    “The Holiday Lodge was Shabby outside in arrival, the decking was covered in slime and moss that you could hardly stand up, the patio doors were not secure when locked at the top so someone could push them open, the toilet door handle came off inside so I got locked in, the toilet roll holder was hanging off, my granddaughter sat on the breakfast bench and it collapsed and she just missed going into the patio window .”

    So all in all not a very relaxing holiday we were expecting, would not stay in this lodge again

    So all in all not a very relaxing holiday we were expecting, would not stay in this lodge again

    - Haydn, August 2024

    I am very sorry that your stay was not as expected and have provide that feedback directly to the company. We have the lodge fully managed by Sykes Cottages and since they took over the management from the previous company the level of communication and maintenance by them has fallen below the standard expected. I was unaware of any of the issues raised until I called into the lodge last week and then also spoke directly to the cleaning company. Whilst minor maintenance issues do arise we expect these to be dealt with promptly and directly by the company and for more significant or costly issues communicated directly to us to determine resolution. The lodge is scheduled for major renovation before next season including new decking and outside furniture; wood flooring throughout main areas, replacement of dining suite; blinds/curtains; bathroom refreshes; staining and renovating the exterior.

Grizedale Forest Park is within easy driving distance and is home to a range of activities including many good walks, mountain biking and the 'Go Ape' adventure park.

Lake District Lodge Holidays has no association with the owners of these parks or responsibility for the provision of services they offer. At certain times of year, there maybe a reduction in those services, which is outside of our control.

Commercial vehicles, caravans, camper vans, Hen or Stag parties are not permitted onsite. Dogs must be kept on leads at all times and are not be left alone in the lodges at any point during your stay.

You will be staying on an operational holiday park, which means work may be undertaken from time to time by the park owners during your stay. Although Lake District Lodge Holidays will always try to inform guests in advance if something may impact on a stay and if we have prior knowledge. We cannot be held responsible or accept any liability for park operations of which are outside of our control and which we have no knowledge of.

Hot Tubs

For the comfort of other holidays guests we request that noise is kept to a minimum. Usage of the hot tub is between 10am and 10pm only. If you are found to breach these timings then you may be asked to vacate the park with no call for a refund.

All hot tubs are maintained to strict industry standards and HSE guidelines by separate qualified independent contractors on behalf of the property owners. This includes changing the water between guest stays and checking the water condition on a regular basis.

Whilst every effort is made to have a hot tub ready for immediate use by the arrival time stated, this may not always be possible. In such cases the hot tub will usually be ready to use later that day unless otherwise advised. In such cases no compensation or refund is payable unless the hot tub is faulty.

Information about using a hot tub safely is provided at all lodges with a hot tub and on a prominent notice near the tub. All hot tub users should wear an appropriate bathing suit.
