• "A lovely house, 6 lovely en-suite bedrooms."

  It has modern, up to date features, however, it is an old property and this should be remembered. All in all we had a thoroughly enjoyable week here. The owner was very friendly and helpful.

  The cottage itself was very comfortable and well equipped .There was a beautiful victoria sandwich in the kitchen on our arrival which tasted as good as it looks .The pub about a mile away ,The Brown Cow served lovely food at reasonable prices .The portions were huge and the staff were great .We were a party if 10 and there was plenty of room for us all at the dining table .Probably only enough seating for 10 in the lounge ,but there were chairs in the bedrooms and dining chairs which could be used if there had been 12 of us .I would definitely recommend staying in this lovely cottage .

• "Beautiful place to stay."

  We stayed for my wife and twin sisters 40th Birthday and we had the best time. The rooms are amazing and there's so much to do nearby. We were greeted by a homemade cake too which was a nice touch.

• "We really enjoyed out time at Millwood Lodge."

  Its a perfect accommodation if you have several families coming together as there is an en-suite for each room. I do think the check out time is a little early and cuts your break short so an additional hour would be ideal to allow a more relaxed departure. Id say 5 of the 6 rooms were lovely but one could do with a bit of TLC as its a tad dated/tired compared to others. We had good comms from the owner at points but some messages remained not responded to which is a shame as one was asking how we rebook for next year with them. This is honestly the perfect booking for several families to come together for a few day/nights with out feeling on top of one another and I would say its a great booking for 12 persons young or old.

• "We all had a great weekend celebrating my birthday (8 adults 4 children a baby and 2 dogs)."

  It did help the weather was kind to us, when the weather was good we were able to sit outside and use the BBQ also the table in the orangery/conservatory was big enough for us when the weather did turn on the last night. All the bedrooms were comfy and worked well for us and the kitchen was well stocked with crockery, cutlery and pots & pans. If we were to go back to the area we would not hesitate to rebook Millwood Lodge.

• "Amazing house."

  Equipped with everything needed for twelve adults. There was no fight over the rooms because all were on suite and tastefully decorated. The sun shone everyday so we were able to sit out some of the time. The lovely walk across the fields to the excellent Brown Cow was a bonus.

• "This is a fabulous place for a family get together."

  With 6 bedrooms, all unsuite, there is never a queue for the bathroom. Lovely conservatory to eat in and a very spacious lounge. Our one very minor complaint would be that the sofas in the lounge possibly need updating. TVs everywhere so no arguments there. Closed in garden and situated on a very quiet and little used road. Superb kitchen. Lovely Victoria Sponge waiting for us on our arrival too. Really nice touch. We all agreed we will return next year.

  We were welcomed by the owner on arrival, and they had baked a very large Victoria Sponge cake. Sadly, I couldn't eat it as I'm lactose intolerant, and the majority of my family are coealics. However, the members of the family who could eat said it was really yummy

• "We had the most perfect stay at Millwood Lodge."

  Everything was perfect. The owner was lovely to meet and popped in shortly after we arrived to make sure everything was OK. The whole place was immaculate, large living room and kitchen plus all the bedrooms were perfect each with en-suit. We would like to thank David and Caroline for providing us the best stay and we would definitely book this cottage again.

• "Lovely cottage, big bedrooms and comfy beds."

  Lounge nice layout, the sofas although they looked nice were not terribly comfortable. Fabulous conservatory, a great place to dine. Couple of small things - a bit more cutlery/utensils and spare toilet rolls in each of the well appointed bathrooms. TV in every room was good as some of us wanted to watch ‘Strictly’ and some of us didn’t. Overall excellent cottage and would thoroughly recommend. Hosts were there on arrival but otherwise left us alone. Lovely cake left for us as well which was a nice surprise.

• "Millwood Lodge is absolutely beautiful."

  We booked a stay to celebrate my 'special' birthday and to say that the accommodation made the celebration more special is no understatement. The house is so comfortable and cosy whilst there is plenty room for everyone. So much effort has gone in to every detail throughout the house and every bedroom felt like the master suite. Sitting round that fantastic table in the evening, in the company of my best friends will stay with me forever. I would (and have) recommended Millwood Lodge to lots of people already and I only hope I get the chance to return soon (and not have to wait for 10 more years until my next milestone!!)

  Hello. I'm sorry you did not have ample kitchen equipment, I did speak to most members of your party on many occasions during your stay and asked if you had everything you needed and if you required anything at all to just ask us. We will address this problem. Regards David and Caroline Property Owner

  All the bedrooms rooms having an ensuite was a bonus. Very well stocked kitchen and delicious cakes, which was a pleasant surprise on our arrival. One of our dogs caused damage to a carpet one night which was mortifying! David was very reassuring and understanding. We would have no hesitation about recommending the house to others.

• "I loved the stay loved the house It did need a good clean when we were there alot of cobwebs and spiders and hairs but overall lovely stay Didn't appreciate the issue over charging cars especially when we brought the slow charger which barely used electric."

  We traveled over 91 miles to the lodge and now in 2023 it is something the owner will get more of. Most cars are electric or will soon be elctric. The fact that we paid close to 2k for the weekend just seemed ridiculous that there was an issue with owner over this. Funny how after the owner noticed this the plug socket outside stopped working

  Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry we did not come up to your expectations, we do all the cleaning and linen changing ourselves so we give special attention to the points mentioned With the issue of charging an electric vehicle we do not offer this facility for travelling expenses, we do not supply Diesel or Petrol either for your other vehicles, it does state in the terms and conditions about charging electric vehicles. You did have our contact number so could have contacted us and we could come to an arrangement to accommodate you. With regard to the socket stopping working "this did not happen", the socket is on a ring circuit so you would have lost power throughout the property, (checked by an electrician). Once again we thank you for the feedback. Property Owner

  We booked for a long weekend for a family get together. It was good to have bedrooms downstairs as we had a couple of people in the party that couldn’t manage stairs. The bedrooms were comfortable and beautifully decorated. The house was warm and cosy. The kitchen was lovely with everything you needed. The cake that was left for us all was delicious and thanks again for leaving it for us. So good we have booked again for next year for our annual family get together.

  This lodge was everything I expected and so much more. Spent 2 nights with 11 friends for my partners 30th and we were all so chuffed with our stay. The cleanliness was top level, all of the home decor was just absolutely adorable, the beds were SO comfortable - haven’t slept so well in years! Everything was just immaculate and the homemade chocolate cake was absolutely divine and such a lovely touch!! Cannot rave about it all enough. Will definitely be returning, maybe even making it an annual trip as it was just such a nice getaway!

  They even provided a very large cake - completely delicious. Everything was as described and everything worked (except for one doorknob, which I'm sure will be working in time for the next visitor!) If we need to visit the area again, we would love to return, with a bit more time to explore and to relax (we were there for a big party which left little time for either).

  We were able to enjoy our family party and the 70 year old ‘birthday boy’ was able to join in the festivities despite being in a wheelchair.

Would highly recommend for a large party whatever their ages!!

• "We booked Millwood Lodge on the understanding that there was a ground floor bedroom for one of our family members."

  When we arrived that was not the case. There was one step down to one of the rooms plus a step down into the en-suite. The other two downstairs bedrooms were up three steps. The rooms were damp and lacked ventilation so condensation was a huge issue, our clothes were damp when they came out of the wardrobes if the room had a wardrobe or cupboard. Some had just hooks on the wall. Kitchen was missing some utensils and the cafeteria was broken. The oven temperature gauge wasn’t correct so cooking times took longer. There was nowhere for muddy boots and wet coats to hang to dry after our walks. The lounge was not big enough for all of us to sit comfortably together. We had a nice stay but would not go back.

  Hello Karen, we are so very sorry that you had an unpleasant experience at the property. We spoke to you on the second day of your booking and on other occasions asking if all was well and to contact us if there were any problems. The only telephone contact from you was on the Saturday when there was a blocked gutter which we rectified immediately. We have had people calling us prior to their stay asking about access when they have someone with mobility problems, at which point we mention the two steps into the property, two steps up to the two rooms on the right and the one step down to the other bedroom on that floor. There are no rooms with three steps leading up to them. We will work with Sykes to ensure that the steps are noted in the description as transparently as possible. We have not had any damp issues, all rooms have opening windows for ventilation, and we encourage all guests to air the rooms where possible. With regard to the oven temperature gauge, we will install a thermometer in it to ensure it always works at the correct temperature. If you had mentioned the utensils and cafetiere we would have replaced them immediately. We will of course look into the point you have raised relating to the muddy boots and wet coat storage. Had you informed us of any issues you were experiencing, we would have done our very best to help you, as quickly as possible. Kind regards, David & Caroline Property Owner

• "The house was excellent, ideal for 11 of us staying."

  We all got our own rooms with bathrooms and the dining area in the conservatory was superb for us all to eat around and play games. The kitchen facilities were also good, plenty of space to prepare meals for a large group. The property is quite 'out of the way' and driving was the only option to go for walks or explore the Lakes, there was a walk close by round the woods that was good for the dog but we knew that before booking.

  We were a group of 19 adults and it fit our needs perfectly. Extremely affordable with space to relax and socialise. The host baked us a lovely cake to welcome us which went down very well! Good location, only about a 40 min drive from Windermere and a 10 minute drive to a large shop. Will definitely be visiting again!

  All rooms were furnished to high standard and beds so comfy. We will definitely stay again, the only downside, and no way is it a complaint, was the large step down into the kitchen. Our 17 month old grandson fell a couple of times but he soon learnt to navigate it. :) We especially liked the enclosed garden, It was the hottest week of the summer but with a large corner outdoor sofa with jumbo sized umbrella we spent most of our stay playing outside with our grandchildren.

• "This was our first holiday with all three generations of the family, including our dog, and Millwood Lodge was wonderful."

  The bedrooms are lovely and clean with their own bathrooms. The lounge was comfortable but my 80 year old mum would have preferred a more supportive furniture for her back. The different levels on the ground floor are done very well, but might be difficult for someone with mobility issues. I loved all the artwork on the walls, as it gives the place a homely feeling. The hosts went above and beyond, with an amazing cake on arrival and a fan left for us during the week as the weather was hot. The enclosed garden was beautiful to sit in and great for our dog. The patio furniture was in constant use and very much appreciated, as was the barbecue. We all had a fabulous time. Thank you!

  All the bedrooms and en-suites were equally nice, so no-one felt short-changed. The sitting room and dining conservatory were generous in size, comfy and nicely quirky, providing a real hub to the house. The kitchen was well stocked, but could have benefitted from a few basics like salt & pepper & a couple of dishwasher tablets to start you off. However, the welcome cake was a wonderful treat. We were blessed with good weather and so the garden and outdoor seating area were an added bonus. The surrounding area has much to offer with woodland walks, long empty beaches and plenty of historic sites. We’ll definitely hope to return.
