About Duckling Lodge

Situated within the South Lakeland Leisure Village, resting on the outskirts of the bustling town of Carnforth is this wonderful waterside lodge, Duckling Lodge. This heart-warming retreat is the perfect escape from reality for a family seeking a traditional getaway to an area steeped with natural beauty and in close proximity to the coastline. Be welcomed into an open-plan living space which has been individually styled with a light decor and large windows offering an abundance of natural light. Choose to spend your evening relaxing on the soft leather, reclining sofas and while away the hours having a family movie night or catching up with your favourite TV shows whilst the gas fire keeps you nice and toasty. Behind this is a smartly fitted kitchen with pristine white units and plenty of preparation space for rustling up some delicious meals. Take your meals to the handy dining table with enough seating for all four guests and toast to a wonderful holiday with a refreshing glass of champagne. Situated all on the ground floor, the property hosts one double and one twin bedroom, both with a range of furniture for storing your personal belongings. The master bedroom comes with its own en-suite shower room so you don't have to share the bathroom unless you fancy a long and relaxing soak in the tub. The property benefits from an enclosed decking area, perfect for those summer evenings outside watching the sunset, or take a dip in the bubbling hot tub for that splash of luxury during your trip. Once you've spent some time on the decking in the morning watching the sun fully rise, head out to explore the local area; with the site holding a range of facilities including a restaurant and bar, gym, pool, steam room and spa, you have everything you need for a relaxing retreat on your doorstep. While you're in the area, choose from a small choice of restaurants and pubs at the village of Carnforth for some fine dining. A short drive will bring you into the bustling city centre of Lancaster which benefits from a wide-range of attractions suitable for all ages and tastes. You can visit the 12th century Lancaster Castle, Lancaster City Museum housed in a Georgian building, or explore the Lancaster Priory Church for a wealth of history. Or choose to a take a long walk alongside the Lancaster Canal with your four-legged friend as your companion. Travel towards Morecambe Golf Club where you can enjoy a friendly game with your family or spend the afternoon at the beach. Duckling Lodge is a well-placed property for exploring the very best Lancashire has to offer.

Duckling Lodge Reviews

Michael

We had an enjoyable stay, however just a few niggles, the fan on the oven does not work, the tv in the bedroom does not work, no mop and bucket, we had to clean the floor on hands and knees, outdoor furniture could do with replacing as the sofa was broken, and definitely needs a parasol as the weather was hot and sunny but we had no shade. we ended up sitting under a golf umbrella. The shower head was tied up with an elastic band.... which snapped !,just trivial things which do need addressing. We would stay again if the said items were fixed.

Christopher

Everything about the lodge was fantastic, very clean and well maintained. My only complaint would be with pure leisure for allowing the fishing ponds to degrade, such a shame as I have fished there before and had amazing experiences.

Really enjoyed our stay at the lodge, Malva who came to service the hot tub was very friendly, pleasant and checked we were happy with everything, great service !

Sandra

We had a great stay at Duckling Lodge. The lodge was clean on arrival and we did not have any issues The male receptionist was very helpful when checking in. We all enjoyed the hot tub after a day out. We visited Old School Brewery a quirky place that does excellent food and drink that is a 2 minute drive a way. We would stay here again. Thank you.

Clean and comfortable.

Pamela

On arrival lodge looked nice, I was looking forward to a soak in the bath, however there was no plug, not a great start! . I had to go out & purchase a plug left for the next person. Fan oven, the fan doesn't work so things take ages to cook also no oven proof dishes or trays to use. Blind in bedroom no rod for opening. Television in bedroom wouldn't work just came up with no signal. Finally on checking the mattress in main bedroom it is heavily stained and not nice needs replacing. The site was nice, hot tub did get over hot sometimes & we had to wait for temp to go down. Wine & biscuits was a nice touch, but would of preferred a plug for bath.

Katrina

Just returned from 3 nights in this wonderful lodge we did not want to leave! The lodge had everything you need and more! The little touches of wine, biscuits, tea, coffee etc were lovely! Our cleaner was lovely so sorry I didnt get your name she was so friendly and did a wonderful job. We will most definitely be booking again. Thank you to the owner too, I did want to leave a note for you but didnt have a notepad, your lodge is perfect we enjoyed every minute.

Great lodge, and great location. Very clean. Upon arriving I arrived at reception, asking for directions to the lodge the man at the desk was extremely rude and unhelpful. He said as it has been booked through a third party he cant help with any questions. I also asked for a map which he said there isnt one apart from the big one on the side of the reception building. We also tried using the oven on one night but could not get it to work! I think the fan may be broken.

Dianne

This is a lovely lodge and we really enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately we did have a few problems with the hot tub but the owner Jacqueline was very helpful and did all she could. Think it may be a slight problem for some on arrival having to walk to the lodge from reception to collect the keys in order to be able to lift the barrier but wasn't a problem for us and it was a lovely sunny day. Would definitely stay there again and would recommend

Alexander

Pros loving touch wine and biscuits, hot tub amazing , very peaceful, great for dogs being fenced in, lots of space between lodges , great location to visit other places I. E Morecambe great having 2 bathrooms . Cons fan assistant oven didnt work making cooking times so long, didnt leave bin liners , needed more oven proof dishes had to go to Tesco and buy one, measuring jug, maybe even a cloths horse also mark the switches on the wall as turned off and after an hour opened the fridge door and thought it wasnt working, then I pushed all the switches and it came back on , little hover great, but wasnt empty on our arrival, the mop was so dirty , and under furniture was dirty found an old dog treat and not ours . And one more thing , need a hook to hold open the patio door as when the wind got up, it shut with a force which could harm someone especially a child . Would I return Definitely yes , thanks

Jacqueline

I have stay in this lodge 3 times now everything you need nice and clean, not a complaint but the only thing I would say sofa not comfortable but not put me off as we going back in May.

I really enjoyed the stay. We had an amazing time. Nice and chilled and the property was perfect for us.

Judith

Had trouble sorting out the heating had to go on line as no instructions left also no hot water, the hot tub was not on either not happy about queries about how many where staying as my mother called in, obviously the owner was watching us , apart from that the lodge was nice

Caroline

Duckling Lodge was like home from home, with the lovely benefit of a beautifully maintained hot tub! The lodge was immaculately clean on arrival and had everything we needed and more. It was a perfect base for our wonderful holiday, exploringa beautiful part of the world. Apart from one evening when the WiFi was a little unreliable, everything else was perfect and the lodge fully deserves a five star rating. Thank you for a lovely late summerearly autumn break. We really hope to return at some point in the future.

Steven

Tried to contact people on the emergency number No one has got back to us as yet On the first night we went to get into the hot tub which was 41. 5 degrees ! We lasted about 5mins in that as it was too hot The next morning the tub was 42.3 degrees I could just about get my foot in it but nothing else When we returned from brockholes we found the hot tub had shut itself down as it was too hot We contacted the only available number as reception was closed or unmanned also given how unhelpful they had been up to this point because we were a private letting ? We were not expecting any help from them. There was no reply from the emergency number and still has not been a reply from the emergency number. The site had already barred me from taking my van and leaving it on our drive as they claimed it was a commercial vehicle. There were plenty of other commercial vehicles allowed on site I even took a picture of one next door so I can only assume its because we were renting privately Would not recommend to anyone Tbph and I can honestly say I have never ever said that before of a break.

Thomas

Duckling Cottage was lovely. We enjoyed Our time there and would definitely stay again .

Abigail

The lodge is lovely and better than expected Id recommend you to update the photos online as the new sofas and new tv look great! The cleanliness could have been better as there was a lot of broken glass near and under one of the sofas when we first arrived. We hoovered it to find the hoover was full to the brim and needed emptying before using. Everytime we hoovered which was daily, the lodge ending up stinking of dog im guessing from what was inside and left in the hoover! I contacted the owner and Sykes to say we were having an issue with the washing machine as it had locked after a cycle meaning our clothes were stuck inside, but I had no response from either in the 4 days we were there. We managed to unlock it by turning it off at the mains. The lodge is lovely, and the hot tub was perfect and remained hot all the time. 3040minute drive to Windermere which was perfect. Would definitely visit again and recommend to others.

Lesley

Enjoyed our stay every thing was perfect right down to the price to the bottle of wine thank you so much.

Couches need replacing , there was no plug for bath. blinds rod was broken missing, can opener broken, door on dishwasher unable to open fully., there was a broken fence panel outside near the hose pipe. Enjoyed our stay in the lodge despite minor problems mentioned above , would return if these were rectified. however the site is a lovely site and Mickey the dog enjoyed himself. Kind Regards , Peter

Pamela

We had a lovely relaxing time at duckling lodge for 5 days, perfect for visiting different places. The only thing i would advise is that would be helpful is a handrail in main bathroom to help steady for getting in and out of shower, even though there are mats, found it a bit difficult getting in and out for shower. the on suite shower is a bit small for the larger person and no where to put toiletries also the shower head keeps sliding down, needs attention, but we over all had a peaceful time, thank you.

Arrived at Duckling Lodge Friday 17th May with my mum and my two small dogs . The Lodge was absolutely Beautiful very clean and well equipped . We even had a bottle of wine and biscuits left for us . The grounds and lakes are lovely . The dogs enjoyed their walks around the site . The restaurant served very good food and is dog friendly . You do need to book in advance . Overall what a brilliant weekend we both have had . Really enjoyed our stay . Thank you Duckling Lodge for a great weekend . Enjoyed it that much I have booked again .

WiFi not showing up for us to connect. Could see WiFi for lodges all around but for lodge 5. Later it showed up but poor connection then disappeared. If WiFi is essential for you this is not good for you like my sister she is from abroad with phone on data roaming so she was disappointed all night she got no WiFi in the lodge. Another issue we had is when I tried to run a bath I couldnt find anywhere the bath plug. Very strange indeed. Main bedroom is comfortable enough. Small bed really small. Hot tub is the best part. Nice surroundings in the village but lodge next to lodges quite close. In general I would say ok but not strong recommendation

The lodge was amazing for us for our short break. It was a perfect reset, the lodge was clean, comfortable, warm and had everything that we needed including WiFi which was great for the kids. The welcome wine and biscuits was an also a nice surprise! The park is quiet and calming, if youre going expecting Haven then youll be disappointed but for us, we needed quiet and calm and it was stunning. The lake is beautiful to walk around, especially with a dog, and the whole park is so clean and well kept. Its the sort of place Id like to retire too. The pub was lovely and the food was great. The service was also exceptional. For us, only two improvements that we could see, the first is for the park, it needs a small shop for essentials. The second is so tiny but the remote in the bedroom doesnt work, like I said, so minor but, for some it may be an issue. In short, we loved it, perfect location and an amazing gem of a lodge that we wouldnt hesitate to visit again.

No steps to hot tub found it difficult to get into the tub. Also no plug for bath.

Sherryl

The lodge was great, warm, comfortable, clean and with everything we needed for a short break. Although not mentioned, there is a TV in the bedroom. Unfortunately there is no signal and the remote control is faulty right arrow button not working so it is not possible to connect to the internet. We did report this to Reception but the problem was not resolved while we were there 4 days. This did not detract from our enjoyment and the hot tub was amazing, we were lucky to have 3 nights with great star gazing. Would certainly recommend Duckling Lodge.

Very nice lodge considering it was a pet friendly. Being left wine and nibbles was very nice. Also dog bowls etc made us feel dog was welcome. Hot tub nice and hot. Nice quiet site,very clean. Was nice to have washing machine and dishwasher,although we didnt use either. Only complaints are that as we arrived in dark, the site is poorly lit and lodges not very well lit so finding our lodge was difficult to find.also registering booking fee is very high. will be returning.

Messaged the owner 4 times and aswell as sky cottages hot tub dint work the whole time we was they, the decking gate bodged with screw so just slamming against post all night disappointing as kids was looking forward to the hot tub

Simply a great little place! All the home comforts. Good addition with hot tub, site nice and quiet. Facilities within are expensive but that is separate to this little gem of a place.

Really bad weekend for weather but not spoiled by Duckling Lodge. Very warm,plenty of hot water.Beds so comfy.The hot tub was great.Had a slight problem with electrics,which was sorted within the hour.A great place for relaxing.Bit of a pain picking key up.Could it perhaps be left at reception instead of having to find lodge first.Definitely a good place for a restful break.

Lauren

Such a lovely lodge, kitchen well equipped, beds comfortable and shower pressureheat really good! Was surprised on arrival to see different flooring and sofas than on the listing but it was a nice surprise. Hot tub a nice feature although the lid is really heavy. Had issue with electrics tripping, no info in the information book of what to do or who to contact, ended up contacting Sykes but by the time they replied we got them working again. Some of information in there is out of date IE recommended place to eat closed, site map written on but nothing Google major that a Google search couldn't help with. Would stay again and recommend to anyone if you want a quiet break and a home from home feel.

Louise

We were absolutely thrilled with Ducklands Lodge and we will certainly be going back to stay next year. The quality, comfort, space....everything was 5 star. I have 2 friends already looking to book after me passing on my recommendations to them to stay here. The complex itself was so peaceful, well maintained and idyllic. Thank you to the owner for this amazing holiday we've had! Great price and great find!

I loved this property, very comfortable and nipping clean. There was a slight issue with the hot tub the first night but the owner got the hot tub engineer out straight away to rectify it, it could do with a hot tub lifter as its very heavy for one person to put back on. The welcome pack was a lovely touch with vino biscuits ,tea and doggy welcome pack too. lovely. The site is amazing big but very quiet as mainly privately owned lodges, which is great nice and peaceful. Lodge very well equipped, spoke with cleaner on departure, nice lady and she takes pride in her job. Definitely will be back next year again with the dogs. Heated towel rail in en suit doesn't work and a few bulbs need changing, just a note for the owner Loved it fabulous stay. Thank you Kelly Pippa and Coco the dogs

Very clean and well equipped lodge set in beautiful surroundings, would recommend a stay there

A lovely clean holuday home A thoughful welcome basket. A few of the blinds did not work properly broken . The gate latch, the screws kept working loose and the lock could fall off so having our dogs with us we had to keep checking the screws were fixed in. The site is lovely and central to where we wanted to visit. I would recommend and would definitely stay again. Thankyou.

Rachel

Duckling lodge is located in a lovely holiday park. Its a great size for small family, however lots of things needed updating. Broken toilet roll hanger, broken hoover, cupboards not aligned to use the dishwasher. But its nothing to stop you having a good time! Weve really enjoyed the week there.

We had a lovely, relaxed and comfortable stay in the duckling

I am 12 weeks pregnant and when i got there i had to clean the kitchen work tops ... I am 12 weeks pregnant and when i got there i had to clean the kitchen work tops and the hobs before we could use them and there was a bit of a horrible smell when you walked but just opening the windows sorted that out , but apart from that the stay was lovely nice and relaxing just what me and my husband needed

Alison

Not enough hangers and the problem with the dishwasher door needs to be sorted ... Not enough hangers and the problem with the dishwasher door needs to be sorted out, other than that, lovely place and ideally situated

This is a lovely location and overall great accommodation which we would visit again. Positives Lovely bedroom and ensuite Kitchen overall had everything you need Sofas have been replaced ignore reviews about this Hot tub is lovely! The decking is in shade after 5pm so good for children and pets if you want them out the heat. The umbrella under the sink it handy! The clothes airer was handy too! Tip use the pegs under the sink if you put it outside. Lovely welcome gift, wine and biscuits and mint cake. Dog bowls and a biscuit tin for dog treats was a lovely touch! The rubber mat for the dog bowl was brilliant. Negatives Oven is dirty, I washed the oven shelf and grill before using it, water was brown. Oven could do with a second shelf, Grill pan has a lump of baked on residue on it. It wont come off. No oven trays, I purchased one and left it there. Dishwasher doesnt open unless you pull the kitchen kick boards off. There is a kitchen cupboard without and handle, which cant be used. Glass in outside table was fallen through dirty and upside down. We managed to get it together and cleaned as best we could. Outside sofa was missing so we used dining chairs outside. We later found it outside the back broken. The torch referred to was missing. The lack of bins in the bathrooms was awkward at times only one bin in kitchen Only a few minor points which can be easily rectified, I would stay here again and would recommend it.
