Wansfell View

We had a lovely stay in the cabin, hottub was wonderful, the scenery was amazing, location lovely and quiet, cabin was set out lovely, would come back for another stay. .

Lodge was amazing with great hot tub and comfy beds. The only problems we encountered was the oven was dirty and not been clean also the bbq had we needed to use it was to small for our disposable bbq and who ever was there before us had obviously use it and left. Ashcoal and cigarette ends in it apart from that everything was perfect.

Lovely place. Exactly as listed. Very comfortable with all that you need for a weekend or week away. Really good size living spaces and socialising spaces. Ideal location for exploring in the lakes and especially for Windermere. Great directions from the host as to finding the lodge on the park as well. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you

Great location and so cosy! Only negatives were that the kitchen pans in the oven were extremely dirty they would do with replacing and the lights in the hot tub did not work. There was a great selection of games in the lodge and lots of information on local walksactivities. Would 100 go back.

Unfortunately the previous guests had not cleaned the oven on leaving and the living space wasnt fantastic, I blame previous guests. But on a positive note the bathroom and bedrooms were clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the outside space and hot tub was great.

Definitely will come back. Beautiful place and accommodation.

I did initially share with the property owner when we gave our car registrations. It is a lovely property lots of space, hot tub, equipment etc but unfortunately the place was dirty. I did just say to them that I had to run over the place as there were crumbs etc everywhere but the bathrooms were dirty and Im not sure they had been cleaned at all. The second bedroom had a false broken finger nail on the side and one of the single beds was covered in hair. The bathrooms were covered in dust, hair etc. when I went to hoover, it was so full that it was clear it wasnt able to pick anything up so I had to empty it. I couldnt get some of it out as it was so jammed. I dont feel like I should have had to do this on my holiday. I also had to wash pots and pans before use. However, it is a gorgeous place and I didnt let it spoil my holiday. Think the owners need to know that it is not being cleaned to a good standard and they are paying for this service. I would whole heartedly recommend this property and stay again if I knew it was cleaned properly.

Absolutely lovely place. It was spotless inside and out on the decking. Hot tub was lovely. The lodge itself was probably the best we have stayed in. Sofas, beds etc were so comfortably. Will definitely be booking it again. Thankyou.

We loved our stay in this great property. There was plenty of room, comfy beds, & was well equipped. The hot tub was very luxurious & maintained daily. The setting was also peaceful, in a beautiful location, & perfect for our needs. Just a side note, the fridge & cupboard fronts needed a wipe down from finger prints, but overall mostly tidy & clean. Also, the instructions for the car park barrier about using a code may need updating, as we realised after asking the person at reception that it is now operated by using the Bluetooth device on the lodge key ring.

Lovely lodge in beautiful surroundings. Hot tub was amazing! Would definitely stay again.

Wonderful property, bbq could have done with a clean as a little mold on it, outdoor furniture needs a wipe down, other than that spotless and great.

Excellent property Overall! Very clean, it has everything you would need and want! Very close to main town and even has an area for pool and a bar on site. Couldnt recommend enough!

Lovely cabin ,very clean with everythink you need for a stay away from home,its positioned in a lovely quiet position which helps you relax whilst your away. i would book a stay here again without question.

Beautiful lodge with great hot tub and great location not far from the facilities the only down side was getting into the park as there was a code given for barrier but no key pad so you have to go to reception for them to buzz you through before you get to the lodge to get the fob we didnt realise this till the second night when reception was closed we had to trail up to barrier as family had been out for take away and went to use key pad maybe the code should not be mentioned in the booking for the barrier? We had one pet dog with us as we booked pet friendly this was a little stressful as we were told in the instructions to keep pets from furniture etc which we do understand and we took loads of blankets to protect settees but they just kept slipping off as they were leather and because the young children kept leaving the bedroom doors open the dog spent the time in the lodge in her cage so although states pet friendly its not easy if you have a pet that wants to be next to the family but lovely stay and a well maintained lodge

Beautiful property, very clean & fully equipped and set in a great location. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay even though the weather was not at its best. We made use of the hot tub and found this to be extremely relaxing. Definitely would book to stay here again in the future and would recommend to others. Excellent holiday was had by all.

Loved the lodge and its location. We werent left any towels so had to find some in a cupboard. Most radiators didnt really get warm so the main bedroom was always freezing especially the ensuite. But apart from that it was fabulous and would def book again.

It was amazing. My family absolutely loved the place it was well equipped and the hot tub was just fab. Will definitely be booking again !!

We were welcomed at the front gate by very friendly and accommodating staff. The lodge was clean, and very spacious. Beds were super comfy. We loved the location of the property, plenty of walks to do with the family or dogs. Only a short drive to bowness or Windermere. The hot tub was always hot and class. We will definitely be making it an annual thing!

The lodge itself is lovely and well decorated. It had all the essentials needed for a perfect stay hottub, BBQ, 2x bathrooms, comfy beds, lovely views and were very accommodating for our 10 month old son by providing both a cot bed and a high chair. We cannot fault the interior and overall stay. However, there was a persistent smell coming from the main bathroom and even with the window left wide open we couldn't work out where it was coming from. We then discovered when heading out for a walk that when this toilet is flushed, the raw sewage from the toilet is leaking down the side of the lodge and is not being disposed of correctly as the pipe is clearly not sealed. Hence the foul smell. Of course we did not touch nor go near the raw sewage, however we were exposed to it. Sewage contains germs like bacteria and viruses as well as parasites and worms that can cause stomach and intestine or liver illness. None of us have been poorly touch wood but it came as a great shock and concern knowing that us and our son would have been walking past the leaked sewage with the bacteria remaining on our shoespram wheels. We were constantly worrying about washing hands relentlessly and making sure nothing dropped on the floor for the rest of our stay. I have taken a video of the leaking for reference and will be happy to send on if you can provide a number email I can forward to. On the last night Sunday evening of our stay, whilst preparing our dinner, the whole electricity within the lodge went out. No lights, no power. This was around 6pm on the bright side, handy that it was before the sun had fully gone down and everything was in complete darkness. We searched the lodge manual and both the booking confirmation for an emergency number and had no luck managing to find one. There was noway of contacting the owners or Sykes Cottages quickly for assistance. My husband walked up to the Park's reception nobody there because of the time on a Sunday evening but managed to speak to the Night Manager and explained what had happened. He came down to the lodge and managed to trip the power back on via an external box round the side of the lodge. However, for us this was not clearly shown nor explained anywhere for us to sort ourselves. I would suggest either an emergency contact number or a 'what to do if' FAQ section is included to detail this for future renters. As mentioned the lodge is beautiful and a great location on site and we cannot fault the overall stay and interiors. But the raw sewage is a huge red flag and we are just thankful that none of us were unwell, hence the low cleanliness rating. Along with the electrics, very inconvenient, but we understand these things happen, but for there to be no emergency contact or information on how to rectify is a problem. I look forward to receiving a response to the above. Best wishes, Jessica

We had a fantastic stay even though it rained all week. The lodge was very well equipped it even had an air fryer! lots of space and lovely fully enclosed decking area could possibly do with a parasol for when its sunny or rains!. The only negative was that the covers on the settee kept falling down so we were constantly adjusting them every time we sat down maybe find a way of attaching them over the back . The park itself was ideal for us as it was a very quiet and relaxing atmosphere. We would definitely book again

We had a great holiday & accommodation was also great especially the hot tub. Only negative would be that the instructions informed us to report to Reception but once they knew that we had booked through Sykes Cottages they didn't want to know us. We would also like to inform the owners is that wasps are building a nest in the roof of the lodge they didn't bother us but it might impact on other visitors & the lodge.

Lovely and clean . Great place for visiting places .lovely pub on sight which does noce food and has a lot of seating .

Lodge was perfect thank you, really comfortable beds everything you needed was provided even an airfryer! ! Spotlessly clean more storage than we knew what to do with! Had a lovely weekend will definitely book again.

Great lodge, like a home from home. We all loved the hot tub.

Lovely lodge had everything you need. Enjoyed the hot tub.

We have been to this lodge many, many times pre Covid and it was lovely to see how it had been updated and improved by the new owners since our last visit. Really beautiful transformation and everything you need for a brilliant home from home holiday! We love the location, easy to get to Bowness or Ambleside, but also some lovely walks and couple of pubs on your doorstep. We highly recommend the Mortal Man, about 20 mins gentle walk. Brilliant, spacious lodge, amazing location beautiful Lake District, what more could you ask for! We will be back next year

Pleasant stay Lovely and remote and very quiet area Enjoyed our stay and would happily stay again

Everything was lovely apart from the cleanliness in the lodge it was as if it hadnt been vacuumed there were dog hairs around parts of the lodge I tried to vacuum them but the 2vacums didnt work which was poor other then that the lodge was perfect lovely views would stop here again really enjoyed our stay paul

On first arrival we were pleased with lodge, spacious, well facilitated, good layout but though it seemed clean we did soon notice that the cleaning was not up to standard. Windows badly smeared with hand prints, duvets not on properly, towels were not fresh and actually stank! And food left in cupboards. The most disappointing factor was its the first lodge weve stayed in where we didnt get a welcome hamper. This wouldve been very helpful as we arrived late due to heavy traffic jam with a two year old and had no milk or bread or coffee and the shop on site shuts at 6. Apart from that we had a super time. The lodge is located in a good area and even had a booster seat which came in handy for our toddler to sit at the table. The Haybarn Restaurant and pub is amazing, we loved the hot tub and the park was fab for our granddaughter. The park dean was friendly and helpful. There were a lot of dogs and sometimes it was noisy with all the barking but the runaway sheep kept us entertained. We will definitely be back.

We really enjoyed our stay top notch lodge everything was perfect the only ... We really enjoyed our stay top notch lodge everything was perfect the only downside the pub was on top of a hill no carparking and my wifes scooter would not make it up the hill

The log cabin was absolutely perfect, only downside was the cooker was dirty but we just ate out so wasn't a big issue for us. Apart from that everything was great.

Excellent lodge great check in at reception and key in key safe. Lodge has great facilities including WiFi very clean and well heated throughout. Hot tub is a great feature. The site is well located and has a fully enclosed dog walking field. We will definitely book this lodge again could not find fault One of the best lodges we have ever stayed in.

Fantastic property with a fantastic hot tub only thing we found missing was an outside light near hot tub, although there was one at front door this was on a sensor so kept going out we loved all the little Christmas touches

We have stayed at the Lodge whilst it was under previous owners and we were concerned after reading more recent reviews. However we couldn't disagree more with what has been mentioned about this property. It has been done up beautifully, immaculate inside with all ammenties needed. A man came round to check on the temp and cleanliness of the hot tub twice daily which was a wonderful addition to our weekend. The owner had decorated the lodge for Christmas and it felt like the perfect pre family Christmas weekend.

Due to recent feedback I was very concerned before starting the holiday but I can honestly say everything was clean and comfortable. The lodge is a bit dated and 3 star it should be graded rather than 4 star accommodation. We had an issue with the hot tub being too cold whilst on our stay and it was fixed promptly. The beds are very comfy too and theres loads of games for children which was a plus. In future it would be good to provide a rubber Mat in the bath for children and bath mats to step on getting out the bath or shower as there were non and the floor was slippy. Anyway we had a great family holiday and loved the site particularly the pub.

No aftercare or follow up , accommodation filthy and no key left to secure property , left on first night and came home . . no refund very upset with the whole experience !!!

Numerous maintenance issues, below standard cleaning when in the covid climate it should be enhanced cleaning, this had definately not hapoened. We were told new owners has recently bought however this is not an acceptable excuse. We paid for 4 star accommodation and found what we felt was 2 star
