Waterside Lodge Reviews

Had a wonderful stay at this lodge. The location was excellent, with beautiful surroundings that made the experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing. Would happily return in the future. Highly recommended!

Arrived to a very cold lodge. Thermostat set at 5 took hours to warm up. Didnt use hot tub as it also required heating up and is very overlooked. Christmas morning 2am woke up freezing the boiler conked out googled how to restart and was told because it had no pressure to phone somene which we did. Luckily the park had someone there in about 20 minutes who started it back up and showed me how to restart it. That was handy as it conked out twice more. So no sleep that night. We also booked this Lodge based on laundry machines being on the park as we are travelling from Canada and needed clean clothes. The facilities were closed on Wednesday when we carted our clothes over to it not to open again till the Saturday we were leaving. This was not convenient. This accomadation was one of three places we rented this trip and it was by far the worst.

Comfy sofa with nice views of lake. Plenty of dvds and hot tub useful. Unfortunately setting thermostat at 5 degrees meant when we arrived the accommodation was at 5 degrees. It took until overnight to warm up. I have never stayed in accommodation where the thermostat is set so low. I would suggest that it is set up when guests are due to arrive as the hot tub was set up to temperate so that should be also possible. Also surprised no other mention of the road noise and train track sound which is prevalent when outside.

Fantastic little lodge. Great location. Nice and quiet. Well maintained. All in just a great week away in a well looked after and loved lodge.

Rachel

We had a wonderful stay at Waterside Lodge. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you need, it was spotlessly clean throughout, plenty of towels, decent beds and a fabulous hot tub! The site was very quiet with a small park for children, but plenty of ducks and rabbits to keep them entertained. Would highly recommend.

Ashley

Fabulous stay at this cute lodge. Comfortable cosy relaxing just perfect .

Michael

Excellent accommodation. Clean, comfortable and well equipped. Site is quiet and the out door facilities in both the lodge itself and the site are great

Thank you for a lovely get away. The lodge was extremely comfortable and homely and the site, and the staff were helpful. Special mention goes to Sam who worked in the barrestaurant who was very helpful and friendly and made us feel welcome. Food in the restaurant was also of a high standard. The hot tub was beautiful and clean and the beds were comfy. Thank you for a great stay and experience and we will be returning again at some point next year.

Michael

Place needs a thoroughly deep clean. Cobwebs everywhere, freezer door ajar and completely frosted up with old ice creams in, spent first 90 minutes of holiday defrosting it. Oven doesnt work as you cant control the gas setting, stains all over the mattress topper in main bedroom, filthy cushions. Property owner doesnt care and took forever to respond to issues raised. Offered a derisory 30 as compensation and said they will have to pay the cleaner extra because we hadnt vacated the lodge by the 10am checkout time. Dont waste your money visiting this lodge

Hayley

Property owner was very helpful and prompt with dealing with the heating problem that we had. The location was beautiful with a great view of the pond. Couldn't ask for anything more.

We stayed at the Waterside lodge for 4 nights. The lodge was very comfortable and clean and overlooked a pond with plenty of wildlife.Despite the dodgy weather we managed to use the hot tub which was very nice.The restaurantpub is literally across the road and does an excellent breakfast.Onsite there is a swimming pool and gym which can be used for a small fee.Overall our stay at the Waterside lodge was excellent and relaxing and we will definitely be rebooking to stay here again. Billy and Alison Webster.

Just arrived home after a lovely 4 day break away at this property. All 4 of us had such an amazing time and the only regret was not staying for longer! The lodge itself was extremely clean and very homely as soon as you walk through the door. If I had any constructive criticism it would be that there wasn't enough toilet roll and no recycling facilities. Other than that no complaints from any of us! The hot tub was well worth booking, as a group we spent a lot of our time in the hot tub which was too good to get out of! We would 1000 return and would highly recommend this lodge for anybody else looking to book! Thank you for your hospitality!!!!!

We had an amazing stay at the lodge. It was in such a quiet and relaxing park and the pitch itself looking out at the small pond was wonderful. Just what we needed for our escape. I hadnt realised the access to the pool wasnt included or that day passes literally meant you could come and go both of these things would have been helpful to know as 25 a go for a family for a swimming session adds up. However the pool and facilities were very good and we did use them. Including visiting the lovely restaurant. The hot tub is very large and was a wonderful addition. The main reason we booked! As well as outdoor seating that we were able to use in the April sunshine!!! The bathroom with a BATH was superb and additional ensuite just made everything more comfortable for us. Your selection of games and especially dvds went down so well. The van was fully equipped and we really enjoyed the stay. Nearest shopsupermarket is Tescos approximately 10 minute drive which is useful and the drive to beaches including Morecambe was only short which meant getting out and enjoying the sea air was easy. There was a manual for everything in the van plus taxi numbers, places to visit etc which meant not having to do the leg work yourself. You cant wish for more from a booking. Peaceful and almost perfect.

Absolutely superb accommodation and so well equipped. Possibly the best holiday my wife and I have had in 36 years together. We intend to rebook for a fortnight in next June. Keep the hot tub hot ! Only suggestion I could suggest, as a nondriver without our own transport, is that the information folder provided in the property could include local Taxi numbers, Carnforth and a rough map of where to get on the 555 bus service. We found that out for ourselves eventually but knowing it from the word go would have made the first day easier..

We had an amazing weekend thank you so much. Only problem was we didnt book long enough We will and already have recommended the lodge to friends and family and will be returning. Thank you
