• "The cabin was fine, but the pool on site let our visit down tbh, it was so dirty I just had to come out."

  They were obviously training new staff & their inexperience was obvious & their customer care was very low. We used the hot tub every day, we did have to turn it down , 40 is too hot in summer, but once we'd done that it was lovely

  Thank you for your feedback I have passed on your comments to the site manager regarding the pool and staff so hopefully they will be in touch. The hot tub is set at 39/40 all year round, however, contact details for the hot tub team are available at the lodge if you need assistance with it at any time and the team visit daily so can always assist.

• "Kitchen utensils very good quality Lodge was smaller than expected Some areas could do with a deep clean,outside area especially."

  Bathroom very grimy. Things left on top of fridge from previous tenants eg some sort of hen party or baby shower cards & confetti, ribbon and blue tac left hanging on ceiling where something like balloons or bunting etc had been hanging. Not sure why there is a piece of plywood underneath mattress on double bed. No information pack about site or area. Wi fi very poor in all areas of lodge except outside on decking. Only able to get three channels on bedroom tv and non of those the usual ITV or BBC Hot tub amazing

  Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry the lodge did not meet your expectations in size and cleanliness and why items were not removed and we've spoken to our cleaner about this for future reference. We advise in our welcome email that any information leaflets for the area etc are in reception and we have a noticeboard for other information relevant to the lodge inside the lodge. We have no control over the site Wi-Fi unfortunately and we're unsure why the bedroom TV wasn't working properly but may have been able to assist if contacted. Eileen & Graham Jones Property Owner

• "The lodge was in a nice position and well equipped."

  Hot tub was lovely. It was not as clean as I expected and had to do some cleaning myself in the kitchen upon arrival including picking up 3 lots of dog mess from the grass behind the hot tub. Enjoyed our time overall though and made special memories with my family.

  Thank you for your feedback, We're sorry you didn't find the lodge as clean as usual and we've spoken to our cleaner about this. With regards to the dog mess beyond our lodge, we are not responsible for the areas beyond our decking , the site is responsible for these areas, however, the onus is really on the dog owners to clear up after their pets. We're glad that despite the above you still enjoyed your stay. Eileen & Graham Jones (owners) Property Owner

• "We visited this lodge for a short break with our 3 teenagers and a dog."

  Lodge is in a quiet location and is was very clean with everything you need. Beds are comfortable. Outside decking is secure so ideal if you have a dog and the jacuzzi was great. The only issue we had was with the WiFi. Reception had informed us on arrival that there was no WiFi due to an outage throughout the area this meant this you couldn’t pay by card in the site shop/ restaurant/bar and hence cash machine had no cash. Had to drive out to a cash machine which was frustrating after a long drive to get there. Even when it came back on it was intermittent. Anyway goes to show I suppose how much we rely on technology. Teenagers were initially not happy but probably did them good being off their phones. All in all a lovely break and would go back (perhaps without the teenagers)

  Thank you for your lovely feedback about the lodge. We're glad you enjoyed your stay despite the WiFi issue. As the site advised this was an area wide outage so there was little they could do. It is usually good service to our lodges so sorry this happened during your stay. We hope to welcome you again in the future. . Eileen and Graham Jones (owners) Property Owner

  Extremely well cared for by the owners who clearly care about their guests. Well equipped, clean and cosy warm with lovely furnishings. The hot tub is incredible and well maintained (the coloured lights around are a bonus!) Great location on the park too, tucked away in a quiet corner but not too far from the site hub. Great to be able to bring your dog to such a nice lodge! Will be back and would definitely recommend. Thank you for a fab Christmas holiday!

• "We paid a lot of money to hire the lodge but it felt like in the middle of a building site."

  The lodge next door was being built, builders working less than 1 meter from the hot tub, which my wife and daughter felt uncomfortable to use. The site staff were extremely unhelpful and not interested in helping us when they found we booked through Sykes. We booked for a quiet and relaxing holiday in the beautiful Lakes and ended up with a building site; if we had known we would have moved to another location. The owner was very quick to respond to my questions (thanks) and comments but they informed me that they had not been told and apologised. There seemed little point in complaining further during our holiday and put up with the building work from 9am to (on one day) 6.30pm. Disappointing response from the site and very poor communications in advance or prior warning.

  We are really sorry this happened during your stay. As I explained whilst you were there we were not consulted by the site about locating a new lodge next to ours or given prior notice as to when they would begin works on fitting the new decking around it which unfortunately happened across some of the days of your holiday. If we had been made aware we would have contacted both you and Sykes to look at possible options. We have complained about the response you got from the site and the manager is looking into this. The works have now completed and the peaceful location we have has now returned which of course is no consolation. Once again I can only offer our apologies this happened during your stay.

  I have to say that this is a lodge that the owners take great pride in an also ensure the best for their paying guests. Spotlessly clean, fully equipped even down to tea/coffee/sugar/torches/kitchen roll/tinfoil etc(no it doesn't have a dishwasher but that never bothers us!) A large fridge and freezer a bonus as some only have tiny ones. Even down to the lovely artworks on walls .. every detail has been thought of. Reading reviews prior to booking the bed was mentioned but we found it comfortable. Plug in air freshners were also mentioned..we just unplugged them so not a problem. Sofas grubby? No they are not. They are low but comfortable! Carpets are also nice! If I have to say anything 'wrong?!'.. we found the bathroom sink is very small so it's hard not to spill water having a face wash (that's all we can come up with

• "In general the lodge was very clean and had everything you could want for a lovely stay."

  Unfortunatly though the main bedroom mattress was incredibly uncomfortable, me and my wife hardly got any sleep. We tried to flip the mattress and rotate to find a comfort spot but the mattress is soo old, lumpy, worn and past its time, it needs to be replaced. I did notice a review about this mattress quite some time ago so would of expected it to be replaced but clearly not. Having said that my daughter slept very well in her bed and the rest of the lodge was fantastic. Another note is the pool on site, if you book through sykes and not park Dean themselves you don't get the opportunity to book for swimming and have to rely on the limited walk in spaces available per session. This proved difficult, and something we haven't experienced on other sites. So my advice would be to check with the site themselves before booking to make sure you are aware how they run this so you don't get disappointed. All in all though had a lovely time away, the lodge is positioned in a really quite spot on the park, within easy walking distance to the hub and other facilities.

  Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately the comfort of a mattress is very much a personal thing we find. The mattress is under two years old and is memory foam and previous guests have also commented on how comfortable it is and also asked for details as to where we bought it so we do appreciate it may not suit all. With regards to the on site facilities, we have no control over this and it is best guests speak direct to the site on this. We're glad that overall you enjoyed your stay at our lodge :-).

• "Generally a very nice lodge and well presented."

  The hot tub was great and the lodge was well presented. The location and setting was ideal, however several other people as well as ourselves found negotiating the park not easy (especially at night) with limited signage and lighting. We had an issue with the toilet flush on our visit which was promptly resolved by the owners by use of a local plumber. Our only criticism was the mould/dirt build up on the bed bases and bottom of the wardrobe which needs addressing (when near outside walls) and the lack of dishwasher in the lodge. Apart from that, an enjoyable stay !

  Thank you for your feedback. We have addressed the signage and lighting with the site on several occasions along with other owners and will take it up with management again. Unfortunately we have no control over site facilities I'm afraid, With regards to the mold, due to months of damp weather this year the mold has become a problem for us, however, we have already applied mold spray in all areas and re-painted with mold prevention paint and will of course do regular checks to keep on top of the problem. We've also had new carpets fitted throughout. We're glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back again sometime :-) Eileen and Graham Jones (owners) Property Owner

• "A lovely peaceful location convenient for local towns and beautiful walks."

  The outlook from the cabin is lovely, surrounded by trees but only a short walk to the marina and the reception area. Everything is provided that you need which is great. Cannot fault the overall superficial cleanliness but the sofa appeared grubby, probably given the material and inability to deep clean between visitors. There are parts that appear tired and there are some marks and stains around. The number of air freshener devices caused problems for me. A plug in device in each room and 3 vases in the lounge was overpowering from the minute we opened the door. The bed was ridiculously uncomfortable as there was wood between the base and mattress and what little sleep you do get is interrupted by the hot tub noise throughout the night right outside the window. This would be the same in one of the twin rooms. The hot tub could be a lovely addition however it quickly cools and the fast jets seem to add cold water, which is not particularly beneficial at the end of the day. Given the amount we paid and the facilities and experience we have had in other lodges on this site and at other locations we feel this was a very overpriced break and to be honest we have arrived home feeling disappointed.

  Thank you for your feedback. We are very proud of our lodge and always try to ensure our guests have a pleasant stay and are disappointed you didn't fully enjoy your stay. Comfort of beds is always difficult as people have varying needs. We like to ensure the lodge smells fresh hence the plugs ins but these can easily be turned off if offensive. The vases all contain fake flowers so give off no aroma. We always send a welcome email and also provide details of the hot tub provider in case of any issues but we heard nothing during your stay and would have been happy to assist with any issues you had if contacted.

  The position of the Lodge and the location were great, and enjoyed many morning walks down to the Marina. An added bonus was having the Hot tub. Facilities on site were adequate for our needs. We would definitely book again. If i were to add suggestions perhaps a Hoover, and additional tea towels, being provided, would have been a bonus, however the site does a have a laundrette which we used.

  Best ever stayed in especially for cleanliness. Would definitely stay here again if we go back. Very comfortable as well and cosy. Only suggestion is for an outside light to be put by the steps as the light outside isn’t bright enough to cover the steps. Had to use the car headlights to light up the steps. Two shower heads is brilliant especially the rain head however the shower tray could do with a lip as the bathroom floor floods. Hot tub is a bonus. I never thought I would get in one but it is brilliant. Especially after a day around the lakes. My wife wanted to bring it home. Other than that we had no issues. Everything was perfect. Well done to the owners Eileen and Graham for a perfect lodge. Erroll and Tracey.

  Thank you for your kind feedback. We are happy you enjoyed your stay and hope you do visit again. With regards to a BBQ we feel there is too much of a potential fire risk in providing this and therefore made a conscious decision not to provide one.

  Thank you for your feedback.  We wanted to reassure you we will look into all and address any issues.  We would like to note the kettle is not old and it was unfortunate this was the item that caused the power surge that resulted in the fuse box tripping.  Once notified we replaced this immediately.  As the lodge is set in a woodland area there is natural wood debris but access to the fuse box is not impeded, however, we will contact the park to remove any other items there may be at the back of the lodge as they are responsible for any land beyond our decking area. With regards to the bathroom, there is some recurring mould on the shower sealant which our cleaners are trying to address, however, this does not detract from how clean the lodge is it is just an unfortunate result of constant use and a common problem in many homes but we will of course try to address it more aggressively.  We understand you had already installed yourself in the lodge hours before the 4:00 pm check in time despite being made aware of this by both Sykes and us the owners and complained to the cleaners about the lodge not being cleaned which added to the pressure for them to complete their task.  We can assure you we take great pride in maintaining our lodge to a good standard and are sorry that on this occasion it didn't meet  your expectations.

  It was a luxury having the fabulous hot tub but the lack of a washing machine/ dryer on site was a let down.

The beds were very comfortable but the twin rooms were small and lacked adaquate storage. Better quality bedside cabinets would provide enough drawer space for two people. More hooks needed in bedrooms and bathroom. A brush for the outside decking would also be useful. I tried to report fault with mesh on the decking to Sykes via online chat on the app but was told to ring the Sykes number.

• "White cross bay was a a realy good place to stay, my only concern is a lot of people take dogs and there could be be a fenced off field for dogs to run in."

  All In all my wife and I + our new dog Bella had a great time the cabin had everything we needed and more, we would give it 5 stars + for cleanliness. And the hot tub was brilliant heated up and ready to go when we got their. Great break thank you Sykescottages

• "We had a lovely break over the weekend the cottage was nice and cosy and clean."

  Other than the fact that we had no water pressure at all on the Sunday and when it did eventually come back it was ice cold for hours, therefore we had to leave without showers. The oqner waa lovely and gave us a bottle and some chocolates. Good choice for us :)

  Thank you for your feedback and were glad you enjoyed your stay in our lodge. Were sorry for the problem you encountered with the sites water pressure during your last day. The site have now rectified this and we and a number of subsequent guests have not experienced any further problems. Property Owner

• "Very impressed with cleanliness and overall appearance of the lodge."

  Everything was in very good condition and a minor problem with heating was resolved very quickly by maintenance. Would definitely consider booking again in future.

• "Asked the question about being quiet and was told it was."

  There was actually a busy A road directly being which was a little noisy. Was also told it was on the end of a row, but it was between two other lodges
