What our customers say about their holidays
Fiona - Verified booking
Location was lovely, and next door neighbour was nice.
Theyâre the only positives of Tiptoes Lodge. The lodge on arrival STANK of stale smoke in every room. I wasted so much of my perfume on trying to conceal it but it only helped for an hour or two. The smoke set off my asthma, and as I use a CPAP mask, I couldnât sleep for the air being pumped directly into my lungs. The sofa recliner doesnât work on one end, and the other end has been sat in so much that it leaves you sitting on a slant. There was rubbish like bottles, hair bobbles, glow stick etc under the sofa when we moved it round to view the TV better. There was also rubbish like wrappers and hair under the bedside table in the twin room which we moved to put the beds together in. Someoneâs old socks under the twin beds. The twin beds are tiny and only suitable for children up to early teens. Beds were so squeaky that we had to tighten the bed frames to help with the noise. The dishwasher was filthy, had mouldy food in the bottom, the filter was full of old onions and peppers. Dirty water lining the bottom, so wasted a dishwasher tablet trying to clean it once Iâd washed the filter out. It made the whole lodge smell of bin juice when we first opened it up. The curtains have mould on the bottom of them in the master bedroom and living area. The hot tub is a hazard in itself. No bar to fold the lid back on - weâre a couple with disabilities and this was really painful to remove and put back on as most of the handles have snapped. Once youâre in, itâs lovely but no cleaning tablets left, so it got dirtier and dirtier as the holiday went on, as no one comes to maintain it. The directions were quite vague, and trying to find the key safe is impossible to find in the dark when we checked in later in the evening. Unfortunately, Sykes cottages landline and mobile were closed so couldnât get help as all staff had left for the evening in the main restaurant. We spent more time cleaning than we did relaxing. We checked out a day early because we couldnât stand it anymore and checked in to a wonderful pub in Lupton to make up for the holiday. Would not recommend to anyone, especially when the owner refused to agree to any form of compensation. Sykes did their best but even with photographic evidence, it didnât help. There are so many beautiful places to stay around this area, go anywhere else but here!

Hi, Directions to the lodge were a bit ambiguous, starting point was from A6 which is quite a long road.
Better starting point would have been junction 35 on the M6 especially if not familiar with the area. Finally found the lodge and pleasantly surprised how spacious and cleaned it was. Well maintained and well equipped. Site was clean and pleasing to the eye. Soon found the TV wasnât receiving a signal for any terrestrial channels and on demand channels were limited. The TV remote didnât work either. There were no instructions on how to hook up to the free WiFi so had to rely on using phone data to use the internet. Pointed this out to Sykes and they promised to contact owner to remedy these faults but after a couple of days said they couldnât get hold of them so nothing was done. Good job it wasnât anything serious! Would have helped if there were written instructions on how to operate the microwave, turn on the heating, using the hot tub and operate the TV. Also, some tips on where to eat, local attractions etc. One last whinge, the two single beds arenât really suitable for large adults but for children up to early teens. Apart from the above, it didnât stop us from having a nice break in the Lake District as we only used the lodge as a base in the evening. Would I use Tiptoes Lodge again? Probably not. And Sykes Cottages? The jury is still out.

Not sure who ls responsible for this, but when we arrived we collected the Lodge keys from the key safe.
On the keys was a fob to lift the barrier so the car could get through. However there was no where to scan the the fob to open the barrier, we were then told we needed a code to open Barrier, which someone kindly gave us. Sykes cottages didn't make us aware of this?. Also big health and safety issue with Hot Tub. In order to get into the hot tub the lid had to be removed each time, as the lid had got no form of hinge we had to lift it to the ground, and lift back up each time to cover Not good for a 70 yr old and daughter. Accident waiting to happen. Also the tub was not maintained through the holiday, no cleaning solutions added, so by the time a few days had passed, it wasn't fit to get in. Another health issue. Other than that the Lodge is beautiful and the setting is perfect. Spoilt a bit by the 2 issues. Would appreciate your feedback on this.

Gorgeous place not overlooked & the lake area is so nice.
lovely & clean & attention to detail inside with nice modern touches, ornaments to make it feel homely & the biggest TV Iâve seen! Spacious, loads of storage & nice little seating area on the deck, which is enclosed for dogs. Good little welcome pack too. You can hear the traffic from the M6 & busy A road, not that it bothered me & it means itâs so easy to get to. Couple of things that I didnât take as I assumed they would be provided is a hairdryer & washing up liquid so we missed those & my daughter was gutted we couldnât get the led lights working around the TV unit as shown on the pictures, couldnât find any details on how to switch these on. itâs a bit of a surprise that the park do not recycle the rubbish, but thatâs on the park. All in all lovely relaxing stay in the lovely lodge & I would return for another visit.

If people are to take the pets they should clean up if they have accidents.
My husband spent a good hour or so just getting stains up out of the carpets from previous guests. Both Bedroom and lounge carpets were filthy! Disgraceful that owners can not clean up after their pets! The lodge needs a lot of work doing to it! The hot tap is dangerous in the bath! It literally came off in my hand whilst showering and I couldnât turn tap off without the help of my husband due to how hot water was! The blind in bathroom fell down as we tried to open bathroom window! The curtain rail in lounge above main door looks like it needs repairing! Privacy curtains around hot tub were ripped, zips broken and totally useless! Throughout the lodge numerous electrical sockets where switches were missing and coming off when switching on. Beautiful location but the lodge needs some serious maintenance work!!
