Burlees Nest

The Lodge is Lovely and clean, beds where comfy, only thing that let us down was the good old British weather, and a power cut on the morning of departure, neither which anyone can prevent

Cosy comfortable warm caravan with everything needed.

Location was fine to access places around and a bus service just down the road for Workington & Keswick to link other places One point, beware of the slippy decking if wet!

Information provided was absolutely spot on.

We would go on to say, that in comparison to other accommodation of a similar type that we have stayed at, it was very generously equipped, we wanted for nothing. Location was superb. Very central to this area of the Lake District that we had not visited before alongwith the surrounding Towns. A mention has to be made about the chap(sorry unable to recall his name) in Reception who very warmly and comically, received us in at the Holiday Park.

There was a slight problem with the heating he came out at 8 o'clock at night and sorted it out.

I call that excellent service and would not hesitate to stay there again.

The caravan was modern and very clean.

It was extremely well stocked with everyday items. I very much liked how the utensil draw was so very neatly placed. Knife rack was very handy on top of work surface. The kitchen was easy to navigate. Shower & toilet were very clean & how I like it home from home. There are leaflets to look through for takeaway & places of interest. Books to read & dvds to watch. I thought a nice homely touch. The main bedroom was well organised as in storage. There are even usb plugs fitted in sockets! Our only issues were the settees are uncomfortable. Just when you want to wind down in the evening we found them so hard & the decking was very slippy. Other than that great!

Lovely caravan and settings When the decking is wet it’s quite slippery.

Only down side there’s nowhere for children to play, ie play area and nearest shop is 2.2 miles away(cockermouth).

The caravan was spacious and clean throughout, located on a friendly site.

Whilst in close proximity to other caravans it is situated at the end of a track so has very little disturbance or passing traffic. I would highly recommend this as a destination offering good value

We really enjoyed our stay, very comfortable caravan, clean and cozy.

We had a lovely stay in this comfortable clean accommodation.

Had a great 4-night stay at this clean and spacious cottage with my family and dog.

The living room was bright and cosy, perfect for relaxing. Comfortable beds and a well-equipped kitchen made our stay easy. Loved the location - close to beautiful spots like Whinlatter Forest and convenient for supermarkets and restaurants. Would definitely recommend!

Beautifully presented property with ALL essential equipment and facilities.

Very comfortable stay on a secluded and very private and well kept site. (Never met the site manager). Instructions for TV ( could not find normal BBC/ ITV channels) and electric fire (manual operations would not override settings) are required. Only things missing (as other guests had stated were provided) were our bottle of wine and carton of milk!!! Otherwise, happy bunnies.

The property was really comfortable and homely.

We throughly enjoyed our stay. Nothing was to much trouble we had a small problem with the gas the day after our arrival and it was sorted within the hour. Would definitely recommend this property.

Fantastic caravan.

Clean. Well equipped. Brilliant location. Plenty of things to do/visit (as you expect in the lakes) The only thing and it is the only thing and it’s just personal preference… maybe a small table light would go well in the living room area for evening time. Will be staying again possibly May 2024

Loved this property.

Clean, spacious, fully equipped, everything you could ever need. Lovely quiet site. Really couldn’t fault the two weeks we had there. Home from home. Well, apart from no Sky Sports of course!

Lovely area with great places to visit within a 20 mile radius.

. The caravan was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed plus more for the dog.. Would definitely go again..

We had a fabulous stay at Burlees Nest.

The caravan was extremely clean and had a modern look with lots of facilities available to us. The site was lovely and quiet. It was close to supermarkets and the town in general as well as 15-20 minute drive to Keswick and Whinlatter Forest. Would definitely visit again.

We absolutely loved the caravan.

The place was fully equipped with great amenities and the beds were very comfortable. We loved the fact that it was a quiet area meaning you could really relax and enjoy nature. We appreciate Mr Burlington’s great hospitality and communication. He made sure we could reach him if we need any help or have any questions. There was plenty of places to visit at close proximity like the Wellington farm, however this isn’t pet friendly. The Lowther Castle and garden is quite a drive but worth it if you’re into site seeing and history. They have a nice cafe and the whole place is pet friendly apart from the children’s playground area! We will definitely go back again to stay here - Thank you :)

Stayed 10-14 July.

What a lovely stay we had here! So clean and well looked after. I will definitely be returning. Owners we so helpful, give instructions on how to get in, all very simple and made everything easy. Nice quiet site, no mither and friendly people. I didn’t have a pen to write in the guest book, but I will be returning so I will do it then :D. Thank you so much for letting us stay, it’s been a pleasure. Thank you x

Great property and love the extra essentials that were left.

.. Good quiet base for exploring local area and love the colour scheme...

A really lovely visit,everything you could possibly need.

Would highly recommend we really enjoyed our stay.Look forward to coming back.Thank you so much.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay on this small, tranquil and well maintained site.

The lodge was immaculate and very well equipped. Communication with the owner was very good and he was very helpful at suggesting an alternative route when I got stuck in a severe traffic jam on my way to the site.

Beautiful lodge with everything you need and spotlessly clean.

Would definitely recommend it . We had a great few days there and will definitely be back. The Lake District is lovely especially Keswick and we had wonderful weather

We loved the accommodation.

So clean and comfortable considering it was pet friendly. Wine and milk lovely touch. The only thing that let our break down was Brigham holiday park. It states its pet friendly, however, dogs were mot allowed to go onto the grassed area on the park. I know it was a manicured area but that meant there was no where for your pet to go to the toilet or to stretch his legs.The only place was behind the caravan which put stress on us all. There wasn't anywhere in the immediate area, nor outside of the park where pets can stretch their legs. We have a border collie and the only place we could take him for good exercise was a beach. So for that reason I think the park should mot be classed as pet friendly. Cannot fault the accommodation!

Beautiful

Great place, well maintained, clean and spacious.

Area is nice and quiet and plenty to explore near by Only downside was sofa and mattress weren’t particularly comfortable but can live with it for a couple of days away

Enjoyed a few days at this lovely, spotless and very well-equipped lodge.

Very quiet small holiday park. Ideal if you fancy a peaceful setting with easy access to the beautiful surrounding areas.

Very happy with the holiday property all very helpful and friendly would book again lol

We stayed for 2 nights and 3 days, 4 adults.

We really enjoyed our stay despite the short duration, the caravan was fully equipped and exceeded our expectations. The owner was very accommodating and very helpful. It was really easy to contact and communicate with the owner when we needed. Highly recommend and will be sure to be back and stay!

GREAT CARAVAN.

WELL EQUIPPED MODERN CARAVAN ON VERY TIDY QUIET SITE. CARAVAN EXTRAS GREAT. WILL CONSIDER ANOTHER HOLIDAY THERE SHORTLY

Lovely, cosy, clean place to stay.

Would definitely stay again.

The caravan is located on a lovely quiet little site just outside Cockermouth, an ideal location for exploring the north west lakes area which was just what we wanted.

The caravan was excellent. It was very clean and comfortable with everything we needed for a self catering trip. All home comforts were provided. It was very well equipped, had an excellent shower and was warm and cosy. There was plenty of room for us to relax in the evenings after being out in the elements all day. I would happy book again if visiting the north western lakes area.

We had a great stay, the place was clean and spacious, with everything we needed for a relaxing short break.

The owner was extremely friendly and helpful, going above and beyond when we had any queries. We will definitely be recommending to our friends and family.

It is clearly a new caravan, with new furniture and utensils, and I would confidently say we were one of the earlier occupants of this caravan.

Which is why the property seemed so lovely when we first arrived, but after we'd settled in we realised this wasn't the case, due to the dreadfully poor level of basic cleaning skills that the owners must have. It seems that as time goes on, this place is only going to get more unclean as people come and go, I feel sorry for whoever stays at this property in the future. The caravan was not clean and we provided plenty of photographic evidence, and one of the owners even came to see, but they still insist that the disgusting amount of dog hairs found in every inch of the caravan and that the unpleasant odour must have "entered the property when the windows and doors were opened." My partner and I love dogs, and appreciate that when staying in a property that allows pets you expect to find some stray hairs here and there, but not this amount. It makes you worry about the other areas that haven't been cleaned well, so we spent the first day of our first holiday in 2 years cleaning! We are fed up with the owners of the property, and Sykes. We are shocked that they both are ignoring the blatant evidence of dog hairs in so many areas both in plain sight and in crevices such as in the shower and on top of the toilet seat - Which I must add, the owner claims to have "polished". All we'd like at this point is a sincere apology, but even that seems to difficult to get. Don't stay here. Don't stay at any property through Sykes. They'll take your money and ignore your comments.

We had a lovely week at Burlees Nest , everything was there that we needed, very well equipped and spotless clean, good base for exploring the Dales, would come back and recommend to family and friends.

The site is very quite and made up of holiday lets and residential vans, ours was between residents but they were very helpful and friendly.

The van was immaculately clean on arrival and the milk and wine in the fridge was a nice touch. Mobile phone signal is not the best but we found the best place was on the front outside decking. The WIFI signal was also very good. The beds were very comfy but we did find the settees in the lounge a little on the hard side but managed quite well for a weeks holiday. The van is very well equipped with good quality kitchen items the only thing missing was a potato masher. If you take your dog along as we did there are no dog walks in the immediate vicinity but the walk along the country road outside the site sufficed had we not gone out for the day. We would defiantly stay again should we be that way .

Very well presented holiday home and exceptionally clean.

Very quiet site but lots of places to go fairly close by. Great social club just opposite site who are very welcoming. Would recommend
