Beech Grove Lodge

Lovely

This is our second time staying at beech grove and we’ll definitely be staying again!

It’s clean, spacious, cosy and in a perfect location! Fallbarrow is also a great place to stay as it’s on the lake with beautiful views and it’s very close to the town centre, would definitely recommend.

Cannot fault this accommodate!

Definitely delivered what it said on the tin!

This was our second Christmas at Beech Grove Lodge and again, it did not disappoint.

It is a home away from home. The location could not be better and the lodge has everything you need - and more - for a truly wonderful week away. We will undoubtedly be booking again soon for our third visit!

Absolutely stunning lodge.

Everything was perfect. The location, cleanliness, comfort, storage etc. We’ve stayed at Fallbarrow for many years and this was the best accommodation we’ve ever had. Would highly recommend and will definitely book again.

Lovely lodge perfect location 5 minute walk into Bowness.

Nothing negative to say in fact we have booked to go again for 5 nights this time instead of 3 !

Overall very clean,we had the twin beds in second bedroom as we were with friends ,although clean and spacious beds weren’t very comfortable,but enjoyed our stay

Nice Lodge in a good location on the park The outside corner seating was very comfortable (in between showers) and the double bed also very comfy.

The kids thought their beds were a little uncomfortable and the toaster seemed to take forever! All in all though very pleased with our stay and the bird food was a nice touch. Would definitely like to stay here again, thank you.

The lodge was clean and tidy and well stocked with everything we needed.

The location was perfect, right on the lake, and a great base to explore from. A short walk from Bowness, which has a great range of shops and restaurants, and also the lake tour. We took advantage of the Choices Health Club which was a nice addition to the usual facilities. All-in, a great first trip to the Lake District.

everything was very good, the lodge had everything needed for a lovely stay in a great area.

The lodge was very clean, (not dust free) but that was not a problem. The outside area would benefit from a little attention but again this did not cause any problems. all in all a lovely lodge provided a good base for a really enjoyable break

The only fault I can come up with, And its not a big one would be the Wi-Fi, fortunately the site Wi-Fi was available albeit a bit more fiddly.

Great holiday would do again. The Site, The Location, all awesome.

A real find for our stay in the Lake District.

I needed a property suitable for my parents and this didn't disappoint. Lovely clean, warm and homely property. Had everything to make our stay comfortable whilst also in a great location. Would certainly book and visit again

Lovely lodge in a great location

the lodge was exactly as listed and very close to all amenities locally which we already knew hence my site selection we had a issue with the water /boiler on arrival , and the owner /site management was amazing within a hour of our call the engineer had been and fixed it and gone just what you need , faults happen in life but the way they dealt with is was 10/10 thankyou if you want a lodge thats spotless clean , close to bowness (walking 4mins) this is a excellent choice thankyou

We had a lovely time staying at Beech Grove and would definitely book again.

Ideal location for visiting Beatrix Potter world if travelling with children (literally a 5 minute walk from the lodge). At first, the lodge was extremely cold and we were arriving with small children. However, had no issues during our stay once we resolved issue - very cosy actually once the heating was on (November stay). Beds very comfortable, bath in main bathroom (ideal again for small children). Coffee machine in kitchen (Dolce Gusto - if you happen to enjoy a good coffee and have the pods - we did not bring any pods). Overall, happy with our stay!

Lovely lodge, very clean and everything you need is there.

Only issue was when we arrived it was freezing. Heating wasn’t on even down low. We had to turn it on and go to pub til it heated up. Was actually warmer outside! But after that it was lovely and warm, Also we didn’t seem to be able to turn off individual radiators as I like a cold bedroom. It was on or off! Enjoyed our stay as always, but the price has increased hugely, so not sure if we will book again . Thank you

The lodge was fabulous thank you, we had a great weekend.

This was our first trip to the lakes, and the beech grove had everything we could have needed.

We enjoyed our stay here and will definitely return in the near future. The lodge was comfortable and clean and located in a private quiet section of the park with entrance/exit being a short walk away to head towards the shops. I would definitely recommend this place if visiting the area.

This is our second stay in the lodge in last two years (stayed 7 nights this time) and find it very home from home, very comfortable and almost everything you need provided for a family of 4 with two small children.

Location is the main reason for our stay near Bowness and the short walk to centre and town is perfect. We hardly used our car for a week which is ideal. The on-site bar, shop and restaurant is good and we visited several times. Best to visit Tesco Express in our opinion as so much better value. We enjoyed the furniture and patio in between rain showers in an ever increasing wet August. Beds were very comfortable and we could tell the lodge had been well maintained since our last visit in Oct 2022 with some small updates. We had to call maintenance on arrival as unfortunately the en-suite shower head handle holder was broken, making it in-usable for the first half of week. Maintenance did call out eventually mid holiday on day 5 and fixed it. This was slightly disappointing that this had not been picked up before our stay. With two small children it would have been great to have a small electric vacuum cleaner as only an old handheld sweep in lodge. We like to keep the lodge clean as we found it so this would help. WiFi would not work for us which was not a major issue as used data. Would have also been great for a bbq option, even if this was a location for one so a disposable could be used. Overall, we returned as a great warm home feeling lodge and fairly good value vs others we have stopped within same park in recent years. We would definitely return again in the future if travelling as a family of 4. Thanks

Having previously stayed at Fallbarrow a number of times direct with Parkdean.

This time we selected Beech Lodge Grove through Sykes Holiday Cottages. The property was clean, tidy and was located in a quiet area of the park. The beds were super comfy including the pillows. Everything we needed in the lodge was provided including fluffy towels. The lodge was a good size for our party of 3 adults only 5 mins walk from the on site shop and pub. I would definitely recommend the lodge and hope to return in the future.

Really enjoyed our stay.

Will definitely return.

A lovely stay very clean and comfortable in a lovely location will definitely come back

No wifi internet access for entire stay and plagued by ants on kitchen worktops and in drawersCutlery and pots and pans washed each time before use because of ant issue.

Sykes team contacted and although maintenance attended unable to solve either issue.No anti scald device in main bathroom for shower. Wooden outside furniture had seen better days and was not used although wicker furniture was nice. Lodge itself as far general cleanliness and location was good except for the insect and wifi issues as already stated.

This is a lovely lodge in a very quiet and flat position on the park .

There is everything you need for a stay and it is beautifully decorated, but I would suggest new pillows for the beds.

We had a great time in your property.

.. Location was great and the cabin/lodge itself, excellent. Spacious, nicely decorated and with all the accessories needed... Having a smart TV integrated into the living/kitchen area is perfect. Bathroom/ensuite clean and bedrooms comfortable! Thank you.

This is one of the best lodges we have stayed in on Fallbarrow.

I really felt at home and we had a lovely time. 2 downsides were 1, the lodge was ice cold when we arrived, and 2 the single beds were so uncomfortable we couldn’t sleep in them. Thankfully there was a spare sheet and a sofa bed, without this we wouldn’t have been able to sleep at all. We would stay in this lodge again but only if the mattresses were replaced

Beech Grove was a lovely, comfortable, spotless lodge.

Plenty room for 4 adults. Good size bedrooms with plenty storage. Not too far from the park entrance and a short walk to shops & resteraunts. We would definitely stay here again.

We had the most wonderful break at Beech Grove lodge.

The property was spotless upon arrival and we had all the amenities needed in order to make it a stress-free family Christmas. The location couldn’t be any better; we thoroughly enjoyed a Christmas Day walk to the lake (which is within strolling distance) and then a visit to the Peter Rabbit exhibition on Boxing Day. Our 2 year old had the best time and loved every minute. We would highly recommend stopping here and we hope to book again soon!

Beautiful facility.

It was a holiday for a Ukrainian family I am hosting and I wanted them to experience the tranquility of the lakes after the trauma they experienced in Ukraine. It was perfect. Slight problem obtaining WiFi password but quickly and efficiently resolved by help desk. We loved it, especially Zlata who loved feeding the ducks but not so much the geese.

Excellent lodge perfect location very clean and tidy.

Could do with a full length mirror

The lodge is in a very quiet peaceful part of fallbarrow Park but only a short stroll to the water , park shop and 5min to the town , It is clean, very comfortable and very well equipped , we have booked accommodation in the past direct from the parkdean resort and the level of cleanliness does not match the standards from sykes cottages , Having booked accommodation from sykes cottages before we had no worries booking again and will do again in the future .

My only gripe is the WiFi is absolutely useless , I don't know if there is an option to pay for a better faster service, if there is it would be helpful to publish instructions on the website for the lodge

The property could have been cleaner.

The shower has dirt/mould around the edges. The fridge smelt. Lots of crumbs down the insides of the sofas. A broken glass in the cupboard and door shelve in the fridge broken. We did have a pleasant stay and it was in an ideal location for us to get around. Beds very comfortable.

Great lodge stayed in a few park owned homes and Beech Grove felt like a home

Lovely stay at Beech Grove Lodge, nice quiet location on the park and brilliantly located for Bowness which is a very short walk away.

We had everything we needed and enjoyed our time there especially sitting out on the deck, the rattan sofa was very comfortable. Lodge well equipped and clean. Would definitely recommend. A couple of minor things that need addressing (although they didn't affect our stay), the DVD player is not connected so we couldn't use it (I think it is a new TV so not set up anymore), the shelves in the fridge door are slightly broken and so we were dubious to use them to hold milk in case they broke completely, the code for the barrier is wrong in the welcome email so we couldn't get on the park straight away when we arrived. However, these are minor and we had a lovely stay and will almost certainly come back again.

The property felt really homely and comfortable.

The kitchen was really well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The outside space was amazing. We had a great stay thank you!

Lovely lodge in a good position.

I found the twin bed a bit too firm for me but double bed is very comfortable. Well equipped kitchen and good shower. 2nd stay for us and we would definitely stay again.

Lovely spacious and clean lodge.

Towels provided was a bonus. All kitchen utensils are plentiful. Comfy sofa and beds. 2 bathrooms is very handy too. We arrived at 3.30pm and it was ready as per instructions. The use of the leisure facility (swimming pool and gym) is really nice addition - offsite but only 5 mins in the car. The only thing that could have been improved for our stay was the the freezer desperately needs defrosting. We could barely open the door is was so stuck with ice. Eventually this will impact the temperate of the fridge too. The decking glass was quite green and could do with a bit if clean now the weathers nice. Also the barrier code is not correct as per email we were sent had to buzz to get in. Didn’t effect our stay and would definitely return. Lovely lodge.

We travel to fallbarrow every year for the great north swim.

This is the 8th property we have stayed on. We stayed in glade 16 last year. Overall the property had the potential to be lovely. The beds were extremely comfortable and the washing facilities good. Just a couple of things that wouldn’t let me book this property again. The milk tray in the fridge fell off as soon as I opened the fridge door. There was a dirty sanitary towel in the bin of the bathroom in the en suite and finally the two dogs in glade 8 barked continuously from morning til night. They woke both my children up every morning. Other than that the stay was pleasant but as I said I wouldn’t stay again in this property.

What a delightful property, so clean and comfortable and very peaceful too.

Just a couple of little issues, why put a bird feeder right next to the seating area, as the seats where always full of bird poo and debris, I love wildlife too but not over your head. Fridge freezer, the freezer door won't close properly so over freezing and couldn't open the drawers. Apart from this it was lovely

The barrier code given out is months out of date had to get new code from parkdeans reception.

There is no wi fi called fallbarrow to log into had no wi fi either . There is black mold around shower base in main bedroom. The pots and pan are old and done in property wouldn't use them . The main problem is the bed is it done and need replaced mattress topper been used on top of it my partner struggled to get a good sleep because of a hole/ hallow at her side off the bed

The boilerwasnt working when we got there.

We got it going but clearly the cleaners had not noticed and cleaned in cold water The lights weren't working when we went to bed in the main bedroom and bathroom . We phoned in the morning and somebody was soon out to sort it. There was a horrible smell of sewage in the main bathroom but not in en suite. The decking and patio furniture was dirty and I think it should have been cleaned for us to use. However overall we were happy with the lodge and would use it again.

Had an amazing holiday in Feb at Beech grove.

Nearly everything was as described, with just a couple things different as i have mentioned below. Cleanliness was optimum, very happy about that. We were 3 people staying and apace was ample. Overall location of the property also ideal as this was our first windermere holiday and we loved how well linked the location was to all places we wanted to visit. Just about bbq, listing advised that bbq slab would be provided and we should get portable bbqs, which we did. However, instead of a slab, a fully functional gas grill was provided on the patio, which was a pleasant surprise and a great help ofc. But had we known this earlier, we'd have arranged supplies accordingly. Also, bulbs on the patio need fixing as mentioned in some previous reviews too, esp ones near the grill as had to use our torch to do BBQ. But these are small things for an overall very well maintained property, would definitely recommend

Had a lovely time, everything seemed to work, a few lights need bulbs replacing, the heating worked well and it was -3c outside, so well pleased

The lodge is well looked after with everything that you need also very clean But the sofas are outdated very uncomfortable with the base cushions moving and away from the backing This makes the sofa very very uncomfortable this problem has been noted on other reviews the sofas must/need to be replaced

Outstanding .

. Absolutely beautiful very comfortable and clean home from home was perfect .. Will definitely be back next year .. The most wonderful Christmas holidays short break away .. Wish you all a Happy Christmas and a Happy new year x

amazing lodge and location was perfect ,spotlessly clean ,the lodge was perfect as i took my elderly parents so no steep hills to climb, we hope to be back next year many thanks .

We have stayed at this park on several occasions and Beech Grove lodge met our expectations during a busy half term family break in the Lakes.

The lodge is well situated on the park, quite close to the main reception area which was ideal for the kids who don’t always want to walk miles! Considering it’s position in the middle of Glade area, it doesn’t feel overlooked with good surrounding trees and bushes. Decking area was lovely, surrounded by a glass surround which created a nice private sitting area. Shame the weather didn’t allow for the bbq which was also present during our stay. Parking was great, enough for 2 cars. The lodge inside was cosy, didn’t feel outdated vs newer style lodges we have stayed in and was very clean, great showers and facilities. Bed was very comfortable in main room, the second bedroom with single beds was a good size for kids. Heating was almost not needed as lodge was well warm and had hive installed. Nice electric fire as well. We read about sofa not being comfortable and we did have the issue with the main sofa (also a sofa bed) cushions sliding off, but the kids actually seem to find this funny. We couldn’t get the Wi-Fi working with TV for streaming so had to do with good old normal TV for the stay once the kids slept. Not a big issue. The park is a great location for Bowness and we walked in each day which took 5 mins, great if you fancy a takeaway on the evenings. The main bar / restaurant on site was busier as half term than normal but seemed heavily understaffed which resulted in some decent waits at bar for drinks & food. Same prices as restaurants in town so no real benefit we felt to stay on park. We would definitely return to the park and lodge.

Lovely, well equipped lodge in a good position.

Short walk into Bowness. There's a couple of squeaky doors and the water from the bathroom sink tap doesn't flow straight down. All would be easy to fix and didn't cause much of a problem. Would love to stay there again.

Family of four, we had a great week in Beech Grove Lodge on Fallbarrow park.

The lodge is in a great location on the park. Convenient for the main facilities but nice and quiet there as well. The park was very close to Bowness which made strolling in to town very easy and the waterfront area and view was stunning. The lodge was of a good standard, clean and well equipped, and we particularly enjoyed the outside seating area which was both very comfortable and private. As others have said, the main sofa was a bit of a challenge to sit on due to the sliding cushions but nothing a couple of non slip pads couldn’t remedy. Very much recommended.

Fabulous lodge .

Absolutely spotless . Lovely big bedrooms . Great location on the park and very private patio which was spacious

Okay lodge in nice part of the park.

All nice and clean and beds were very comfortable and shower good and powerful. As mentioned in previous reviews settee was uncomfortable and cushions get sliding forward making you nearly slide off chair. Disappointed that there wasn't a welcome pack on arrival so couldn't even make a cuppa after the long journey, a little thing which would have made a big difference.

Was really hot while we were there definitely could have done with a fan, everything else was brilliant really enjoyed our stay and we have booked for next June

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your Lodge.

It was super comfortable and spacious and very clean. The decking was very useful for the kids esp and the setting for the Lodge felt safe for our 2 kids age 4 and 6. A bath sheet and small towel would be useful in the Main bedroom for the adults as we found bigger towel provided was too small

The property is set in an ideal low position in fallbarrow on arrival it was warm and clean and had everything you need for your holiday , the double bed is very comfortable , a couple of minor things could be improved the 2 seater sofa in front of the tv seat cushions keep sliding forward causing you to slide off the sofa "very annoying " the living room tv needs to be updated there aren't many tv channels I always bring my firestick and an external hard drive but there was no usb port or spare 240v socket ,a hoover would of made tidying more easy than a carpet sweeper.

I've been staying at fallbarrow for 20yrs in lodges this definitely is one of the best and made our holiday very comfortable 5*

We stayed for four nights over a Feb half Term.

The park is in an amazing location, just a short stroll to everything Bowness on Windermere has to offer. The cabin was lovely, very comfortable and modern. It was exceptionally clean too. Both bathrooms were lovely and modern. We had trouble adjusting the temperature of the en-suite shower which was permanently too hot so we started to use the shower over bath instead. It wasn’t a big deal for us. The beds were very comfortable and we all had a good nights sleep. The kitchen was very well kitted out with everything we needed during our stay. A few cushions on the sofa would have been appreciated though! All in all great break away - we would definitely return in the future.

Very comfortable lodge in a super location.

Warm for those winder nights and very close to all amenties in Boweness and good walking trails.

We were absolutely delighted at our stay.

This was a special break, being our honeymoon and David and Jackie went above and beyond! Would highly recommend & we can’t wait to return! Great property, beautiful location, easily accessible and simply perfect! Thanks to David for helping us arrange the most relaxing honeymoon. It was everything we wanted and more!

We stayed 5-8 November.

The property perfect for us as we had 92 year old parent with us so needed one level. Spotlessly clean and the beds were very comfortable. Ideal for short walks into Bowness or drive out into the Lakes. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful settings on the Park which is situated in a great location.

The lodge was better that expected it is in a great location on the park is very clean, comfortable and well maintained. I would definitely stay there again. Your booking service is easy to use and I would definitely book through you again and I will be recommending your company and Beech Grove Lodge to family and friends.

Really nice accommodation, great location so close to all amenities and Bowness centre, in a few minutes of walking.

The interior was extremely clean and inviting, all rooms a very good size, kitchen well equipped. I marked ‘cleanliness’ down a mark purely on the exterior porch area which had not been cleaned therefore, we did this ourselves. 15 minutes closer attention would’ve prevented this comment. We were blessed with amazing weather and was very hot, so much so, we struggled to sleep, the provision of a couple cheap fans would have prevented some discomfort and this is why I marked ‘comfort’ down a mark. The beds were however, very comfy, the bathrooms and showers excellent. The location felt secure and safe, the driveway was off road, ideal for hiding away our mountain bikes. It’s easy to focus on the negatives, they were minor in comparison to everything else which was perfect. I’d definitely recommend and be back. 9/10

Lovely lodge for exploring the Lake District, has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Very happy with the stay, fantastic location.

Lost power for a few hours but this was quickly resolved. We will likely come back again.

A very clean and comfortable lodge.

Only two minor gripes, the WiFi is almost non existent and the outside decking area needs cleaning and made a bit more user friendly.

Great place to stay

I would highly recommend staying at beach grove lodge, it was a great experience and a lovely place to stay. Plenty of bars and restaurants to visit great for the night life, ideal for couples and family outings as there are lovely places to walk and view the lake side views. Everyone is really welcoming and we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely be visiting again. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The atmosphere at the lodge What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Experience the walks

very enjoyable

Had a fabulous time, weather was hot and sunny when we arrived. The location of the lodge was great, only a short walk into town. Been many times before and this visit was as good as previous visits, will be back hopefully in October. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The location being so close to the town and the lake What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Any one of the river cruises

Fantastic short stay

First time in the Lake District, perfect cabin, much bigger than expected and the bed was an absolute DREAM, especially when returning from long walks. Would highly recommend, perfectly situated as well, short walk from all the amenities and places you've likely booked to eat / drink What did you enjoy most about your stay? The bed What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The 14km walk up and along Hellvellyn, from Swirls car park by Thirlmere - we got the last proper spot at 10:30am, so go earlier!

Short Break

Excellent location and good standard accommodation but comparing the lodge with previous experiences elsewhere not ' Prestige ' as advertised. The major disappointment was the condition of the outdoor space, very wore and tired and had obviously not been recently cleaned. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Location What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Lake Cruise
