  A lovely cottage on the edge of the lakes.

  An ideal location to explore all areas of the lakes from. This comfortably furnished property with tasteful decoration has a twin and double bedroom on the ground floor and open plan kitchen, dining and lounge room on the upper floor. The bathroom is large with a decent sized shower ( although the shower itself could do with an upgrade to make it slightly more powerful - maybe just one of those JML Bead shower heads would do the job). The kitchen is better equipped than most holiday cottages with enough equipment to prepare everything from a light snack to a full roast dinner. There is even a slow cooker, ideal for preparing a meal for your return from a day of exploring. The is a small under counter fridge with an ice box, a decent sized fan oven, 4 burner hob and a full sized dishwasher. When we booked this property we were a little concerned at the lack of dedicated parking, but in reality this was never a problem and we were able to park within a hundred yards of the property at all times of day. The property has decent wifi. Nice touches include a little packet containing fresh dish cloths and dishwasher tablets. My only suggestion to the owners would be to upgrade the TV to a basic smart TV so guests can access on demand telly. A great property at a fair price and one we would definitely return to if we want to stay in the area again.

  The Village is easy to access and a good spot for exploring the Lakes.

  The Cottage has a lovely lounge and kitchen area. We loved the open fire and comfortable sofa and chairs. A perfect place to relax in the evenings. The kitchen is well equipped and we found all the info and maps really useful. However, the Sykes listing should make it clearer that there is no washing machine, that the on road parking is not outside the cottage and the cottage is located on a road with consistent traffic (fine for me but not for light sleepers like my husband). In terms of the cottage, it could be improved with better quality towels/bedding, providing a dish brush or dish sponge (we bought one to leave in the cottage), ensuring the lights/lamps downstairs work (many didn’t) and providing clear recycling instructions on the bins as it was impossible to know what could go in each of the different bins. I feel bad listing the complaints as the owners obviously love their cottage and we did have a good stay but there are small things that could be easily improved for a better experience and Sykes should relook at the listing as it is hard to understand a 4 star Sykes rating when there is no washing machine, a busy road, no garden and limited parking.

  Had a nice stay at number 10,weather was fantastic and the lodge's location made getting about nice and easy.

  Booking process and communication was spot on. Lodge overall was good but wasn't without issues,a dripping tap in the kitchen was annoying and the smell from the drains in the bathroom was terrible,I'm sure somebody is already aware as a can of tesco air freshener had been left in there to try to mask it.The outside area of the lodge needs some tlc,stained wooden flooring and covered in spiders cobwebs and although comfortable the table and chairs needed cleaning before use and have probably reached the end of their lifespan as they are very badly rusted . I don't want to be to critical because feedback is not always read the way its been written , we had a nice stay but these things need addressing. One final thing please ask people who stay to sign out of their netflix accounts,when we went onto netflix we were met with an offensive user name,obviously humourous to one person but not to all and I found it very embarrassing to see it sat there with my 71 Yr old mum. I'm not going to post it but can be supplied to owner if requested.

  Overall very disappointing stay.

  The owner contacted us to advise there would be some building work going on and hoped we wouldn't experience too much disruption however this wasn't the case. Scaffolders arrived at 8.30am on our first morning - so that was when the shouting/swearing/radio started. We were contacted by the company regarding an alternative and told that someone would contact us later with options but they didn't. The following mornings were not any better with contractors arriving before 8am, parking one of their vehicles across the front door and started hammering on the property. The property is fine if you just want a no frills base however seems quite tired - dishwasher is pure guesswork, a few basic hygiene issues - crumbs on the worktop, dirty utensils, not all pillows had protectors, shower would benefit from deep clean, rubbish in bins, etc - surprising considering the literature advises this has been a holiday let for years.

  The lodge was lovely and comfortable.

  The outdoor furniture however is rusty and could with replacing also the posts on the patio area need cleaning and the decking could do with a paint. The steps up to the lodge are dangerous 3 front slats kept falling off and had to be pushed back on. There is a main road behind the lodge which is very noisy. There is nowhere within walking distance to eat and the lakeside restraunt is closed on Monday and Tuesday ....its peak season! We went at 6.15pm on the Wednesday to be told they are not taking any more orders ...they really need to be able to cater for the amount of people staying its August so get more staff? We found some nice walks but there is nothing much around the actual site. It may be an idea to provide a welcome pack luckily I took my own washing up liquid as none in the lodge. All in all the lodge was comfortable but could do with some TLC.
