Crake Valley Reviews

"Beautiful lodge and surrounding setting. Hot tub is amazing after a day of walking and visiting surrounding areas.The lodge is amazing as a couple for time away. The only downside in my opinion is there is not a dishwasher."

Michelle - Mar 2024

"Absolutely loved this lodge. We have been a few times to Crake Valley and it never disappoints. Its a lovely site, peaceful, well kept, comfortable and beautiful surroundings. The thoughtful additions when we arrived at the lodge, ie: hot beverages, shampoo&conditioner, oven gloves & dishwasher items were a lovely surprise. Thank you so much for such a fantastic weekend. We will be back again ????x"

Samantha Wilkinson - Jan 2024

"Beautiful place lovely clean spacious lodge. Perfect for walks and visiting other areas."

Verified Guest - Jan 2024

"It was minus 9 over nite on the Thursday and Friday morning the water had frozen into the cabin which is kind of understandable really"

Simon - Dec 2023

"Lovely to stay again at Tarn Hows, Its our 2nd time there, we absolutely love it, as always the Lake District never fails to surprise us, with lovely walks and beautiful views, lovely to wake up to at least one frosty morning there."

Sara - Nov 2023

"Great place to stay good value for money owners very helpful really pretty place would definitely recommend and would definitely come back again"

Sarah - Nov 2023

"Great lodge really clean and comfortable provided a great base for our holiday then the fantastic hot tub in the evening.Would definitely return."

Brendon - Nov 2023

"On the surface the lodge appeared to be everything we expected. However, on closer inspection we found many issues. Many of these issues were raised by previous occupants of The Cedars, yet, had not been rectified:Balcony, table and chairs were not prepared - we had to get cleaning ourselves, including sorting out the marked and greasy windows. The hairdryer in the main bedroom was faulty and cut out and it had no PAT test certificate. There were not 4 of each item in the crockery. The plates and bowls were not a set - just random plates.A broken wine glass was left in the cupboard and there was no set of 4. And not enough for 4 people. The gravel steps need maintenance as the steps, especially at the top, are dangerous and not fit for purpose. The string on the kitchen blind is broken. The upstairs sliding bedroom door does not lock. All these issues are maintenance issues - cleaning was spot on! We met no staff on our visit other than Pamela who came to bring us 2 loo rolls. Our exit and entrance to the lodge had to be via the gate at the back due to the dangerous front steps. This meant disturbing other hot tub users as we passed by - a little embarrassing. We would love to book again as we did have a super time, although we have reservations due to the neglect of the lodges. We feel that we only echo other guests whose complaints have fallen on deaf ears. There was one kind act by management when they brought us a fan due to the upstairs room being very hot. The fan, however, clanked as it spun and seemed dangerous. Get your act together guys - let maintenance be a top priority!"

Verified Guest - Nov 2023

"Lovely location in a beautiful setting, the arrival text message sent the day before gave everything you needed to know. Premises is perfectly appointed and was spotless. Only a couple of things - path needs sorting, its not good if unsteady on your feet as the shale path slippery, and moves under foot. A couple of low branches from the tree next to the building are rubbing on the roof, sounds like its gonna come through when the wind blowing. Overall perfect for a break and within a half hour drive of all the amenities the lakes have to offer"

Rob - Nov 2023

"Perfect stay 100% cleanlinesss would definitely return &most certainly recommend"

Natalie - Oct 2023

"Crake Valley is in a great location with easy access for walking and having fun on the water. The accommodation is very good and the lodges are well equipped with everything included for your stay. Coniston and Ulverston are within 20 minutes drive and Ulverston having supermarkets for your everyday needs."

Edward - Feb 2020

"Lovely break enjoyed by all the family"

Stuart - Feb 2020

"Great location. Great layout of site.
Would be 5 if it wasnt for the smell in lodge.
So 3 overall."

Will - Jan 2020

"Well, well, well. What can I say, we stayed at the Acorn lodge in Crake Valley. Its secluded, a little further away from the main park. Which has it's own little private garden where the hot tub is.

The scenery from the hot tub was second to none, surrounded by nature and able to see the hills. To top it off it snowed Saturday night so Sunday in the Hot tub with the surrounding was magical.

The place has a lake and woods right next to it and is perfect for a walk to take your mind off things. Over all great experience. Really enjoyed it.

Would advise them to leave some mops for the bathrooms and living area as going in and out of the hot tub can makes the place quiete slippy. Seriously was considering buying this place."

Adam - Dec 2019

"Lovely cabin, excellent value for money"

Craig - Nov 2019

"A lovely long weekend break at Oaks Lodge. Very comfortable, cosy, well equipped & Mathew & Karina were most helpful. Will definitely add Crake Valley to our list of lodges to visit again."

Nick - Nov 2019

"Best holiday to relax. Will return"

Michelle - Nov 2019

"So good we almost booked again there and then."

Shelley - Nov 2019

"Very basic holiday park, picnic area but no other additional facilities. This is absolutely fine with us as we were out and about all day exploring the beautiful Lake District. Lodge was clean and well equipped. Bed was comfy and so was the recliner sofa. TV with freesat and dvd player made for nice relaxing evenings, we took a couple of our own dvds to watch, there were no dvds provided. Location was quiet and a good central location to drive to lots of towns, villages and other attractions. We loved the carved pumpkins outside each lodge and around the park (it was end of October/Halloween), nice little touch."

Andrew - Nov 2019

"Great holiday, everything you need for a great break away No WiFi tho was the only downside."

Dawn - Aug 2022

"A small and pleasant resort. Staff were friendly and helpful. The lodge was sufficiently maintained and the hot tub a great addition. Highly recommended and good value for money."

Tracey - Jul 2022

Here are some of the activities and experiences you can enjoy on your visit to Crake Valley. If you discover a worthy inclusion to this list on your hot tub break, please let us know and we'll add it so that other visitors can enjoy it too.

South Lakes Safari Zoo - LA12 0LU

about 9 Miles

This is an amazing Cumbria attraction well known locally as well as nationally for how close you can get to the animals. Described as the most interactive animal park in Europe it's well worth a visit if you are staying in the area. Open from April to end October some of the highlights are the tigers, penguins, bears, hippos and rhinos. At 2pm during certain seasons it's feeding time so don't forget to plan your day around this so you can watch the animals enjoying their feed. Look out for seasonal events such as Halloween Zoo Boo (free entry for kids in fancy dress) and The Magic of Christmas.

Rydal Mount & Gardens - LA22 9LU

about 11 Miles

Rydal Mount & Gardens are wonderfully situated between Lake Windermere and Rydal Water offering breathtaking scenery. The home of William Wordsworth from 1813 - 1850 the grand home is now lived in by the poets descendents but parts of the house and grounds are open to the public. Why not take a guided tour and see the rooms where many of the famous poems were written. The gardens are beautiful at all times of the year but in the summer offer a spectacular display of colour. There is also a gallery and a tearoom. Discounts are available for group bookings.

Lakeland Wildlife Oasis - LA6 1JH

about 15 Miles

Located in the Milnthorpe area of Cumbria we love this local attraction. With an eclectic mix of fascinating wildlife and hands on displays this centre is educational as well as fun. You can wander around at leisure admiring the exhibits which range from chameleons to computers. Some of the most threatened species are kept at the park as part if international breeding programmes. Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs which are great value for money. There are discounts for pre-booked parties of 12 or more.

Ullswater Steamers - CA11 0US

about 17 Miles

This is an award winning Lake District attraction and they have been operating cruisers on Lake Ullswater for over 150 years. There is no better way to explore the lakes than on water and you could even combine a cruise with a spectacular walk. For great days out in this region then this attraction is highly recommended and will appeal to couples as well as families. Corporate groups are also well catered for.

Happy Mount Park - LA4 5AQ

about 18 Miles

Happy Mount Park has attractions for the whole family including several play areas, a miniature railway, crazy golf, putting green and trampolines, there is also a paddling pool where the little ones can splash around in the summer and a café where the adults can relax with a drink. During the summer months and especially during school holidays live music can often be enjoyed.

Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD

about 27 Miles

We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look". Some of the amazing animals you will get to see include the only Canadian Lynx in the UK and you will have the opportunity to help their Lynx Conservation Project. The Asian Fishing Cat is also well worth a look - these cats are known for diving under the water and catching fish! Other activities include fantastic flying displays and play areas for the little ones...

Bowland Wild Boar Park - PR3 2QT

about 35 Miles

Head for the Bowland Wild Boar park and we don't think you will be disappointed. A popular attraction in Preston there is so much to do for the whole family. From picnics, walks and wildlife to experiencing feeding the animals you are sure to have a memorable day out. Also popular is the kids tractor play area. For rest and relaxation the cafe is ideal serving hot drinks and snacks with a lovely view over the pond and wildlife feeding station. The Forest of Bowland has been declared an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
