What our customers say about their holidays

  We booked the lodge for our yearly summer holiday away.

  It was in a lovely secluded area and seemed nice for the kids and dogs. We arrived and after a day we realised there was a massive issues with flies in the area, the manager came and I mentioned it to her and she said it was a bad problem that they suffered with her words “ an astonishing amount of flies “ as there were 6 flie catches around the lodges. also there was no form of any blinds or even curtain accross the main entrance patio doors which was straight onto the living / kitchen area which had no privacy to keep people from the other lodge seeing in, also with it been a hot summer the lodge became like a green house as there was nothing to block out the sun, so the lodge was unbearably hot to the point we had to sit in the bedroom with the kids as the floor was warm and the main area was just to warm to sit. we then mention this to the owner in which they said there was nothing they could do. we then went to the Tesco and bought our own fans, but then we soon found we couldn’t have any of the doors or windows open due to the amount of flies that came into the lodge, more than 30 flies in at one time and it was just impossible to get them all out where we were eating and sleeping, there was just a dust pan and brush and one cloth, which we was staying for 7 days, no cleaner every came round or no more cleaning stuff was given so again I had to go to Tesco and buy all our own cleaning products and had to ask the manager to bring a brush so I could sweep the floors as we were there for a week with 2 adults 2 children a baby, and 2 dogs and wanted to keep it clean, also the hot tub was never cleaned once while we was at the lodge. Which in the end we actually came back a day/night earlier than we was ment to - I then messaged the owners to let them know about everything about our stay barin in mind it cost us over a £1000 to see if there was anything they could do for us as a good wil gesture or compensate for us leaving early, and I recieved a message back saying “sorry you feel that way “ then after I had complain about our stay, as my little boy and dogs ended up been poorly when we were back probably due to flies been on all our beds and food ect, as there not the cleanest of things! I left the lodge in immaculate condition cleaning it from head to toe including bleaching both showers and bathroom and everything in the lodge cleaned before we left , and I took videos and pictures of it before we left incase anything was said. I then conveniently after complaining received a message from the owners to say “ the hot tub had grass and hairs in “ complaining and suggesting I might have let my “dogs play in it “ - no one in there right mind would let there dogs play in a hot tub Yet a family of 5 and 2 dogs had stayed at the lodge and it had not once been cleaned, I then stated it’s hard to keep a hot tub immaculate with that many people and not even as much as a proper brush to clean the floors, so hairs might of accidentally of been stuck to the bottom of our feet and then into the tub which would only be natural and nothing mentioned since about our experience, not professional at all. Very disappointed at the amount of money spent for this, if I had known about these things before I booked I wouldn’t have paid to go.

  Overall a really lovely pod - a great size for our party of 2 adults, 2 children and 2 small dogs.

  Furnishings are lovely, the kitchen is one of the best equipped kitchens I've seen throughout our stays in pods. Also the shower facilities are the best I've used in a pod. Initially found the automatic light turning off in the bathroom annoying when trying to shower, but then realised that the mirror has an on/off light! Great feature! The location is a great location, right next to a small park for the kids, and not too far to drive to supermarkets and/or beaches. Still feels nice and rural in location though. I will move on to my small list of improvements, there is clearly a fly problem. I feel the site is doing the best they can to manage this by putting fly traps around, but there are still lots of flies in the pod. This is to be expected in a glamping location though and they did leave plenty of bug spray for us to use. I think adding curtains on the main doors would just add to comfort a bit. It's not entirely necessary because you're facing the back of the other pod but it would add to a homely feel. Also, the main doors had no way to keep the door open like a hook or latch, which meant we could not have the doors open during our stay because the wind was so high that the door kept slamming shut (even when we placed a chair in front of the door). Unfortunately that meant the pod was quite warm because even though it was windy, it was sunny so the pod quickly heat up. I think small additions that we have seen in other pods such as an airer for drying hot tub clothes, and small games for entertainment, and complimentary tea/coffee for arrival day would have been a nice addition but overall the pod was lovely, and the small impact of these negative points would not stop me from returning to Lennon Lodge.

  We found the property to be clean and warm but in need of an update.

  The 13amp single socket on the landing was loose and needed repair before it could be safely used. As a retired electronics engineer turned latterly to a health and safety inspector I was disappointed to find an electrical outlet in that state. I couldn’t see the point of having a bath with a shower over the bath when the bath taps only fed the shower and wouldn’t fill the bath, why have a bath you couldn’t use unless you wanted to spent an age filling it with the shower. We particularly pick sites with secure outdoor space so we can relax outside with a coffee, my wife has a disability that impacts her walking so we usually stay at the property’s every other day and sit out talking ect. The outdoor space was disgusting. The grass was 13/14cm long and when I checked it I found several places where dogs had been to the toilet. I picked some up but gave up in disgust, if you want pictures I can send you some. The table and two chairs had an ashtray full of water and cigarette ash and stubbed out cigarettes. The neighbours next door even offered the use of their garden for our use because of the state of our space. As a plus point the parking was easily accessed and had ample room for two cars if needed. Overall my view was, although the house was warm and the sleeping arrangements warm and comfortable we would not pick the house again. I will add, but I’m not surprised, this is the first Sykes cottage we have stayed in that had no comments book for customer feed back.

  On arrival the temperature was 9 degrees C inside, having driven for 7 hours we had to increase the heating temperature and then vacate the premises for a few hours to give it time to heat up, as it was like an icebox when we arrived.

  Also the heating dropped during the nights, so it was cold again in the mornings. The crockery and some of the cutlery/utensils had been put away in the cupboard dirty. The kettle was full of scale. The bathroom lights didn’t stay on long enough, approx 30 seconds then have to try and trigger the sensor when you’re using the shower otherwise completely dark. There is zero privacy in the lounge/kitchen area as no curtains, because of the shape I understand it’s difficult, to install curtains but something like privacy glass would work. We won’t be recommending this place or returning.

  This is a really good perfect holiday cottage if you want a home from home.

  It's very well equipped with everything you need from home entertainment with numerous paid TV channels, a selection of games, cards and puzzles and a kitchen that's stocked enough to prepare a family Christmas dinner! (Even though you wouldn't fit them in!) We stayed with our dog and it's a just right to access the local beaches and resorts. If you want a relaxing break close to the coast but away from the hustle and bustle then you won't go wrong. Finally the local pub provides fantastic food, it's dog friendly and they have doggy dinners which at £5 keeps the pooches very happy.
