  Thank you so much for our stay at your beautiful lodge.

  we’ve had such a wonderful 5 day break. We were a group of 5 including our 11 year old and our two Jack Russell’s. Although the entrance to the site was on a main road, once behind the gates it was a little dream of its own. The whole place was perfect, beautifully decorated to an extremely high standard with top quality bedding, lighting and facilities. It was spotlessly clean and so so well equipped, easily the best accommodation of this nature we’ve ever hired! We felt the whole place and lake was excellently maintained inside and out and felt really secure and secluded which was exactly what we were hoping for, especially with having the dogs free to roam outside. The lodge itself is just perfect, great communal kitchen/dining space with plenty of different areas to suit the whole party. The bedrooms were great, beds incredibly comfortable, all with high quality linen and pillows, and individual room climate control allowed for total flexibility. Bathrooms finished to an exceptional standard, high tech without any confusion, great showers and lighting. Excellent to have a washing machine, which we used a couple of times (due to the muddy conditions and fishing!), all kitchen appliances amazing, and even an air-fryer! The owners of this place have done an absolutely top class job making sure there is literally everything you could ever need in terms of crockery, kitchen tools and home comforts. Whilst my husband, son and mother in law spent much of the days exploring the local beaches, towns and shops, My brother and I fished the lake from dawn until dusk (in ALL the weathers - and we had everything!) and we both said we’d not had such great fishing for nearly 20years!! The fish are stunning, all in such perfect condition, we didn’t find the 35lb’ers but we did have over 500lbs worth or common and mirror carp in total over 4days! Catch after catch, all 6-15lbs which was great fun. The luxury of having the lake to ourselves was absolutely valued, it was just perfect to have all the home comforts and such excellent fishing! We felt spoilt!! We ate out at a couple of the local pubs, both of which were only a few mins drive as well as there being a great Chinese, a few local shops and some fish and chip shops within a mile or so from the lodge. All in all, this was an outstanding place, worth every penny and if we could give 100stars, we would. We will DEFINITELY be back!

  A beautiful lodge perfectly located at the end of the street, very peaceful.

  Unfortunately no views of the lake some of the pictures portray due to additional lodges and trees in the way. However this lodge is not on ground floor so does give some sense of privacy and better views. The kitchen was well equipped and heating was available to use should you need it. Unfortunately the kitchen handles were sticky and therefore needed a wipe down but overall very clean place. You get access to one car parking space right outside your lodge but take note you do have 20 steps to climb (as stated in the description as advertised) The bathrooms unfortunately had a horrible smell coming from the drains, was quite unbearable and we had no way of directly contacting management to get this fixed immediately. The mattresses & pillows in the bedroom are non existent, you just sink into it. The mattresses are well overdue a replacement. We did not sleep well at all. There is little to no wifi so i wouldnt come with the expectation of having access to the wifi. EE network worked quite well O2 was hit and miss. You only get one toilet roll for the stay per bathroom so make sure you bring your own or alternatively you can buy locally. Its a shame there were no recycling facilities for your rubbish, this should be a must for all lodges/accommodation in this day and age. Overall we had a pleasant stay its just unfortunate the bathroom and bedroom mattresses let us down.

  We had such a lovely few days staying here.

  The lodge is really sweet and was clean and cosy ready for our arrival! The views are amazing and it’s such a peaceful location. The garden is fully enclosed so we could let our little pooch wander about without worrying about her dashing after a rabbit into the great beyond! It was lovely to have breakfast and watch the blue tits etc feeding close by and the horses in the fields below. We really did just relax and unwind! It’s a great location for exploring the scenery. We visited Lyme Regis, Exmouth & did some lovely coastal walks. The cooker & microwave came in handy for cooking simple dinners. The essentials were there in the kitchen such as W/up liquid, dishwasher tablets/ T-towel (but only the one)/dishcloth & sponge, also the kitchen had various saucepans bowls/spoons & equipment you’d need. The only think I missed was a jug to measure the stock for the Risotto I cooked. The owner was really nice & responsive and supplied fresh towels for the bathroom later in the week when requested, and answered our questions about closest supermarket. The only thing extra I would have liked is hand towels for the kitchen & extra for the bathroom, but the owner is so nice I’m sure he would have dropped some off if I’d asked. I would definitely like to return! I am missing the tranquility of the setting as I type

  The property was dusty in places There was no welcome pack No bins in the bathrooms.

  There were two different codes for the barrier on the paper work from Sykes cottages and the number for the reception on the paper work wasn’t for the site but for Sykes. The correct code was then confirmed from Sykes however when we went to the site it was a different code altogether. It didn’t say on the paper work to book in at the reception but it was then clear when we went to reception to get the Wi-Fi code as this was not in a welcome pack in the property that they would have wanted us to go to reception. The main tv stopped working however on contacting Sykes maintenance came and sorted it. Good service. We highlighted with maintenance that in the main bathroom the mixer wouldn’t stop with the water coming out of the shower, it came out of both the shower and the tap at the same time, so when doing your hair to get more power in the shower head you had to put you foot on the mixer. The plug in the basin in the main bathroom wouldn’t stay down The handle of the shower mixer in the main bedroom comes off. Maintenance looked at these points and stated they would get these sorted for the next person.

  We stayed at Macklemore lake and lodge for a long weekend to celebrate a 60th Birthday.

  Sharon the owner was so helpful before arriving with providing details regarding the lodge which was so helpful. The lodge is located on a lake in a relaxing private setting. The grounds are kept perfectly and the fish in the lake are huge. The lodge was so welcoming, it was clean and inviting there was nothing not thought of with the kitchen having plenty of table wear and glasses and even having an airfyer. The rooms are spacious and comfortable we had young children with us and we were provided with a travel cot. We enjoyed evenings on the hot tub which was hot and clean and surrounded by lovely views. The lodge is located close to a local shop and around 15 mins away from Cleethorpes which has a steam train. We visited a local pub called The Livesey Arms for Sunday lunch which was lovely and around 5 minutes drive from the lodge. I would recommend this lodge and we will definitely be returning. We definitely had a memorable weekend.
