  We generally enjoyed our stay.

  Lodge is nice but not very clean. Dog hair covered the carpet. We had taken several videos and ended up not wearing any socks or not placing anything on the carpet. The owner did send the cleaner back. She vacuumed the living room only but it was not a vacuum for pet hair and made zero difference. We also were unable to connect to the internet for the entire stay. We were told that we were connected - yes we agree that the tv was connected but not any of our personal tech. Again video to evidence we were using the correct passcodes but unable to connect. Sykes does not accept video evidence?? Sykes pretty much indifferent as the issue was allegedly between the owner for whom we had no contact information and us. The owner was away for a few days and on return did leave a complimentary gift which was nice but honestly we would have preferred clean carpets - as dog hair was on the sofa, cushions, and bed linen. I think obviously when changing the beds the quilts are placed on the floor?? My guess. Internet access (bar the tv) would have been nice.

  Fantastic place to stay and during a long heatwave we could not have timed it better.

  The property has everything you need and is very secure for your 4 legged friends. The only 2 gripes I do have, 1. Bedroom curtains are too thin and there is a static caravan out the front which leaves the porch light on all night which shines straight into the bedroom, so didn’t get much sleep all week! 2. The hot tub was used all week, day and night by the kids and at no point did anyone call around to do a PH test and top up the chlorine levels, by the 5th day the water started to smell a bit stagnant and had a green look to it, so we stopped using it, other places we have stayed called around every couple of days to test the water or had a floating chlorine device which stopped in there when not in use, you could also not adjust the temperature, so was made to use it at 37deg which I have read up on and this is a standby temperature when you are away! I like a hot tub

  We had a fantastic time at Hunters Cottage.

  We found the house very clean and had everything you need for a relaxing break. The log fire was perfect for those cold, winter nights and heated the whole house. Plenty of fire wood was provided. The hot tub was huge and the roof kept the rain off. Unlike other reviews, we found it hot and clean. The kitchen had all the amenities. There was a TV in the lounge, kitchen and every bedroom with freeview and netflix. Prime was also accessible if you have an account. We were also able to access a TV port to plug in our PS5. Poppy (our elderly boxer dog) was allowed full roam of the house which was much appreciated and made the break much more relaxing as we didn't have to worry where she was and she could do what she normally does. The games cupboard was very thoughtful and gave us a night of laughter. Benllach was a perfect base to explore Anglesey.

  We stayed at Parkers Place for a second time in March 2024, having stayed the previous year.

  Again, we found the lodge to be very spacious and comfortable. We have been visiting this site for 15+ years and Parkers Place is one of the best lodges we've stayed in. I do feel though that the lodge needs a little TLC since our last visit. The patio area was extremely slippy. The bottle holder in the fridge had been removed (I assume broken at some point). A few of the kitchen drawers seem to fall off there runners if you pulled them out fully. The mattresses were a little too soft but this is a personal preference. These are all very minor things but could help to improve a stay at Parker's Place. The site is very quiet, safe and clean. I would definitely recommend the beauty salon and gym/pool. I would have no hesitation in booking again and plan to do so. Many thanks for letting us use your lovely lodge.

  Lodge as it is brand new on this site.

  The lodge will sleep six but was booked for just the two of us. Everything is brand new within the lodge. The first night we arrived late due to horrid traffic conditions on the trip from Essex. As we arrived late we decided to have a meal at the bar attached to reception after quickly unloading the car. I ordered Fish and chips and i must say the meal was also fantastic best F&Cs i have tasted in a long while. Steve the owner dropped in Sunday night to check we had settled in all ok and told us some good places to visit locally. We also had some wine Beer and choco's left for us on arrival a lovely touch from the owners. Thank you Steve and Liz for allowing us to rent such a lovely lodge and enjoy our 5 night stay in the Lake district
