Langdale Lodge Reviews

Joanne
What a lovely cosy & comfortable lodge and in a good position on the park. Tucked away in the corner and short walk to the pub ! Very clean & welcoming. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped with all that you will need. We had the weather on our side as well so enjoyed walks down to the lake. Also enjoyed the added bonus of the hot tub. The only little niggle and is only a very little niggle was the shower in the main bathroom was only luke warm. Did not impact our stay at all as we all used the ensuite shower. Cant wait to book again.
Jessie
Absolutely loved everything about our stay at Langdale Lodge 21. The lodge was exactly as described, if not better. Sofas and beds very comfy, lodge very warm and cozy and hot tub a real treat after a long day of hiking. As someone who loves to cook, I also found the kitchen to be so well equipped and a great large space. We can't wait to come back next year! Thanks
Pamela
The lodge was amazing so beautiful and the prosecco was a such a lovely touch. Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay again.
Lovely lodge. Spotless and very warm Xmas tree was a welcome touch. Slightly small bedrooms and not a lot of storage for 4 ladies !! Would def book again Well equipped kitchen with all you need. Lovely and airy Would highly recommend
Gaynor
Lovely lodge with really good hot tub! WiFi was also great. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here the lodge is modern, clean and well maintained. The bottle of prosecco was a nice gesture that made us feel welcome.
Elizabeth
Lovely lodge, really enjoyed our stay
Viviane
For a start it is very difficult to contact Sykes cottage customer service, there is no email contact on the website, and only an automated phone line. Only managed to get an answer by using Facebook I was being charged extra for no reason! When I booked I had no idea this was a Dean Park resort, which I wouldn't have booked if I knew! As soon as the full payment was made, a full list of instruction and restriction was forwarded to me! That was before I even got there. Ie Wifi advertised but then being told it's only enough to read emails.... When we arrived, in the freezing lodge, the lodge next to ours was having work done and our relaxing holiday started with banging and drilling noises ! But It's in the T&Cs .... so no compensation! There was little instructions in the lodge, the fridge wasn't closing but after a call to maintenance I was told to remove the big bottles. If they knew about it, why not put in a note? The lodge was spacious and clean just not very private which is deceiving on the pictures.
Christopher
Excellent lodge perfect site. Great family holiday
Wow absolutely lovely lodge, on arrival there was a bottle of bubbly
Jackie
We had an amazing week in this beautiful lodge,I always worry on my way to a holiday about cleanliness but when we walked in this made my day the lodge was extremely clean and had everything in that was needed for the week we were staying. The location is really good where the lodge is situated so we could relax in hotub with nobody walking past loved every minute thank you
Lorraine

Dorothy
Beautiful Lodge, has everything needed for a wonderful holiday. The only issue we had was that the highchair had not been cleaned and the strapping was still very dirty after several attempts to clean it. For hygiene reasons we felt it was unusable and so we had to purchase a baby seat. However the Lodge and Park were fabulous.
What a beautiful lodge, clean, spacious and everything you need. We had an amazing time. Would definitely recommend.
Danika
Beautiful lodge, maintenance came to clean hottub everyday, spotless inside with a lovely bottle of Prosecco left. Only downfall beds were a little small but apart from that lovely stay and definitely thinking of returning.
As returning guests we found the lodge to be perfect for us as a family of 6 and 2 dogs , the only improvement that I would like to see would be more coat hooks facilities for hanging bags and dressing gowns etc in the bathrooms and bedrooms, there is plenty of general storage space but no coat hooks .
Lovely stay in The Lakes. Lodge great location midway between Ambleside and Windermere. Situated on Lake Windermere with frequent bus services adjacent to the Park. The lodge was located at the end of a non through road which made its position ideal. Side terrace also faced the sun Lodge was large and well equipped thank you. Also a welcome bottle of fizz got the break started well. Table and chairs externally with cushions. Also liked the planters on the terrace which made it feel homely. Whilst the lodge was clean a few areas hadnt been cleaned wind ledges, crumps on chairs and under breakfast counter. Only minor and caused no issues. Also radiator thermostat broken which we reported. Hot tub was checked twice daily and very enjoyable. Would recommend and visit again. Pictures on website did reflect lodge inside. Thank you Nigel
Sharon
This lodge is perfect in every way and the owners have thought of everything to make your stay feel special. We will defo be booking again.
The lodge was spotless and spacious. It was well equipped and had everything we needed. Parking for 2 cars and the hot tub was fab. We had the pleasure of 9 inch of snow during our stay and the lodge was perfect so cosy! Walked into bowness around 3 mile although there is a bus outside. This wasnt running due to the snow! We did have trouble with the hot water being temperamental boiler pressure seemed off. Also the tv remote think this needs new batteries. Other than this a 100010 stay thank you so much and thanks for the finishing touches with the Christmas tree etc!!
Olivia
Was exactly like the pictures, clean and everything provided for. Hot tub worked perfectly and was checked every day by maintenance. We couldnt get the boiler working at first so we flagged down one of the maintenance men and they came and sorted it in 5 minutes. Nice and quiet holiday park, theres a shop on site and a bar, restaurant etc. Would definitely come here again and recommend for families, couples, or friends
Nicola
Absolutely lovely place, well equipped and very comfortable. There was a bit of a dog smell none of us has dogs so it was probably more noticeable to us than other people and we found a dog toy down the back of the couch we have left it there wouldn't put us off going again though.
Lorraine
Beautiful lodge in quiet spot hot tub was lovely would definitely return
The cabin was gorgeous, really spacious and had all of the amenities you would need for a comfortable holiday.

Suzanne
Excellent site, good facilities.
I raised two issues with the maintenance team namely sink in main bathroom draining when plug was down and dvd not working reported this on the Wednesday no one turned up for the whole stay.
Patricia
We spent three days in the lodge and it was just perfect, apart from the weather! The Lodge is very clean, well laid out, spacious, well equipped and nicely furnished. We would definitely rent again.
Great property that Id definitely book again. The lodge was really clean and tidy and looked as good if not better than the pictures, often you arrive to find the pictures are from some time ago but this was not the case. We took supplies with us but it was really useful to have things like hand soap and washing up liquid available. The bedrooms are compact as they are in all the lodges but there was plenty of wardrobe space so great for clothes and storing bags et. The lodge is at the end of a cul de sac with parking for two cars and is easy to find and a two minute walk back to the restaurant and bar. We used to App to order food and drink and it was a little slow to be delivered but not as bad as some have said. Theres also a couple of playgrounds for the kids.
We have been travelling here for 7 years. Our usual lodge was not available so we chose this one. Everything was lovely and clean, great location to Clubhouse. Lots of issues on site due to the cold weather and pipes freezing but we experienced none of these. Lodge was lovely and warm and nicely decorated for Christmas.. Bedrooms are quite small but adequate. Not a lot of storage. We would def stay here again. There is still not enough staff in the Clubhouse, which is the same every year. The hours changed on our last day so we could not get breakfast. This should have been communicated to guests. Will be booking again for next year. Thanks
Andrew
Location fantastic, hot tub maintenance service great. Lodge wasnt very clean, fridge is broken it doesnt cool to temperature so some food was ruined. No WiFi working or phone signal, this is the sites WiFi so not in the lodges control where other lodges have their own, I think it shouldnt be advertised with WiFi when its not their own you use. If this makes sense No site WiFi has been going on for months apparently. Needs darker curtains in main bedroom. Site really good, location perfect.
cheryl
Absolutely amazing. .. Loved everything and will certainly be back.. Thank you x
Jacqui
Really lovely stay. Attention to detail in the property was thoughtful and impressive.
Bedrooms were very small A 10. 00 check out with a demand to clean and prepare the property means the stay is very short and SUnday morning is an early start This does not represent value for money
We all had a lovely stay thank you x
Alessandro
The lodge was very nice and in a good location which offered more privacy compared to others around. the WiFi was not available inside the lodge and also mobile reception was very poor, which was quite frustrating. One thing I would highly recommend for these kind of properties is installing an instant hot water tap like the Voca Fresh. I have one of these at home and I think it would be super suitable for this accommodation. We had to go and fetch bottled water a few times which was quite frustrating and also the kettle was running nonstop with six of us. I think you should check Voca Fresh out, you can thank me later
Yes definitely you both need feedback, particularly the owners. Reason for visit Daughter, husband, 2 grandchildren, my husband and myself celebrating my husbands birthday. 1. Advertised as a new lodge 2020. Bearing in mind Lockdown, we expected this lodge to be immaculate. The owners have provided everything and beyond so extremely pleased re. there side. Initial first walk in, wow what a lovely lodge. However the carpets throughout the lodge were extremely badly stained and the cleaning standard very poor which personally I feel not acceptable and completely let the lodge down. Skirting boards, backs of toilets, Venetian blinds and inside showers not acceptable. A tissue and a makeup brush under two beds from previous customers. I have taken photographs if needed. Towels, bedding, bath mats all excellent. 2. The fridgefreezer is a great size, unfortunately the freezer was so iced up you couldnt open 2 of the drawers. I ended up using a knife to hack off the ice to allow to open. The fridge was definitely not getting to temperature too warm. 3. Oven needs a good clean, although I have seen worse. 4. Pedal bin did have a bin liner in but had not been cleaned out underneath and smelt terrible with bits of garbage stuck to the bottom. 5. Hot and cold water temperature varies very hotcold in shower be mindful with little ones. Kettle used constantly for hot water in the kitchen as very little hot available. 6. The lodge is advertised as having wiif NO Wifi whatsoever therefore NO access to Netflix etc 7. Trees to one side of the lodge need cutting back extremely dark on 2 bedrooms. The lodge is in a lovely quite, private location. 8. The hot tub was fantastic and the decking very clean! 9. The general site facilities were not used by us apart from the swimming pool and outdoor play area with our grandchildren 5 and 7. Unfortunately everyone was called out of the pool at the same time and the changing rooms were absolutely chaotic not enough cubicles or areas to dry. Mum and dads with babies had no where to sort themselves, we all ended trying to get dressed on the very wet floor on top of each other, parents were complaining to each other say how ridiculous it was calling everyone out at the same time. In future we would realise to get out 15 mins before the end of the swimming session. The toilets need checking far more frequently, dirty, wet through and no toilet paper. 10. The grounds and woodland walk beautiful and the site is in a excellent location. 11. SO, we feel the lodge should be advertised in more detail what it provides. We personally took far too many kitchen items with us when in fact the owner had thought and provided absolutely everything! Overall for 2300 for one week we would expect better cleanliness and wifi. Having said all that we did enjoy our holiday.
Overall a very enjoyable holiday however a few little niggles no wifi at all ... Overall a very enjoyable holiday however a few little niggles no wifi at all despite reporting to reception and very poor telephone signal, when we consider our holidays we have to consider our responsibilities and internet use is part of that, had we have known we would not have booked this lodge also the water pressure was very poor, we had two couples and two teenage girls so ensured we had two bathrooms the pressure was so bad we could only use one at a time, in fact we couldn't even use the kitchen tap while someone was in the shower again we ensured we had two bathrooms as we knew our needs but may as well have booked one the majority of our holiday was away from the lodge so we had a great time, the lodge however was not as advertised
Langdale Lodge is beautifully presented in a wonderful location. It is very welcoming with everything you need for a relaxed holiday. This was our second visit and we look forward to our next holiday there. Many thanks.
