What our customers say about their holidays

  The lodge and the photos online bear no resemblence to the exterior of the property.

  The balcony seating area is badly in need of some cleaning. There was a pile of “dirt” on the outside table and the chairs were not usable until they had been cleaned and scrubbed by us. The bedding, towels etc were clean and fresh. However the overall cleanliness left a lot to be desired. The amount of dust, crumbs and cobwebs were not what we expected for the price that we paid. When we arrived the 1st thing my wife done was Joe down the full kitchen as there were crumbs etc and even some of the dishes still had food stuck to them. The dust in the glass on the extractor fan, I have left a message “dust me” on the top of it. This was supposed to be a break away for my wife, who is recovering from cancer and needs to ensure that everything is clean to avoid infections. The folding shower screen needs replaced as the seal at the bottom is torn away from the screen. This has resulted in “black” damp stains on the bath panel. There is a crack in the bottom of the toilet bowl in both toilets. The dust in the twin bedroom window, behind the curtain, beds and unit was really bad. The views from the lodge is fantastic and the cost of the lodge would easily be justified if the level of cleanliness was improved.

  We go to the Lakes a lot, and always around bonfire night to get our dogs away from all the madness.

  We have always stayed in cottages, so this was our first time in a lodge. I have to say this is the best accommodation we've ever stayed at, and I'd always look fo book a lodge first in future. It really did feel like a home from home and because there are only a small number of lodges it feels really private. The beds and bedding are top hotel quality, absolutely gorgeous. Everything worked like a dream and it was equipped to the best standard, you really couldn't ask for more. Really cosy and the wood burner was really efficient and we didn't use as much wood as we do back home. It's really spacious and the pictures just don't do it justice, we absolutely loved everything about this lodge. Some kind of bucket or something would be helpful to clean muddy paws, but we cobbled something together to make it work. Definitely get a supermarket delivery if you can, there were a number of deliveries around us while we were there. Access is really easy. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this gorgeous lodge to anyone and we'd definitely come again. Thank you for letting us stay in your gorgeous home from home.

  We had an incredibly disappointing stay in this property, relating to its poor maintenance and appalling standards of cleanliness.

  The property is not the 5 star comfort described. By way of brief example, Kitchen cupboards are peeling, bath panel is water damaged, wooden floor terribly water stained. Of greater concern in these Covid times, the overall standards of cleanliness were simply unacceptable. By way of brief example, walls and doors were tea/coffee stained, windows smeared, crumbs on dining table, thick dust on windows sills, kitchen and hall cupboard shelves dirty. The property is well sited with beautiful views and with some much needed TLC and deep cleaning, it could be lovely. We spent the first 90 minutes of our holiday cleaning and eventually terminated out holiday early, desperate to be back to a beautiful, clean home. Its so disappointing to see similar concerns being raised as far back as April with what seems to be little or no action taken to respond to feedback. The description of this property and the accuracy of the listing, in my opinion, urgently needs review.

  How Beck lodge is in a fantastic position and is beautifully designed but is let down by lack of proper maintenance.

  The shelves in the fridge door were broken making it hard to fit in everything needed for a family of five. We couldn’t take advantage of the local milk delivery as there was no room. The laminate on the cupboards by the hob/ kettle was heat damaged and warped. The modular sofa is past its best especially the end block which wasn’t suitable as a seat as it sinks down in the middle. There was only one functional bedside light in the master bedroom. There are brambles growing up through the decking. None of this really spoiled our holiday but I was disappointed that these issues hadn’t been resolved during/after the lockdown when the lodge would have been empty. It just didn’t meet the “Luxury” description in your advertising.

  Lovely, quiet place to get away for a couple of days.

  Me and three of my friends stayed back in July and had a great time. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. There’s a beautiful view from the back of the cottage in which you can see the sheep and horses in the field. There was a warm, relaxing a hot tub and there is also a shop close by (within walking distance) so you don’t have to worry about driving far for food. We didn’t use our car once the whole trip and even managed to hike up and get the ferry to Windermere. I will say the shower did stop working on the day we checked out none of us could shower early morning before we left even though our check out wasn’t till later that morning. Despite this it was a great stay and we would definitely come back.
