  • "Great, modern lodge in fantastic location."

    Had a lovely week staying there. Unfortunately, there were a few problems which took a little of the shine off a little. The WiFi didn’t work until halfway through our holiday and we had to get a different router. It was sorted as quickly as possible (24 hrs or so) but the instructions weren’t clear for use and meant an extra cost to me for kids data. The hot tub temperature was changeable. First couple of days, was lovely and warm but then went tepid. Again, somebody came and attended to it pretty quickly but, by the time it had warmed back up again, we were going home and so had 2 days of perfect temperature and two days of tepid temperature. The TV in the kids bedroom didn’t work and appeared to have no signal. Something I didn’t bother to query after the above. There was a water leak on the window sill at the kitchen area window. I have to say there was very heavy rain for most of the week so possibly a bit of an occupational hazard. The challenge of staying Monday-Friday and checking in at 4.00pm and out at 10.00am is that the site can’t afford to get anything wrong. And, unfortunately, the small things that I feel you pay a little more for, were the things that did go wrong.

  • "The lodge was clean and comfortable."

    I had read reviews that it was a bit tired, but I found it fine for a holiday lodge. A bit on the expensive side at over £800 for 3 nights, but I guess you pay for the location. The hot tub was clean and was checked every morning by park staff and it was a welcome rest after a full day exploring. A bottle of prosecco was there when we arrived, which was a nice touch. The directions to the lodge need updating as they say it is on yhe right after the Gulf garage. We drove past it as the garage is no longer there and was a construction site with very noisy machinery work that started at 7.30 on Monday morning. I was glad i wasn't there for a full week as being woken up at that time on holiday is not good. That was the only niggle I had. Overall pretty good

  • "Lodge is lovely and very homely."

    The hot tub was ready to use when we arrived which was fabulous. The extensive decking area is really great. We also had access to the local leisure centre which was handy to have. Beds were very comfy. Kitchen, bathroom etc were clean. Both the bathrooms need some tlc, chipped bath, and there are clear sealant/damp issues across the property and tired skirting boards. There are lot dead flies on window sills and internal cob webs, etc, which was off putting. The park itself is really great and a premium park with a 3 minute walk to Bowness. The land next to the park is getting developed, so 20 metres from this lodge, work started between 7:30am and 8:15 am every morning, we are dissatisfied that we were not told about the works, they went on most of the day and were intermittently noisy. The staff and food in the willow restaurant on site are brilliant but the service is awful. Waiting anything from 40-50 minutes for a starter, a real shame, it wasn’t brilliant last year but is definitely worse which is a let down to o the whole park. On the whole, really enjoyed our stay.

    Thank you for your comments. We are pleased to see that you had an enjoyable stay at Acorn Bank. We have been informed that new bathrooms will be added in November. We apologise for the issue that you experienced with the land next to the park being developed, and would like to add that this is a Park issue. Further to your comments about the The Willow Restaurant, whilst we apologise for the service you received, this is a park issue.

    Sitting in the hot tub felt like we were in a tree house. It needs a little TLC here and there and the fridge wasn't very good (either too warm or frozen!). There was only the remains of the toilet roll on each holder with no spares, it would have been a nice touch to provide spares. Some of the utensils need replacing and the knives are really really blunt! Luckily I had my camper van with me with my own stuff that I could use. Small things but at this price point I would expect a little more attention to detail.

    We love the location of the park and when we saw this lodge had availability it was nice to know what we were ‘expecting’ and very welcoming to see the lodge had had new sofas and carpets fitted throughout since our previous visit. Even though on first glance the lodge looks very welcoming and clean I personally don’t think the cleanliness is to what should be expected when housekeeping has between 10am of a family leaving to 4pm to a new family arriving; I wiped down the kitchen worktops, dining table and coffee table when we arrived and my cloth was dirty. The mattress in the master room was one we remembered as soon as we laid down; I can only describe it as if you lay facing the outside of the bed it can feel like you’re going to roll out and if you face the inside of the bed, it feels like you’re trying to climb a slop, I understand a lot of different shapes and sizes will sleep in that bed over the year but it was incredibly uncomfortable but bedding was very clean. Due to the weather we didn’t use the hot tub but you could feel the heat under the cover and it definitely smelt clean and hygienic. The above wouldn’t put us off staying in the lodge again but for the price we paid for this stay, in what I would consider to be out of season, I would initially look into other lodges first to see if I could get more for my money.

    Thank you for your feedback. Whilst we do find that beds and mattresses are down to personal preference, the beds, bases and the mattresses were replaced last year. We are sorry that you were unable to use the hot tub due to the bad weather. Property Owner

    The lodge is perfect location and the complimentary bottle of champagne was a nice touch. The hot tub and indoor fire was lovely and is perfect location to walk in to bowness or down to the lake. Only downside was that some of the facilities in 'The Willows' were only available to 'owners'. Which meant we werent allowed use of the pool table or the on site bar/restaurant one night as it was for owners only. Wasn't too much of an issue but a great weekend overall.

  • "The inside of the lodge was very clean and well presented but the outside was disappointing."

    The decking was covered in leaves, bird poo and was thick with spiders webs. I used the outside brush to clean this up myself and the hose to clean off the bird poo on the steps to the hottub. The outside furniture was also very dirty. I understand leaves will fall and birds will poo but it was clear this was old bird poo and the decking hadn’t been cleaned for a while. I don’t feel for the cost of the lodge that I should have to do so much cleaning myself in order to use the outside space. The instructions to get to the lodge were not very clear and perhaps the “main clubhouse” could just be called the bar/restaurant and it should be emphasised there are 3 roads at the main entrance and the correct one is the far right. We followed the first right with signs for “L” and got lost. The lodge is quite close to the pub and playground but this didn’t cause much noise at night and the close proximity to the lake is also advantageous.

    Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry to hear of the issues you encountered on your arrival with the outside area. We have passed this across to the owner who has extended his apologies. The name of the clubhouse is outside of our control as the onsite facilities are run and owned by Parkdean Resorts. That said, we do hope you enjoyed what Acorn Bank had to offer and managed to explore the Lakes during your stay. Property Owner

    This lodge was dirty, mould in bathrooms, dust on skirting boards. The en-suite smelt of drains. The lodge has a stale smell to it. The hot tub only worked (was too cold as did not get up to temperature) for one of the four nights which is not acceptable and ruined the stay. On two occasions it was not treated right and was foaming. I reported it and still every day we had the same issues.

    Thank you for the valued feedback. The owner has looked into this and could not see any signs of dust or mould. And could not smell damp or mould in the bathroom or lodge. The hot tub water is changed and checked for every arrival and foaming is only caused by washing products on body’s or clothes, which aren’t showered off before going in the hot tub. We do apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. We do hope you will return to the English Lake District. Property Owner

    Lodge was very well equipped, comfortable, clean. Kitchen had everything needed from every cooking utensil you might need to a dishwasher. Central heating worked so well we had to turn it down a little. The hot tub was a lovely addition and taken advantage of. After a day exploring, nothing better than a glass or two in the hot tub. Only downside to the hot tub was the umbrella was broken and as expected the weather in the lakes is changeable. Reported the breakage of the umbrella to the pool man, who came each day to monitor the hot tub and add the necessary chemicals. His response was that he would report it, followed by "but I wouldn't hold your breath." One evening we decided to eat in the sites own pub/restaurant. Unfortunately we are unable to comment on the food, as we stood at the bar to order for 10 minutes being ignored, as customer after customer came to the bar after us and got served. We left and ate at the Hylton restaurant in Bowness, which we can thoroughly recommend. Overall a lovely place to be in a beautiful part of the world, we would definitely stay again but would avoid the on site pub/restaurant.

    Even though the weather was awful, the lodge was lovely and cosy and the hot tub made it all that bit better. Location was wonderful, a 3 minute walk into the centre of windermere from the boat trips etc. Reason for cleanliness rating - it was clean and smelt lovely on arrival but it was quite clear numerous dogs have been, we don’t have a dog ourself so the carpets and the living room pillows had a scent of dog became noticeable ( I didn’t smell the carpets I just noticed it when sat on the living room floor when playing toys with my 4 year old ) but I understand when you rent a dog friendly lodge this is to be expected. We found the double bed quite hard which was not to our preference however overall lovely stay and would definitely return if the prices hadn’t increased - so I will keep my eye out for any drops in prices as I can imagine this would be lovely in the summer ( I understand prices are naturally higher in summer) and would get more use out of the decking. Also our 4 year old had a great time and slept wonderfully in the twin beds, she enjoyed in being right across from the park and the indoor play area.

    Thank you for your valued feedback. We will pass on the comment about cleanliness to our Housekeeping Manager and we note that the bedroom mattress was unfortunately not your preference.

I have 2 small old dogs trained that would of loved to enjoy our family break but despite allowing you to select 2 dogs at booking stage its 1 dog stated in the small print.

    Had to wash the bedding in double room as had marks on it to find the quilt was also the same in-fact had a lot of stains on it. Wardrobe hadn't been cleaned, had to wipe down and surface hadn’t been wiped for a long time was thick in black dirt so refused to use and had to live out of suitcase for the stay. The lodge had a horrible smell in what I can only describe as damp. In the en-suite bathroom they was water all over the floor not sure if it was a leak from the toilet or leak from the sealant in the shower had to put the hand towel given on the floor to soak it up. Lodge overall needs a lot of TLC and have previously read this on a past review so thought these issues would have been sorted. Disappointed in the restaurant didn’t serve breakfast all week waitress said we should have received an email but no email received also one waiter was funny with grand parents about ordering at the bar or waiter serving at the table, the app wouldn’t work on my phone and was told to let staff know however he insisted he looked at it why would we lie about this also couldn’t use my grandads as he is nearly 70 as isn’t up to speed on technology and doesn’t have a smart phone, I understand the rules because of COVID-19 but it is how he was. Previously we stayed at buttermere lodge and we thought we would try this one but we won’t choose it again and was disappointed with site for reasons above, in 2019 we had an overall amazing stay and that’s why we revisited but this time is wasn’t like that even down to the take over of the restaurant.

  • "We arrived at Fallbarrow the day after our wedding as we were staying for a week for 9ur honeymoon."

    It was our first stay at Fallbarrow and was slightly tarred by Boris's lockdown announcements! However the staff at the front desk were more than helpful with all our queries. The lodge was definitely a "Top End" affair with all the bells and whistles, a lovely electric fireplace, skylights and a piping hot hot tub that was nice and secluded due to the elevated decking. Would happily stay again :) What did you enjoy most about your stay? Secluded nature of the Lodge What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? A short walk to Bowness, so everything there!

    Mr Mike FowlerNov 2020

  • "Had a fantastic holiday at Acorn lodge."

    Lodge was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Perfect place for exploring lakes and loved being right beside Windermere. Hot tub was luxurious and hot and ready at all times!!!!! Also was perfect for our dog with wonderful walks all around. Longing to return some day. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The views across Windermere from the camp site and the hot tub. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Loved climbing Catbells with a launch ride from Keswick.

    Mrs Amanda PickeringSep 2020

  • "We had a wonderful time at fallbarrow park, we stay at fallbarrow on a regular basis, but we have not stayed at Acorn Bank Lodge before, we often use to walk past the lodge and comment how nice it is."

    On arrival we noticed how clean and covid safe the lodge was. Very spacious, modern and plenty of storage room, it's clear the lodge is well looked after. The lodge is dog friendly but no trace of any previous dogs staying their. There was a lovely decking area which is on 2 levels, table, chairs and hot tub on top level, so it was very private. The hot tub was a very welcome addition, and very relaxing. We took our 2 small dogs with us and they loved it, decking area was gated and safe, so our dogs couldn't get out. I just want to say thank you for letting us stay at the lodge and we can't wait to return, also what a lovely gesture leaving us a bottle of wine on arrival. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Comfort and location of the lodge What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Magic roundabout and Dr Brew coffee and Blues are well worth a visit.

    Mrs Andrea HeapAug 2020

    Not having to use the car much and just being able to get out and about easily What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Meal at queens head troutbeck. Superb.

    Mrs Catherine JeffersonJul 2020

  • "The lodge is well kitted out and in a great location with everything you need."

    It cannot be faulted in this respect. HOWEVER, the booking time sated I could not arrive until 4pm and it ended up 4:30 by the time we got to the lodge and gain access. Half the day is wasted so by time you unpack etc its a wasted day. The reasons stated were for "deep cleaning" because of coronavirus. I can categorically say that this lodge was not deep cleaned. It did not smell like it had and marks on cups, bedding etc would also suggest it had not. Now I am not normally bothered about things like marks on cups and stuff like that because it has to be lived in and cleaners cannot make everything perfect so its totally fine and acceptable. My grievance is because I effectively lose half a day because I am told it has to be super cleaned because of contamination risks only to find I've been told porky pies (lies) because this was not the case. I also had to request cleaning items as nothing was there like mops, disinfectant, bin bags, standard things essentially. So essentially I would say this: If you expect guests to check in late and leave early then you should really do what you say and deep clean the lodge. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Location and the lodge What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Keswick is a great day

    Mr Carl GibsonFeb 2020

  • "We spent 3 nights at the lodge at the beginning of January."

    The park itself is in a perfect location only minutes away from bowness. The lodge itself is well maintained, has all the necessities needed for cooking etc and keeping the lodge clean. The washing machine was an added bonus that isn't usually found in these types of lodge but with 2 young children on a rainy weekend was essential! The bottle of wine on arrival was a lovely touch. The location if the lodge on the park is good, not too far from the entrance and high up so you can enjoy the hot tub without being overlooked. The umbrella covering the hot tub was a well thought out added extra as it meant we could enjoy it despite the rain. The television is listed as a smart tv but we couldn't get the smart features to work as it wasnt connected to the internet but it had freeview so we could use that instead. Its definitely worth a visit and we would return. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The location and the hot tub. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The Peter rabbit experience in bowness, great for kids.

    Mrs Sarah KnowlesJan 2020

    So does elements of main bedroom. Evidence of damp. Could do with tongs in kitchen. Plus glasses and cutlery were dirty. Dirty mark on sofa and dirty towel hanging on door in second bedroom.

    Mrs Deborah RhodesSep 2019

  • "On arrival at the lodge my first impression was it had a lot of stairs and the decking was in a very poor state."

    The double entrance door was filthy at the bottom and the decking was disgustingly filthy. The hot tub was great but the trees surrounding it desperately need cutting back on a few occasions big branches did fall onto us which was very dangerous considering we had a 3 month old baby and a small dog with us. What did you enjoy most about your stay? We enjoyed the hot tub but the temperature button does not work so it was very hot.

    Mrs Kim ClarkJun 2019

  • "This was the first time we have stayed here, and came to the park after a recommendation."

    We chose the particular lodge as it is elevated and has a hot tub. The location is good, near the reception and bar area, but still quiet and relaxing. It is evident this is a good quality lodge, but is in need of some tidy up in the bathroom and ensuite- nothing off putting, just a little tlc required.

  • "We had a 7 night stay in Acorn lodge."

    Unfortunate with the weather as despite the fact we had a record summer it rained all 7 days we were there!!! That said we still had a lovely holiday and the location of the lodge was perfect. The clubhouse was handy for live sport and keeping the kids entertained and having lake access from the park was great. The lodge was comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The hot tub was HOT and very relaxing - which made up for the weather! The only down side was that we had a leak which went through to the inside of our wardrobe and wet some of our clothes. At first we weren't sure that it was just water as there were some tubs full of liquid on top of the wardrobes, After a couple of days the wet patches were still on out clothes and had not dried at all and so we thought they may have been stained but after getting home the patches have washed out so all is good. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The location What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? For a local walk we enjoyed the scramble up to the top of Gummers How, which the kids loved

Ferry and boat terminal less than ten minutes walk , making day trips , cycling and walking within easy reach enabling us to leave the car behind . Would love to return to this beautiful lodge .

    Mr Carl BullivantSep 2017

  • "We totally loved our stay at Acorn Bank last week."

    The location is one that we have wanted to try for a number of years and we weren't disappointed. Best was that we could walk down to the lake in a minute, and walk into Bowness to wander round. We didn't use the car all weekend! We even went on a couple of lovely walks, one included the car ferry across Windermere which we didn't know existed! The lodge itself was elevated really well (shallow stairs meant you had to concentrate when walking up the stairs, but you soon got used to them!) so you didn't feel overlooked whatsoever, and the views were lovely. The hot tub was the deal clincher for the booking and we weren't disappointed as it was the perfect end to each day with tired feet from all that walking! (the Hot Tub wasn't working when we got there, but we worked it out, and called a very helpful man whose number we got from the lodges manual and even though he didn't look after that lodge any longer he was happy to talk us through it on a Friday evening - great service!). When we arrived it was so nice to have a VERY clean lodge waiting for us, and an extra special touch was the bottle or Prosecco waiting ready with a couple of wine glasses out - thank you! The lodge was immaculate and very well looked after - couldn't fault the cleanliness, and I am picky! Loved it - thank you so much for a fantastic break!

    Mrs Joanne OrwellMar 2017

  • "We had a lovely stay at Acorn bank lodge."

    The lodge itself was spotless and had everything you needed for a self catering break. You are aloud to take dogs to this lodge, we didn't but you wouldn't know any one did it was that clean. This was the only lodge on the park with a hot tub. It was excellent and a fantastic way to relax after nice day out. There was building work going on opposite the lodge that we were told about before we went but this did not spoil our break and didn't even know they were there, the work men we seen were always polite and let on. The location was excelent with just a small walk into town and the bus stop. We went to a few of the local pubs and the food and drinks were very good. The only negative I could give and it would be picking is that the lodge had a lot of steps to get in. It didn't bother us but for an older couple it could be a problem. Overall I would recommend this lodge and we would definitely go back ourselves. Thank you for a lovely stay David and Jen What did you enjoy most about your stay? Location and the hot tub. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Hawkshead brewery was really good

    Mrs Marie BishellFeb 2017

  • "We had a lovely family weekend away in lovely accommodation in the perfect position."

    The only minor drawback was the fact that we had stipulated children with travel cot etc, but the amount of stairs to the lodge were a bit of a nightmare with a pram especially in the dark. Other that that everything was great. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Chilling! What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The Fizzy Tart in Bowness

    Mrs Tina HumeFeb 2017

  • "This was our second stay at Acorn Bank this year."

    Everything was as we remembered; the lodge was clean, tidy and well maintained along with some new bedding and towels. The lodge is in a great location with both Bowness and Windermere Village being accessible on foot, we didn't use the car all weekend. I would definitely recommend the lodge and we shall revisit. The hot tub is lovely to relax in after a day out. The only downside of this visit was that the touring pitches adjacent to the lodge were currently being made into hard standing pitches for lodges and the children's playground was out of action.

    We have stayed at many other lodges but this one has to be the most comfortable. The lodge is always clean and tidy, with good quality fixtures and fittings. The main thing is that all the beds are comfortable, everything works in the kitchen, all the furniture is of a high quality and the location is great. Everything is to a very high standard and I would have no hesitation in recommending this lodge for a great holiday. Unfortunately, due to the terrible weather we were stuck in the lodge for nearly three days, this could have been a problem in the last lodge we stayed in but it just goes to show how great this lodge is that 2 Adults, a teenager and a dog were happy to be stuck indoors together!! What did you enjoy most about your stay? The comfortable lodge. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Brockholes

A couple of minutes stroll from the Lake the lodge is well equipped, comfortable, clean, private and has the bonus of the hot tub. We had perfect weather which made our stay even better and didn't use the car for three days, all amenities were accessible on foot. We would certainly recommend and will be returning in the future.

  • "We have just returned from a long weekend at Acorn Bank Lodge."

    What a fantastic holiday! The booking and arrangements for the lodge once again went smoothly thanks to Lake District Holiday Lodges. I would honestly not consider booking a lodge through anyone else. On arrival ours was one of only a few lodges that had been cleaned and was ready for occupation. The lodge is modern, clean and comfortable - you can tell the owners really care about your experience at their lodge, even down to them leaving recommendations of where to eat and shop locally. The Lodge is well equipped, great tv's, showers and a fantastic hot tub. Best of all for us they accept well behaved dogs. The lodge is situated just across from the restaurant/bar/shop area which is very handy and not noisy at all. Fallbarrow Park is lovely, with a great fenced in dog exercise area and just a few minutes walk from the centre of Bowness. We cannot wait to return in August!!

    And it was head and shoulders above anything we have stayed in before. The lodge was spotless, every amenity you could think of was provided. And the hot tub was just something else. The only thing is if you have little ones, trying to carry the buggy upstairs to the lodge when there asleep is a bit precarious. Bit I'll definitely be back. A big thank you to the owners for allowing is to stay.

The Lodge is situated on a perfect location, close to Windermere. We loved the hot tub and used it on a daily basis. We stayed at Acorn Bank in February, so the park was very quiet, which we liked. I would definitely recommend this lodge to my family and friends. The lodge was dog friendly and when we arrived we could see no evidence that dogs had been staying at the lodge.

    Mr Jordan HendersonFeb 2016

  • "Myself and my husband stayed for 3 nights with our dog."

    The lodge itself was excellent! Beautifully laid out, and in an excellent location. Very clean and comfortable. The hot tub was a bonus, after long days shopping! The lodge was equipped with everything you needed, even dog bowls which we forgot to take! Fallbarrow park was a beautiful site, and only a couple of minutes walk into bowness, with loads of shops and pubs. We stay at the Lake District often and we think this is far the best holiday we have had. So we will be back and are looking to book this lodge again, thank you
