"Lovely lodge in tranquil setting. Well equipped. Could do with a small waste bin in the second bathroom, an outside sweeping brush to brush the leaves from the decking and an outdoor parasol. As a thought, we think the outside dining table and chairs would be better if placed on the patio area with views of the lake as opposed to its current location looking at the road and no privacy."
"Not for fishing, good for dog owners and people with children. Wouldn't return."
"Very nice lodgePleasant suprise to have 2 bathrooms Very comfortable"
"Our South Lakeland Leisure Village review: Had everything we needed, facilities were great and the lodge was like new. Beds were really comfy."
"Very comfortable lodge, great size. Could do with a slightly bigger drive as with 4 bedrooms to fill we took two cars which only just fit but no biggy. Kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed from bottle openers to can openers. Plenty of plates and cutlery as well as and cups / glasses for the 7 of us staying."
"I think there are 3 negative things about the lodge we stayed in, first it really needs to have a number visible on the outside of the lodge,and someone needs to address the amount of little flies that where around the gate and doorway they got in you car every time you went out , and most of all there were only 4 chairs around the dinning table , this was a 3 bedroom lodge and there were 6 of us 2 people couldn't sit at the table, but overall the lodge was clean and comfortable pity about the weather ."

"Really enjoyed our stay, comfy lodge and everything we needed, cheers!"
"Lovely lodge everything we could need to enhance our holiday Thank you"
"This accommodation was a stones through away from bar,restaurant and leisure facilities which we loved! The accommodation was avrually behind a wfobbed barrier which was great!The lodge was immaculate!The beds were super comfortable and the space was a great space for 4 adults 2 dogs and a child. The hot tub turns off at 10am which might bothered some as the hot tub is in the balcony not everyone would like to sit in it during the day as it faces out onto the site but this didn't bother us at all. We were in and out! Really lovely touches when we arrives to prosecco, orange juice, chocolates and ice cubes. We would live here if we could. Looovely lovely lodge."
"moved accommodation with thought discusion. Location was good for visiting local places lick Blackpool for day out nipping into Lancaster on way back. Day out to Morecambe and local areas of interest. my accommodation, was not as per booking."
"Lodge was lovely, lots of kitchen equipment, towels provided, lovely and warm when heating on and the hot tub just adds to a perfect weekend stay.If there was only 1 comment to make it would be a little air freshener here and there would not go a miss to make it more pleasant when walking in"
"Best holiday experience, totally recommend booking now!"
"Space limited by poor layout. Water got scaldingly hot. Shower temperature affected by using other taps. Quiet location suited us."
"Honestly, our stay was a bit of a letdown. When we arrived, the place wasnt as clean as wed hoped-there were nail clippings lying around and hair in the bathroom that looked like it was from a previous guest. We also had to wash most of the pots ourselves because the glasses still had dirty water in them. We were pretty disappointed, especially since we had to check in late and leave early due to COVID cleaning rules, but even the visible stuff was missed. It was also really dusty with loads of cobwebs everywhere. We get staffings been tricky lately, but we couldnt even book a meal, which was frustrating. The bars hours from noon till nine felt a bit odd, especially since the site's pretty remote and theres nowhere nearby to get food without a trek. All in all, not what we expected, but hey, thats travel sometimes!"
"We stayed at this lodge recently and honestly, it was lovely! The living area and kitchen were perfect for relaxing and the kitchen had everything we needed. The bedrooms were a great size too. Definitely impressed with how nice it was!"
"The place was pretty nice overall, really clean when we arrived and the kitchen was well-stocked with good equipment. Only downside was the mattresses which were quite worn out and not very comfy, plus the pillows were pretty thin. Also, it would've been handy to have a coat or shoe rack, but otherwise, a decent stay!"
"Overall, we had a good stay. The only thing that bugged us was the colour of the rug in the front room-cream, right by the French doors leading to the decking. Since its a pet-friendly place, after a few hours of wet paws walking all over it, we ended up rolling it up out of sight for the rest of the week. Not a big deal but worth mentioning!"
"The lodge was really modern and comfy, with a lovely lakeside view. We enjoyed the fishing jetty and took advantage of the pool and gym, even if just once. Nice stay!"
"We recently stayed in a 'Bronze' lodge and honestly, it was quite lovely and super clean, fully kitted out with everything we needed. The location was pretty peaceful, even if a bit out of the way, but thats what we expected. The main issue we had was with the outdoor decking. It was clearly rotten and should have been replaced before anyone arrived - quite dangerous really. The furniture on the balcony looked pretty battered too. We tried to steer clear of the worst bits, but I still managed to fall through one of the holes in my chair one evening and hurt my back! We didnt make a fuss about it at the time, but honestly, it shouldve been sorted beforeh and. The reception team was really quick to respond and a maintenance guy was there in no time to check it out. Unfortunately, they couldnt fix it before we left and they did offer to move us, but with only a day left, it wasnt really worth the hassle. As for the Waters Edge Restaurant, we found the staff seemed a bit unsure of what they were doing - not quite the level of service we expected. The food was pretty average for what you pay, so we only ate there once during our week. On the plus side, its a cracking spot to grab a drink in the evening, overlooking the lake. Overall, we had a good time, despite a few hiccups with the decking. Would definitely return, just maybe check the outdoor areas first!"
"The lodge was stunning, really loved the cosy vibe. When we arrived, the only thing was the windows needed a quick wipe - understandable with all the wildlife around. Didnt mind at all!"
"The Gold 2 room was really nice, we enjoyed it a lot!"
"Really enjoyed our stay, highly recommend!"
"Great location, cosy lodges, loved it!"
"Really enjoyed our stay! The lodge was spotless and super comfy, with a lovely lakeside view."
"Some small issues, but overall it wasnt too bad at all."
"Very quiet peaceful site, unfortunately the restaurant cannot run at capacity due to staffing shortages, so limited menu.
Very relaxing and a good base for the lakes etc."
"We were very impressed with the facilities at South Lake Land leisure Village and will be returning"
"Nice lodges with ple ty of outdoor space, onsite restaurant was nice and reasonably priced, no onsite shop but 5min drive away from local centre with shops, pubs and restaurants, lovely pool although shallow."
"Lovely setting on the edge of the Lake District and Yorkshire dales. From our lodge we did have a view of the lake and was in a quiet setting. On some parts of the site, there was traffic noise. Swimming pool, gym and restaurant onsite as well."
"Visited here for years and keep returning. Love it and always return. Setting and facilities fantastic"
"We had a wonderful 3 nights in Gressingham 40. It was so quiet and clean. Park facilities were excellent. The lake is beautiful. Special thanks to Matt in the Fitness Centre for being brilliant. Made to feel like part of the family. We will be back."
"Great location for visiting morecambe, the lakes and the dales . Restaurant was fantastic."
"Cabin was great, excellent location.
Would definitely go back.
Would of liked the bar and restaurant to be open longer as it closed at 8 or 9pm.
I can’t rate the food on site, we didn’t eat there."
"Excellent weekend, lodge was beautiful would highly recommend"
"Every thing about our stay was excellent"
