“A beautiful cottage in a stunning location.”

The trees around the property gave it a wonderful sense of privacy. Perfect for the kids - very safe - and fully equipped with travel cot, highchair, etc. Great location for both lazy days and days out exploring!

“We had a lovely holiday.”

The lodge was very clean and spacious and could manoeuvre my chair without too much trouble thanks to the flooring being everywhere but the bedrooms it's amazing the difference it made having the flooring. What would have made it perfect is if the trees could be trimmed as you only get thr sun morning/ early afternoon at the side of the lodge. If it wasn't for the trees you would be able to enjoy sitting out in the evening. We were unable to use the table due to dust and debris from the trees. It was disappointing to see neighbouring lodges bask in the sunshine of an evening while we were in shade due to the height of the trees. Don't know if the trees are the responsibility of the owners or the park. Maybe if dialogue was opened between both this issue could be solved. Other than that this lodge is perfect for wheelchair users who would like to explore the lake district. Despite the trees we would definitely book this lodge again though would make a major difference to future bookings if they were kept trimmed.

Mrs Collins August 2020

“The lodge was lovely, only issue was not being able to use the decking area on sunny days as lots of trees overhanging.”

Would be so much nicer with a clearer view over the park.

- Mrs Collins, August 2020
Mrs Schofield February 2020

“We were stunned when we walked into our beautiful lodge for the week.”

It totally exceeded our expectations! It was easy accessible for our pram and in a lovely quiet area on site. Also great to have plenty of room to park two cars. There was nothing that this lodge lacked! It was so spacious, bright, warm and welcoming. Our family meme era were also blown away and our little 3 year old was so upset to leave on the last day. Great location and minutes down the road to Ambleside and Windermere. If this lodge was ok a different site, we would certainly book again! 10/10 from us!

- Mrs Schofield, February 2020
Mrs Sheridan February 2020

“Despite storm Dennis, we still had a great week away as this lodge was incredibly cosy, warm, insulated, comfortable and well equipped with access to the pool onsite at a very reasonable price.”

It's also a great base to get out and explore from. Perfect.

- Mrs Sheridan, February 2020
Miss Taylor November 2019

“Beautiful place, very accessible especially for wheelchairs.”

Great views and literally 2 minutes from the lake. Will definitely be coming back!

- Miss Taylor, November 2019
Mrs Hanley October 2019

“Bluebell lodge is absolutely beautiful with very high quality fixtures and furnishings.”

The kitchen is beautiful and extremely well equipped, the beds are comfortable as are the quilts and pillows. Very comfortable. The only small issue which is not a reflection on the owners at all was the standard of cleaning particularly in the kitchen. The oven was not clean and everything in it had a film of grease on it as did some of the dishes and cups in the cupboards and the dishwasher smelt very musty. I cleaned everything myself (except the oven) and it was great then. It’s just a shame it wasn’t done by the cleaning team but I suppose they have a limited amount of time to clean everything properly.

- Mrs Hanley, October 2019
Mr Thomas July 2019

“The Park is located centrally, close to Windermere and Ambleside.”

The Lodge is positioned in a quiet area, but close to the Lake and leisure complex. The Lodge was very comfortable and well appointed. Lots to do in the locality. Lots of cycle paths as well as some mountain biking in Grizedale. Plenty of walking - from nice gentle flat walks to higher level ones. The National Park visitor is virtually right next door at Brockhole. We were only there for a week - would have loved more.

- Mr Thomas, July 2019
Mrs Fox July 2019

“Due to large and overgrown trees right next to back veranda, didn’t use the outside table.”

Moved chairs to sit in sun at side by door but all sun and evening views blocked by trees from mid afternoon onwards. Leaves and insects falling on table too. Needs major trimming back, branches and height removal. Otherwise beautiful lodge and lovely site.

- Mrs Fox, July 2019
Miss Wing June 2019

“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.

- Miss Wing, June 2019

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

Mr Wilkinson March 2019

“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.

“Bluebell lodge was perfect for our family holiday.”

Ms Dickinson October 2018

“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.

Ms Wood August 2018

“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 .

- Ms Wood, August 2018
Mr Mathieson June 2018

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 .

- Mrs Denton, May 2018
Miss Compton March 2018

Mrs Brogden September 2016

“Stunning lodge in a very central part of The lake District, easy access to all the lakes.”

Mr Wheeldon June 2014

“Bluebell Lodge was lovely.”

The park it was situated in was central for visiting lots of places in the Lakes. The grounds were well cared for and there were two nice play areas for our grandchildren and a lovely indoor swimming pool. It was one minute's walk from our lodge to the shore at Lake Windermere We would love to return to Bluebell Lodge in the future. We were very lucky with the weather, warm and sunny, so that was a bonus.

- Mr Wheeldon, June 2014

Brownhill May 2014

“We took our disabled daughter to the lodge and the lodge was great for her wheelchair, it allowed her to access all the areas which is usually a problem on holidays.”

The lodge was also ideal for our 1 year old, as well as very comfortable for us too! The on site pool was a real bonus for rainy days, and the lodge had all the facilities for a great holiday! The location was great for an evening walk to the lake side, and Brockhole up the road was utterly beautiful for a walk, play & to catch a boat to Ambleside/Bowness!

- Brownhill, May 2014
Mrs O'malley April 2014

“Great location, spacious and well equipped.”

- Mrs O'malley, April 2014
Mrs Hook April 2014

“It was in a fantastic location on a great park.”

Being located in between Ambleside and Bowness made it really easy to visit all the best places around Lake Windermere. The lodge itself was a great place to stay and had an excellent spec' throughout. Very relaxing place to stay and the site had a great indoor pool that we used every day.

- Mrs Hook, April 2014
Mr Needham March 2014

“The lodge was ideally located to explore all that Windermere and its surroundings had to offer.”

It was particularly a pleasant surprise that Brockhole was within walking distance, to take our little boy to. The lodge was also beyond our expectations, the décor, the space etc, it was a home from home, we didn't want to leave.

- Mr Needham, March 2014
