Fabulous accommodation just needs some little touches to improve

Black, Nicholas - 03/01/2026

4

Amazing accommodation, loads of space, clean, good cooker/kitchen. Hence 4 stars, things that would make it 5 stars1. Have the heating on for guests arrival - it was Baltic when we arrived 2. Have a welcome pack of a few coffee pods, a spare bin bag, milk, cleaning spray, hand soap on each sink3. Make sure the hot tub is at a usable temperature for guests arrival - 32 degrees is too cold so you lose a days useProbably due to the weather, there was loads of condensation in the accommodation- not sure what can be done about that.

2nd stay, not as good as the first.

Fitzpatrick, Sue - 16/12/2025

4

We stayed as a group of 6 for the 2nd year running. It seemed as though 2024 all the stops were pulled out. Mid November 2024 the house was beautifully decorated for Christmas. This year, the last weekend in November not a bauble in sight. Last year - toiletries in the bathrooms, this year, nothimg. Frying pan not compatible with the hob. 2025 no attention to detail, especially considering we were a returning group. I sent this feedback to them directly. Have chased twice for a response - nothing backShame, beautiful house and facilities just lacking in customer care and service.

Overpriced

Crawford, Ethan - 22/11/2025

don’t get me wrong, a caravan (lodge) is always nice getaway. But at the price you are given you expect abit more. dirty dishes, unclean beds and a carpet which looks like a homeless man has slept on. the saving grace is th hot tub which is luxury, but it doesn’t make up for the rest. compelled to use the dish washer but only provided 1 tablet? making you almost want to go out of your way to not use it! a rule book a mile long with no benefits, don’t worry the wifi works…. oh wait. don’t worry the pub/bistro is open…. oh wait. overall if you’re going for a weekend, don’t be conned by the hot tub. you can get a lot more for less in other areas of cumbria. ‘lodge’ it’s a dated plastic house with a nice bath outside. would highly NOT recommend

Good location, clean lodge

Smith, Rebecca - 21/11/2025

4

Great lodge, very clean, towels etc were provided, full kitchen equipped with what you’d need. Hot tub was lovely and warm - only problem was there was no light at the back of lodge so was quite difficult to see in the dark for the hot tub. We also booked this lodge based on the fact there was a bar/restaurant on site - this was closed the duration of stay and no one had informed us so this was disappointing. Overall, good location and no other complaints

The place is great to stay at, next launch site at Bassenthwaite lake. Pros: - The views are amazing, - Quiet site - Owners are lovely. - plenty of space around your touring caravan Cons: - Toilets and showers weren't cleaned whilst there for a week. - Onsite restaurant/bar needs regular opening times written on a sign.
