Lakeshaven Reviews

The property was not cleaned properly before we arrived there was dog muck all around deck area which we cleaned up. There was a power cut on Friday when we arrived, in addition I would like to know which light and fixing was broken, as we did a clean sweep of the property before we left and there was no visible damage. If this is the way Parkdean looks after their customer, then I am very disappointed with the way they treat customers. As we booked with Sykes cottages l am also disappointed you would not take my call. If this is the level of service you provide when customers have issues, I would not recommend your company to friends and family

Lovely spacious clean lodge in a peaceful setting. very well equipped would stay again.

During what was a very warm week the shade provided by total tree cover over the lodge was very welcome. Club bar restaurant appeared under staffed throughout our stay to the point service was poor at best staff struggling to cope with demand. Great base for exploring all the Lakes have to offer and proximity to Windermere and Bowness was great. Would I return Yes

1. Mens undies found in drawer. 2. Ensuite shower tray was blocked and would not drain. 3, Used soap found in shower caddy in EnSuite. 4. WiFi utterly useless, even the TV would not work. 5. When booking the description said there was a coffe machine, there was no such thing and it mysteriously disappeared from the descripton. 6. When booking the description said there was membership for Troutbeck Bridge spa, but this also disappeared after we arrived. Totaly dissapointed with the lodge, its SUPPOSED amenities that were not actually there and the sub standard of cleaning. We even telephoned the cleaning staff as per THEIR notice on the wall on arrival, but they never got beck to us. Would NOT recommend this lodge to anyone, and will not be staying again.

What a fantastic lodge visited with my daughter, daughter in law and twin baby granddaughters. Lodge is big enough to accommodate their prams etc. very clean and well appointed lodge. Our visit was during the June heatwave but due to being under a lot of trees the lodge remained cool and comfortable. Would recommend stay here x

It was great spacious, comfy, well equipped. A really great lodge.

We had a lovely short stay at Lakeshaven. The property was lovely and clean and had lovely extra touches. We enjoyed the games from the cupboard which provided lots of fun when the weather wasnt on our side. The property was well equipped and we had everything we needed. The weather wasnt the warmest during our stay and found that perhaps the heating wasnt working as efficiently as it should, but as we were in and out and only staying for a short time this wasnt a big issue. Great location a short walk from Brockholes which was great for the kids.

Whitehaven was a lovely property very warm and cosy, with everything we needed for our stay there, with a nice homely feel to it, I have already recommended it to relations who enjoyed looking at some of the photos we had taken, Thankyou for a lovely holiday, look forward to coming back! !

Stunning property surrounded by beautiful trees , will definitely go back .

This was in a great location to explore the Lakes and is a bus stop a short walk away of you dont want to drive. Heading into Windermere there is a petrol station with a Spar attached which is a well stocked shop and reasonably priced too. The site is great for families, young couples and older ones too with a lovely walk to the marina. The lodge had little extras that they dont mention, such as A cupboard with games in for those rainy nights Feeding bowels for dogs, a couple of leads and poo bags in case you forgot yours. When we went there was salt, pepper, foil and washing up liquid which was a great help. The kitchen is fully stocked with plates, chops, glasses and utensils and pans etc and there is a dishwasher too. This was a great stay which was reasonably priced too. The only downside is its made me want to buy a lodge on the resort.

We found when we arrived at the lodge that the dishes were unclean and needed to be washed first before use and the bin in the kitchen needs a good wash as it is really smells. The fridge is not cool enough the keep food fresh and the kitchen sink needs fixed as it is leaking all over the worktop. The shower in the e suite needs repaired as not secured on wall. The location of lodge is lovely could do with a side table to ho with the outdoor chairs.

We loved staying at Lakeshaven. We didn't want to go home! Very comfortable and spacious lodge! Highly recommend staying there to anyone! The lake was a short walk to the marina! We will absolutely come back again when we can!

The property was very clean, tidy and well equipped will everything we needed. We really enjoyed playing scrabble thank you that was a lovely surprise. We loved the private position of the cabin and the surrounding trees. We would highly recommend the cabins to all staying at White Cross Bay. For future renters we didnt realise we could catch the bus out the front of the park back into Windermere. We loved the bus trip to Keswick in Stage coaches excellent value at 3 pounds each.

Our stay at Lakeshaven was excellent, we arrived on time and the instructions provided by Sykes via the app was excellent. The property had everything for our stay and we really enjoyed the location high up on the hill looking over the park, it was beautiful. We would highly recommend this and we would definitely stay again if we visit Windermere again because it was a perfect location to visit all the attractions, clean and a very well looked after property, the owner has done an excellent job and thank you so much.

This is our 5th stay in the lodge the location is fabulous for exploring the area either on foot, public transport or by car. The accommodation is everything you need, well equipped and clean. The thank you card and bottle of fizz was a nice treat. Looking forward to our next holiday there x

Had a lovely stay at this gorgeous holiday home Catered for our every need , lovely and spacious and thought of everything . All kitchen and bathroom accessories available . I would just mention the toilet flush in the ensuite which isnt the best but the main bathroom toilet was fine . Would definitely recommend, great value for money and would hope to return again ! Thank you for a wonderful stay

We had auch a lovely stay! Was very clean and had everything you need! Would hope to come back again!

Another fantastic stay will be back next year Sharon

Great lodge, great park. We took the our dog and they had left treats and poo bags. There was plenty cleaning supplies. The pubrestaurant was a 2 minute walk from the lodge. Great stay, would like to visit again.

Great lodge. Owners have thought of everything. Fully equipped and loved how much they catered for dogs. Included bowls and treats etc. Lodge was lovely and clean when we arrived. Only thing we found was the toilets didnt flush the best but unsure if that is a site thing rather than just the lodge. Would stay again.

We had a great stay and will definitely come back in future.

We would recommend this gorgeous lodge and resort for any family. We truely had a magical time and made lots of beautiful memories. The lodge itself was lovely and relaxing. We were there when it was very sunny so to have decking in the shade was a comfort to us. My only recommendations would be blankets as additional snuggle comfort but that was our preference. There was also no BBQ drum albeit it didnt impact. Overall fantastic

The holiday cottage was generally nice the only disappointments were that cleanliness fell quite below standards ie there were dirty seat covers for the dinning table, chairs one bath towel was very dirty and the supply of towels for a family of 5 for four days was very very short indeed and there were quite a few cobb webbs on the lights on the bedrooms ceilings.

First class stay as always will be back soon

On suite toilet does not flush properly , we had to fill a bucket of water to pour it down the toilet to flush it . The extractor fan over the oven had no bottom grill on it and was full of spider webs . The good side, when we arrived the lodge was lovely and warm and a nice welcoming light was on . The xmas tree was a lovely touch too .

Such a beautiful lodge, had everything we needed. This was our first time at Lakeshaven and I cant wait to go back. Surrounded one side with trees made it feel so cosy. Inside was very clean and tidy, beautifully decorated.

A good sized, clean, well equipped lodge in a lovely, wooded part of the park. It was warm and there was plenty of hot water. It does smell quite doggy so great for pets but may need to avoid if you have allergies. The toilet in the master ensuite does not flush properly & the shower head keeps slipping down so difficult to shower under. Needs a new tin opener & some sharper knives, had to hack the vegetables apart when cooking

First class will be back soon

Lovely lodge. Felt like you were in a tree house Very clean and cosy, the only thing would be that the two twin beds were not comfy, but everything else was great!

The location was perfect under the canopy of trees, very cosy inside we had a great time. Although the first week of school holidays we were well away from the crowds. Second time at White Cross and are back again At Christmas

The cottage was everything and more than we expected. The location was perfect for our little break, the cleanliness was immaculate the ease of check in and out was seamless and we will definitely be staying again

Beautiful lodge, location in the park was great couldnt fault the cleanliness and what was provided. Will definitely be returning at sometime in the near future. Only minor point was that the toilet in the on suite bathroom didnt flush great, but even if not fixed it wouldnt stop me from booking again.

The home was fine, just a couple of points there was only 2 toilet rolls supplied, the hot tap in the bath wouldnt work unless you had it on really slow took an age to fill the bath. No bags left to put the laundry in when beds stripped etc

Everything was perfect cleaning, well equipped, location and the instructions for check in and out. We really enjoyed The only issue that u may face if you have kids and you are planning to stay more than 3 days, there is no washing machine otherwise the cottage is well prepared for kids under 2 year Of course will book it again thank you

Lovely holiday property, comfortable and plenty of room for ourselves and our 3 children!

Lodge is lovely and provides everything you could need during your time away. Beds are super comfortable and towels and linens are all provided which is helpful. More attention to detail could be be taken with cleaning as there were lots of cobwebs on the inside of the window frames throughout and the oven definitely needs a deep clean! Shower heads were also bit dirty but overall the bathrooms were clean and bright. Fridge could maybe also be doing with being replaced as it didn't seem to keep things cold. Park feels like a bit of a maze when you first arrive as lodges are tucked away all over the place but once you get your bearings, it's lovely to walk around especially down at the marina.

The holiday park did not have the spa which is still advertised. Service in the clubhouse was not great as they were short staffed but all very friendly Cabin was lovely and clean Excellent location to explore the lake Windermere

We had wonderful time here. Our only comment on the Lodge is it is rather tired looking but still comfortable for a good stay

Fantastic long weekend, cabin was great would happily stay here again.
