  • "The lodge was well equipped with everything you could possibly need."

    A fantastic location and very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The clothes rail dryer was broken and the toaster blew the electrics but apart from that all seemed to work well. We found the fuse switch easily enough with the instructions in the lodge.

  • "Great location and facilities but overgrown with tree's so little sunshine got through."

    Decking and fencing could do with clearing and repainting.

  • "Had a lovely break but lodge really needs a good spring clean."

    When we arrived it didn't look as if it had been hoovered, it became apparent why when I tried to hoover up and the hoover had no suction at all. Under beds and sofas as well as main areas. Makes all the difference to a guests stay and if they return again.

    Decking urgently needs pressure wash and hot jets come loose when operating. Minor cleaning issues inside property.

    Fantastically equipped kitchen. Lovely decking with hot tub. BBQ. Quality linen and towels. Can’t fault the lodge at all. On site entertainment was lacking this time around and we arrived later in the year than last year. But lovely comfortable place to stay

  • "The cottage could do with a good spring clean."

    There weren't enough forks and spoons and there was no information about anything - could have done with some information about how to work the hot tub, TVs, how to leave the lodge, bins and recycling etc and some info about the site - just a simple folder would have helped. The cottage itself was a great place to stay for a week and great location to visit lots of places in the Lake District.

  • "Really lovely lodge in a nice quiet setting with decking and hot tub."

    We had a very comfortable 4 night stay exploring the local area and relaxing in the lodge. Hot tub was brilliant in the evenings. Very nice layout and open plan area. Hot tub maintenance guy visited twice a day which meant the water chemicals were checked and maintained perfectly. Walking distance to Brockhole which was very handy and loads of activities there for all ages, kids loved kayaking. Only slight downside was our kids found the single mattresses a bit uncomfortable, possibly a mattress topper would make a huge difference.

  • "We had a pleasant stay at Claife view lodge, however, there were a few area's which were disappointing."

    There were cobwebs on the ceilings in most rooms. The main bathroom was dirty looking with black mold around the edges of the bath. The decking and hot tub are definitely in need of some attention or upgrade. All in all for paying £1500 for a week I would expect the lodge and outdoor areas including the hot tub (and cover) to be pristine. Definitely not value for money.

    Boiler was leaking a bit but I think you knew about that as there was a bucket on top of towels on the bottom of the cupboard to catch the water. That didn't spoil the stay in anyway. Would recommend to anyone

    Thank you. We are having a persistent issue with the boiler. It has been attended too again recently but is proving challenging !! Property Owner

  • "It was very disappointing the you state that you can have a Park facilities pass for £15 per cabin, and then when we arrived they charged us almost £10 per adult and wanted nearly £7 per child."

    They had changed their pricing after we had booked and would not accept our booking agreement, very disappointing customer experience. On top of that, it was not worth the price we ended up paying. On a positive note, the cabin was everything we expected, enjoyed by all of the party, the only negative would be that the beds could be more comfortable.

    Looked like it hadn’t been clean for 3 months which is just lazy as there was cleaning stuff supplied at the lodge to clean it. There was also a build up of old used disposable bbq’s left there in bin bags, but this wasn’t a fault of yourselves, I will only book holidays through Sykes and have recommended yous to family, we’re already browsing the site for another get away

  • "Claife View Lodge - Ambleside 77 We stayed here for a weeks holiday in November 2018."

    This was booked through Sykes Cottages as the lodge is privately owned. On arrival the lodge was freezing cold, the heating had not been on for days and it would have been nice and welcoming, to arrive to a warm lodge especially this time of year. The lodge did not appear to be very clean. The basics were fine; clean bedding, clean toilet and shower, and main floor areas ok. We moved the coffee table to make more space for our little baby and noticed the rug was quite stained and the part of the rug under the coffee table had not been hoovered for a while! We attempted to hoover ourselves but the hoover was pretty useless. The bathroom door handle was broken and we reported this 2 days after our arrival, and it was finally repaired the day before we went home. There wasn’t much storage in the kitchen as the cupboards were all full of kitchen equipment (not sure it was all necessary!) so we stored stuff on top of the kitchen cupboards only to discover it was thick of dust and very greasy. We noticed that the extractor fan wasn’t even connected to anything. Skirting boards were grubby especially near kitchen bin, so we cleaned this ourselves. (Who wants to clean while they are on holiday?!) There was lots of dirt and old sweets etc under both sofas. The shower screen leaked everytime you used the shower and the grout/sealant was mouldy in places. We found a hairball on top of bathroom cabinet and hairs/dust behind bathroom door. We found food smears on inside of curtains in living room, and inside of windows were covered in fingerprints. Decking area could do with a jet wash after the summer. We reported these issues to Sykes Cottages when informing them of the broken door handle. The cleaning team did visit the following day and cleaned the floors, removed hairs from behind door and left fresh towels but did not action the other issues. However, it did make us feel a little more comfortable about staying there the rest of our holiday. We had an ok holiday, the site is nice, clubhouse is canny, and the site is in a great location. However, this lodge needs a deep clean and a bit of TLC asap! Hopefully no one else will feel the way we felt while staying there, or have to do their own cleaning whilst on holiday, and that the owners of this lodge have dealt with all the issues we informed them of! Lastly, the third bedroom is quite small, with no cupboard space and is definetly a bedroom for children. I don’t think the lodge is really suitable for 6 adults.

  • "We arrived at white cross bay after the designated check in time, but still had to wait over an hour to access our accomadation as cleaners were still busy."

    This was not acceptable as we had a tired toddler in our party. When we did get in to our lodge we found it wasn’t cleaned to a very good standard, cobwebs in the bedrooms, and under sofas had not been vacuumed, as were still dirty. Also there was six of us in our party, so we expected enough towels for us all, however this was not the case as there were no towels left in master bedroom, this was very disappointing, we asked at reception for extra towels but were told that they did not provide any linen for our lodge, so we had to go out and buy towels, this was very inconvenient. Beds in one of the twin rooms were very uncomfortable and the sheet provided on one bed was awful and not a proper sheet. We have booked with Sykes before and were pleased with our accomatation, but were disappointed this time so will think twice before booking again, especially for the price we paid.
