Snuggledown Reviews

Catrin

A completely honest review of this what could be a very nice property. Arrived to no electricity at property, property covered in dog hairs including over the bedding and sofas, dirty dishes in dishwasher not what Id expect especially with an 11 month old baby, phoned agents on arrival and had no response so had to wash bedding and clean propertystill no phone call or apology we had to chase on Monday very bad drainage smell in bathroom. I wouldnt expect to turn up to a property and have to clean and wash bedding made even worse after a long 5 hour drive. Location of property is ideal, WiFi non existent shouldnt be advertised, definitely in need of a very thorough deep clean we moved the sofa as lost a baby toy and it definitely hasnt been pulled out and cleaned under in a while think the owner needs to start spot checking their cleaners now and then if want a stress free holiday do not book this property as if you have issues youll get no help just an email with a case reference and zero apologies as apparently its acceptable to let your guests clean on arrival. Various bulbs out in property and visual signs of a roof leak.

Snuggledown was excellent, as described, spacious, clean & modern, we enjoyed being there.

Natalie

We had a lovely stay at this lodge. Beautiful surroundings and great location and clean site. If you want somewhere with good internet this would be it if you need to work whilst away. But for a nice location and caravan beautiful. I would say the worst part of this was the company for lack of communication and not getting back to me when I had a problem with the caravans plumbing

Jennifer

Hi loved staying at snuggle down very cosy and neat me and my family fitted in ... Hi loved staying at snuggle down very cosy and neat me and my family fitted in well everything was so stylish and put out brilliant we will deffo be booking Infure wanna the best loaders so far we stayed in

Robyn-leigh

We had an amazing stay at Snuggledown everything was perfect! We will 100 be booking to stay again in the near future. A gorgeous lodge in a perfect location, the lodge was everything we needed for our time in the lakes. Beautifully decorated and super cosy! Mattress in the main bedroom is slightly lumpy but this could easily be fixed with a mattress topper. Couldnt fault anything else.

Rebecca

This our second time staying at Snuggledown lodge. The lodge is well equipped and has everything you need. It is very spacious, comfortable and homely and is perfect if you are bringing the dog. However, the lodge is in desperate need of a new mattress in the main bedroom as you can feel the springs. It also could have done with a deep clean as it was a little dusty on arrival. Sadly, we did feel that the holiday park wasn't as peaceful as our first experience and we purposely booked in early March in the hope we would have a quiet break.

Just to note the mattress in main bedroom possibly needs replacing. Everything else was great, kids loved it, the dog loved it and we really enjoyed our stay.

Kimberley

Great stay the mattresses are in need of an upgrade but other than that everything else was wonderful

Sharon

Great week spent in Snuggledown, lodge was clean and cosy and had everything we needed. Couple of issues but reported and were dealt with straight away, it would have been nice for a small welcome pack ! Welcome file was in box needs to be left out.

Was not happy with skyes cottages after you book with them you can't get in touch with them either by email or phone or text message after you book with them very disappointed in them the accommodation was lovely to stay in phyllis

Carole

Our fourth time on this site but different accommodations. We have 2 dogs and one is very nervous. On entering the property the dogs welfare and also any hope of a restful holiday for us humans is on our minds and we all agreed Oh wow, floor to ceiling blinds! based on a quieter part of the park. As well as all the expected things like clean, comfortable, dog friendly as in easy to keep clean with a decent vac. We loved our time at snuggledown and have already booked for next year. A couple of things not quite right the freezer had drawers that had frozen closed, but still had some I could use and the bed mattress is getting to the end of its time but still comfortable enough. Any reactive dog owners will understand that if it's perfect for the dogs it's perfect for us. See you next year.

Malcolm

Everything you need in lodge really well stocked with all cutlery cleaning products really good location of the lodge but what was a big let down was the cleanliness of the lodge . Put clothes in draws and cupboards when getting then out there was dust and bits all over clean clothes. Hairs all over the furniture found other guest left belongings in various places throughout the lodge. Carpets were filthy had to clean them ourselves which isn't good. If lodge had been clean it would have been perfect . Very happy with everything else but so unhappy about the cleanliness which has put us off about returning

Pauline

Snuggle down was a brilliant lodge it had everything we needed for our break away, it was lovely and clean we couldnt fault it at all we would definitely recommend it and would definitely stay in the future.

Josephine

Just had a weeks stay, the lodge was very clean, comfortable and cozy, with 3 adults and a dog there was plenty of room. 5 minute walk to the lake, great location to get around the Lake District.

We had a great time. The property had everything you could want. The beds were comfortable and it was a bonus having 2 bathrooms. We just loved the setting, lots of wildlife and just a 5 minute walk to the lake. It was a great base to get to other places. We thoroughly enjoyed our break and will certainly book again but for longer

Snuggledown was clean and comfortable, we throughly enjoyed our stay. It had everything we needed, WIFi was poor but it did not spoil the holiday. Snuggledown was a perfect location for exploring the beautiful Lake District.

Nicola

Property was beautiful and was amazing to find things like washing up liquid, tea towels etc already provided. Little touches like this really make the difference. The downside was I dont feel like it had been sufficiently cleaned prior to arrival. There was lots of dog hairs on the furniture and on the floor in the living area.

We had a fantastic week in this lovely lodge. It was clean, comfortable and well furnished. The location is in a peaceful part of the park. The lodge has everything you need for your stay and the kitchen is well equipped. Owners were really helpful when we contacted Sykes with a query. Thanks again

Bought this break as a present for my parents in their 7080s. They absolutely loved it. It was perfect & they can't wait to go back. The setting was beautiful & accommodation spot on. Not a thing to criticise. Even the weather played ball!!

Danielle

The lodge was clean tidy and in a great location

Me and my partner and 2 dogs stayed here for the weekend, our 2 friends came to visit, this lodge is exactly like the photos, so homely had everything you could need, very spacious, the only downfall I had was that the mattresss werent comfortable, and I noticed that there was a lot of flies appearing in the main bathroom, however they are my only issues, would definitely recommend and rebook!

Robert

Wasnt happy that I had to clear the decking of the lodge from dog mess on arrival , sent pictures and reported this and was told basically it wasn't sykes fault so basically tough. My concern is if this is expected what else is being overlooked regarding cleanliness. Rest of holiday was really enjoyable

Kimberley

Lovely stay really comfortable and clean this was one of the best we have stayed in

We really enjoyed our stay at snuggledown, wonderful lodge in a peaceful location within the park, and just a short walk to the edge of lake Windermere! We came up from the midlands to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary with our two dogs, and would definitely recommend to anyone considering visiting the lakes.

Stephen

Real issues with cleanliness in the lodge. Really disappointing to see a similar review in the last month that mirrors our experience. We moved the small sofa so not to get a bad neck due to the height of the TV. All sorts of rubbish and dog hair under there, same behind the large sofa had to use the hoover ourselves to clean up. The windows in the living room are covered in cobwebs on the inside. The oven wasn't clean, very obvious to see how dirty the glass was when the light came on. The blinds in the main bedroom do not work, so are permanently down. The bathroom with the bath in, regularly smells of drains, particularly when it rains. We did experience the 'fridge rattle' looks like lots of previous occupants have tried to fix the issue with kitchen roll stuffed in the frame, we've added our contribution. A real shame other people have commented on these issues but it would appear no action has been taken to fix the issues. Could be a nice lodge if these issues are resolved, but currently many nicer options on this site we've tried many over the last 10 years

Louise

We had a fantastic time in this lovely lodge in the lakes. It was super cosy, comfy and clean. Couldn't fault it for what we needed thank you.

Lovely lodge that was very well equipped

Sheila

Very comfortable only one problem the television high on the wall coursed us to have problems with our neck watching it, although there was a problem with the blind in the main bedroom contacting Sykes was a problem, we did try telephone ,email, and text to no avail, the staff from Parkdene were very helpful and managed to get contact after a long time, with Sykes, and the same day a man arrived and tried to repair it this had been broken on our arrival.

The cabin was very nice indeed. Clean and modern. Contained all kitchen and bedroom facilities required

Portia

Property was beautifully furnishedpresented and location was great for families. Sadly the kitchen is a little lacking of basic items for example there was no potato peeler, and only 3 drinking glasses. All items in kitchen were dirty with dried on food and stains when we arrived, so had to put through several dishwasher loads to clean them. The en suite had a very strong smell of urine. Other than these items that can be easily remedied with better cleaning, the lodge itself was lovely and we would recommend.

Dorothy

We had a lovey stay at Snuggledown We thought the pictures on the advert looked great but when we arrived it look so comfortable and clean. The location is perfect. We know the area quite well But managed to find new places. One slight problem with a blind on the floor when we arrived. I called the maintenance number and they were there within the hour and it was promptly fixed. We would love to stay again.

Loved it wonderful location

Fantastic property faultless, very clean and comfortable, very well equipped with every utensil needed for your stay. This is also in a fantastic location and on a lovely site. 100 recommended this cabin for a peaceful and relaxing break, if returning to the Lake District I would book this cabin again.

Snuggle down is a beautiful lodge,very clean in a lovely setting not only did our 10 year old daughter enjoy her stay but so did our puppy Tilly. Everybody who meet were so welcoming & we would definitely go again.
