Nice lodge but very tired

The lodge was nice inside, spacious, clean and tidy. The first thing we noticed was the 'blown' double glazed patio door which was full of condensation, which didn't give us a very good first impression. The settee and chairs were worn and uncomfortable as quite old but overall it was ok. The hot tub wasn't ready for us when we arrived so we had to wait until the following day before we could use it. The outside area we thought needs attention. The decking was always wet, the hot tub old and the patio furniture needs replacing with something more comfortable and modern. We felt the lodges were very much on top of each other as well and had to have the blinds closed most of the time for our own privacy. Overall our stay was 'ok' and we enjoyed it. It is just some of the essentials need attention and it wasn't a 'wow' factor break, especially for the money. An upgrade of certain items would make the lodge more appealing.

Loved it, will be coming back for visit no.7

Repeat of previous reviews but I adore it here. The location is amazing, the lodge is home from home and the work being done to the it makes a massive difference. It was spotless and smelt amazing! Lake District Lodge Holidays make it very easy to sort everything and they’re super friendly. It’s now becoming a tradition to have this annual visit so I’m sure we’ll be back soon. One downside is the onsite pub/ restaurant and the service. It’s such as shame as it massively lets down such a wonderful place.

A lovely lodge

Well-situated a few minutes from the lake. Clean and tidy with adequate resources. Pity there were no face-cloths or soap with the towels etc. Good hot-tub and non-slip mats all around the decking area. Very good location. All in all a good choice.

Lily Tarn is a very comfortable home away from home lodge, perfect for the whole family! The hot tub is a real bonus and great to enjoy after a busy day hiking or exploring the local area.

Another Lake District holiday

Nice lodge but could do with a good clean in the kitchen - oven, glasses, plates, cutlery and pans needed cleaning before use. Probably wrong week to go as we’re bombarded by wasps so could not use hot tub or decking area Otherwise a good lodge to stay in.

Tired but clean

Lodge is clean and tidy though a little dated. Hot tub was great but decking needs some tlc (especially the front steps to the lodge). Park itself was quiet and staff friendly.

Beautiful Lodge, home from home!

After obtaining the gate code from reception, follow the directions to the lodge provided by Lake District Lodge holidays - if we followed the ones given to us by reception we would still be looking for the lodge today!. The lodge is very private and in a section where there is no through traffic so very quiet. The lodge itself was beautiful and was certainly home from home and the owners have taken a lot of care into providing everything that is needed. The hot tub, although only used once, was fantastic and lovely and warm. Our only comment is that there was nowhere to hang the wet towels and swimwear after use so maybe a clothes airer would be useful. Unfortunately the week we were there it was wet and cold (although in June) so we couldn't make full use of the outside deck etc., but the lodge was lovely to come back to after a day out sightseeing and walking. The site itself was clean and although there seemed to be lots of people around there was never any noise. We went into the bar area once whilst there with the intention of having something to eat but there was only one person serving and about 15 people waiting to get served. Every table seemed to have empty glasses and plates on - I hope this was just a one off and that they were short staffed that day, although we didn't return to find out. The park is well placed as a travelling base and only a 10 minute drive from Bowness. Although we like to go to a different place each time, we will definitely use Lake District Lodge holidays again and have no hesitation in recommending Lily Tarn.
