“Me, my fiance and dog stayed for 4 nights, the lodge was lovely and very clean.”

There was a thoughtful little hamper on arrival and the hot tub was a nice luxury. The site was well situated and allowed us to go on plenty of walks at ease, would definitely stay again!

“Couldn't really fault the accommodation however the only thing that could be improved is the privacy with the hot tub where you are in full sight of the main road that leads to the marina which is a busy road, I don't know if screens would be allowed but if they are then this would be a good fix.”

- Brian, May 2022

We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay at Black Dog Lodge. With regards to the hot tub unfortunately park rules prevents us from adding any screening. Look forward to welcoming you back soon. Property Owner
Christopher April 2022

“Cleaning wasn't the greatest, with black mould in the main bedroom and dog biscuits left on the floor.”

The TV didn't work from our arrival. After asking the staff at the main reception on 2 seperate occasions I was finally told sykes has their own engineers to look at it so the engineer attended quite quickly he was very pleasent and went to the office himself as he could not diagnose the issue. He was informed that they knew about the issue and would have someone out to fix the issue. No one came and i was left without a TV or WiFi for the remainder of my stay.

- Christopher, April 2022

We are sorry to hear you had an issue with the tv connection, it was actually a fault on the park that affected a number of lodges, not just Black Dog Lodge. I am very surprised to hear about the cleaning issues, however we will certainly look into this. Property Owner

“Brilliant stay at this lodge over a very hot March weekend :).”

The lodge is lovely, very clean and has everything we needed. We really enjoyed the hot tub of an evening and the little touch of snacks, dog treats and bottle of Prosecco for our arrival was very much appreciated!

Justine December 2021

“Absolutely beautiful place.”

Clean and very well looked after. Exactly as the pictures appear. Couldn't fault it one bit, our two young daughters loved it! Interior was lovely, lots of space, beds we extremely comfy (probably better than home) and an all round perfect getaway. We didn't go in the club much as the entertainment wasn't on and we got asked to leave before 10pm but we enjoyed it in the accommodation so wasn't to bothered. All in all, we would highly recommend and book again! Our friends and family are already wanting to book! :)

- Geoff, September 2021

Thank you for your feedback, it is wonderful to hear you have visited again and very much enjoyed your stay. Thirlmere is a fantastic lodge that is well looked over by the owners who take great pride in making this lodge a real home away from home. We do hope you will return for another wonderful stay.

Heather September 2021

“Cleanliness is needing attention.”

We have been to this lodge previously and was more of a 5star then, now looking about 3star. The windows/windowsills/blinds and doors didn't look as if been touched for weeks(very dirty),the bedding was clean but very washed out/grubby looking and on departure when stripping the beds the actual duvets were all stained and grubby. Also there was half used soap dispensers and shower gels in bathroom/kitchen (which with covid should be thrown away and new ones put in place for the next customers), same applies to the toilet rolls, obviously what was left from previous occupants was just left and none spare!! Just feel with what we paid wasn't up to its usual high class standards as before.

- Heather, September 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear the cleanliness was not up to our usual standard for your visit, the owners have taken this up with the cleaners directly and they have ensured it will not happen again. Following your comments on the bedding, the owners have purchased new bedding which will be delivered at the end of September. They would like to thank you for bringing it to our attention and please accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused. That said, we do hope you will return to see we take all feedback seriously and have acted on what you have said. Property Owner

“We have just returned from the most perfect holiday.”

Thirlmere Lodge is a fantastic place and we felt so lucky to be staying here. A beautifully presented lodge, with all amenities close by. The owners had thought of everything and it was like a home from home. We are really hoping to return next summer! Thank you so much

- Laura, August 2021

Thank you for the excellent review, Miss Mcneill. We are delighted to hear your holiday was perfect. Thirlmere Lodge is indeed a fantastic place to stay, the owners have indeed thought of everything! We are so pleased you are looking to return again next summer and we look forward to welcoming you. Property Owner

No complaints whatsoever.

Julie July 2021

“In a Covid world the cleaning was extremely poor.”

There were old sweets under a chair, when we walked in all doors were open except the second bedroom. Never thought anything of this until I went to put the cases in opened the door and was met with a smell of vomit. I’d taken my own dettol spray anyway with Covid so I sprayed round the room hoping to be able to use it but the stench was too much it made me feel ill and my young child was not sleeping in there. Very disappointed considering how much we paid. We usually always book for next year before we leave but not this time. We won’t be back and certainly not to this lodge.

- Julie, July 2021

We are very sorry you didn’t enjoy your stay, we will certainly look into this. Property Owner
Nicola July 2021

Cooker hood dirty when turned on dripping dirty oil toilet brush in big bathroom had poo and dirty handle we reported all this lm disabled and haven't been out my family was with me and was upset by me being upset.l was told we would be refunded for hot tub haven't yet please look into for me

- Denise, June 2021

Thank you for your feedback. I have looked in to your case further and I am sorry to hear of the issues regarding the Hot Tub on arrival. Unfortunately a part was needed to resolve this issue, which I am pleased was fitted and the hot tub was available for the remainder of your stay. I can confirm a refund has been issued for the days whereby this was unavailable, which I hope will reach you shortly. Our maintenance team member did investigate about the blocked sink reported, however a blockage couldn’t be located, which was reported back to you. Regrettably, the cleaning issues you have raised where reported after your departure. Had these been brought to our attention, we would have been happy to arrange the return of the cleaner to address these for you. Property Owner
