  • "Beautiful lodge."

    The boiler needs attention which i reported before I went home. On your site it says open 7 days a week .I phoned Sunday and no reply.Maintainence from park came out but couldn't fix as not allowed to dismantle .We had no hot water or heating two mornings.Managed to reboot it but kept going off. It would not stop me coming again.needs fixing though.

  • "We had a lovely stay at 5 Waterside Wood."

    The lodge was much more spacious than I expected and there was plenty of room for 4 adults and 1 toddler. The beds were comfy and there was enough space (just) in the twin room to fit a travel cot. The kitchen was well equipped and bathrooms good. The lodge is in a great location both within the holiday park itself and the park is only a short drive to Ambleside and Bowness. The only issues we had were that the hot water stopped working one evening, however my husband was able to fix it, and on arrival at 3pm, the cleaner was still there as there seemed to be a miscommunication about check in time. These issues didn’t massively impact our stay and we would be happy to return.

    Hi Amy, I’m so sorry that you had an issue with the hot water and the Lodge not being ready for you at 3 pm. Our old boiler packed up around Christmas time last year and we had a new one fitted in January. I’m really glad your husband managed to fix the issue. I have had it checked over by both the maintenance team and also the guy who fitted the boiler and I’m assured it’s now working to full capacity. Thank you very much for the kind review and I’m really glad you enjoyed your stay. We would love to host you again. Property Owner

  • "The lodge was lovely, modern, clean and well equipped."

    The only issue we had was the heating was not working our initial arrival. We initially thought this was possibly just due to the lodge being empty for a period of time therefore we believed we’d set the heating to come on and went to the park club house for dinner and evening entertainment whilst the lodge heated up. On arrival back later that evening the heating hadn’t come on therefore it was still very cold. I called and left a voicemail on the Sykes maintenance number however as it was already well into the evening and with children staying in the lodge I communicated the heating issue with the parkdene reception who quickly deployed maintenance staff who rectified quite quickly by bleeding all the radiators. This heating issue was resolved quickly but took a little while for the lodge to heat up after being cold for so long and the inclement weather at the time. There were no further issues during our stay until the morning of check out when there was no hot water for showers. We washed up using hot water from the kettle. All in all our stay was nice, however there was a couple inconveniences which impacted on our short duration stay. We would stay here again as long as the heating and hot water are resolved.

    Hi Lynne, I am so sorry about the issues you had regarding the heating and hot water. We had a brand-new boiler fitted in January. It appears as though there have been some teething problems with it. Both maintenance and the boiler fitter have now checked and double checked the full heating system and I am assured that it has been resolved. I’m glad you still enjoyed your stay and we would love to host you again Property Owner

    Even though there was a fault with the boiler it was dealt with immediately. Would definitely book this again.
