“Issue with toilet not flushing properly but seemed to improve as week went on.”

Very strange noises when flushing. Toaster not working had to hold lever down while using. Could not seem to get bottom oven to work, but could have been us! These issues did not detract from our enjoyment of the lodge as it was brilliant but hopefully can be resolved for other people using the lodge

“The bathroom was full of cobwebs and had no heating.”

For some reason the TV would start on its own when we went to bed so maybe the battery needs changing on the remote.

- Mr Fitzhugh, October 2020

Thank you for your feedback for Hope Lodge. We are disappointed that you experienced some minor issues during your stay, however, if you had reported these to us on your arrival we could have resolved them immediately. We hope you will continue to choose Sykes for your future holidays. Sykes owner relations
Mr Meynell September 2020

“Lovely cottage for hubby’s 60th birthday treat.”

Gorgeous views. Only let down was patio table and chairs which were very rusty and unusable so we could not sit outside and no DVD player. To our consternation the evening before departure at 9.20pm a lady brought a brand new DVD player and patio set. Very upsetting as we were going home next morning. Bistro serves good food and staff are pleasant. They are all trained very well and social distancing is kept up at all times. Despite upset we would go back

“The main issue we had was with the cleanliness at a time when check ins/check outs were extended to allow for extra cleaning?”

The towels/bedding was clean. But Personally I feel the standard of deeper cleanliness at this property was poor. Considering we have a pandemic. The property is aged and this is evident in the smell. We appreciate the Price probably reflects this, especially when you look at properties direct with the site owners. Fantastic view at the property makes up for this in parts.

Mr Carter August 2020

“Great view from the lodge and good location for the lake district.”

- Mr Carter, August 2020
Mrs Billington August 2020

“We visitted Hope cottage last at February half term so knew what to expect.”

The outside of the lodge lets it down as it has still not been cleaned of cobwebs, leaves, bird muck, etc. The outside patio furniture is too rusty to use. The windows have never been cleaned and inside the lodge had not been thoroughly cleaned when a closer look is taken. On the positive side, this could be easily rectified by the owners.Also there is still no DVD player. The lodge has a perfect location on the lakeside with plenty of ducks, swans around and the location was nice and quiet. Pine Lake is ideal location for South and western lakes.

“My girls absolutely love feeding the ducks the site is outstanding.”

“Had a lovely time in the hope lodge we stayed in beautiful surroundings and cosy ...”

Had a lovely time in the hope lodge we stayed in beautiful surroundings and cosy place to stay only one thing to improve our stay would of been a freezer and only a fridge and no ice box there is shop that sells it but other than that it's stunning views across the lake and birds right outside your window would definitely recommend this little gem would love to return again in the near future thankyou

Mr Glover June 2019

“The accommodation is as described and in a lovely location.”

It is a decent size for a family of 4 to comfortably enjoy a weeks holiday. Cleanliness was the primary let down although things such as half of the mugs for coffee having chips around the drinking area, only a fridge (not even a freezer drawer which meant our ice cream went in the bin) and a grill which didn’t work (both ovens did work). If the items were resolved and the place was properly clean I would be happy to go back to Hope Lodge.

- Mr Glover, June 2019

We would like to thank you very much for your feedback. I am happy to confirm that there is a freezer inside the property and new mugs have since been purchased. We look forward to seeing you again. Sykes owner relations

“The lodge was pretty perfect.”

The Resort is wonderful. The staff were all so lovely. We loved it so much that we've just booked to return in July!!! Thank you all so much.

“Perfect getaway”

The lodge is so cosy and has everything you need for a break with family or friends. Located right on the lake and the pool, shop and bar are only a short walk away. Great location to explore the Lake District and the resort is lovely. Would recommend this lodge to anyone wanting a peaceful break.

“A lovely break.”

My partner and I took our two 3-year olds to Hope Lodge for a holiday away. We were amazed to see how beautiful it was. A lovely little cabin right on the lake side and both us and the kiddies had a great time. There is an open kitchen/ longe/ dining space with big french doors that allow us to do the everyday routine of breakfast and dressed while watching loads of ducks, geese and swans! And check out my photo to see the sunset from right outside! The one and only thing I would have wanted more was a freezer compartment, however I have just spoke to the owner to book again and she’s had one installed! I now cannot fault the property! There is a swimming pool and gym on site, mini-gold and a little park for the kiddies. There is also a mini-arcade and indoor play area for the kids. So much to do. In nearby Carnforth there is plenty of shops (Aldi, Tesco and Booths) to pick up the necessaries, and being right on the edge of the lakes the lodge is only a couple of miles away from Lancaster, Keswick, and Windermere. For any keen divers, Capenwray is less than a 5 minute drive. Highly recommended!

Mrs Campbell April 2019

“Spoke to you to on after we arrived, not impressed, front door blind not working, 3 window blind rods missing.”

Washing line in bathroom has no attachment to fit to wall. One and a bit toilet rolls, I think this could be more generous. Also a couple of small guest soaps would be appreciated. Not everyone expects to have to bring these items, kitchen roll would also be appreciated. But after moaning about this, it was an improvement on last year's visits and the selection of tea and coffee

- Mrs Campbell, April 2019

“The positioning is great, love looking out over the lake.”

Nice having the washing machine and dishwasher but didn't use them, would prefer to have a freezer (we have a caravan and have an excellent under counter fridge/freezer). Did have an issue with access to leisure centre as on previous visit we had a card for entry but there was none this time. Leisure centre also closed early (2.30pm) on the Sunday which was really disappointing. I checked at reception who confirmed that facilities were included in our booking, however, staff at leisure centre could find no record of it and were reluctant to let us in. This dampened the experience a little. However, overall a lovely lodge, homely and cosy. This is our second visit and we would return in an instant, in fact kids were in tears leaving!

- Mrs Kearns, February 2019
Mrs Taylor October 2018

“The lodge has had a new kitchen since we were there last but I am staggered that there is no freezer not even a small compartment in the fridge.”

We couldn’t even have some ice in our drink. Apart from that the lodge is in a lovely setting and is very comfortable. Pine Lake itself is beautiful and clean with an excellent restaurant.

- Mrs Taylor, October 2018
Mrs Territt September 2018

“The lodge was in a lovely location, quiet & peaceful.”

Thought the lodge itself could do with a bit of an update, very dark inside and the lighting was poor. Found it so strange, in this day & age, that there was no freezer compartment in the fridge. Must be very difficult for people with children, who maybe can't afford to eat out every night. Think this is something the owner should consider. We would return to Pine Lodge but maybe not that particular lodge. Obviously the Lake District was lovely, amazing scenery and some quaint pretty villages.

- Mrs Territt, September 2018
Mrs Hanson September 2018

“Had a lovely week at Hope Lodge.”

Also the facilities and surroundings of Pine Lake were fantastic. Great base for exploring too. Many thanks.

Mrs Watkinson February 2018

“The lodge was lovely, could possibly do with some updating and better heating for the colder months.”

Especially for people with very young families. Borrowed a heater from reception.

“Home from home with perfect location and great views from the balcony.”

The location was perfect. It had a slightly sheltered aspect, hedged in by shrubs and trees, and was which was great for privacy and it was closer to the water than previous lodges. It was like our own little front garden and the gorgeous view from the balcony made for a very peaceful break. The cabin was very comfortable and cozy; fully equipped with all electrical gadgets and the WiFi was a bonus. Beautiful pool and great leisure facilities, especially the water sports ( which we were content to just watch_ but maybe next time). The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was lovely The Lake, Windermere and Bourness were within easy reach. Altogether, a fantastic, extremely relaxing week. We didn't want to go home and will definite lay be visiting again.

“Amazing time.”

We are currently at Hope Lodge, on our honeymoon. We have had an amazing holiday. The lodge is beautiful, spacious and welcoming. Great facilities, with everything you need. Breakfast on the balcony has been the highlight of our mornings. The site has everything you want. Bar, restaurant, entertainment, water sports and much more. Only a short drive from The Lakes, Morcombe & Blackpool. Walks around here are fantastic. We have had the honeymoon we had wanted and more. Thank you to the lovely owners of Hope Lodge & Pine Lake resort. We would love to stay here again. Love Jamie & Emily.

“Cosy lodge in a perfect location”

Just back from a weekend away at Hope Lodge. The lodge was great value for money that had great views across the lake August bank holiday was chilly in the evening but the lodge had excellent heating so we were toasty warm in the evening watching the sunset over the lake. The free WIFI was also an added bonus. Ideal location great facilities on site would recommend the water sports the kids loved it! Very comfortable and great value for money would definitely recommend for that perfect get away retreat.

“Perfect break”

This lodge was fantastic, it was the most perfect position and so peacefull. Great base to explore the lakes as only 20 mins away. I suggest a trip along Hardknott Pass for the experience! Great veranda to have your dinner on overlooking the lake. Neighbours were very friendly too, gave us some local advice. Very helpfull, even invited us to the owners anual bbq. Will definately be back.

“Very comfortable lodge”

Very comfortable lodge with excellent lake view. The lodge is well equipped for everything you could possibly need. The facilities at pine lakes are also excellent. Very child friendly resort with friendly reception staff. My only criticism would be the tv and stand in the lounge. The tv needs to be higher as you crick your neck looking at it near the floor. It could also be a bit bigger. Everything else is excellent and you want for nothing in terms of household facilities. The balcony could of done with a good sweep as there was lots if cobwebs and dust.

“Pine Lake Lodge”

We booked family holidays in the begining of april, hoping the weather will be warm and we could enjoy the outdoor activities. It was +5 +7 outside, but mainly sunny. Beatiful scenery, our lodge sitated only 1-2m away from the lake. The lodge was very well presented with 2 bedrooms: double and twin beds. Very clean, warm and cosy. Also we went to swimming pool. Kids enjoyed it. At reception you can spend some time in the caffe and there is an entertaining room with games for children. Would come again.

“Amazing”

We rented this property for 3 nights and could not believe how lovely it was. The location was perfect and the property itself was stunning. There was nothing we could fault during our whole time there, apart from the weather. We stayed 10th - 13th March and would defiantly go back during the summer. Great location and great people on site also. The review of the property itself was spot on, couldn't of asked for more. Thank you for a great weekend break!

“Enjoyable!”

The cottage was very well laid out and everthing we needed was there. Nice to have a restuarant so close and the shop was nice to have as we did forget some things. Wished they had Sky TV but otherwise a very nice venue and lovely views and peaceful! Close to all the interesting places to visit as well!

“Peaceful and tranquil”

We had a wonderful time at Hope Lodge. Thoroughly enjoyed the peace and tranquility. It was lovely and clean and everything that you needed was there. The neighbours were really helpful and friendly. (Could have done with a frying pan and a spatula in the kitchen though) but otherwise we would absolutely come again and reccmmend to others. Mrs a Daly

“Excellent location”

My family and I had a wonderful three day break here,couldn't fault the resort or the lodge,which was in a fantastic location right on the lake.Unfortunately the weather wasn't as wonderful,but you expect that in Britain in the summer,and there was plenty to do on site, and the pool and steam room was well used. All in all I would thoroughly recommend pine lakes to anyone who wants quiet location with easy access to the motorway.

About the location

LANCASTER

Morecambe 5 miles; Kendal 21 miles; Windermere 38 miles.

The historic city of Lancaster sits on edge of Morecambe Bay, with the River Lune flowing through its centre. Lancaster retains many excellent examples of handsome Georgian architecture, and with its captivating medieval castle, Ashton Memorial, and four museums, it’s an interesting place for those in search of history and tales of the past. Among the many amenities, there are two venues for live performances, the Lancaster Grand Theatre and the Dukes, as well as open-air concerts held frequently in the pretty Williamson Park during the summer season. The Forest of Bowland and The Arnside & Silverdale Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty provide visitors with lots of opportunities to take in the flora and fauna of the area, with wonderful walking and cycling ways to enjoy. There are also good road and rail links into Cumbria and beyond, meaning Lancaster is a wonderful base for also exploring the Lake District.
