Reviews

What our customers say about their holidays

  This is an honest review of our stay: The lodge is lovely, overlooking onto the small lake, although lodges are quite close together on the lakeside so lack privacy.

  Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was nice and big with useable space, plenty of crockery, utensils etc but only 5 mugs. I recommend plastic glasses be provided for outside drinking (I took my own) Living area nice, comfortable and spacious. Parking for 2 cars. Outdoor sitting area. Had to walk up to the lodge to collect keys then back down to open barrier to allow us to enter. Only one key and fob supplied, we had two cars so asked for an additional fob the following day and this was refused bluntly by the manager at reception (no explanation as to why) so this prevented us from asking anything again. Note - the restaurant is only open Wed-Sun (so check website for accurate information). Spiders! There were cobwebs and spiders inside the living area and on the outside of lodge above external doors/windows (we saw other lodges being cleaned with a brush to get rid of them). The veranda didn’t look like it had been swept so one of our party swept it and brushed the cobwebs from the glass around the veranda inside and outside as the glass was dirty. Could I recommend you put an external light near steps as two of us tripped going up and down. Hot tub is not very private, it also didn’t have a handle to open/close the lid so unfortunately it was only used three times in as it was too heavy/awkward (everywhere we’ve been it’s used at least one a day). Hot tub hours 10:00-22:00 I would have an expected earlier start like 08:00. The hot tub was not maintained once while we were there for chlorine/safety levels (everywhere else we’ve stayed it’s checked daily). TV remotes had batteries missing and in one bedroom the back of remote and one battery was found at the back of lower shelf in cabinet - obviously lack of attention to detail). Toilet paper was found under a bed (was there when we got there as my dog found it). Unfortunately because lack of external cleanliness (lack of attention to detail) non maintenance of hot tub, no external lighting and lack of privacy we won’t be returning to this lodge.

  The Barbon was an excellent base to get away from current problems in the world and perfect for a family.

  There is enough space for everyone to have their own escape but loads of shared area to have real quality family time. The great things about The Barbon are the hot tub which is really well maintained and spotless, the firepit and BBQ. We were blessed with the weather so were outside most of the time. The kitchen area and living area allow for lots of shared family time. Areas for improvement- the tv is internet tv only so you will need to sign into your own accounts to watch anything. It wasn’t a problem for us but might be for others. The inly other thing worth a mention is there is a glamping site next door which we didn’t know about so if you are expecting isolation this place has 11 shepherd huts next door. The Barbon and The next door accommodation are kept very separate, but they are there. The site is however situated in a rural area - 20 mins to the nearest supermarket so it’s probably worth arranging a food delivery rather than popping to the shop and a pub about a mile away which isn’t really walkable as the roads are very narrow. Also on our last day the water became Luke warm so showers were less than pleasant. A disappointing end to an otherwise perfect stay. We had a fabulous stay though and would highly recommend it.

  The Lune is a lovely property, however during settling in we realised that the property was not as clean as it should have been.

  There was large amounts of dust everywhere, even plaster dust from when the property was built which ended up on our clothes from the cupboard space. There is also lack of storage space in the family room so we ended up living out of our holdalls for the week. The sofa was filthy with food stains and crumbs under the cushions. We even found an old sock and jigsaw pieces down the sofa and underneath the sofa was thick with dust. We found ourselves wiping surfaces down ourselves. In addition, disappointed to not have received a small welcome pack upon arrival which should be standard for guests so there was not even a scrap of milk for us. That said we enjoyed our holiday and would return if the above issues were addressed.

  Had a fantastic 1 week stay at The Lune with family, just what we all needed.

  Location was lovely, with a park onsite for the children to use! The lodge was very spacious, with the added bonus of the hot tub which was perfect after exploring the Lakes. There was building work going on during our stay which we were unaware of, however this is a temporary thing and didn’t effect our stay in the lodge but would have liked to have been told prior to arriving. We thought it might also be useful for future customers to have an information book in the lodge to give an in-site on the area, pubs, days out etc. Ian the owner was very friendly, and any questions we had he responded promptly. Really fantastic break away, to explore the Lake District and Yorkshire.

  The lodge was beautiful, very clean, tidy and cozy, only thing that weren’t clean was the decking but it’d been windy so can expect that.

  Hot tub amazing and was enjoyed by all. We were promised WiFi and to be honest we wouldn’t of booked the property if we knew we didn’t have it as me and my husband work from our computer's and had to buy extra data, we also had two teenagers with us who couldn’t use their phones when in the lodge, as I weren’t provided with a direct number for the owners I tried to get in touch with Sykes cottages but had no reply, if the property had WiFi we would stay again but as is with no WiFi we wouldn’t and I think you should update your advertisement on your website as it’s false advertising and very misleading to future customers.
