  • "Nuisance having to walk to/from property for the barrier fob, over-powering smell of plug-ins etc, all unplugged!"

    Needs updating, but the worst complaint was how uncomfy the indoor furniture was, the sofa & chair in lounge was terrible, too low when sat on them, had to put pillows & cushions on them to try & get comfy, also dining table & chairs need replacing, did read a few reviews pointing out how uncomfy furniture was from a couple of yrs ago but not been replaced!

    Hi Thanks for your response. This is the first complaint of lounge chairs which were all replaced 2 years ago. We all have different comforts, but take on board your complaint although no one else has complained. Table chairs being replaced in the new year. We put plug ins in so it feels homely and to create a welcoming ambience. The key fob…. ? When out for the day I do hope you took the keys and fob with you? There would only be one occasion where you would have to walk to lodge and back to car and that would be to check in. Bookings through SLLV keys and fobs would be picked up from reception. Sykes bookings are all independent owners and have their own check ins, which would be the same as our check in system. this is to keep owners property safe and more positively easier for check ins if customers arrive late. Unfortunately this system cannot be changed. I do hope however that you had a pleasant break at SLLV and enjoyed the peace and tranquility of its surroundings and ease of access to local attractions Owner - Angela / Gordon Property Owner

    Everything you need is provided. The only issue is having to walk quite a way down to the lodge to get the fob to open the barrier, people with mobility issues would struggle.

    Luckily we had the weather on our side which made for an even better holiday. There was plenty to do in the lodge, games, books, Netflix which was an added bonus. The park itself is beautiful, also peaceful. We had a great week and would recommend The Cedars to anyone. Thank you!

    Good spot with easy access to both the lakes and Blackpool area. Only downside not the easiest place to find in the dark 1st time and the door is round the side when you arrive and are looking for the key safe but that's minor given its a cracking place to stay!

  • "Excellent stay here at The Cedars."

    Home from Home and the lodge was perfect for our family of four and our dog. Facilities on site were fab too. Only thing was as we arrived when it was dark, it was difficult to find the lodge and reception wasn’t open, so if you will be arriving late on, contact the owner in advance in regards to finding the lodge/accessing the keys for the car park barrier. We managed to sort it but the lodges look very similar in the dark so could be tricky!

    Thank you for your feedback. So glad you had a good time. Property Owner

    I brought far too much stuff with me, normally they are very sparse but this one had everything and more. Also a big surprise that it was decorated for Xmas! That was so lovely (we brought a small Xmas tree just in case) the owners checked on us to see we were warm enough and that we had everything we needed. Very clean and spacious, Netflix for those rainy days and lots of board games too. We will definitely be going back.

    Really clean, cosy & comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped & stocked with lots of useful things. The Wi-Fi worked well and we were able to access Netflix. The leaflets box was a good addition for ideas for the local area. The lodge is a well located as a base - we went as far as Alton Towers. The beds were comfy. The bathroom was spacious and the shower had a decent water pressure. The site itself is well maintained. It was quiet when we were there; the restaurant didn’t actually open until our last day but that wasn’t a problem. We didn’t use the leisure facilities on site. Would definitely stay again and would recommend the lodge.

  • "Lovely little lodge with some lovely homely touches."

    However, was disappointed to find that the place was filthy! In this time of covid, with later check in to allow extra time for cleaning, this place was disgusting. The tiles at the back of the cooker were splatted with fat (presumably from the last guests) the extractor fan looked like it had never been cleaned, under the beds was the last guest’s (or even previous to them) rubbish, which included a used face mask, general rubbish and a used tissue/baby wipe. The place was so filthy we felt we had to leave before the scheduled end of our stay. On stripping the beds before we left (as instructed) there was an awful brown stain on the (washable) mattress topper with brown drip marks next to it. There was black mould around the edge of the bath…. I could go on. On putting in a complaint, the owners of the lodge offered 15% off our next stay there and a free 3 day pass to the swimming pool. Why would we choose to go back there? The owners were not willing to offer anything else and quite frankly, Sykes have let us down too. Have used them many times before but will NOT be using Sykes again.

    Thanks for your feedback, and complaints have been actioned! 1.) Beds have been hoovered underneath - this was an oversight due to guests arriving early. 2.) splattered fat on tiles, yes it's self catering and guests are asked to leave in the same state as found. The tiles are now all clean and we are going to get a glass Perspex so it's easier to clean for guest. 3.) the mould in the bathroom ( picture sent into Sykes ) - took a quick 3 second wipe. 4.) stain on mattress topper - yes no excuse and for this we offered 15% if you booked again which was worth £120 & £56 for 3 day pass was £176.00 which you declined! We are very sorry that you thought the place was filthy but having spoke to our neighbours you left on Thursday, so up until that time before stripping the beds the lodge must have been ok. I don't know what you were expecting as a refund but I believe I acted fairly and sorry if this spoilt your holiday. We did however find a stain on the bed linen and we don't know if it was from your stay or the stay before due to us being very busy and not getting feedback till a week later. Sykes is a respectable company but they were also acting on behalf. It's a shame you won't be coming back again. It's in a fantastic location and the base is excellent for exploring our Lake District. Property Owner

You have the lakes on your doorstep no more than 30 minutes to Windermere and the beautiful landscape around Silverdale and Arnside are a similar drive. Handy for the M6 so easy to get to and from the site itself has plenty of options from a restaurant and coffee shop as well as a fully equipped gym. I would highly recommend this to anyone

  • "The lodge itself was warm, cozy and very homely, with all the little finishings."

    The site was well maintained and looked the part however the fishing was not practical as there were no pegs other than those at the lakeside lodges, the swimming was over priced at £20 for a family of 4 for only an hour swim. The site accros the road was not finished and resembles a building site so not suitable to take kids over for fishing. Site would benefit from a play area and little shop for those forgotten milk moments. Bar was welcoming but again over priced for what it was. Would of liked to return to the lodge but feel the site let it down.

    top of cooker and fridge. also very little storage for our clothes .they had requested we hoover any dog hair but the hoovers filter had not been cleaned for a long time and the smell was awful. we were asked before we arrived if we would like the single beds zipped together thankfully it was not done as we would have found it very difficult to get in and out of bed

    1.) unfortunately with the lodge being privately owned and rented through Sykes, this is the only option to gain access to the lodge to collect keys and barrier fob. Booking through site owners are considerably more in cost. This information on gaining access is on the booking information. 2.) apologies in not doing a final check on cleaning. With owners both working and cleaning, we had little time to change over, and must of missed this check of our list. 3.) The cleaning of filter will be implemented now at every clean. The lodge is very popular and consistently booked out. This is not on our checklist but will be added. 4.) The size of the second room is smaller but does house with ease 2 single beds. We have had no issues with other customers. The beds together makes a king size which given the size of the room fits in with ample room to get in and out of bed. Property Owner

The Cedars is wonderful wooden lodge situated on a holiday park in Warton, Lancashire.

Inside the owner has created a smart retreat, with a marvellous open-plan interior, which gives the property an eclectic and charming feel that makes it very memorable and homely.

The lounge area has a comfortable sofa and armchair, where you can relax and unwind after a long day sightseeing.

Down the hall are two bedrooms: one double and one twin, with a separate bathroom, with the choice of a bath or shower over.

The bedrooms have lovely bedside tables and lamps, ideal for some late night reading and large windows giving lots of natural night and views across the surrounding lodges in the park.

To the front of the property is a small decking area with a table and chairs provided, a lovely spot to sit out of an early morning and enjoy a nice cup of tea.

You will be spoilt for choice with the on-site leisure facilities which include an indoor swimming pool and gym, as well as a bar and restaurant.

Local attractions include Leighton Hall, a country house and stately home which dates back to the 13th century and is a Grade II listed building.

Hutton Roof Crags is a 900-foot hill which features a nature reserve and woodland, as well as a large area of limestone pavement.

There is so much to see in this area, you don't want to miss it!
