Coniston

Lovely lodge set beside a lake. Had a few issues with the boiler but this got sorted out quickly. The lodge was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. Great hottub. Would definitely recommend to friends.

The property was spotless. . one of the best we've have stayed in, lovely location, lovely pitch around a small man made lake. The cabin was spotless when we arrived, just beautiful. We have a great stay and we would recommend this property.

What I am about to write is not criticism, it is only suggestions. The cabin is fantastic but only needs couple of points of attention!! There is no light above the three steps to the cabin. At night, one cannot see them and on a rainy night can be hazardous. A motion sensor light above the steps solves the problem. The six dining chairs should be faux leather so can be cleaned properly by anyone, instead they are made of cloth material and stained badly. It makes the guests reluctant to sit on them. Finally, could you add 4 teaspoons plus a pair of scissors to the utensils, please

The lodge was lovely I gave 4 star rating not 5 star as booked for a week over ... The lodge was lovely I gave 4 star rating not 5 star as booked for a week over Christmas with our grandchild Only thing the lodge lacked was an Xmas tree I have stayed in the site every Christmas for the past 4 years and we have allways had a tree provided That said I couldnt fault the lodge it was lovely and would book again

Absolutely stunning

This is an honest review of our stay The lodge is lovely, overlooking onto the small lake, although lodges are quite close together on the lakeside so lack privacy. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was nice and big with useable space, plenty of crockery, utensils etc but only 5 mugs. I recommend plastic glasses be provided for outside drinking I took my own Living area nice, comfortable and spacious. Parking for 2 cars. Outdoor sitting area. Had to walk up to the lodge to collect keys then back down to open barrier to allow us to enter. Only one key and fob supplied, we had two cars so asked for an additional fob the following day and this was refused bluntly by the manager at reception no explanation as to why so this prevented us from asking anything again. Note the restaurant is only open WedSun so check website for accurate information. Spiders! There were cobwebs and spiders inside the living area and on the outside of lodge above external doorswindows we saw other lodges being cleaned with a brush to get rid of them. The veranda didnt look like it had been swept so one of our party swept it and brushed the cobwebs from the glass around the veranda inside and outside as the glass was dirty. Could I recommend you put an external light near steps as two of us tripped going up and down. Hot tub is not very private, it also didnt have a handle to openclose the lid so unfortunately it was only used three times in as it was too heavyawkward everywhere weve been its used at least one a day. Hot tub hours 10002200 I would have an expected earlier start like 0800. The hot tub was not maintained once while we were there for chlorinesafety levels everywhere else weve stayed its checked daily. TV remotes had batteries missing and in one bedroom the back of remote and one battery was found at the back of lower shelf in cabinet obviously lack of attention to detail. Toilet paper was found under a bed was there when we got there as my dog found it. Unfortunately because lack of external cleanliness lack of attention to detail non maintenance of hot tub, no external lighting and lack of privacy we wont be returning to this lodge.

Its was were nice

Lovely place, accommodation was as described however all the carpets were soaked through on our arrival and the smell of dog urine was horrendous. The carpets had obviously been cleaned before we arrived but hadnt dried out at all. Having all the doors and windows open made it bearable however every morning it hit us and was so strong. The lodge was equipped with everything you need and the beds were extremely comfortable. It was just a shame about the carpets and the odour. The site is a lovely place and the hot tub was fabulous.

The lodge was beautiful, very clean, tidy and cozy, only thing that werent clean was the decking but itd been windy so can expect that. Hot tub amazing and was enjoyed by all. We were promised WiFi and to be honest we wouldnt of booked the property if we knew we didnt have it as me and my husband work from our computer's and had to buy extra data, we also had two teenagers with us who couldnt use their phones when in the lodge, as I werent provided with a direct number for the owners I tried to get in touch with Sykes cottages but had no reply, if the property had WiFi we would stay again but as is with no WiFi we wouldnt and I think you should update your advertisement on your website as its false advertising and very misleading to future customers.
