“A really lovely place to say, the lodge is so homely and comfortable.”

Friends of our stayed in one of the Park Dean lodges and paid £500 more and their place was not a patch on this lovely lodge.

“Whilst Parkdean Resorts appear to be cramming in as many units as they can on this site, this Lodge, remains in a semi isolated wooded area, where it was quite easy to forget you had any neighbours at all.”

The owner went above and beyond, supplying a loaf of fresh bread in the bread bin, a pint of milk in the fridge, and a pack of biscuits on the table for us to walk into. They provided towels for each guest, and even supplied liquid soap in the toilet, and by the sink, together with washing up liquid. The furniture in the Living Room, was a three piece suite, as you would expect in your own home, instead of rock hard bench seating fixed around the walls. The bed was the most comfortable bed I've ever experienced in a holiday accommodation, without doubt. We would seriously book this accommodation again without question.

“Let’s start with the positives as there are lots of them.”

The position of the lodge is perfect not only on the site close to all amenities but also for accessing the wider area. The lodge itself was very clean and comfortable especially the bed. Everything you need is provided you will want for nothing. Really nice touch leaving some bread biscuits and milk for your arrival. Just one or two things could have made the lodge better and that is some comfortable seating outside. Whilst there is seating is is very uncomfortable after a while and it would have been nice to sit outside longer in the afternoon sun. A place to put a disposal BBQ would have been good as well all it needs is 3/4 house bricks and a small paving slab. Overall a very enjoyable stay and would recommend.

“The cottage was well equipt and the cleaniness was good.”

However it would have been good to have better furniture on the decking as it ony had a bench which was uncomfortable to sit on in light of the hot weather. The restaurant food was not up to parr. We went on the first day and my lunch was not good. My ham and eggs, ham dry and the eggs were hard. Chips were good. My husband ciabatta was over cooked and it would have been good with a little salad. This has not put us goign with Sykes in the future would want a higher spec

“Lovely little lodge in a great location for exploring the Lakes.”

Clean, tidy with all essentials (inc. bread and milk on arrival! Thanks). Felt the £15 park pass was excessive as only able to swim once during the week due to the park being so busy. Plus you have to pay extra for activities. Although I appreciate this is down to the holiday park. Opposite side of the park from the Lake and Marina which is a good 5-10 minute walk. Also television is free view as opposed to basic sky as advertised.

“Lovely log cabin - very well equipped and sparkling clean.”

Had a very enjoyable holiday.

“The Lodge was as stated but we were surprised that they went above and beyond to make you feel welcome.”

There was a bowl outside the door for the dogs, bread, milk and chocolate biscuits in the lodge for us. Unfortunately we went when we had the little beast from the east and got snowed in. The only down fall was not enough areas for the dogs to go and some dog owners did not clean up after them.

“Lovely cozy cabin.”

Heated up real quick,just what you need after a day of walking.its situated in a very nice park with lots of other cabins. Although plenty of cabins and people the site was very quiet. The cabin had everything we needed and more.highly recommended.

“The whole experience was great from start to finish.”

Many of the pubs in the area are pet friendly and the site is great for that too only drawback was the pub on site didn't allow pets in which meant we could go there as a group it would be nice for this to happen even if timings where restricted to certain times during the day

Everything good, only reason we wouldn’t come back to this location is because it was on a holiday park , and we didn’t use facilities , would prefer a cottage with a small garden for dog, none of this being your fault

“We loved our stay at lake winds lodge.”

Nice and cosy and some nice touches upon our arrival uncut loaf, pint of milk etc, very thoughtful. I was concerned about us being warm enough but even with the sub zero temps the heating took no time at all to get the place cosy after our long walks. Very clean tidy and well though out, would definitely stay again.

“Loved our stay at Lake Winds Lodge, so much so we wished we would have booked to finish the week off.”

The site itself is lovely and clean and quiet. The lodge was cosy and warm and an ideal home for our Christmas break, we really enjoyed it. The owners left us mince pies, crackers, amongst other home comforts to make us feel welcome & there were Christmas lights up for a very festive feel. Thoroughly enjoyed our time at Lakewinds Lodge and will look to book again in the future. Thank you

“We went for a New Years break.”

On arrival where told we couldn’t use the bar and restaurant on New Year’s Eve due to the fact it was ticket only and they had sold out. Very disappointed and this should have been highlighted to us by the owners or Sykes. Accommodation nice and clean with everything required. Nice extras bread, milk, mince pies. It did smell terribly of dogs, with air freshers that were really strong and didn’t cover the smell. Would suggest wooden floors.
