• "Our entry to Lake View Lodge was some what of a task in its self as we arrived after the park closed."

  However once we gained entry to the park and at the lodge we where blown away. The welcome package for us and our dog and the Christmas Tree made it feel very festive. We loved the fully equipped kitchen, made preparing meals easy. Loved the walk in shower. The whole layout of the lodge was prefect given its size and the views were spectacular. If you like to eat out we would recommend the Ye Old Forge Valley Inn in West Ayton, or The Mayfield in Seamer. Both allow dogs inside. We have enjoyed our stay and would look to rebook in the future. However, this would also depend on few things being fixed, replaced etc, which we have directly emailed the owners and Sykes about. We did read the reviews prior to booking the lake view lodge, which gave us an insight as to what to expect Despite the list of things that need addressing and things that we think could add. We didn’t want to end the email on a negative note and wanted to we had a good time, enjoyed the hot tub, sitting out on a morning watching the world go by and would definitely recommend the lodge to family and friends. As well as rebooking ourselves.

• "Very cosy, loved the welcome pack including the dog biscuits."

  The facilities were good, with everything you need. The bed was really comfortable. However, the communication and welcome from the staff was very limited. The bathroom radiator and toilet roll holder needs attention. The Hot Tub was fantastic.

• "On arrival, everything looks perfect, logs provided as listed, but only 1 firefighter and no matches."

  The fridge has a broken shelf on the door, where milk and bottles should go, but we managed ok. The shower screen support bracket is loose, insecure, and could potentially be a danger if left in this condition. The log burner was full of ashes, and burnt wood, obviously not been cleaned or emptied it out since last used, we had to clean it before we could light it. In the cupboard with the dishes, there were a large spider inside one of the dishes, complete with web, and one of the smaller cereal dishes has a dirty crack in it. Also, the burner for the hot tub was full of ashes too, this had to be emptied out and cleaned before use. On the whole we were pleased with the welcome pack, dog biscuits and bucksfizz etc. We would like to say, we actually left the cottage in a cleaner condition than we found it, hence we were actually 10 minutes past the checkout time before we left.

  Just perfect for a couple wanting a bit of quiet RnR in the middle of nature. Love it!

• "The welcome pack was much appreciated and the position of the lodge was ideal with views over the fishing lakes."

  We could not locate any details of the WiFi and had to call up to get these. There was an issue with a couple of leaks in the roof during periods of heavy rain which had been reported previously. A better sofa would make the stay more comfortable and a supply of light bulbs would be useful for when needed. On the whole, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lake View Lodge.

• "The first impression (view) on arrival was a hanging basket at the side of the door which was totally dead, hardly a good first impression."

  . The lodge is listed as 5 "ticks", I'm not sure how this is derived, but there was a lot of issues we encountered, firstly there was no information pack about WiFi, heating controls etc. Also, the extractor fan in the shower room didn't work and it was EXTREMELY dirty, there was cobwebs all around the ceilings which had captured "daddy longlegs", the roof leaked on to the wood burning stove and between the breakfast bar and sofa when it rained, there was a lot of grease splashes on the wall to either side of the hob. The outside table and chairs were VERY dirty and the overhanging roof soffit where you sit outside was again VERY dirty and needs brushing down. I have photos which I will share on an email as I also have a query regarding the price we paid (£882.00) for a week in September when it's £706.00 for the same week next year, and it was going to be £574.00 for the same week last year which we had to postpone......

• "Beautiful setting very quiet if you would like to relax whilst on holiday but also has the opportunity to do water activities and plenty of walks."

  The lodge was very comfortable and the welcome pack was a lovely gesture. The only suggestion would be to change the sofa as it was a bit small for two adults to relax comfortably and a bit of maintenance in the bathroom but nothing that spoilt the holiday. The wood fired hot tub is a brilliant idea easy to use and a welcome addition to the lodge.

• "We both loved the lodge."

  Location is great and it was lovely inside and out. Very pieceful. I have nothing to complain about. I have sent an email regarding a small leak from the log burner when it was raining, mainly so it doesn't any damage to the lodge itself

  Thank you for your feed back, the leak has been noted and will be repaired. regards Property Owner

  The staff that we met were so helpful and polite, well done to all, thank you. The setting is full of amazing views, all the lakes look beautiful, clear water etc, the water park is great too as we took our own paddleboards went to some attractions not far from site, will definitely recommend! We will stay again in the near future

  No rubbish bags, No logs, kindling matches, No tea pot, No sieve for tea leaves or coffee grinds, No oven tray. Just 2 odd cheap wine glasses, 2 saucepans 1 odd lid. Cooker light not working. Bedside light dead. Had to change bulb. Toilet roll holder broken. 2 taps, hot water in different direction. Hardly Luxury.... Malcolm

• "We have had a fantastic stay."

  The cabin is beautiful and surroundings so peaceful. It has been the perfect get away from our busy lives. We will be back!!! Bed comfy, kitchen facilities fantastic we cooked in twice, bathroom modern and clean, log burner perfect touch, hot tub such a luxury we loved it on an evening. The only suggestion we would have would be to change the sofa to a larger corner sofa as the sofa is not comfy. It is so lovely to sit and look across to the ponds in the morning and in the evenings but we didn’t find it that comfy on the small leather sofa. Although the breakfast bar looks lovely we wondered if this actually would get used and if instead a larger corner sofa would make the cabin more practical, appealing and comfy. This said, we absolutely loved our stay. The perfect time away for my 40th birthday and escape from our busy lives. Thank you.

  Thank you for your feedback and we are pleased your enjoyed your stay, the suggestion for the sofa will be passed onto the owners. Property Owner

  The lodge looks great surrounded by a fence to keep our dog with us, Inside there was a welcome hamper basket and was extremely clean through out, it had all the amenities that you'd require for your stay duration. Unfortunately there was no starter pack IE logs etc for the hot tub but after a bit of chasing up we got a pack eventually, one other thing we had a leak from the log burner flue during a downpour ,the area around the log burner and half the settee was soaking, after reporting the issue we were told its happened before ? and they were on about a new roof ? .How ever this did'nt dampen our spirits and we totally had a great stay,

  This year it is good to see a different sofa. We enjoyed the holiday and would stay again. TV needs to be replaced due to lines down the front and incorrect remote control. Overall - good!

• "We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge."

  The facilities were good, it was clean and there were nice touches such as welcome basket. The scenery was beautifiul and its in such a fantastic place surrounded by lake and was so peaceful.There are a few minor improvements which can be made, for example using mesh at the bottom of the fencing so small dogs are secure, more firewood. The only negative for us was we did not realise how close the carparks were to the lodge but it did not effect us as much at this time of year.

• "Unfortunately, my stay wasn’t brilliant."

  The first day we got there we got given key fobs that didn’t work. So we had to spend half an hour ringing different number to try and get hold of someone to come down and let us in, and give us a new gate code. In the morning we tried to shower and there was no hot water. This continued for a full weekend. We had cold showers for 3 nights in a row after paying 600 quid to stay there. We were told the hot tub takes 1 hour to warm so we could at least jump in there with no hot water. It took me seven and a half hours to heat the hot tub to a standard where it was warm enough to warrant getting in. I checked on the fire every half an hour and used nearly two bags of wood. We took the dog which was lovely, but the hoover didn’t work and we had nothing but a dust pan and brush. So naturally there was dirt and sticks on the floor between the dog and making the fire and there was no real way to clean up. The sofa was very uncomfortable and me and my partner spent the weekend alternating between sitting on the floor and the sofa. Overall the weekend was a 1 star weekend stay. Really disappointing as the location is lovely and secluded and it could be a nice stay. Should have read the reviews properly as it seems the issues are on going and still unresolved.

• "I had a great stay at the lodge, staff were very friendly and welcoming."

  Only complaints I’d have was the shower wasn’t very hot & very low pressure, I was told I’d have a little pile of lodges for the fire & hot tub but I was left with one single log for both, and upon arrival the bins hadn’t been emptied outside of the property which wasn’t the best of welcomings. But overall the location, the setting and the lodge itself was perfect, just needs a little tlc to bring it up to scratch. I’d definitely stay again and would recommend to anyone. Plus my dog loved every minute with loads of space to run about and explore, can’t put a price on that.

• "Hi, 2nd time staying."

  Love the location. However, the cottage is definitely more 'used' than last time we stayed. The bathroom has nearly 0 hot water which is something we raised in March and the drains are pretty blocked. We would also recommend bug spray etc as there was a lot of mosquitos/spiders/wasps as should be expected. Lovely stay overall but some improvements could be made this time.

  From hairs in bed to no running water and misleading photos.

  Hi, we are sorry that you found some issues in the property, we did have our housekeepers reattend, they located one stray hair and replaced the entire linen. There was a lack of water pressure that week on our site and was a Yorkshire Water issue and out of our control, apologies but was a area wide issue not isolated to ourselves, we believe this was rectified for yourself after one day. We hope that you were able to enjoy your stay overall. Property Owner

  The hot tub was amazing and stays hot for a long time once you get it going!! Inside was clean and comfortable. Only thing that was missing was an outside light that stays on, once it got to a certain time the area around the hot tub was pitch black and you couldn’t see each other anymore. Inside the fire was amazing but the roof above the fire has a slight leak in it, we only noticed it when it was chucking it down.
