“The lodge was well equipped and clean but is in need of some maintenance.”

The bathroom especially. The outside space ie the decking was very disappointing. The decking was covered in debris from the very close trees and looked like it had not been cleaned since winter. The furniture was all covered in moss the cushions were very wet and we had to try and dry them before we could use them.The deck does not get any sun on it as it is completely shaded by trees.

Thank you for your review and for the telephone conversation we had after you wrote it, which allowed us to clarify what the small bathroom maintenance issues were. We attend to all maintenance requests on the day they are reported to us as a matter of course. Unfortunately, in this case we weren't told about about the loose soap dish, seat and toilet roll holder during the course of your stay. However, we were grateful to know about them afterwards as this allowed us to rectify them immediately and maintain the high standard of the bathroom and lodge as a whole for future guests. We are very sorry that you found the external cushions to be wet, but the entire decking area had in fact been thoroughly cleaned and treated by a professional refurbishment company only a week before your arrival. Unfortunately leaves can blow onto the decking area of the lodges during periods of wind or storms and it seems this may have been the case here. We are grateful for your comments about the high standard of cleanliness and equipment in the lodge and hope that these other small issues did not detract from your overall enjoyment. Many thanks, the owners. Owner relations

“The property was in a generally decent state of repair and the beds were very comfortable.”

However, upon closing the curtains on the first night one of the hooks for the curtain tie-backs in the living room came out of the wall. It was very loose and not secure at all. It looked like it had previously been knocked out and just poly-filled back into place. Also, there was a little dent in the wall adjoining to the kitchen, almost like a previous renter had damaged it and it was left as it wasn't too bad. Upon sitting on the sofa I also noticed that one of the cushions was dirty, and when cleaning up before departure, as I was starting to sweep the floor, I noticed that there had been a small pile of rubbish (wrappers, etc) that were simply swept into a corner behind the bin. That being said, it was all ok. The sofas were comfy, good TVs in all rooms, a fully equipped kitchen (albeit the oven door was not aligned correctly), great showers, and a peaceful, easy to find location. However the name that is given by Sykes does not necessarily match up to that of the caravan park, so you could easily go to someone else's lodge. All in all, I would say it was a good break, however there was just a couple of issues with the maintenance of the property and it needs to be cleaned better. I would stay at the park again, but perhaps with a different property.

“Lovely Cabin, Friendly staff and everything we could of asked for and more.”

Mr Heywood October 2018

“Bluebell lodge was perfect for our family holiday.”

The facitilites on White Cross Bay were superb, and the standard of the lodge was exceptional. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and we would definitely visit again.

“Skye’s made it very easy for me to book my accommodation with helpfully and friendly staff.”

I also liked the regular updates sent to me. The accommodation was fabulous and Iwould definitely recommend it and Skye’s.

“Was a bit concerned when we pulled into the place and realised it was a holiday park ( we are late 50's ) but the location of the lodge at the top and edge of the park was beautifully located , very quiet at night .”

We even made use on the on-site club house which was useful for the occasional vino without the worry of driving. As for the lodge it was beautifully kitted out with high quality furnishing throughout, everything that was needed was there . All in all fabulous holiday in the UK will definitely return .
Mr Mathieson June 2018

“We had a fantastic holiday, booking and checking in was simply easy and stress free.”

It was great - would like to book again
Mrs Denton May 2018

“We were two family's staying in separate lodges not far away from each other which was great.”

Love white cross bay so central for surrounding areas of the lakes really good base. Pool / club bar could not fault. Only the essentials at the shop but that's no big deal. Site lovely and clean and quite were we were away. Would defo return again. If I had to pick at something I was a bit disappointed at the cleanliness of the lodge lots of dust everywhere and I felt all surfaces needed a wipe over in general it was ok but for the price I paid for the week I would of expected it to be spotless. Otherwise fab time .
Miss Compton March 2018

“Our 3rd time here we love it so much .”

Most luxuries lodge you will ever stay in. Great facilities on site also to keep everyone entertained and a great base to explore the lakes . We will be back!
Rogerson November 2017

“Bluebell Lodge is a perfect location on the park , just a couple minutes walk from the swimming pool & clubhouse and a 3 minute stroll to the lake!”

The lodge has everything you need for a perfect family holiday ! The owners have made the lodge very welcoming adding touches like games: puzzles /dvds which out grandchildren really enjoyed! We would go back again for sure!

“Beautiful!”

The accommodation was perfect! Which is saying a lot when we have a 11 year old disabled child and a 1 year old! As well as being practical in every aspect it was also luxurious for us, and you usually have to sacrifice suitability for luxury when you have kids! The setting was beautiful and the club house was brilliant for the wet days. It is expensive but you can see why when you get there. The decking outside was safe and secure enough to let our 1 year old toddle around on, and the ramped entrance made it fantastic for getting my daughter inside in her wheelchair. The lodge was spotless and had everything we needed for a stress free holiday. The kids loved the pool, the staff there were lovely and very helpful with our daughter as the changing rooms aren't really set up for disabled access, but apparently this is being addressed. The lake is a little stroll away which was a perfect activity for after tea, and the kids loved our daily visits from the ducks! We will definitely visit again we had a lovely time thank you!
