Woodland Retreat Reviews

We had a lovely break as a family. The lodge is tucked out of the way and is quite private. I loved the hot tub and the quietness around me. The house was lovely and warm and the WiFi was good. The house is well equipment for being away from home and for cooking in the odd day.
We had a lovely weekend break with our son and family. Comfortable beds and sofas and lovely to have our dogs with us. We very much enjoyed the hot tub, even though it was nearly November. We saw deer near the lodge, and when we went on the woodland walk. The playground and facilities were great for children. Unfortunately the first morning, we went to take the dogs out and the outside door wouldn't unlock. My daughter in law tried, I tried, it wouldn't shift. We phoned the emergency number and someone phoned us back within 20 minutes. Within an hour they got maintenance out to us, by which time my son had got up and managed to open it. The maintenance men were exemplary, checked and stopped it jamming again, helpful and friendly. No harm done, but I wish it hadn't happened in the first place.
We loved the stay here! The lodge was in a great location and the hot tub was very private. The lodge was tidy and clean. We really enjoyed our break. Thank you
The property is in a great location for Windermere and Ambleside. It is also in a great spot on the site itself, in the woodland as described and is quiet and private. The hottub is in a good location and was serviced daily. We paid for a leisure pass which was 7 ish per adult, we only used the pool and had a drink in the bar. The pool is a bit chaotic, however this is expected on a family holiday park. As for the lodge itself, the decking appears relatively new, and the kitchen area also appears to have had a re vamp except the oven, which could do with a deep clean. The rest of the property is dated, and to be honest on our arrival was dirty. The bathroom sinks were grimy, as was the toilet seat, there was dust spiders in all of the corners, broken bin and dirty up the walls and mould in places. Not ideal with a six month old baby in tow. The property suited us for the location but for the price we paid it did not reflect the standard I would have expected. Also the check in time of 4pm is quite late given it was clear that the property has not been thoroughly cleaned before our arrival.
Our Woodland Retreat review: Very lovely lodge just needs a little tlc
Lodge was as described, clean and in lovely woodland setting. We were family of four with two boys. Great location to explore from and we had a fab time there and no issues. Only down side if it bothers you is WiFi is awful but this is general Lake District site thing and not lodge owners. Thanks for a comfy, relaxing break.
This was our second time staying at the lodge, the standard of the facilities seems to have declined and there are signs of wear. The radiator in the bunk room still does not work, and the television has no remote. One of the double bedrooms has a broken cupboard door, the shower room has a dodgy light, and the shower door seal has deteriorated and is causing a major flood. The room would benefit from having a drying rack for our wet clothes. In the kitchen, the hob decided to not work on two occasions, and we ended up having to get a takeaway. The draw below the hob was off its rails, and the boiler still stops working which results in no hot water until we restart the boiler. It is a shame that the new decking area does not match the old decking, and there is still a lot of glass around the lodge, which is very dangerous. The maintenance crew were all super helpful, and efficient, we ended up getting to know them very well over the course of the week! We absolutely love the location of Woodland Retreat, and with a touch of TLC could be fantastic. Lake District Lodge Holidays ....... Do you know if the owners are looking at making any improvements to it? We intend on returning next year, but wouldn't come back if it is in it's current state. What other options that are similar to this do you have to offer us? Look forward to hearing from you soon. Many thanks
