"Honestly, we had a fantastic stay overall. The cabin was lovely and we really appreciated the thoughtful touches like the Elemis products - definitely a nice touch that you usually only find in high-end hotels. The location was perfect, peaceful but still close enough to explore. The staff at reception, the site and the bird of prey team were all super friendly and helpful, making us feel really welcomed. The only tiny hiccup was the double bed being a bit close to the wall on one side, which made it tricky for my husband to swing his legs out. Other than that, no complaints at all! We had a great time and will definitely be coming back."

"We booked quite late, so options were limited. The lodge was nice overall, but the main bedroom was tiny and you can only leave the bed from one side, which was a bit awkward. The electric shower lacked pressure and was tricky to get the temperature right. On the plus side, the hot tub was fantastic as usual and the view was lovely. It was an okay stay, really."

"The lodge was a bit smaller than what we're used to, but super cosy and spotless. Everything we needed, from cutlery to glasses, was there. Perfect for a chilled out break!"

Oliver - Mar 2025
"The cabin was really lovely and the hot tub was fantastic! It was spotless and well-maintained, though you could tell its been used quite a bit-understandable since its the pet-friendly option. We had a great time!"

"We stayed at the lodge recently and honestly, it was quite lovely and roomy. The heating was effective, though adjusting it was a bit tricky since there were no instructions. The spa bath was out of order when we arrived, but it didnt ruin our stay. The real issue was the lack of a plug socket in one bedroom, making it tough for the kids monitor and night light. Overall, though, we thought the place was really nice!"

"The chalets were really lovely and felt super cosy. We loved how close the 24-hour reception was and the bar/restaurant was a nice touch. Great stay!"

"The lodge offers stunning views and the kitchen is really well equipped. Might be a little tight for six adults, but perfect for four of us."

"We recently spent a lovely few days at Lakeside Park and really enjoyed it. The location is fantastic, with plenty to do for everyone. We chose the lodge because its advertised as accessible, but honestly, it didnt quite meet all our needs. The furniture and fittings are lovely and comfy, but the bathroom was missing grab rails, which was a bit of a letdown. Also, adding a couple of wingback chairs instead of one of the sofas would make it even better. Still, overall, a great stay!"

"Great stay, would recommend"
Charlotte - Oct 2024
"Overall, we found the place pretty decent. The rooms were spacious and comfy, especially the bathroom and en-suite. The kitchen and dining area were a real plus. However, we did notice some issues like a large water pool by the hot tub and no soap at arrival. The main bed was a bit noisy but still comfy."

Louise and Tom with Bella - Apr 2024
"The place was spacious and really comfy, which we loved. The hot tub was definitely a highlight! Only thing was the frying pan was a bit rubbish and that tiny wooden spatula didnt help with breakfast. Could do with a better pan or wok, honestly."
Matt - Mar 2024
"The lodge was pretty nice, though we swapped to single beds-they just werent comfy enough. Kitchen was well equipped, which was great!"

Caroline - Mar 2024
"Really enjoyed our stay, stunning views and lovely lodge. Just a heads up, dishwasher needs fixing."
Linda - Mar 2024

Laura - Feb 2024
"Really enjoyed our stay! The lodge was comfy, well-equipped and perfect for relaxing after a day out."
Claire - Nov 2023
"We spent ages cleaning out the barbeque shelter when we arrived; it was absolutely grim! The instructions for lighting the BBQ are pretty rubbish though - they say to open all the windows and leave the door wide open and you'll have a fire in 30 minutes. Honestly, whoever wrote that has no clue about lighting a real fire. We found that closing all the windows and door, then cranking up the extractor fan worked way better and the fire was ready in about 10 minutes. Plus, it kept the smoke and ash from blowing everywhere. Its just common sense, really. Still, we got there in the end!"
