“A beautiful lodge in a great location.”
Everything you would need for a comfortable home from home stay. Lake with the ducks that visited every morning lunch and tea time sn absolute delight.
Great communication from owner.
Bonus was, there was a washing machine which was unexpected as not in the lodge description.
The lodge would benefit I think from a hairdryer.
A couple of minor negatives were, no bin liner in kitchen bin, 1 bath sheet the other towels were 2 hand towels and a bath towel which was quite small, the BBQ on passing by had a slight greasy odour which we got used to, none of the above spoiled our stay. Would highly recommend to family and friends and will definitely be booking another visit. Great location close to the lakes we visited Bowness on Windermere stunning place. We didn't use facilities on site but the pool looked nice and clean and the bar/ restaurant inviting would visit next time.
Thank you so much for your overall positive review. Our policy is to provide 1 bathsheet, 2 bath towels and two hand towels per adult couple. I’m sorry you did not find this adequate. I don’t understand why the bins did not have liners in them and spare liners left. This is our general practice. I will speak to our housekeeper to see what went wrong in the preparation of the lodge on this occasion. I am puzzled by the smell from the BBQ and will investigate this and correct the situation on our next visit.
I take on board your comment regarding the lack of a hairdryer and will certainly provide one in the future at a time when PAT testing is due in order to comply with Health and Safety regulations.
We look forward to welcoming you back to Fountain View next year.
