The Three Bears Lodge, Coniston Drive 11

Lovely property with the caveat that the decking needed protection I would guess around 5 years ago.

Current status : very faded, starting to rot in places. Unable to walk barefoot die to splinters. Also gate dropped of hinges and needed to be lifted manually. Other than decking a wonderful property.

Lovely property, had everything we needed.

Good information pack, good wifi signal. Fantastic hot tub and decking area. Decent pressure in the showers. Would happily stay again. Not part of review: *We left some boots/trainers, there are no contact details to notify someone to try and get them back.

Me and my family had an amazing holiday for my husbands 60th birthday everything was amazing

The hot tub wasn't up to temperature the first night but was fine thereafter.

The wooden steps and balcony were very slippery. There was nowhere to hang coats apart from the wardrobes, we had dry weather so it wasn't really a problem. Everything else was very good, the lodge was nicely furnished and had lovely views, thanks for the prosecco. We would definitely stay again.

Stayed at 3 Bears for multiple family celebration: eldest son’s 21st, fantastic A level results, new jobs.

Was perfect for us, greatly assisted by the glorious weekend weather. The lodge is perfectly positioned, overlooking one of the smaller lakes. It benefits from the afternoon sun and is a wonderfully relaxing place to be. In fact we were debating whether to eat at the on-site restaurant but decided against as the view from the lodge cannot be bettered. The hot tub was an added bonus and was enjoyed by all. Saw reviews about the leaking toilet and oven not working and called Sykes to check this. Contact with Sykes wasn’t easy (was next day before an agent contacted me via WhatsApp). We also thought the oven was faulty but realised it is a gas oven that needs a lighter to light it (as ignition not working). Visited Silverdale and Arnside and had a fantastic Sunday roast at The Eagle’s Head (would highly recommend). Our sons and girlfriends had a great time on the other lake in hired kayaks. All in all, a great weekend and lots of happy memories.

An absolutely beautiful lodge and was perfect for my husband and I, plus our little fur-baby.

Hot tub was an absolute bonus and this sealed the deal when browsing against other lodges. We had noticed the railing above the door was broken and a printed note left on the counter which mentioned the oven was still not working, along with a leaky toilet. We weren't sure who wrote and left the printed note, so we were careful when using the bathroom.(Used the en-suite instead to avoid making a potential issue worse). The outside of the property - the seating area overlooking the pond - could do with some TLC such as varnishing, cleaning of the glass (which has a lot of brown varnish smears), but not a deal breaker at all. Just some observations while enjoying the beautiful views! :) We loved our time at the lodge (I think I personally have fallen in love with it) and we will be returning again!

Unfortunately, I’ve been quite disappointed with the cleanliness and general condition of the lodge.

A few of the issues we’ve noticed:       •     Bedding was dirty       •     One of the sheets is ripped       •     Toilet seat in the en-suite is very loose • The toilet was leaking in the main bathroom       •     Oven wasn’t working       •     No tin opener provided       •     Curtain rail above the door is hanging off       •     Toaster is temperamental       •     Upholstery is quite grubby I’m not expecting anything to be done for us at this stage, but I hope this can be looked into for the sake of future guests.

Oven was not working as a family of five we decided we would like to visit the on-site swimming pool but we’re advised it would cost £35 per person each swim it would have been nice to be made aware of this on the booking site

The lodge had everything we need.

It was clean and tidy when we arrived it was in a lovely quiet spot the only sounds we heard was the sound of the fountain and the ducks (which was lovely and relaxing). The only downfall with the lodge was on the double bed the mattress did not fit the base and me and my husband hurt our ankles a couple of times getting in and out of it BUT that was the only thing we had a problem with everything else was great.

What a fantastic stay we had.

The lodge is wonderful, excellent location and facilties. The hot tub was a welcome feature after all our dog walks. Cannot wait to book again for a return visit.

We enjoyed our stay at the lodge and the facilities were great with everything one needs for a comfortable stay.

The hot tub was good but the cover was rather worn with tears around the edges and a dent on one side of the top. It was also extremely heavy and difficult to move. Only other thing worth mentioning, is it could do with some lighting around outside of the lodge especially near the steps as it can be very dark and a potential trip hazard. Would definitely recommend to others and look forward to returning in the future.
