Top stay

Excellent for someone with a disability although not huge amounts of room if you needed to remain in a wheelchair. There is a wonderful carpet but again the hinders wheelchair use in the lodge as I would have been concerned about ruining the carpet with a dirty chair - and it was wet during our stay! Very well equipped with the general stuff. A modestly priced lodge which was perfectly acceptable.

Beautiful lodge

Lovely lodge lots of room. Hot tub amazing. Master bedroom mattress is hard and springy so couldn’t sleep on it. The other room had good mattresses. Apart from that everything was great. Really good location to the club house.

Review date: 25th August 2019

Thank you for your review Charlotte, we are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay in Easedale Lodge. We are sorry you found the master bedroom mattress to be too hard for you, although comfort can be a personal preference, we have passed your comment to the lodge owners for their information. Thank you for letting us know and please accept our apologise for any inconvenience caused. Easedale is a wonderfully spacious two-bedroom lodge and with a hot tub too- whats not to love! We do hope we will be welcoming you back in the future for another wonderful stay.

Another fab holiday in the Lakes

We have stayed in this lodge previously and had a great experience so we were happy to rebook. The shower in the bathroom seems to work better now, not an extreme jump from very hot to very cold quickly, which is good. The beds are comfy and the hot tub is excellent. The location of the lodge in the park is ideal, very central. My only gripe would be there has been additional outdoor couch seating added since last year on the decking at the front and the table which we sat at every day has been shoved round the side of the decking near the main door, which doesn’t get the sun so we didn’t get to eat out on the decking as much. I feel this additional furniture is not needed.

Thank you for your review, Lucy. We are so pleased to hear you had another fab holiday in the Lakes. Easedale is an excellent choice for those looking for a comfortable two bedroom lodge with hot tub and a spacious decking. A great place to stay! With regard to the additional outside furniture, we shall advise the lodge owner of all you have said. We shall also take a look to see what we can do. Thank you for letting us now. On a better note we are delighted you enjoyed your stay - and hot tub. We look forward to welcoming you again soon.

Love the location

The lodge itself was in a perfect location and sitting on the decking was excellent when the sun came out. The bathroom was perfect for my needs. We loved the lodge itself and technically it is fully accessible it's just unfortunate that the owners have put a very thick carpet throughout the lodge!! Apart from in kitchen and bathroom areas. I went from being independent to totally dependent on my partner for everything as I couldn't push myself as the carpet was too thick!! Why would anyone install a thick carpet in a wheelchair accessible lodge is beyond me. If it was the carpet as you go in the front door of the lodge that would have been manageable but you would think flooring would have been more practical as I can't take my wheels off if they get dirty the way people can take their shoes off!! So the day we got caught in the rain I was worried about going into the lodge Incase I got the carpet dirty. I do have a picture but there isn't anywhere that I can upload it on this form. If the carpet issue was addressed then we would love to return as the lodge itself is brilliant!!! We would probably book lodge most years if i could push myself about the way that I can at home.

Thanks for your review Jill. We were pleased to hear you had an enjoyable stay but are sorry that you had problems with your wheelchair on the newly fitted carpet. Easedale Lodge does offer access for all and is a very popular place to stay.

Lovely well equipped lodge

We stayed at Easedale Lodge in May 2019. The lodge was very well equipped, in a nice quiet location and very clean. It was very comfortable although the master bed could do with a new mattress. We will return!

Easedale Lodge

On arrival at the park found the staff at reception to be very helpful, when we finally was aloud in enter the lodge at 15:00 was very impressed of what i booked.......... But the more I was looking round the more issues we found, we couldn't believe that the dyson hoover was left full to the rim.... that my seam petty but it rings alarm bells to me as that such an basic thing to do..... the bath room is in need of modernising or some work doing, as when you finally get the bath run what take 20 mins as water from boiler would run cold with hot tap fully open so you have to nearly close the hot tap to slow the water to gain hot water... when the bath is nearly half full there is a big gap around the bath and even more when you in the bath..... so on that note we started to use the en suite shower room........ this room has a very strong smell of drains and not very pleasant when your only sleeping next to the door...... As an British Approvals for Fire Equipment inspector (BAFE ) I found that the Powder Extinguisher (stored pressure) hasn't changed....... the Extinguising went out of test in 2013 and was new in 2003.......... so this means this would make any insurance to be void on the lodge, but the main point is putting peoples life at risk if this unit was needed to be used, and this is the same for the fire blanket. So to some it all up this lodge isn't valve for money....................

Review date: 22nd April 2019

We very much regret you have had such a poor experience in Easedale Lodge, Martin. We are reviewing what action needs to be taken to rectify the faults, and any deficiencies will be remedied. We were particularly concerned at your findings of the fire equipment failures and as a result we have replaced them all. However, under further inspection they were found to be in good working order and perfectly safe for guests to use. Thank you for letting us know of your concerns and we are very sorry that these so spoilt your stay. On a better note we are pleased you enjoyed Windermere Lake and Bowness - A great place and stunning location.

Short break

We booked this lodge primarily for the disabled facilities, which turned out to be very good. The lodge was clean and well presented. Shame the weather was against us as we could not get out at all.
