I've seen. The rooms in the lodge are all excellent, perfectly sized with good storage. Massive bathtub in the main bathroom and large shower in the ensuite. The sofa and indeed all the chairs were very comfy. Excellent kitchen facilities and a huge fridge and freezer. Outside, plenty of places to sit and enjoy the view. Hot tub had speakers built in too! Extra luxury, but to be honest the sounds of the working farm were much nicer to listen to. On that subject, I took a little walk and met some of the young calves. How nice it was to give them chin scratches! I honestly cannot thank David and Sonia enough, what a place to stay. Even had the sweetest message after leaving! Would love to return, this place is an absolute gem, as are its hosts.

  Westbrook Lodge is amazing.

  It was easy to gain entry to the Parkdean site on arrival, with a barrier code from reception. There was ample parking for two vehicles with steps up to, and a gate on to the deck. The vestibule/utility area as you enter the lodge itself was ideal for storing coats, bags and shoes, and meant the lodge didn't feel cluttered with our "stuff". The kitchen area is gorgeous and very well equipped. There was more at the lodge than we were expecting e.g.; tea towels, oven gloves, tin foil, kitchen roll, washing up liquid, cloths, spare bin bags, hand wash etc. There were also a couple of dishwasher tablets and condiments (e.g.; salt, pepper, vinegar). It's hard to say whether these items are usually included or had been left by previous guests because the checklist we received with our booking confirmation said for us to pack most of those items - it was a nice surprise. We found everything easy to use and the instruction manual/quick start guide was easy to follow. The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable. We travelled as a couple, and so we didn't use bedroom’s 2 or 3, but they were all good sized rooms (two doubles, one twin) with storage and wall-mounted TV's. It's unusual to be able to say there were lots of coat hangers - but there really were. And having two bathrooms was a real treat (with the ensuite being bigger than our bathroom at home!). The Parkdean site itself was lovely and quiet with a short walk to the lake. There are plenty of rubbish bin and recycling points around the park. Bowness-on-Windermere itself is a 5-7 minute walk away and ideal for the shops, bars and restaurants. We really enjoyed seeing the town come alive in the evenings whilst enjoying a cocktail (perhaps two?) in the Fizzy Tarte, and there are a couple of fish & chip shops (amongst other takeaways and amenities) if you didn't want to eat out, but didn't fancy cooking either. We would definitely stay here again.

  We stayed here last October and everything was absolutely perfect.

  The owners were very helpful and friendly and were around if we needed them (we didn't) but gave us our privacy. We had the most wonderful, relaxing time away. The lodge itself was very clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated and was very well equipped, with a lot more included than any other lodge we have stayed in before, with lots of extras which the owners kindly thought of (delicious and generous welcome pack, dishwasher tablets, washing machine tablets etc). The starter pack for the log burner was enough to last us all week! (though the Lodge was plenty warm without it) The indoor hot tub was very clean (which the owners tested by a seperate door early in morning, so they do not intrude) and worked perfectly and the fluffy towels, robes and slippers provided were a very welcome touch. The location of the lodge was perfect for us, with lovely views from inside and outside and nice walks on doorstep. It felt remote (which is what we were looking for) as was down a country lane but wasn't really as is still close (10 min drive) to the two towns with bars, resutrants and all the amenities you could need. We were lazy a few times and even got takeaway delivered to the lodge! The only slight downside was lots of flys around due to the fact it is on a cow farm but the owners did all they can by providing fly spray etc and in reality, the owners can't control flys! It didn't impact the holiday much. We are planning on hopefully coming back this year and have already recommended it to lots of people we know. Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday and all the little touches that made our stay perfect.

  The Lodge is a great place and in a stunning location.

  Both Sue and Rodger are the perfect hosts as they are around if ever you needed them.The standard of equipment and crockery is the very best with more than enough plates and dishes ( all of which are matching ) to cater for 4 people. The Lodge has a feeling of comfort due to its comfortable furniture and layout of the kitchen where everything is in the right place so you don`t have to spend time looking for things. The interior is nice and bright due to it having been painted rather than plain wood. The bathroom is nice and large and there is always plenty of very hot water.The location is very near the top of Smokey Lane a track which has a few bumps and holes but its not an issue, and we both agree that the location is fantastic, with views over to Bredon hill and across open fields where you can see a range of birds and perhaps even deer if you are lucky.There are also plenty of walks from your front door along footpaths and tracks. We would love to go back when summer is in full swing just so that we could sit outside and watch the grass grow. A Great holiday thanks Sue and Rodger. I would even go back just for the Chocolate Brownies.

  Wow! This place is absolute paradise!

  David & Sonia are the perfect hosts and you really get the feeling that they have put so much thought, not only into the lodge but also into the surrounding grounds. It's like a little piece of Welsh heaven. The Lodge is extremely private with beautiful views of the countryside set through the large fronted windows and veranda. We stayed as a family of four for a week and we found the area secluded enough to enjoy the peace and quiet but not more than an hours drive away from some fantastic family days out. Welshpool is just a short drive down the road for shops and restaurants and there are also plenty of local shops just five minutes away for any necessities. If you are looking for something in this area, then look no further. Absolutely perfect! We will definitely be going back as this place is difficult to beat.
