Mr Farrington
September 2020

“Lovely lodge, very relaxing, dog friendly, very comfortable, would like to go again, great view of the lake.”

the only thing i would change, is the collection of the barrier key, it would be better if you could collect it from reception, and then go to your lodge.

“Bedrooms smaller than expected luckily we were only a couple with small dog but think it would be a bit cramped as a family twin beds very small .”

..also near main road so a lot of noice in the mornings woken about 7 most days ...lodge in good location lots of good walks round the area good for the dog

- Mrs Dixon, October 2020

Thank you for your feedback. Sorry to hear you found the bedrooms small, the lodges are all of a standard size and the beds are a standard double bed and the twin beds are normal size single beds. The drive outside the property is the access road through the leisure village. Hope you still enjoyed your stay. Sykes owner relations
Mr Lane October 2020

“Went for this break because onsite fishing is advertised on this unit we hired , upon arriving unless you actually are in a property that is lakeside you cannot fish this lake , took all my tackle for a fishing break and hence could not fish it.”

because parts of the lake that doesnt have units situated on it is not accesable very dissapointed

Mrs Rogerson August 2020

“Great location, easy access to Morecombe, Blackpool and the lakes so much to do.”

The park was ideal for families and dog friendly beautiful lake to walk round and quiet not to noisy.

Mr Charlton August 2020

“43 Gressingham was exactly what we needed for a short break, clean enough with most essentials available, I had read a bad review about the decking area, I can assure others that this is fully repaired and safe for children and pets, would definitely return again in future.”

- Mr Charlton, August 2020
Mr Seed July 2020

“We received an email from Sykes advising check in would be 5PM not 3PM to allow for additional cleaning due to Covid.”

However on arrival, 2 hours later than planned and with the first day of our break all but gone, the lodge smelled musty, there were cobwebs at the windows, stains on the duvet covers and grease splatters on the wall above the hob. A large section of decking railing had come away and was anchored with a garden table and some rope. The overall impression was that the lodge was grubby and neglected. We emailed Sykes immediately and the next morning someone from the site came round to take photos. We heard nothing for the remainder of our week-long stay and nothing since. Pretty poor to be honest.

Mrs Hewes August 2019

“Lovely quiet place but was only allowed access to the lake at one place because the other was overgrown and you couldn’t get close to the water.”

The lodge is in need of some TLC weeds grown through the decking area up to knee height so had to pull them out and I had to wipe all in side the windows with feather duster as there was cobwebs over the catchers and glass, I also had to vacuum as there was dead flies all on the floor and clumps of hair, I had to do this before we unpacked.

- Mrs Hewes, August 2019

Many thanks for bringing the issues you our attention as the lodge has been booked out to guests continually this year, it has been difficult to get there to keep on top of any issues.These have now all been sorted with the lodge having a fresh coat of stain, Â any weeds that were underneath the decking the handful have been removed and a membrane placed underneath the decking and finally the cleaner has now been replaced with another company. Many thanks in advance Sykes owner relations

“The patio doors have dropped and need to be fixed.”

On a hot day I had to push shut from the outside. Not great. The TV’s in the bedrooms are far too high up. Not good for anyone with neck problems. It was a great base and would return. It was also great being able to bring my dog, she loved it. Especially watching all the rabbits.

Mrs Mcgowan July 2019

“We had a great week away at the lodge very comfortable and clean .”

The staff at the main reception were very helpful and also the bar staff Not realy anything to do at the site but drove to different towns in and around the area . We found a wee bar/resturant just 5 min away from the site famous for canal boats docking at the pub .food excellent . Would definately recommend this site to anyone needing to recharge their batteries .

Mrs Hirst June 2019

“A lovely, extremely well equipped lodge in a beautiful quiet location.”

The only thing I would suggest for future visitors is the addition of egg cups, not really a problem but that's the only thing we missed.

- Mrs Hirst, June 2019
Mr Fowler June 2019

“We visited the same cabin last year and it was very clean.”

This year unfortunately there were coffee stains on the living room floor and large clumps of long black dog hair rolling around. (Our dogs have light coloured and do not cast) Behind tables had paper and hairs. The exterior was a bit tired and the paint is peeling off of the woodwork. Plant pots full of weeds too. Bathroom light was not working and the kitchen tap constantly dropped. The other cabins looked well kept and the grounds of the leisure village were lovely.

- Mr Fowler, June 2019
Mr Hall May 2019

“Very relaxing and enjoyed base location to explore local towns & cities.”

wifi fantastic and weather was a bonus to sit on balcony in peace with no kids or other people due to being out of season !

- Mr Hall, May 2019
Mr Tolley May 2019

“As a keen angler I made an effort to take all my tackle only to find that fishing the lake was impossible.”

To gain access to the water was mostly restricted, and where it wasn’t it was shallow and weedy .I suggest you remove fishing from your activities on site
