“The lodge is on a nice park near the centre of Bowness.”

I do agree with other reviews that the sofas in the lounge are well past their best and very uncomfortable, definitely need replacing. The rest of the accommodation was okay and well equipped.

- Karen, June 2022
Linda May 2022

“Nicely positioned for town and views.”

Clean comfortable and quiet. We had a lovely 4 days . Will be back.

- Linda, May 2022

We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay. The lodge is in an ideal location, a few minutes walk to the lake and facilities on the park and a few minutes more into the centre of Bowness. We looked forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner
Paul April 2022

“We’ve stayed 4 times and really like the property, there are a few things that I think would benefit from being looked into to keep it attractive - toilet cistern in en suite needs replacing as it doesn’t fill.”

- couches are not comfortable. Would benefit from better support. We always bring cushions to improve the comfort of these. - bbq tools require replacing.

- Paul, April 2022

Thank you Paul for taking time to give this helpful feedback and high score. We look all the time at how we can keep the lodge in optimum condition. Over your 4 visits you will no doubt have seen this. We always aim to achieve the highest standards for our guests. Property Owner
John March 2022

“Was disappointed to have no internet access at the property throughout our stay which is obviously listed in the brochure.”

On the night before our departure, the heating system went off, so we had no hot water or heating. The fault was a F1 problem (low water pressure) with the boiler…I tried to reset the boiler but it did not work. We contacted the emergency numbers provided but it didn’t help us on our departure day.

- John, March 2022

Thank you for your feedback. However, we were never contacted by you at any point during the week regarding either the internet or boiler issue. In the event there is a problem at the lodge, the Park support staff are on hand to provide necessary assistance. If you had called us we could have contacted them to assist with the issue.. We visited the lodge yesterday for our regular check and the boiler was fully working - both hot water and heating. As regards the internet this can be accessed via the Park Owners Wi Fi connection. Details of which are in the Guest Information Pack, as is our contact number. Property Owner

“This booking was originally made for April 2020, the booking had to be moved due to COVID restrictions but at no point was I offered a refund, in fact I had to pay another £600 to move it.”

I will not use Sykes again because of this

- Ben, August 2021

Hello Mr Deeble April bookings are cheaper than those for August. We are pleased that you enjoyed the lodge and we appreciate the high ratings given. Property Owner
Nadeem August 2021

“Absolutely loved our stay at the cottage.”

Whilst there we looked to book for the following year but already fully booked at times we could go. The cottage was comfortable, warm, clean and provided everything we needed. The cleaning bits left on the sink was a nice touch. Beds were super comfy and would defo book again. If had to provide any feedback of points which could have added to our experience then perhaps a bag of ice provided in the freezer, the remote control for the tv in the lounge was not working which meant we generally watched one channel but not a major issue. Did mean to lick up some batteries but forgot. The decking outside was in need of a good jet wash with all the trees around but not a major point again. Overall loved the cottage and well positioned on the site with a small glimpse of the lake abs very convenient for Bowness!

- Nadeem, August 2021
Angela May 2021

“We spent a week at this lovely lodge accommodation at Fallbarrow Park in Bowness.”

The lodge was clean and provided everything we needed. The beds are extremely comfortable and the quality bedlinen was appreciated as were the toiletries. There is a large verandah with outdoor seating and a barbecue. I would be happy to recommend this lodge.

- Angela, May 2021
Julie May 2021

Michael September 2020

“Great location, very quiet spot ideal for a relaxing break with all the amenities of Bowness a short walk away.”

We really enjoy staying in this lodge.

- Michael, September 2020
David September 2020

“Lovely site and great lodge, some ceiling lights in living area, guest bedroom not working, drop down lights in kitchen area and outside of main entrance not working.”

Apart from that we all had a lovely time in the lodge and exploring the site. Great location looking forward to our next visit soon.

- David, September 2020
Sandra September 2020

“The amenities in the park were very good, the staff were very helpful and pleasant.”

- Sandra, September 2020
Martyn September 2020

“High quality accommodation but a little irritating in places.”

Some light bulbs had gone, the water pressure in the showers was non existent, the front door lock was really hard to lock from the inside, in fact the whole place just needed a bit of TLC, which I guess would come at the end of the season? The (very sparse) instruction folder, in the lounge, was sadly lacking with regard the operation of the fire in the lounge and the central heating and any useful information about the area or good ideas of where to go etc. Wi-fi on site is appalling so do not rely on it. You can see about 5 square feet of the lake through the trees, so i suppose the lake views claim is valid, albeit tongue in cheek. A nice touch with the sanitiser and dishwasher tablets provided and very comfortable beds, overall highly recommended. Ideally located with a 2 minute walk into Bowness

- Martyn, September 2020
Paul August 2020

“Excellent Lodge, clean and comfortable, loved the BBQ and decking area.”

Well equipped, Excellent location on the site, we felt very Covid safe in the Cafe and Bar on site and in the restaurants and bars in Bowness, which is only a short stroll away, however the public have decided that Covid no longer exists while they’re on holiday so be prepared for no social distancing whilst walking around Bowness, but the shops, bars and restaurants are following the rules as far as we could see. We will definitely book the lodge again.

- Paul, August 2020
James August 2020

“Words and pictures do not do this lodge justice.”

...its simply perfect in every way. Our experience from start to finish was first class, with the accommodation pristine and equip with everything you'd need. The location offers you a glimpse of the lake from the decking, with the shores of the lake 5 mins walk away, where we were able to launch our small boat from the private jetty. The Park itself is extremely well kept and all staff were friendly and helpful whilst taking the necessary Covid-19 precautions. Bowness town is a 5 minute walk away and had a great range of shops, restaurants and bars. My family and I have made some great memories and this location and lodge were a great base to do so.

- James, August 2020
Anthony July 2020

“Welcome pack folder needs to be more visible in the lodge.”

Only found it on last day as it was in a drawer under a table. Need better system for checking out / key drop when leaving. Long queues in reception with only 1 person ever serving.

- Anthony, July 2020
Gordon July 2020

“Beautiful site and perfect location on windermere, very easy and quick walk to town.”

Very friendly staff on site. Lodge in excellent location on site, great outside decking and can just see lake from deck. Brand new bbq looks great! Parking is tight but we got 2 suv's in without problem. Very comfortable beds and bedding, very nice that toiletries, towels, loo roll, washing up stuff etc are supplied. Dishwasher was broken (note from owners advised waiting replacement). Lodge starting to look a little bit tired in a few spots, laminate just starting to lift in kitchen area, lighting not all working. A small bit of tlc just needed to bring the lodge back to top notch.

Alison June 2019

“Kitchen was really well equiped, The whole lodge was very clean.”

Great powerful hot shower. The location was fantastic, less than a 5 min walk into Bowness on Windermere. We were also able to launch our kayak direct onto the lake from the site.

- Alison, June 2019
Debbie June 2019

“The boiler in the lodge was not working when we arrived due to no water in the system.”

When we rang the owner he talked us through filling the system up which we did and then water started coming out the bottom of the boiler. He did not seemed fazed by this and I believe it has been happening for a while. The owner said the plumber would be out on Monday (we arrived on a Saturday) we were there for a week and no sign of a plumber or anymore contact with the owner. We had to top the boiler up every couple of days. We had no issues with this but other guests may find this a challenge every other day. The lodge its self was very clean and well equipped.

- Debbie, June 2019

Thank you for your feedback. As discussed during our telephone conversation, a plumber attended to the boiler on the Monday as described and rectified the problem. We are pleased that you otherwise found the lodge well equipped and hope you enjoyed your break. Property Owner
Julie May 2019

“The cabin was fantastic, the location was wonderful.”

We could not have wished for anything better. I will deffinately be booking again.

Kresna April 2019

“Lovely cottage with partial view of the lake from the living room.”

Comfortable rooms, good shower/bathroom facilities, all within a few minutes' walk to the centre of Bowness. Had a leak from the dishwasher despite having not used it once, called the owner who saw to it immediately and sent someone over to fix a problem with one of the drain pipes. Slight inconvenience caused but good to see they tended to the problem promptly. Only improvement needed is the standard of cleaning, particularly the floor and the kitchen/living room area. The coffee table and sofas were dirty with sticky marks on them, the floor rug is filthy and just serves to collect dirt and dust and both the kitchen worktops and abinet handles were dirty. Floor looks dirty and I'd expect it to be washed and sanitised in between bookings. The hoover was so filthy that I simply could not use it! Not a 4 star standard of cleanliness but it could be with the right standards applied!

- Kresna, April 2019

Our aim is to make sure every guest has a wonderful time staying in the lodge and enjoying the fabulous location. We are sorry to hear the standard of cleaning fell short of our usual very high standards on this occasion. We thank you for bringing it to our notice Property Owner
Denise December 2018

“We were put into the wrong lodge.”

We had to pack up everything and move lodges the following morning. Someone had been into the first lodge whilst we were out, complete invasion of our privacy, I was horrified. 2nd Lodge, BH9, had a dirty sock and crisps under one sofa and the skirting boards were filthy, hadn't seen a duster in months. We also had a puddle of water in the living area, we think it was a leak from the radiator. No foil for grilling. Not the weekend we were expecting to be honest.

“Holiday Lodge was excellent and in a great location.”

.... Facilities on the holiday Park were average.... Wi-fi at the property was intermittent.... Too expensive overall compared to other Sykes cottages that we have stayed in...

- Gillian, September 2018
Saad June 2018

“The bed in the main room is very small, it is not enough for couple.”

Some time the weather is hot so i think you need to provide AC or at least fan in the cottage

- Saad, June 2018

Thank you for your feedback. I am surprised you found any of the beds small for your use. The main bedroom has a full size double and the second and third bedrooms full size single beds. Given normal Lake District weather we have not previously had requests for air conditioning etc Many thanks Property Owner
Alison December 2017

“Fantastic lodge next to Lake Windermere, and within a few minutes walk into Bowness.”

The Lodge was spotlessly clean and had everything we could possibly have needed. The living / dining area was spacious enough for 5 adults and the bedrooms were extremely comfy, and the TV's in each bedroom were a great bonus. We had a slight problem with the heating, but after a quick phone call to the owner this was rectified promptly, even on Christmas Eve! We had a lovely break and would highly recommend Beech Lodge to anyone planning a visit to the Lake District.

- Alison, December 2017
Jason November 2017

“The lodge was nice and comfortable its location was great just a few minutes walk into town.”

The TV was a bit hard to watch as it kept freezing due to the weather. Unfortunately the British weather did its worst and after 4 days of constant rain we called it a day and went home early but had no complaints at all about the lodge or it setting.

- Jason, November 2017

“Stunning location, lodge was very well equipped and was extremely comfortable.”

Very short walk into Bowness which was perfect for what we needed, nice quiet park and the lake was just stunning. We had a fabulous time it was a shame we couldn't stay longer.

Henry October 2016

“My wife and I have been looking for this type of location for years and although having stayed in this area before, we were not aware of this holiday park and its superb location.”

The property at Beech Hill Lodge was excellent, very comfortable and had everything we required with a high quality of extras (i.e. not cheap cutlery and items which you would not have at home). Apart from the property the location allowed us to relax and enjoy a stress free holiday. The fact that we did not require to drive every day and were only a 5 minute walk into town for all the facilities was excellent. Also the location of the park on the shore of Lake Windermere was lovely and you could enjoy a nice walk without actually leaving the park. Overall the property and park were excellent and we will most likely return in the future.

Joanne March 2016

“The proximity of the lodge to Bowness could not have been any better.”

We arrived on the Saturday and didn't use the car until the Wednesday which gave us a rest from our long drive! The Lakes themselves never fail to deliver. Just beautiful!

- Joanne, March 2016
Kathleen March 2016

“A very comfortable lodge which was nice and warm with comfortable beds.”

Everything was first class. In an excellent position with a view of the lake too. Would certainly recommend people to rent the lodge. It was only a walk to the ferry, town centre and shops so no need to always take the car.

- Kathleen, March 2016
Craig December 2015

“The accommodation was clean and tidy.”

It was in a great spot, meaning that we could explore the local surroundings. I could find no faults at all. When we arrived, we found that the information we were given about the lodge and site was accurate and everything went well.
