  It was lovely and quiet and peaceful during our stay at the lodge.

  It was Modern and very well presented and spacious. The lodge is situated in such beautiful surroundings. It has a well equipped kitchen with everything you need and an ample size fridge and freezer where we cooked some lovely evening meals. There is a large Tesco not far away for anything you may need. We had an evening meal in the on-site restaurant which was excellent. You need to book in advance. If you like a takeaway they're available locally too. The site is an ideal base for seeing what the area has to offer. We had beautiful weather for September and we found so much to do during our stay. Ingleton waterfalls trail was a wonderful day out and definitely worthy of a visit but be prepared for a lot of walking to get round one of the routes, but it's so worth it. The waterfalls are stunning. Crazy golf at Greenlands was fun and less than 5 mins drive from the site. Warton Crag Local Nature Reserve is less than 10 mins away. Rspb Leighton moss is less than 15 mins drive. Lakeland Wildlife Oasis is just over 5 mins drive away and is a fabulous place to visit. There is so much to see both inside and outside. There are organised talks throughout the day and the staff were very knowledgeable. The snow leopards were a real treat to see. Lancaster Castle is around 20 minutes drive. We booked onto a tour which was very good. Morecambe Bay is just 20 mins drive also. We also took a boat ride tour from Windemere Lake visiting Ambleside and stopped off at the Windermere Jetty Museum which has a cafe and was lovely to sit outside taking in the glorious views. We also booked an extra small boat trip at the jetty museum, with personal guides which was excellent. The Lakeland motor museum was fabulous. There was so much to see, with gorgeous homecooked food and treats in the cafe too! We had a wonderful time at the lodge and have booked our next visit!

  Just back from 4 nights, and would commend the owners on how they've put a lot of thought into how theyve stocked the lodge with endless kitchen utensils, high chair in one of the cupboards, and a play pen / folding cot for those with babies.

  Score highly for thinking of our beloved 4 legged friends with a basket in the unit as you enter the lodge for dogs with spare blanket, bowls, water bottle and think a couple of toys (not that we used any of it as had taken own dog bowls and blankets etc). A bottle of wine on arrival, handful of tea and coffee and sugar with capsules of milk in the fridge was a nice touch for anyone that had travelled along way to get there.We had only travelled an hr from home to the lodge Will 100% recommend to all HOWEVER think the advert should be amended to mention the proximity of the M6 to the rear (the bedrooms) of the lodge, a couple of bushes and a row of trees on a sound bank and reckon less than 20 metres from the M6. We could hear the traffic and that's in October with the windows obviously closed. So with windows on vent or open in Summer months then you will 1000% hear the M6. The site was pretty empty during our stay (4th-8th Oct). Think the advert also needs to mention the none existent lighting on the site, again probably not an issue in Summer months but it was pitch black when we went. Granted the owners did leave 2 head torches in a basket of leaflets about local attractions BUT still think it should mention the lack of lighting on the site. Also the on site pub restaurant has strange opening hrs, last food ordered/served 15.45 on a Sunday which was a shock. Think the property needs a little bit of TLC as few things not working, but we left a note for the owners and saw that others had done the same in the past. 10000% nicer site than Haven sites we have stayed on and had the major advantage of next to no kids on site. We would still book again and are thinking of doing so for May 2025.

  This place is a perfect dog friendly getaway!

  ! From start to finish we enjoyed every minute. The lodge is very clean, comfortable, well equipped and a great location. The park has traffic barriers so you do have to walk from the entrance where the Waters Edge Restaurant is to the lodge when you arrive to get the key and the fob and walk back again so you can get in but its all of 5 - 10 mins to sort. The owners go above and beyond to make your stay perfect and the welcome pack with all the essentials like tea, coffee, hot chocolate, biscuits and wine is a fabulous touch. I cooked a full breakfast whilst there and wasn't struggling with anything - plenty cutlery, utensils, plates, cups, etc. Even a dishwasher to do all the washing up for you with a couple of tabs provided by the owners! We ate at the Waters Edge restaurant twice, had better steaks elsewhere and the full English breakfast doesn't come with toast but not the end of the world. Two local pubs - Hawks Head and The Malt Shovel, food was really good, well worth a visit and both dog friendly. The little beach by the Waters Edge is great and a fabulous place to enjoy playing in the sand and the water. The M6 is directly behind the lodge, which honestly didn't bother us day or night - any comments that its noisy and disturbing are certainly not true. I would highly recommend this place and will certainly be booking again.

  I am very disappointment that i have checked out of the lodge and received an unexpected £180 cleaning bill because i left a bag of rubbish, 2 bowls to be washed and not hoovered the carpet or made the beds.

  I was sent a picture of the bed not made, some crumbs on the carpet and a bowl to be washed and a bag of rubbish. Surely when every person checks out of the lodge you get it deep cleaned surely that’s in the price you pay when booking? Surely you Wash/change the bedding? & Sanitise all the kitchen, bedrooms bathroom? Surely you don’t rely on the people renting the lodge to make sure it’s at a high cleaning standard for the people next checking in? As that’s very very unhygienic & you should be getting the lodge deep cleaned after every stay! I came away with my 4 year daughter who’s currently on chemotherapy & my son who’s 8 to have a few days respite between my daughters treatments I thought we could go away and enjoy some time together we rushed back the morning of check out and left a couple of bowls to be washed & beds not made and a bag to be disposed and we have been charged £180 I find this disgusting. I have never stayed anywhere where I have been left responsible for cleaning the property to an inch of it life before checking out. When booking there is nowhere that states if I don’t clean the lodge I will be charged. It says if there is damage I will be charged and there was no damage to the property! I expect cleaning fee to be returned to my account immediately.

  We had an amazing stay at the lodge.

  It was in such a quiet and relaxing park and the pitch itself looking out at the small pond was wonderful. Just what we needed for our escape. I hadn’t realised the access to the pool wasn’t included or that day passes literally meant you could come and go - both of these things would have been helpful to know as £25 a go for a family for a swimming session adds up. However the pool and facilities were very good and we did use them. Including visiting the lovely restaurant. The hot tub is very large and was a wonderful addition. The main reason we booked! As well as outdoor seating that we were able to use in the April sunshine!!! The bathroom with a BATH was superb and additional en-suite just made everything more comfortable for us. Your selection of games and especially dvds went down so well. The van was fully equipped and we really enjoyed the stay. Nearest shop/supermarket is Tesco’s approximately 10 minute drive which is useful and the drive to beaches including Morecambe was only short which meant getting out and enjoying the sea air was easy. There was a manual for everything in the van plus taxi numbers, places to visit etc which meant not having to do the leg work yourself. You can’t wish for more from a booking. Peaceful and (almost) perfect.
