We had a family stay over the new year, the cabin was great on all levels, spacious, very clean, nice and warm , great views over the lake, the beds where very comfortable, which is a must for me, supermarkets were only a few minutes away, I would highly recommended this cabin, marks out of 10 would be 10

“The view is absolutely breathtaking.”

The lodge has everything you need for a family to enjoy a nice holiday. The only thing that I noticed is the big spiders on the ceilings and the big bathroom not as clean on the floor. Also we had some meals at the restaurant and the meat is honestly “alive”. I don’t recommend the restaurant. Overall we had a good experience.

- Anda, October 2023

We're so glad you had a lovely holiday. Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately being surrounded by trees we do get the odd spider that loves to come indoors as the weather gets colder - we're not too keen on them either! We can reassure you all the hard floors in the lodge do get steam cleaned between each set of guests. We will also pass on your comments about your experience in the restaurant to the restaurant manager and to the holiday park team. Thank you again. Property Owner

“On suite bathroom in main bedroom had a horrible sewage smell when you flushed the toilet.”

- Fabian, August 2023

Thank you for leaving such a high score 94/100 including 100% for cleanliness. As you are aware we visited the lodge daily during your stay to perform the necessary hot tub checks and are surprised you didn't mention this smell to us at the time when you saw us. We would have had this investigated immediately. Following your departure there was no evidence of any inappropriate smell in either bathroom, and nothing has been reported by any other guests since.

“Fantastic week, thank you so much.”

Mary May 2023

“We had a lovely relaxing holiday, 7 of us ranging from nearly 2 - 91.”

The lodge is situated on the lake, couldn’t have been in a better place. It was spacious, and very well equipped. The hot tub was a hit with all of us especially my husband who suffers with his back. We were very lucky with the weather so used the outdoor space all week. The only negative is that the swimming pool wasn’t warm enough for the children and cost £20 for 2 Adults and 2 children, I appreciate there’s nothing the owners can do about that. We’ll definitely be back.

James August 2022

“Myself, my wife and our two children (11&13) had the most amazing time at Samhchair Lodge.”

The accommodation was outstanding in every way and the welcome basket was such a wonderful surprise it started the holiday off beautifully. I would highly recommend the accommodation and the site it was on to anyone. We would happily holiday there every year.

- James, August 2022

Thanks so much for your great feedback and recommendation - we're delighted you had an amazing time and look forward to welcoming you again. Property Owner

“This was our third time of staying and as usual we had a wonderful time.”

We were very happy to see you back, we are glad you had another great time. Many thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. Property Owner
Adrian May 2022

“Wonderful property, in a very picturesque setting.”

Lots of wildlife on the lake, very peaceful and quiet. A perfect place to relax and recuperate, or as a base for exploring the local area. The hot tub is a nice bonus, and the water was checked daily by the owner. I would definitely recommend, and would happily return in the future.

- Adrian, May 2022

Thanks so much for your lovely feedback we really appreciate it - we’re always delighted when folk feel they can switch off for a well deserved rest! We hope to see you again in the future. Best wishes. Property Owner
Brenda May 2022

“The lodge is gorgeous and in a prime spot for the sun all day long.”

We were greeted with a lovely welcome pack of tea, scones, jam, butter, Sal, pepper, coffee pods and proseccco. With a personalised welcome card from the owners. The hot tub was oh checked daily, whether we used it or not. The kitchen was fully fitted with almost everything you needed (we missed a pair of tongs for when we used the grill, but that’s just us). The double bed however was a bit uncomfortable, the headboard squeaked like mad when turning over, the mattress was a bit hard and the pillows need replacing ( they were flat and hard). Outside we had a big bbq with gas provided, which we enjoyed most days. But the decking is very warm and untreated, to the point it is falling apart. All that said, we didn’t let it spoil our week’s stay

- Brenda, May 2022

Thank you for your constructive feedback - so glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for letting us know you found the bed a bit uncomfortable despite the addition of the new memory foam mattress topper - we will now replace the mattress. We do wish you had let us know during your stay that the pillows were not to your taste as we have a range of pillows available. Likewise with the squeaky headboard we would have happily dealt with this for you during your stay. Please be reassured that the decking is structurally sound and regularly treated as part of the ongoing maintenance plan carried out during the warmer months, whilst always minimising disruption to all our guests.

Chris April 2022

“Lovely holiday lodge in stunning location, so relaxing.”

Lodge has everything you need for a great break, WiFi was really good allowed me to do a few hours work remotely and steam movies etc for the family. Only slight negative was the mattress on the bed in the master room isn't great, all the other beds were super comfy.

- Chris, April 2022
Karen February 2022

“Lovely lodge.”

Really clean and well equipped. I met the owner on arrival and they were both super helpful. Highly recommend

Helen December 2021

“This was one of the best properties we have stayed at on the park - and we have stayed at a few.”

Would highly recommend to others. Brilliant decorations, a welcome pack, and a really Christmassy feel. Not a single complaint!

- Helen, December 2021
Lynn December 2021

“Samhchair lodge was lovely.”

Had everything we could possibly need. Very modern. Stylish. Beds and bedding are hotel standard. We really had an amazing break. Only thing we didn’t know was the owner calls daily to check hot tub. Would be good to put on the details. And I know it’s the leisure parks rule but finding the lodges for the key in the dark could be a nuisance. Would highly recommend Samhchair lodge to stay at.

- Lynn, December 2021
Allison November 2021

“Absolutely lovely lodge - spacious, fabulous position on the lake, spotlessly clean, well equipped, comfortable beds & great welcome pack provided.”

On-site facilities also good.

- Allison, November 2021
Linda November 2021

“A lovely property in a very lovely setting.”

There was plenty of crockery etc and lots of space, everything you need really. It is a very nice site in a convenient area for the coast and the Lakes. The only downside was the leather sofas which were cold without throws and cushions. I know it was all to do with the COVID nonsense rules. It wouldn’t be a problem in the Summer.

- Linda, November 2021
John September 2021

“Really good lodge in prime position on lake.”

Comfortable beds. Good wifi and tv. Many unlabelled switches, warned by other review, we returned every switch which didn't produce results to its original position, which worked for us!. Electric fire on/off switch hidden beneath top of fire recess, then controlled by cigarette-lighter sized control. This kept us warm when..... heating and hot water failed overnight on Wednesday, out-of-date Sykes phone number in lodge literature for if we needed help was no good, fortunately we had other numbers and Sykes quickly contacted pleasant owner, who rang us, identified the fault code and two plumbers arrived within a couple of hours to fix it (low pressure). We were quite impressed. We would like to see another coffee table so both settee dwellers had somewhere to put cups, phones, books and specs. There were lots of pint glasses and huge wine ones too, but not many smaller ones for the odd G & T, Bacardi and coke or Bailey's etc. This is something we have found at many holiday rentals, they don't have to match so long as they are there! Hot tub and deck furniture excellent, fully recommended.

Christina September 2021

“We had a great holiday.”

Thank you.

John August 2021

“Fantastic property and location , we were well impressed with the overall experience, there was plenty of space indoors and out , disappointed with not been able to use the gas BBQ though , one suggestion to help the guests would be label the IMPORTANT switches, nothing was labelled and as a result we turned off the the fridge and freezer and lost all our food which was an expensive error to make.”

All in all a brilliant holiday home, sitting in the jacuzzi or on our own pier watching the sun set over the lake is a memory that will last a lifetime.

- John, August 2021
Lorraine July 2021

“Correspondence from Sykes on the run up to our hols was excellent.”

The accommodation was beautiful and had everything we needed. Lovely welcome pack for our arrival, bath and hot tub towels provided, lots of plastic plates, glasses etc for using out on the wrap around outside, and sounds daft but appreciated that it wasn't just 6 spoons, forks etc and that the owner had actually made it like a home from home with extras of so many things. We had to contact the owner once or twice re v minor things and she responded quickly and efficiently. All in all, it was a fabulous wk away and would def rebook this lodge.

- Lorraine, July 2021

Anna July 2020

“The toilet in the ensuite was blocked the whole time we did ring and someone came to fix it but it got blocked again it was blocked the whole week of our stay we even went and brought a plunger from Wickes!”

The double bed was uncomfortable and noisy every time you moved or turned over the bed squeaked and the headboard stuck to the wall making it creak.

- Anna, July 2020

Thank you for leaving feedback. If we had known the toilet had reblocked we would have sent out the plumber again. We pride ourselves in resolving any issues guests have as quickly as possible to maximise their enjoyment during their stay. Sorry the mattress wasn’t to your taste, we haven’t had any previous complaints but will now be monitoring this more carefully. Thank you again for the feeback - hope we can see you again.

Rasheed July 2020

“A wonderful week in the Lakes.”

Due to COVID-19 we had to cancel our plans in France. However, for a third of the price and booking only 3 weeks beforehand, we had a wonderful 7days. Only 2 hours from home too. Give it a try!

- Rasheed, July 2020

Thank you for the feedback - really glad you enjoyed your stay. Hope to see you again. Property Owner
