Lakeside View

We visited Lakeside View 7th August for a week and bumped into the owners in the local pub.

They are lovely people and was always available to answer questions and came to treat the hottl tub a few times. There is anything you could need during your stay and fully equipped kitchen. Beds very comfortable and everything was clean and comfortable. The surrounding area is peaceful and quiet. There is one pub close by that opens at 4:30 during the week and 12pm on the weekend. The nearest small shop is a 10 minute drive and supermarket is 20 minute. Shopping can be delivered using an app as well. Overall we are very happy with our holiday, thank you.

Loved the location.

Sitting room and kitchen good. Bathroom just needed new boarder for bath and towel rail cleaning plus toilet roll holder. Towels were a bit sad. Perhaps a picture in main bedroom. Siver blinds were dirty in kitchen and bathroom. Perhaps blinds on bedroom windows to make it more private.

Over all a fab stay in a lovely property.

Minor details noticed but did not affect our stay at all. A few kitchen items needed a quick wash and a couple of kitchen items could do with replacing but really didn't cause us issue. The presentation of the lodge with soft furnishings etc was very nice, comfortable and cosy. It was evident there was thought to detail through out. Hot tub was great and the outside space had everything needed for warm weather (we visited Dec/Jan) The owner was very friendly and helpful. Thanks for our lovely break.

Wonderful quiet property with lakeside view.

Hot tub was an excellent touch and in great condition/very clean. Bedding, throws and towels provided were clean and comfortable. Outside furniture to bask in the sunshine is lovely. Large lounge area with smart TV. The property in general was not very clean however with things like air vents and blinds very dusty/grimy. There was confetti scattered about the carpets in the property I'm assuming from a previous guest. I wiped the kitchen sides down when we arrived as we have a baby and the wipes came up dirty. Property needs some general maintenance like new bathroom seals. The property is difficult to find and the instructions given and very poor. It should say to drive round to Abbey Lakes Close where the Premier Water Ski School entrance is (which is signposted). Overall unfortunately we would not recommend or stay here again due to the cleanliness.

Thank you to the lodge owners for a lovely stay, everything we needed was there and there is a lot to do locally so it was a fabulous holiday.

This was a lovely lodge, with good facilities and good to see that things like Sharp knife, salt pepper, etc was already there.

The hot tub was an asset too.good WiFi. But bedding and towels all clean and smelling fresh.

A lovely tranquil place to relax and soak in the hot tub

We had a fabulous week at lakeside view, yes I know the weather was exceptional (wall to wall sunshine ) but it was made perfect by the lovely lodge and its surroundings.

We had lots of places to visit and sites to see but we loved sitting on the decking with a glass of wine and utilizing the gorgeous hot tub. We met the owner Emma who came bearing gifts yep a brand new air fryer (who can live without them these days?) Emma was absolutely lovely a perfect host. We will definitely be back. Best wishes always Sue, Les and Tristan x

Cleanliness is something you can improve.

No one came to do any checks on the Hot tub during our stay something you'd likely see elsewhere we've stayed

We had a lovely stay last week in Lakeside View and the weather couldn't have been any better for the time of year.

The lodge is very comfortable and well equipped. The only real downside was the lack of ovenware. I had to buy a Pyrex dish to use in the oven as I do enjoy cooking even when on holiday, but not a deal breaker. The hot tub was amazing and we got lots of use out of it. Emma, the owner, was easy to get hold of and responded to all communication. Would go back and stay again in a heartbeat.

We had a lovely weeks' stay here in February.

The lodge was spotlessly clean and we loved the hot tub. It is quite remote and so beautifully peaceful - nearest shop is about a 16 minute drive away into Kings Lynn. Only small snags were there was no potato masher (generally sparse kitchenware-wise) and the oven takes ages to cook anything. Lots of extras provided by the owner like towels, cleaning products etc., and some essentials left in the cupboard if you turn up before doing a shop. I would definitely recommend this place, we had such a nice relaxing week and we will definitely be back!

Our only thing was that the beds were a little uncomfortable but that is also a little personal preference.

We had a great stay, the premises were very clean and provided everything we needed.

Really enjoyed the hot tub. The single beds not really suitable for adults, so I slept on bed-settee. Some local tourist information would’ve been useful. There were only 3 dinner plates Great value for money, thank you

lakeside appears a little 'tired' and needs some upkeep.

kitchen sparse, gas cooker unreliable (cooking takes much longer than usual). beautifully peaceful! no bars, shops nearby, so take everything with you. loved the hot tub which was clean, and hot!!!

Great location very peaceful at night lovely walks short drives to main attractions

This was a lovely well maintained property in an extremely peaceful location (literally not a sound at night).

There was enough to keep the children occupied although some were a bit of a drive. Emma the owner was great at letting us know what was going on during an area power cut on the first night and topped up the hot tub without having to be asked half way through the week. The guy in charge of the Ski School Greg was very helpful and accommodating to fit in my girls for a fast tow on an inflatable which they loved. Shame they don’t do other watersports there as it would be perfect. All in all a good place to stay !

The caravan was clean and well maintained.

There was a shortage of cooking equipment e.g. no frying pan, no grill pan and no oven dishes. The previous occupants had not washed the crockery and cutlery, but this is not the owners responsibility and is merely an observation as every item had to be washed before use. The owner was extremely friendly and quickly dealt with a broken vacuum cleaner. As the weather was not good we spent much of our time in the caravan and found it very comfortable.

Me and my wife stayed here for 7 days it was nice and peaceful, nothing to do here but it is great if you want peace and quiet the jets make you jump when you first hear them we went to diffrent places their is a bar/cafe down the road nice friendly people or if you want a pub/restraunt go to the carpenters arms further down the road .

the water skies are entertaining plenty of birds to watch or listen to cuckoo and woodpecker if you quiet the deer sneaks about and watch you hot tub is nice and relaxing if you use What 3 words = dusters.barstool.shrimps this will take you to the gateway of the site then its on your left

The property was lovely’ very clean very comfortable, and the hot tub is a very welcome addition, my mum and I had a lovely break x

Lovely weekend away, everything was perfect.

The accommodation suited us perfectly.

Very comfortable and had everything we needed. Thank you for repairing the toilet so quickly. It was very much appreciated. We all enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you.

We had a lovely time staying here, the property was spacious and clean.

With a hot tub. The first day we were there the gas actually ran out mid shower, and whilst we were cooking, which was a complete nightmare! After some time we realised what it was and my partner managed to figure out how to change the gas bottle. We did report this and the next day had spoken to the owner who was very apologetic. They also came out to check everything was working properly and also check the hot tub. It was nice having a lake on the front door, However their facilities are quite run down and in need of a refurb! The weather unfortunately wasn’t that kind to us which was disappointing as apart from walks and the scenery, there isn’t much to do there. The nearest shop is an 18 minute drive away. Overall we had a nice stay, it was a quiet and peaceful location, it was really nice to chill and unwind. Thank you

Absolutely lovely stay - a little difficult to find as no sat nav seems to recognise it.

Absolutely silent at night, and lovely to be watching the jet skis during the day. Nearest shop is about 15 minutes drive but very limited in supply - supermarket is kings lynn so a bit of a trek. Pub is available up the road. jacuzzi and privacy shade (that was not really needed!) and gazebo cover essentially made the jacuzzi all-weather, which was a spectacular experience. supplied goods include all the essentials (washing up liquid, saucepans, frying pan, bleach, shower cleaner, etc, etc, etc). Only request would have been for a hoover as there was some dirt we couldn't clean otherwise! now i know where it is, it is easy to get back to, and will definitely want to be returning.

Fantastic stay, thank you

Great stay over Christmas, we would love to stay again during the Summer to use the lake :-)

Lovely lodge overlooking a large lake.

Very peaceful to stay, the lodge and hot tub made the stay more inviting. Not a great deal on the site, but lovely countryside walks around the area. Ideal to visit the many places in North Norfolk. Probably a lot busier in the Summer when there is water ski ing on the adjacent lake. Although their facilities look old and worn. A nice club house, although small felt a bit like an old cricket club. They did have a singer on the Saturday night but we did not attend even though we could hear in the distance but it was not a problem. Would recommend to someone who wants a nice quiet break and to be in that area to visit Norfolk. Fishing is on site but you have to walk around to another lake. Nice approachable owners.

Lovely stay .

. had everything u could think of. Hot tub was lovely. Very peaceful and relaxing break !!!

We were a family of 6 had the best stay, it had everything you could need and more.

Hot tub was perfect and the people on the site were so friendly. Would go back.

We loved staying there it’s exactly what we wanted and needed!

Emma is lovely lady and very friendly ! Thank you for this x

Lovely peaceful setting.

Friendly owner who corrected a fault very quickly when informed.

We had a lovely time, thank you and the addition of the hot tub made it even more relaxing.

Lovely clean, comfortable and well-equipped holiday home, with a lovely welcome visit from the owner at the beginning of our week, to answer any queries/show us how to use the hot tub. Nice friendly bar on site and good to see a few people out enjoying water skiing/kayaking on the lake, which is just feet from the front patio/deck area.

Had a really good few days here, perfect for our reason for visiting this part of Norfolk to visit relations and a bit of site seeing.

Emma was all you would expect from a holiday home owner there when needed but left to enjoy perfect. Thank you Emma. *****

The property had ants, even on the work surfaces, and the owner admitted she had put ant powder on the work surfaces.

Ants on food preparation surfaces? Absolutely not acceptable. Needless to say, although booked for 3 nights, we did not stay at all but came straight home. The owner refuses to give any compensation and Sykes have been no help at all, even having the cheek to offer us £40 off a future booking. We shall not be taking this up.

The host was charming.

Peaceful and tranquil location. Very comfortable, clean and well equipped lodge.

We had a perfect break.

Our accommodation was pristine, everything was provided, bed very comfy, a real home from home. The hot tub was a wonderful addition, very much needed after a busy day. The location was beautiful, with fab lake views and very quiet. We really could not fault anything! Thank you so much.

We had a wonderful stay, in luxurious accommodation.

We were lucky enough to see a shooting star through the roof window in the property. We found it perfectly suited to our needs.

This was a lovely place to stay right on the lake.

It is peaceful and tranquil- off the ‘beaten track’ but within easy reach of Kings Lynn and a bit further afield places such as Hunstanton, Wells-by-the-sea etc. This property is near the entrance gate but not at all noisy. We used this as a base to visit family so didn’t venture further into the site so can’t comment on any of the facilities mentioned. The owner was really friendly and helpful and the property is tastefully furnished with everything you need. There was plenty of crockery, utensils, cleaning materials, and a nice clean cooker and microwave. Plenty of bedding and towels and a full length mirror in the main bedroom (something often sadly lacking in a lot of the properties we have previously stayed in). There is an internet TV and DVD player too. I’d suggest bringing a few essentials food and drink-wise as there isn’t a shop close by (at least not that we found). We would definitely return!

Very pleasant 4 day break in this well presented chalet/lodge .

Very clean lovely bedding and plenty of towels. Cleaning materials provided Directions to property needs updating no access from main Pentney lakes entrance on common rd need to carry on down rd take a left turn into Abbey rd and follow signs to water ski lake and go in where it says Abbey close .Property first on left.

wonderful owners had a great stey

Best ever cottage holiday experience we have had.

great location.

lovely and peaceful even with the water skiers. It was a very nice site with a lot of friendly people. The only problem we found was the size of the bed. With being disabled we both found it to low and to small . but apart from that every thing was perfect. to sit on the balcony with the sun shining was just perfect.

The area has a lot to see and do.

The lodge itself was very clean and comfortable. The owner was lovely, very helpful and friendly. We would definitely return and recommend to others.
