Hudson's Hideaway

Loverly lodge just needs jobs doing to it.

No baking trays for the oven no hoover to clean with, the main gate outside broke,brush broke,fire looks old and rusted,light in hall not working,bed in main room not fixed proberly but loverly and comfy,toilet seat loose.

Such a lovely place to stay.

Very clean and homely. Smelt fresh as well as the bed linen and towels. Great position on the site as it was so nice and quiet. Superb location for you to explore the lakes as well as locally. This isn’t a negative just a suggestion, pillows could so with replacing as they are very flat ,maybe bounce back or memory foam as well as using pillow protectors. Also some of the kitchen utensils need replacing as they are well used. But this didn’t impact our stay as it was very enjoyable. However, I did have to contact Sykes the 2nd day with an issue who promptly contacted the owner. The owner then got in touch with me straight away. Apologised and said which he would leave a gift on the decking upon our return. He arranged to come over the very next morning at 9am to resolve our issue. At 10am he still hadn’t come. So I messaged then got a reply at 11.30am saying he wasn’t well. We departed 5 days later still encountering our issue during our stay and never heard anything from the owner or anyone else since or at all. Our issue wasn’t major but it has made us wonder if it had being anything major or serious what would have happened ? Understandable people get ill but if your hosting a property as a business for guests you should have provisions in place to resolve big or even the smallest of problems. It was so kind of him to leave a gift but then not contacting us at all after that to resolve the issue, send someone or rearrange we can’t understand. So unfortunately would not return or recommend him as a good host.

excellent accommodation 5 star and beyond, very good wifi with no buffering, beautiful setting.

We had a lovely stay in August.

The Lodge is comfortable, warm and spacious. The added bonus was the washing machine that wasn't mentioned in the facilities. The lodge is facing a lawn area so perfect for the kids/dog to play. The only let down we found was minimal trays, oven dishes, the small hoover wasn't the best to help keep on top of the floors/carpets and their was a nettle plant growing up and onto the front of the decking that wasn't safe for the kids and dog. However we had a lovely stay, the weather was lovely, the park is quiet & friendly and we would return.

A wonderful stay in the lodge and we would definitely consider coming back.

A few small complaints, the WiFi was very hit and miss and frequently dropped out. The grill does not work properly and has to be in full power or it goes out. Not all the doors completely shut. But these were very small inconveniences.

Hi a lovely Lodge, very clean on arrival and everything as listed.

A real lovely touch is when the owner Steve turned up and introduced himself with a complimentary bottle of fizz + chocolates, thank you Steve. The Lodge was as listed and was lovely. Kitchen all amenities, dishwasher, washing machine etc. Would definitely book again, the picturesque sight when we arrived on a summer's day of kids playing in the lake, kayaking, families having pinic on the lawn and the bar/restaurant jammed with people sitting outside, it was like something of a brochure. Don't hesitate booking this lodge, there are a few issues that were of no fault of the owner likes the some of the doors to the bedroom didn't shut but like I say the owner has had some work done the Lodge so am 100% sure isn't his fault. He was very nice and thanked us for our booking which in my opinion just added that personal touch as many owners just like to take the money and run !!!!! Thanks Steve will definitely be back. From Aimee (Joanne) + Graham Southgate 18 July - 25 July

the lodge was nice comfortable beds and furniture as far as maintenance is concerned just the solar lights need some tidying and i think the gutters blocked it dripped a lot after rain would book again in the future mr and mrs lloyd and tess

The only downside was the cutlery.

Only 2 soup spoons between 4 of us. Also there was no casserole dishes or any sort of large dishes for cooking. Otherwise it was very comfortable. An excellent place to stay.

The property was very comfortable and we had a lovely relaxing holiday with a good meal in the restaurant on site.

Would come back x

Had a lovely 4 days, owner was in touch when needed assistance, immaculate lodge and very cosy.

Really enjoyed staying here with my partner and our dog. Thanks for a nice relaxing time

Great property everything you need lovely restaurant on site can’t wait to go back

Very clean on arrival A couple of dishes and a mug were cracked that was the only fault Highly recommend this place as the ideal get away We had a nice relaxing week will hopefully returning later on in the year Would definitely recommend this place to our friends Many thanks for a great week

Stayed previously and really liked it so booked again for this stay but this time wasn’t as good.

The lodge is in need of some maintenance which is clearly visible but hasn’t been attended. 1) Decking lights missing and broken/sharp ones lying on the decking floor. 2) Main toilet door latch continually sticks and the door won’t close properly as a result. 3) Blind string clips broken and lying at the windows. 4) Glass shower shelf from en-suite shower off and lying on the shower wooden shelf. 5) Air vent below fridge continually falls off. Was lying on the floor when went into lodge. 6) WiFi wasn’t working.

fantastic lodge,very clean lovely bedrooms owner checked with us that everything was alright it was only could not find a vaccum cleaner.

The property was an absolute dream to stay at.

Very clean and comfortable. We had all the necessities for a wonderful stay. The owner was very accommodating and keen to sort out any minor issues for us. I would absolutely visit again in the future.

Certainly the most comfortable lodge we've ever stayed in.

Couldn't ask for any more!

Just 2 for info no baking trays for oven only the grill pan, and no tea pot and i couldn’t find the hairdryer.

The property was really clean and smart lovely spot Will come again.

This a lovely place to stay for a break however the accommodation could just do with a bit of maintenance as in creaking doors especially the toilets seat lid wow that is loud in the middle of the night, the cooker needs a good overhaul as it sometimes fails to stay alight, blinds falling off curtain hooks loose, but all said a lovely place to stay once little niggles done

Overall the lodge was nice, however it did fall short in many areas unfortunately.

When we arrived, the information stated that a key box would be outside but it did not tell us how to get to the lodge or about the barriers. After driving around for 15 minutes, we went to reception and were told we needed to walk there first to get the keys. No map provided. The lodge itself was nice, but there was rubbish left in several places including bread in the cupboard which was stale and rubbish behind the TV and beds. I was also disappointed that there was only 1 oven tray, no basic essentials like salt/pepper/cooking oil and no spare bedding provided which is often essential when travelling with children. We the found out that although the advert states that swimming and gym access is included, it isn't and I ended up paying £100 for my children to swim which is misleading as this was one of the main reasons I booked this particular lodge. Overall, nice lodge but the lack of information, completely incorrect information in places and lack of basic essentials did make the holiday fall short of what I would expect for such a lovely site. It would be really helpful to provide people with more detailed check-in information and make it clear that no activities are included and must be paid for.

Beautiful lodge in a beautiful setting.

Good food ar the pub. Owner arrived the 2nd morning 2 ensure everything OK. They leffcd bottle of presecco. Everything you needed was available. You Do have to pay for swimming which we were not expecting

Lovely comfy place to stay met the owner who very kindly brought us two gifts for our holiday could not fault anything.

Lovely lodge.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Could do with a parasol so you can sit out on the deck when it's very hot. Would recommend in a heartbeat.

Lovely place well located to explore The Lakes.

The property even popped in to say hello which was a nice touch.

Throughly enjoyed our stay.

Accommodation was first class and site was peaceful. The food in the restaurant was lovely too. We will be back!

We had a 10 night stay and everything was brilliant.

The lodge is beautiful inside and all home comforts. We were really impressed. It’s also very spacious with 2 bathrooms including a bath. It was a lovely stay and the surrounding are beautiful. We’ll definitely be back

We had a lovely stay at Hudsons hideaway.

Master bedroom with walk in wardrobe and ensuite is very spacious with a Lovely comfy bed. Everything you need to cook a lovely meal is provided in the kitchen. Only small issue was no thermostat to control the central heating and no cushions for the outside seating.

Very nice holiday home in perfect location, very clean and tidy with a beautiful master bedroom.

Good facilities on the site with nice pool and gym. Would recommend to anyone visiting the lakes and south lakeland. We will definitely book here again on our next visit to the Lake District.

Really nice stay.

Lodge was very nice and modern. Site was lovely too. Highly recommended .

The lodge was immaculate and very cosy with everything we needed.

We had a lovely time thankyou.

The property owner was extremely helpful.

When we arrived we couldn't get into the property after trying the keycode given by Sykes Cottages. The couple luckily in the neighbouring property saw we were struggling to get in. They rang the cleaner who'd been in that day who gave us the correct code. Despite Sykes Cottages saying to keep trying the code we had been given? A we got inside the 0wner arrived asking if we were okay? Could not fault here truly, it was immaculate, so clean and comfortable. We rested and relaxed and met up wth family, What an added bonus ...lovely welcome pack! Beer, Prosecco, Mince Pies, Selection Box, A box of sweets and crackers. Would certainly return and recommend here.
