  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.

  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.

  We enjoyed a wonderful week at Gressingham 7.

  If, like me, you struggle to find the key safe on arrival, it is attached to the wooden fencing, a short way along from the door. The glass balcony gave us fabulous views of the birds on the lake. We spotted coots, grebes and a heron besides the more common (but very entertaining) ducks, swans and geese. The outdoor furniture was a little different (better I’d say) than the photos - still the sofa in the background but the table had 6 chairs for enjoying outdoor meals and the 2 loungers had been replaced with comfy chairs. The weather was unusually hot and the lodge did get rather warm, even with lots of doors and windows open. Maybe a fan could be added to the already extensive array of equipment provided to help with this (admittedly rare) occurrence. The kitchen is well equipped with good, sharp knives - always a bonus. The TV sound is activated by pressing the top left hand corner of the controller on the wall to the right of the TV. The bedrooms have comfy beds and the whole lodge has lots of storage. We’d love to stay again!
