“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 ...

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.

Thank you for leaving such good feedback and we are delighted you had a relaxing stay. The Eagles Head is highly recommended! Sykes contacted me to confirm those couple of issues were remedied before your stay and we were glad to do that. You are quite correct with the oven ignition (a few of our earlier summer guests struggled hence the reviews) so there are a couple of candle lighters in the cutlery drawer which do the job or you can use the grill ignition. Congratulations to all on A-Level results and jobs - a hot tub is as good a place as any to celebrate! Hope you can come back but can't guarantee the weather next time. Property Owner

“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!

- Gemma, July 2025

Thank you for your kind feedback. So lovely to hear you enjoyed your stay. We are planning to redo the decking in the close season (we inherited the varnish smears and agree they detract from the view). and are also on with the oven and toilet repairs in between bookings. We would love to welcome you back! Property Owner

“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.

- Thomas, July 2025

Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback - our first negative comments - and we are sorry you were not happy with the cleanliness of the lodge. We take your comments very seriously. I have raised this with our cleaners. I believe the oven and toilet issues were rectified during your stay and the broken washing machine communicated to you by Sykes in advance...? I will arrange the other repairs and replacements and we are grateful for your bringing this to our attention. Property Owner

“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.

- Alison, May 2025

Thanks for leaving the feedback. We agree about the mattress! I think we will replace it and have looked into it but the bed frame is frustratingly inbetween sizes..... Really glad you enjoyed the rest of your break. Did you see the swan signets? They were born last month. Property Owner

“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.

- Helen, April 2025

And we would be very happy to welcome you back. Thank you for taking the time to post this feedback and we are very glad you had a nice break. Property Owner

“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.

- Sue, March 2025

Thank you very much for your valued feedback. You are absolutely right about the hot tub lid so we have a new one on order (it's a bespoke manufacturer apparently and takes 8 weeks) which will be fitted by the end of April - hopefully in time for your next stay! I have ordered additional lighting for the steps, motion-sensing solar and will install when I can access next. There is an outside light which covers the front door but point taken thanks.
