  • "Had a lovely 5 night stay here, the place was clean, tidy and has everything you needed inside."

    Only downsides were the duevet had stains on it, when we arrived the fridge tray on the door was partly broken and obviously it broke fully on us. It was also made to look like it was one lodge untill we got there and it was semi- detached which should be made more obvious because the last coulple of days we had some very noisy neighbours walking and running around the lodge! One of the pictures showed infront of the lodge there were trees- they have now gone and there are two lodges positioned infront of you which is abit miss leading. It should also be made more aware that you are on a site with many lodges on not just this one. But all in all it was a very relaxing and nice stay.

  • "Hi the place could be lovely and has a good location however the whole place was really dirty."

    The floors were disgusting. The bathroom wasn't clean. There was dust everywhere. Sofa had bits all in the cracks The bed felt dirty bitty and not clean. The hot tub was completely overlooked which made us feel uncomfortable and we hardly used it. Next door was loud and could be heard the whole time. The mattress could really do with replacing. Considering the cost we did expect much more. It was one of the more expensive places I've stayed with little to contribute to the cost. I know this isn't the fault of Skyes cottage but the company who look after the property should be passed on this feedback. I wouldn't stay again and hope they make sure changes to their cleanliness and pricing.

    Thank you very much for your feedback. We are disappointed that your stay has been less than you have expected and have spoken to the company who are contracted to clean the lodge and ensure it is kept to the high standards of cleanliness that is rightly expected by guests. We are can only apologise that you believe the property was in as poor a condition as you have stated in your feedback. Ive spoken to the management company and they have advised this is very out of character and believe that the property was prepared to their usual high standards. The hot tub privacy has been addressed and a screen of bamboos planted for guests benefit. Thank you for this constructive criticism which we have acted upon. With regards to the noise created by neighbours on the site this is unfortunate and less than fair on guests such as yourselves. We would have been happy to raise this with the site operators had you raised this during your stay so this could have been addressed as we are always on hand to help any customers while they are on holiday Thank you again for your comments Property Owner

    Clean, tidy, well equipped and comfortable. We really enjoyed our get away and would come again. Our only moan was the hot tub was overlooked. We could see the road and the lodge next door and vise versa. Some form of fencing or cover would be good to make it more private and not so looked over by others. Thankyou :)

  • "I booked this lodge to celebrate our anniversary."

    On arrival we were very impressed with the overall space and location of the lodge. However my partner went to have a bath and the water was tepid and not hot enough to make a bath. I booked here knowing it had a bath as my partner struggles to regulate her temperature especially once she has got cold. After a day hiking needed a bath to heat her up hence why I booked a property with a bath it was luke warm at best even though the shower and water coming from the sinks was hot. We called the plumber but he said he was unable to do anything this is false advertising and I'm extremely disappointed in this. The lodge was very dirty and the floors have not been mopped. The lodge itself is well located and quiet. The hot tub is a nice addition to the property. The outside decking area is lovely but cushions would be a welcome addition yo the outside furniture this area including table and decking was also very dirty considering check out is so early I would expect much higher cleaning standards. With it being our anniversary we were celebrating with a bottle of champagne there were no champagne flutes and only one wine glass very poor considering this is a place recommended for couples. We enjoyed our stay but its a shame these things have left us feeling frustrated especially considering the price we paid. A hair dryer would also be a good addition to the property..

    Thank you for your feedback Your comments are very our of character for the property I am sorry that you had problems with the water temperature, this hasn't been reported to us before and the water is regulated by a mixer tap which is in perfect working order. We don't leave any contact details n the lodge for a plumber but we are on hand to help with any issues that you may have during your stay and we didnt receive any contact from you regarding any of the items raised in your feedback. We pride ourselves in making sure that the properties are cleaned thoroughly to a high standard as our previous scores show. We will look at adding champagne flutes and a hairdryer to the property following this feedback Once again, thank you for your comments Property Owner

    The Lodge is spotlessly clean and highly functional. Very comfortable stay and enjoyed the hot tub and privacy. The Lodge is on a secluded spot on the park. The only slight downside is the height of the trees opposite the decking area. The trees block the evening sun. Would it be possible for the estate to trim the height of the trees? Lovely stay.

    100% worth the money as it’s in the perfect location, only 10 mins away from any takeaway and 40 mins from windermere. We would come back in a heartbeat. Only thing we found although it wasn’t a problem for us as our next door neighbours were so considerate of us but the property is listed as detached, however it is very much semi detached it is private so we didn’t find this an issue. The wifi isn’t the best either and the tv hasn’t got options of netflix or anything like that, so i wouldn’t suggest bringing your own laptop where you can watch your favourite shows. Despite all of this we honestly had the best week away and it was made so nice because we had a lovely lodge to come back to from a busy day, especially the hot tub was the best perfect treat. Overall we are planning on looking to book again next year as it was honestly so perfect.

    It's warm, cosy and comfortable and in a very peaceful location, (currently being the last lodge in the park). It was a short walk to the interesting shops and pubs in Cartmel and also a fairly easy walk to Grange over Sands. The hot tub and log burner were lovely to have. Unlike some other reviewer, we found the bed and seatee very comfortable and our next door neighbours were very quiet. The only problems that we found, were that it was a little difficult to find in the dark, the front door was a bit difficult to lock and unlock and the bath water wouldn't get hot enough to have a relaxing bath, (but we did have the hot tub so it didn't matter much). All in all the lodge is great.

    The lodge is warm, secluded and has everything you need for a perfect romantic getaway. The only thing I could fault with this property would be that the front door seems to stick and is hard to lock/unlock, this isn't an issue though as the door to the bedroom works fine. I'd suggest that a property guide/manual should also be on site, for instructions on the hot tub/log burner. We couldn't seem to find the WiFi password anywhere either, but this again made for the more secluded retreat we were looking for so wasn't an issue for us. Overall we would 100% come back to Crook Lodge, the place itself and the area around makes for a perfect getaway.

  • "On the whole we enjoyed our stay but were let down by a few minor issues, these included: cleanliness of the property (cobwebs in the ceilings, dust and dirt, plus stains on pillows and duvet)."

    Based on the early checkout and late check in we would expect an immaculate property. Secondly, some of the facilities are not great (the broom is broken and sliced my hand when trying to use, the hoover isn’t great, one of the hobs didn’t work, the clock didn’t work and some lights didn’t work). Lastly, and this is something that is not Syke’s fault, but our neighbours were very, very loud and kept us up most nights unfortunately. Aside from this, the accommodation is good, is in a great location and the bed is probably one of the comfiest I’ve stayed on! The hot tub is also immaculate and we made use of it every day during our stay. We would visit again but would hope that the mentioned points and attention to detail when managing the property are improved on.

    We would cycle into cartmel and it would only about 5 minutes. The plot where lodge is on is very private and quiet. Perfect for chilling out in the hot tub. Segway tour in Cartmel was good fun. Loved Unsworths yard brewery in Cartmel as it had a nice little court yard and the pizzas were delicious. Just don’t order the Bramble cocktail as it was tasteless. Would recommend booking pub meals or restaurants as it was busy and one night we struggled for somewhere to eat. The Cavendish Arms is a lovely pub with delicious food definitely recommend. Really friendly staff too.

    Bedroom and bathroom corners. Similar issue outside upon entering which instantly gave poor impression upon entering. Hot water was below heat expectation for showering and bath. Although furniture, kitchen facilities and hottub were to ab acceptable standard. Just felt with significant price increase for these properties that overall cleanliness should be much better. Grounds and peaceful area was pleasant, but for me it's unlikely I'd return here especially if prices continue to increase.

    The cottage had everything we needed and more, it was spacious enough for the two of us to move around with plenty of comfort. The bed was the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in. The cottage is located at the end of the ‘road’ which was lovely, no one driving past or disturbing us. Hot tub turned itself on a few times and the first we looked at each other a bit frightened but we figured out that it must be warming itself up! We stayed for 7 nights and had the best time. We would highly recommend renting a boat on lake Windermere and doing a hike on Keswick Via Sharp Edge, along with going to the safari zoo. We explored a lot on our bikes and enjoyed it so much. We were really really sad to leave, but for sure we will be back. Thank you for making our experience a 5* stay!

    Although we weren’t provided with any soap to wash our hands with or any toilet roll so first thing was to go to the shop to buy some for the week, very disappointed as something so simple should’ve been provided. We also were not given any matches to light the fire with so we ended up just using the heating, luckily during our stay it wasn’t too cold so it didn’t bother us! There wasn’t adequate hot water to run a bath or have a proper shower - I would say lukewarm water, if it wasn’t for the hot tub it wouldn’t have been great after a long day of walking! We tried to ring skyes everyday but couldn’t get through to anyone to try and fix these issues which was very disappointing! Given the changes to our arrival and departure times we would’ve appreciated something such as a bottle of wine or chocolate/coffee etc just to make up for the last minute changes, other places we’ve stayed have provided these and it’s a very nice touch! I would come and visit again if these issues were amended but a note to self to bring toilet roll.

    Overall it was ok. But what we expected for what we paid was a much higher standard. For example the bath hot tap we could only get luke warm water. Site maintenance tried to fix it but couldn't so they suggested we use the shower to fill the bath. Disappointed at the size of the hot tub found it quite cramped as I am quite tall. Rubbish collection was only once, maybe recycling bins would help for glass, paper, etc. A welcome pack would have been a nice touch, milk in the fridge etc. (we always get one with Hoseasons) We usually book a lodge with a hot tub with Hoseasons and never had any problems with their holidays. But we would thought we would give your company a try and see if you could match up to Hoseasons standard, but sadly your firm didn't match their standard, so we will not re book with sykes holiday's.

It is also tested every day during your stay. It is private and not overlooked. We do however recommend that you take extra towels for the hot tub. The bed is so comfortable you can guarantee a great night sleep. Well equipped, you shouldn't want for anything. There was one downside though that it is adjoining to another lodge and unfortunately our neighbours were a little noisy into the early hours.

This is our second stay with Sykes, having stayed in a big family lodge with our family previously. Both times we have been provided with exactly what we wanted. The booking and contact from Sykes is excellent. The only small issue is that maybe if the lodge was ready earlier as I believe it was we could have been notified instead of waiting until 1500hrs, because as check out is 10am, that is quite a bit of time lost.

This superb lodge is situated a 15 minute stroll from the historic village of Cartmel, at the top of the exclusive Pastures lodge park in a slightly elevated position towards the boundary of this 26 acre park with woodland and glade, thus affording extra outdoor space and privacy.

Immaculately-presented in a quality contemporary style, this spacious lodge has open plan living with patio doors from the living area and a bedroom that opens on to the spacious elevated decking screened by glass with patio furniture and hot tub.

On entering the lodge there is a vestibule with seating area and the washer/dryer which leads into the open plan living space with a large comfortable leather settee and woodburner, perfect to relax in front of on those chillier evenings.

When warmer, open the patio doors and step onto the decking perhaps for an alfresco meal or drink and listen to the sound of bird song.

The well-equipped stylish kitchen has integral appliances, granite surfaces and has a very useful wine chiller.

Stepping into the spacious bedroom there are also patio doors leading to the private decking and the en-suite bathroom has a bath with rain shower over and with beautiful contemporary fixtures and fittings.

The lodge also benefits from a hot tub allowing guests to relax after a hard day exploring the local area.

Picturesque Cartmel is just three quarters of a mile away with its 12th century priory, and interesting independent shops and, of course, its eateries and pubs, including the infamous L'enclume restaurant together with a great selection of other restaurants.

There is also the racecourse which holds meets during the summer months when the whole village is open, so a fantastic day out is within walking distance.

Locally, there is Newby Bridge, which is at the southerly tip of Windermere, where you can take a boat cruise and view the stunning lakeland scenery on route to Bowness or Ambleside.

Cyclists will also delight in the many trials especially in close by Grizedale Forrest.

Grange-over-Sands is just 2 miles away, a Lakeland Edwardian coastal town with estuary promenade walk, a chocolatier and cafes.

Humpreys Head is a pretty walk with coastal views and bluebell-filled woodland and this point is said to be the last known sighting of a wolf.

This fabulous lodge is perfectly positioned for exploring this glorious lakeland area both near or further afield all year round.

Return back to the lodge at the end of the day and enjoy total rest and relaxation.
