Just returned from 3 nights in this wonderful lodge we did not want to leave! The lodge had everything you need and more! The little touches of wine, biscuits, tea, coffee etc were lovely! Our cleaner was lovely so sorry I didnt get your name she was so friendly and did a wonderful job. We will most definitely be booking again. Thank you to the owner too, I did want to leave a note for you but didnt have a notepad, your lodge is perfect we enjoyed every minute.

Great lodge, and great location. Very clean. Upon arriving I arrived at reception, asking for directions to the lodge the man at the desk was extremely rude and unhelpful. He said as it has been booked through a third party he cant help with any questions. I also asked for a map which he said there isnt one apart from the big one on the side of the reception building. We also tried using the oven on one night but could not get it to work! I think the fan may be broken.

This is a lovely lodge and we really enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately we did have a few problems with the hot tub but the owner Jacqueline was very helpful and did all she could. Think it may be a slight problem for some on arrival having to walk to the lodge from reception to collect the keys in order to be able to lift the barrier but wasn't a problem for us and it was a lovely sunny day. Would definitely stay there again and would recommend

Pros loving touch wine and biscuits, hot tub amazing , very peaceful, great for dogs being fenced in, lots of space between lodges , great location to visit other places I. E Morecambe great having 2 bathrooms . Cons fan assistant oven didnt work making cooking times so long, didnt leave bin liners , needed more oven proof dishes had to go to Tesco and buy one, measuring jug, maybe even a cloths horse also mark the switches on the wall as turned off and after an hour opened the fridge door and thought it wasnt working, then I pushed all the switches and it came back on , little hover great, but wasnt empty on our arrival, the mop was so dirty , and under furniture was dirty found an old dog treat and not ours . And one more thing , need a hook to hold open the patio door as when the wind got up, it shut with a force which could harm someone especially a child . Would I return Definitely yes , thanks

Duckling Lodge was like home from home, with the lovely benefit of a beautifully maintained hot tub! The lodge was immaculately clean on arrival and had everything we needed and more. It was a perfect base for our wonderful holiday, exploringa beautiful part of the world. Apart from one evening when the WiFi was a little unreliable, everything else was perfect and the lodge fully deserves a five star rating. Thank you for a lovely late summerearly autumn break. We really hope to return at some point in the future.

Tried to contact people on the emergency number No one has got back to us as yetOn the first night we went to get into the hot tub which was 41. 5 degrees !We lasted about 5mins in that as it was too hotThe next morning the tub was 42.3 degrees I could just about get my foot in it but nothing elseWhen we returned from brockholes we found the hot tub had shut itself down as it was too hot We contacted the only available number as reception was closed or unmanned also given how unhelpful they had been up to this point because we were a private letting ? We were not expecting any help from them. There was no reply from the emergency number and still has not been a reply from the emergency number.The site had already barred me from taking my van and leaving it on our drive as they claimed it was a commercial vehicle.There were plenty of other commercial vehicles allowed on site I even took a picture of one next door so I can only assume its because we were renting privately Would not recommend to anyone Tbph and I can honestly say I have never ever said that before of a break.

The lodge is lovely and better than expected Id recommend you to update the photos online as the new sofas and new tv look great! The cleanliness could have been better as there was a lot of broken glass near and under one of the sofas when we first arrived. We hoovered it to find the hoover was full to the brim and needed emptying before using. Everytime we hoovered which was daily, the lodge ending up stinking of dog im guessing from what was inside and left in the hoover!I contacted the owner and Sykes to say we were having an issue with the washing machine as it had locked after a cycle meaning our clothes were stuck inside, but I had no response from either in the 4 days we were there. We managed to unlock it by turning it off at the mains.The lodge is lovely, and the hot tub was perfect and remained hot all the time. 3040minute drive to Windermere which was perfect.Would definitely visit again and recommend to others.

We had a lovely relaxing time at duckling lodge for 5 days, perfect for visiting different places. The only thing i would advise is that would be helpful is a handrail in main bathroom to help steady for getting in and out of shower, even though there are mats, found it a bit difficult getting in and out for shower. the on suite shower is a bit small for the larger person and no where to put toiletries also the shower head keeps sliding down, needs attention, but we over all had a peaceful time, thank you.

You do need to book in advance .Overall what a brilliant weekend we both have had .Really enjoyed our stay .Thank you Duckling Lodge for a great weekend . Enjoyed it that much I have booked again .

WiFi not showing up for us to connect. Could see WiFi for lodges all around but for lodge 5. Later it showed up but poor connection then disappeared. If WiFi is essential for you this is not good for you like my sister she is from abroad with phone on data roaming so she was disappointed all night she got no WiFi in the lodge.Another issue we had is when I tried to run a bath I couldnt find anywhere the bath plug. Very strange indeed.Main bedroom is comfortable enough. Small bed really small. Hot tub is the best part. Nice surroundings in the village but lodge next to lodges quite close. In general I would say ok but not strong recommendation

The lodge was amazing for us for our short break. It was a perfect reset, the lodge was clean, comfortable, warm and had everything that we needed including WiFi which was great for the kids. The welcome wine and biscuits was an also a nice surprise! The park is quiet and calming, if youre going expecting Haven then youll be disappointed but for us, we needed quiet and calm and it was stunning. The lake is beautiful to walk around, especially with a dog, and the whole park is so clean and well kept. Its the sort of place Id like to retire too. The pub was lovely and the food was great. The service was also exceptional. For us, only two improvements that we could see, the first is for the park, it needs a small shop for essentials. The second is so tiny but the remote in the bedroom doesnt work, like I said, so minor but, for some it may be an issue. In short, we loved it, perfect location and an amazing gem of a lodge that we wouldnt hesitate to visit again.

No steps to hot tub found it difficult to get into the tub. Also no plug for bath.
Sherryl - Feb 2024
The lodge was great, warm, comfortable, clean and with everything we needed for a short break. Although not mentioned, there is a TV in the bedroom. Unfortunately there is no signal and the remote control is faulty right arrow button not working so it is not possible to connect to the internet. We did report this to Reception but the problem was not resolved while we were there 4 days. This did not detract from our enjoyment and the hot tub was amazing, we were lucky to have 3 nights with great star gazing. Would certainly recommend Duckling Lodge.
Susan - Feb 2024
Very nice lodge considering it was a pet friendly. Being left wine and nibbles was very nice. Also dog bowls etc made us feel dog was welcome. Hot tub nice and hot. Nice quiet site,very clean. Was nice to have washing machine and dishwasher,although we didnt use either.Only complaints are that as we arrived in dark, the site is poorly lit and lodges not very well lit so finding our lodge was difficult to find.also registering booking fee is very high.will be returning.
