  109 Pentney Lakes caravan was fab!

  Obviously it's small, but it was overall more spacious than we thought, and there's loads of outside decking which makes it even bigger, if the weather obliges. We sat outside to eat a couple of times, there's plenty of space. We also managed to park 3 cars, so that wasn't an issue either. The kitchen is well equipped - its just like a small version of being at home, with everything you need, even a coffee machine. Welcome pack was also very generous (thank you!), and the whole place was spotlessly clean. And nicely decorated too. Big fridge/freezer, plenty of room for the wine and snacks! The area is small for more than one adult to be preparing food, but that's fine. I guess if you have 6 people you may struggle to all sit at the kitchen table, but again, wasn't a problem for us. We used both bedrooms and the sofa bed too. The sofa bed was comfortable, and the lounge was great for chilling, with the patio doors open it was lovely. The bathroom was good too - with a really nice shower. We go to Pentney so we can ski at Premier Water Ski with Greg - and we loved staying in the caravan this time as it felt like a bit of luxury, a nice place to retreat to when we were tired and needed a cuppa, but still close to the lake so we didn't miss anything going on! One bit of advice - if you're sleeping on the sofa bed, make sure you close the blind on the ceiling window in the kitchen - otherwise you'll get woken up by a rogue sunbeam on your face! I could've got up to try and work out how to close the blind - but at 5am I couldn't be bothered! Great caravan, loved it, we will definitely try and stay here again, if we can get it for a short break again.

  Accommodation was better than anticipated and very clean.

  Excellent bed with good linen. Located overlooking the lake. Large decking area at the side and also on the front. Good shower and bedroom larger than had imagined with large wardrobe and skylights allowing air flow. Good fridge and kitchen accessories were good quality. The site is very natural and unspoilt and we slept really well as it was so quiet over night. Comfortable furnishings. Ideal for 2. Fishing was very good. Only downside is the road that runs through the site and directly in front of the vans. It is dust and not concrete. As such vehicles exceeding the speed limit - and most did, resulted in large plumes of dust falling across the front decking and sometimes into the van, making it impossible to sit on the front and the spread of the dust did leave us feeling grubby and our clothes dirty. No washing machine which would help if staying longer. It was very hot when we stayed which probably exacerbated the issue but it was bad and you could only use the seating at the rear of the side decking if you wanted to sit out and dine or have a drink. The only other problem was we tried to put our rubbish into the green bin the owner had indicated, but were told when we did so, the bin was only for residents and not visitors. As such we had to leave the rubbish for the owner to dispose of. A bin nearer for the holiday bins would be a simple solution.

  The mobile home was nice but was dirty on arrival.

  Cobwebs in the kitchen with flies on it. In the main bedroom there still is a dead fly sitting on the blind of the left hand ceiling window. There were also dead flies on the floor near the tv. The place needs to be cleaned properly after someone leaves. My wife and I cleaned the cobwebs and hoovered the place properly before leaving as it’s not comforting for anyone to come see this. Plus the place needs a washing machine, after staying a week I had to wash all he kids clothing by hand and couldn’t leave outside as the dirt and dust from car driving by made the clothes dirty again, clothes washed by hand takes forever to dry when inside the mobile home. The dishwasher is of no value if cleaning tablets aren’t provided. No mop/bucket was provided so when any of the children dropped anything I had to use wipes to clean the floor. The children’s bedroom was far to tiny with two tiny single beds. The lights in the hallway wasn’t working so had to use lamp from main room for children. The light switch in the main bedroom has been connected incorrectly, the light switches on when pressing up. The fire alarm didn’t work when tested, so major concern. There’s also a whole near the top of the ceiling above sofa which I had to put tissue in as flies kept coming in.

  The Lodge is a great holiday property run by very friendly and helpful hosts Sonia and David and spaniels.

  Peaceful, secluded countryside location, great for stargazing on clear nights. Lots of attractions a short drive away. Fantastic walks for our dog in, and away from, the property. Bedroom 1 with king size bed, walk in wardrobe, TV with free sat and ensuite toilet and basin. Bedroom 2 has twin beds, ideal for younger children. Bathroom with large walk-in shower, WC and basin. Open plan kitchen/diner/sitting room large enough for a family of four. Large fridge freezer, gas hob, separate grill and oven. Storage space is plentiful throughout. The very clean property is well stocked with many items not usually provided in holiday lets, such as good quality hand wash at every basin, washing up liquid, dishwashing sponge and cloth, oven gloves, tea towels, kitchen roll, plenty of loo roll, books, board games, DVDs, sewing kit, first aid kit, vacuum, sweeping brush and desk fan. Welcome basket of hot drinks and tasty biscuits and charming little vase of flowers on arrival. Dog treats and loan of mat, bowl, doggy blanket for sofa and towel were much appreciated. Lovely to relax in the wood burner-heated hot tub filled with spring water, under cover, with solar powered lights. We very much enjoyed our stay. Thank you David and Sonia!

  The lodge was a perfect getaway for me and my family.

  The location was perfect and so quiet which is exactly what we were looking for, the lodge was tidy and well equipped with everything you would need for the stay. The kids really enjoyed the welcome basket fully of goodies. The hot tub for us didn’t get hot enough but that’s just personal preference the kids still went in multiple times and loved it. Inside the lodge there was also a handy guide of local walks we could on which I thought was good (if it hadn’t rained the whole time!). Only suggestion we had was when meeting Sonia and David when we arrived we were told how to work everything such as hot tub and which bins for recycling but after they had gone we had already forgot! I feel this could be helpful if it was written down and left in the lodge but didn’t affect the stay in any way. I would definitely recommend staying here if you want a relaxing break away.
