"When we arrived at the lodge everything looked nice clean but the dishwasher was full of previous family pots smart tvs would only work on terrestrial tv no netflix or prime or I player the hot tub was great but overall the lodge was good clean comfortable shower a bit small but otherwise it was good driveway a bit dangerous if your not experienced driver parkdean not helpful at all ."
Thank you for your feedback and, as discussed on the phone, we really appreciate you taking the time to share it. Apologies about the dishwasher—everything had to be freshly cleaned after the previous stay, and with the short turnaround it meant the cycle was still finishing when you arrived.
The Wi-Fi is Parkdean’s rather than the lodge’s, so it can be hit and miss—hopefully it encouraged a bit more time outdoors! The driveway should usually fit two cars, though we’ll keep an eye on feedback there.
We’re glad you enjoyed the hot tub and found the lodge clean and comfortable, and we’d be delighted to welcome you back again.

"An Amazing Lodge in a Superb Location,
The Lodge was very homely, spotlessly clean, kitchen was fully equipped everything that you would need for a stay away."
Lodge was in a secluded part of the park surrounded by nature, it was lovely to sit on the balcony. We fed the birds what a list came to feed (even the Woodpecker and a Deer came to visit) & rabbits. Even we got to hear the Owl hooting away. The hot tub was fabulous to sit & relax.
Just a suggestion for next year a wooden gazebo over the hot tub to protect from the overhanging tree.
A wonderful stay didn’t want to leave, would highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, we’re really glad you enjoyed your stay, especially the peaceful setting and all the amazing wildlife!
We’ve actually had a wooden gazebo over the hot tub before, but due to updated regulations, built structures aren’t currently allowed. We’re now looking into a large umbrella as an alternative, so we really appreciate the suggestion.
We’d love to welcome you back again soon!

"Esk Pike 9 - Best lodge we have stayed in, for the peace and tranquility, lovely woodland setting."
Lodge lovely and clean and modern, beds comfortable. The only problem was when showering, the water was very slow to drain away we had to wait 15 mins before the next person could use it. We would go back and we will recommend to our friends.
Thank you so much for your kind words—what a compliment to hear Esk Pike is the best lodge you’ve stayed in for peace and tranquillity! We’re so pleased you enjoyed the woodland setting, found everything clean and modern, and slept comfortably.
We’re really sorry about the shower drainage issue. It’s something we’ve become aware of recently, and it’s completely our fault for not letting you know ahead of your stay. We’ve now identified the cause and are actively working on a solution to prevent this happening again.
We’d be absolutely delighted to welcome you back in the future and are so grateful for your recommendation to friends—it means a lot!

"WiFi didn’t work at all which was frustrating."
There could have been more towels, for example there was no towel in the bathroom. There were only two dishwasher tablets for a 3 night stay etc. There was some medication left in the bedroom from a previous occupant.
But it was lovely and clean, well equipped kitchen, and beds very comfy. Location was great, and felt very secluded being surrounded by trees.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re really sorry to hear about the issues you encountered during your stay—particularly the missing towels, which should have been provided, and the medication left behind. That’s certainly not the standard we aim for.
Regarding the dishwasher tablets, we include a small number as part of a complimentary welcome pack to help get guests started—though we completely understand if this wasn’t clear at the time.
As for the WiFi, we totally understand the frustration. Just to explain, the WiFi is provided by the park itself rather than the lodge, so unfortunately it’s not something we have direct control over—but we know how important it is, and we’re continuing to raise this with them.
That said, we’re really glad you found the lodge clean, well-equipped, with comfy beds and a peaceful, secluded setting. We’d love to welcome you back again and truly appreciate your balanced and helpful review.

"Great lodge in such a lovely location on the park."
The lodge was immaculate on arrival. When you are in the hot tub you feel as if you are in the middle of a secluded forest surrounded by nature. Daily visits from a woodpecker, rabbit and ducks plus you could sometimes here an owl hooting away on an evening. For anyone looking for a relaxing getaway this is the perfect setting.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and wildlife, it truly sounds like you experienced the magic of the location. We’re especially glad the lodge met your expectations and that the hot tub offered such a serene escape. We hope to welcome you back for another relaxing getaway soon!

"What a lovely cabin, refurbished to a great standard, beds very comfortable."
Kitchen is well equipped, iron included, but there is no hairdryer. The hot-tub is great after a day walking to rest those legs. Lovely to sit out in the sun as well to have a coffee on the decking, or on the swing. It was a lovely feel looking out to the trees and watching the birds.. We fed the birds and what a list came to feed, highlight being a great spotted woodpecker. Apart from the birds there was no noise. The TV was digital so we often just watched a film on the evenings. Overall a lovely stay and would
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a lovely stay and enjoyed the peaceful surroundings, the hot tub, and the lodge. It’s great to know the birds kept you entertained - spotting a woodpecker must have been a real highlight!
