12A Lake Escape

Beautiful lodge, this was our 5th stay here and looking forward to many more, lodge has excellent facilities and has a lovely view of the lake

We had the most wonderful stay.

The views were amazing and we could really switch off and just enjoy our time away. My only issues were that the security for smaller dogs around the lodge wasn’t the best, our dog managed to get out from the ramp side as the gap from the gate to the floor was quite substantial. The lodge itself was clean, but the hoover provided didn’t suck up well enough for us to continue to keep cleaning through the week. A retouch of paint and some homely touches like a reed diffuser in certain rooms for smells would be nice. We wouldn’t happily stay here again though as these things didn’t put us off, but do feel the gates on the lodge need to be more secure. Excellent place to stay and didn’t want to leave!

Wow from when you unlock the door inside was beautiful,however just a few minor tweaks needed sadly some things shown on booking sadly not usable which was addressed in our email on arrival, outdoor area could do with an upgrade and clean, to match the inside, also arrived with children with one being under 2 unfortunately miniature animal toys left under sofa and inside sofa which could have ended badly (something maybe the cleaner should have noticed), But with that said this didn't stop us as a family having a brilliant stay, would still return.

Lodge when we arrived first impression was it was huge very spacious and clean, it was all unlocked with windows open on arrival (not sure if this is something the cleaners do) this is one of the nicest lodges on this site that we have been too and we’ve stayed here a few times, beds comfy could do with extra pillows as only had two per bed but we managed, noticed too that there was no shelving to put shower gel/shampoo on also could do with somewhere to put toothbrushes on in the shower room.

Patio doors where really hard to unlock and lock they could do with looking at but again we managed. On departure we took pillow cases,sheets and duvet covers off beds like we always do to help the cleaners out noticed some brown stains on duvet and pillows maybe they could get changed. But apart from that we had a fantastic stay and would definitely stay in this lodge again

The lodge was really impressive.

Set in a lovely location. It would benefit from a welcome pack with information about what to do with rubbish and information about local vets, hospitals etc. The location of it is fantastic. There were ducks with ducklings popping along every day for some food. If staying in the hot weather then take a fan with you as night time can get very warm.

Absolutely lovely break away!

We did not want to come home. The lodge was lovely and spacious We spent a lot of time outside on the decking as it was lovely and sunny the week we was there. On a lovely site. Close to every where we wanted to visit while here. Can’t fault anything. Would love to come back again. X

We recently stayed at this lakeside lodge for the second time, having loved our first visit so much.

Unfortunately, this stay didn’t quite have the same warm and personal feel as before. On our first visit, there were thoughtful touches waiting for us like tea, coffee, and sugar, which made the lodge feel welcoming and cared for. This time, none of those little extras were provided, and overall it felt far less personable. The biggest disappointment came after we left. I realised I’d accidentally left my card holder on the entryway shelving unit and contacted the owner straight away. Sadly, despite being told the owner would get back to me, I’m still waiting to hear back 8 weeks later. The location itself is still lovely, but the level of customer care and attention to detail we experienced the first time just wasn’t there on this occasion.

Lovely clean lodge fantastic view.

Beds very comfy only downside was the corner sofa. Very hard to get up off it especially with somebody with mobility issue. Ramp was excellent for mobility scooter. Wet room nice but again could do with a handle near shower. Would definitely recommend just wasn’t suitable for us

12A Lakeside is an ideal place to stay, clearly exhibiting in every way the pride its owners take in it.

Its position by the lake is perfect and it was a treat to watch the escapades of the mallards as we had our breakfast. Its being on one level is a major plus for those who, like me, do not do stairs very well. A short drive takes one to a very good hotel, Longlands, offering delicious food. Be advised to take kitchen roll, fairy liquid (not supplied) and extra toilet rolls. A minor quibble. We had a great week and would book again.

We have been to this property twice and we really love it would definatly book again

The lodge was just perfect and had everything we needed to make our stay so great as well as things for our dogs loved watching the ducks on the mini lake it was just a peaceful and relaxing place I loved it and would go back again

Very nice lodge clean, spacious, well equipped for self catering, comfortable ,nice outlook on the lake.

Regarding the disability element accessiblty is good but wet room requires hand rail on shower and toilet . Sofa's in lounge extremely low .for any body with mobility issues..

Gorgeously decorated, spacious lodge that met all of our party needs and more!

Plenty of room for our party of 5 and 2 dogs. Highlight was the beautiful decking and outdoor areas, where we enjoyed watching the swans swim by and having drinks around the fire pit table in the evening. Only thing to mention is the jetty - some work to this would allow it to be used. There is a lot of plants preventing it from being used to its full capacity.

We stay in a lot of lodges around the country and this one tops the list so far.

The lodge we stayed in was really great for our vacation, the description and photos don't do it enough justice, big enough to accommodate our family of 5 and the dog. The views from the decking to the lake were breathtaking, the immense size catered for all our family needs, ( disabled, child, dog, all ages ) Anyone looking for a modern spacious lodge as a base to explore the surrounding areas wouldn't go wrong with this place. Would recommend a visit.

Had a great holiday stay in the chalet.

It was situated right next to the lake, which was perfect. Rooms were perfect. Settee was extremely comfortable, too comfortable

This lodge is outstanding & everything we hoped for in a lovely location, well equipped in fact the best ive been to.

Only a couple of small things there was no mirror in the bedroom next to the wet room or bathroom for my dad to shave etc. & no chair, as my dad struggles to stand for long but this was a minor problem & we had a great holiday & hope to come back. Only other thing was no sthop on the site but that nothing to do with the property. All in all 10 out 10 thank you.

Was really looking forward to this break , the lodge itself is very nice .

But I have to say I was extremely disappointed that I could not get on the lake with my paddle board due to over grown weeds from the jetty, as the picture on the website clearly shows you can do this as other guests were from there lodges and this spoilt it for us . Little things like the mirror in the bedroom couldn’t use the lights around it as they didn’t work . Over all it is a beautiful lodge .

Fabulous property in a fabulous location.

View over the lake amazing. Five star property.

Absolutely gorgeous lodge, lovely location, easy check in/departure and good value for money!

Very pleased with our stay here.

Lovely and clean especially when the swans visited us with their baby

I would book this lodge again without any hesitation it's beautifully situated on the edge of the lake so peaceful and relaxing

Beautiful lodge in a great location, close to the waters edge bar and restaurant, within easy reach of the Lake District.

Amazing lodge very clean would recommend.

Booked again for September

Excellent holiday Lodge.

Very clean, well equipped kitchen, comfy bed, nice shower, Chris the owner was very helpful when we arrived as we had no heating due to empty calor gas bottles which was a fault by the office. Not Chris or Sykes John,Carol, & Millie (our Westie)

Been to this location many times must say this is one of the best Lodges we have stayed in, everything just perfect, our dog Snowy very happy with this one too, looking forward to our next visit already.

What a beautiful holiday home.

Really comfortable and clean, with absolutely everything there for our stay. We had a problem with the boiler and the owner was very kind and helpful, even ringing back later to make sure it was sorted. I would highly recommend this lovely place, we had a wonderful time here with our dog. Thank you

We had a lovely weekend, The lodge is beautiful and had everything we needed.

. It was like home from home but with a much better view our son and dog made themselves at home very quickly.. I’d definitely recommend it, and we will definitely be back very soon.. Thanks for having us stay..

Outstanding place to stay would recommend it to all.

Campsite was very quiet as is end February just as we like it.10/10 will definitely be back.
