  • "We really enjoyed our stay at snuggledown, wonderful lodge in a peaceful location within the park, and just a short walk to the edge of lake Windermere!"

    We came up from the midlands to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary with our two dogs, and would definitely recommend to anyone considering visiting the lakes.

    Thank you for taking the time to give a review. Happy anniversary. I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to you staying at Snuggledown when you next visit the beautiful Lake District. Property Owner

  • "Real issues with cleanliness in the lodge."

    Really disappointing to see a similar review in the last month that mirrors our experience. We moved the small sofa so not to get a bad neck due to the height of the TV. All sorts of rubbish and dog hair under there, same behind the large sofa - had to use the hoover ourselves to clean up. The windows in the living room are covered in cobwebs on the inside. The oven wasn't clean, very obvious to see how dirty the glass was when the light came on. The blinds in the main bedroom do not work, so are permanently down. The bathroom with the bath in, regularly smells of drains, particularly when it rains. We did experience the 'fridge rattle' - looks like lots of previous occupants have tried to fix the issue with kitchen roll stuffed in the frame, we've added our contribution. A real shame other people have commented on these issues but it would appear no action has been taken to fix the issues. Could be a nice lodge if these issues are resolved, but currently many nicer options on this site (we've tried many over the last 10 years)

    It is disappointing to read your review. As you have stated previous guests have made similar comments. I can assure you that on each occasion these issues were reported and dealt with by LDHL. Can I assume that on your arrival you reported these issues direct to LDHL. I thank you for your feedback and will ensure that the matters will be rectified. Property Owner

  • "I will start with the positives which is the cabin is modern and the bathrooms were clean, but that is it."

    The lodge is very dark and in a cramped area on the park. There were lots of issues, the bathroom had an awful damp smell, so much so we couldn't use it. The windows inside and out were filthy, so couldn't open the blinds and look at the awful windows. The blinds in the main bedroom don't work, one fell off the wall and one won't open, a blind in the hall wouldn't open too. The fridge kept randomly making a very loud humming noise. One of the windows in the kitchen constantly had condensation (the window needs replacing) all the soft furnishings smelt dirty and of wet dogs. To top it all off the cleanliness was absolutely shocking!! The beds had not been changed but made and pretended to have been. The kitchen floor had only been hoovered and mopped in the middle, round the edges were dirty, so I had to sweep up. There were food splatters on the cupboard doors and various crockery dirty. The blind in the kitchen kept dropping out various black bits of dirt. The outside area is also very grubby and not a nice space to sit out in. I did contact the local office about the beds and they did come and change them and bring clean towels too, I didn't mention anything else at the time as I didn't want cleaners around in the evening of check in and they were just going to make excuses. I did have a phone call on the Sunday from the company and explained everything but as yet, I have heard nothing back(which is what I expected) I would not recommend this lodge unless it has a massive deep clean and all issues fixed.

    Thank you for taking the time to make your review. It is only by contacting LDHL to make them aware of certain issues that they can be resolved. Property Owner

    Thank you for taking the time to point out certain issues. I hope this didn't spoil the enjoyment of your holiday. The issue of the blind has been reported to Sykes maintenance. Property Owner

  • "Property was beautifully furnished/presented and location was great for families."

    Sadly the kitchen is a little lacking of basic items for example there was no potato peeler, and only 3 drinking glasses. All items in kitchen were dirty with dried on food and stains when we arrived, so had to put through several dishwasher loads to clean them. The en suite had a very strong smell of urine. Other than these items that can be easily remedied with better cleaning, the lodge itself was lovely and we would recommend.

    Thank you for taking the time to send feedback. It is appreciated that you've drawn our attention to certain issues which have been immediately reported to housekeeping. It is hoped your time spent at Snuggledown was enjoyable and not too affected by these issues. Property Owner

  • "We really enjoyed our stay at Snuggledown as a base to explore the lakes and towns."

    The cabin situated in an easy accessible location and close to a lots of amenities. We were warm and comfortable and found the place clean and welcoming. The kitchen was well provided for with many key essentials which made meal preparation easy while away. We would love to return to Snuggledown in the future, maybe in the summer so we could enjoy eating out on the deck with warmer and drier weather. The following is a few notes for the owners only. The intention is for improvements and adjustments. - The main bedroom cotton bed sheet is quite rough to lie on as it covering with hard nodules, may be due too many washing. - The kitchen hob light will not stay on. - one grey mug is chipped. Finally, thank you for having us.

    Thank you so much for your positive feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to you returning to Snuggledown in warmer months. We appreciate your comments regarding a few issues and will ensure improvements are made in the future. Property Owner

    The property had a luxury feel to it and there was everything you needed inside, particularly in terms of kitchen equipment. We loved the electric fire and it really quickly warmed up the living room in the mornings after just a few minutes. The location was perfect, just 3 miles to Ambleside, and again to Bowness in the opposite direction. Booths supermarket is just around the corner by car too. We will definitely be back!
