40 Skiptory Howe Reviews

Gillian
Kitchen utensils very good quality Lodge was smaller than expected Some areas could do with a deep clean,outside area especially. Bathroom very grimy. Things left on top of fridge from previous tenants eg some sort of hen party or baby shower cards & confetti, ribbon and blue tac left hanging on ceiling where something like balloons or bunting etc had been hanging. Not sure why there is a piece of plywood underneath mattress on double bed. No information pack about site or area. Wi fi very poor in all areas of lodge except outside on decking. Only able to get three channels on bedroom tv and non of those the usual ITV or BBC Hot tub amazing
Michelle
The lodge was in a nice position and well equipped. Hot tub was lovely. It was not as clean as I expected and had to do some cleaning myself in the kitchen upon arrival including picking up 3 lots of dog mess from the grass behind the hot tub. Enjoyed our time overall though and made special memories with my family.
Very nice stay. Cabin was good. Clean and comfortable. Everyone enjoyed the hot tub!
We visited this lodge for a short break with our 3 teenagers and a dog. Lodge is in a quiet location and is was very clean with everything you need. Beds are comfortable. Outside decking is secure so ideal if you have a dog and the jacuzzi was great. The only issue we had was with the WiFi. Reception had informed us on arrival that there was no WiFi due to an outage throughout the area this meant this you couldnt pay by card in the site shop restaurantbar and hence cash machine had no cash. Had to drive out to a cash machine which was frustrating after a long drive to get there. Even when it came back on it was intermittent. Anyway goes to show I suppose how much we rely on technology. Teenagers were initially not happy but probably did them good being off their phones. All in all a lovely break and would go back perhaps without the teenagers
Our 2nd stay at this beautiful Lodge. Extremely well cared for by the owners who clearly care about their guests. Well equipped, clean and cosy warm with lovely furnishings. The hot tub is incredible and well maintained the coloured lights around are a bonus! Great location on the park too, tucked away in a quiet corner but not too far from the site hub. Great to be able to bring your dog to such a nice lodge! Will be back and would definitely recommend. Thank you for a fab Christmas holiday!
Graham

We had a fantastic stay here! Everything we needed was provided. A lovely lodge, tucked away and secluded. Hot tub was amazing after a longh and tiring day of walking.
Nothing we can think of that needs improving. 5s. The property is very homely and a cosy place to stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to book again in the future. Location of the property on site is perfect. It's very easy to find and only a small walk away from the entertainment complex. The Hot Tub is well maintained and cleaned daily. Will be recommending this property to Family and Friends.
Hi this was are second time staying at this lodge we loved it first time second time and have re booked for third time. Ideally located, tastefully decorated , very warm hot tub amazing also had power cut in area affecting the whole area which caused us minor issues however owners where very quick to respond and moved heaven and earth to put situation right we spent the whole week there and after all the hikes and adventures during the day the lodge was like heaven to get back too. Thanks very much Can't wait to go back soon
Generally a very nice lodge and well presented. The hot tub was great and the lodge was well presented. The location and setting was ideal, however several other people as well as ourselves found negotiating the park not easy especially at night with limited signage and lighting. We had an issue with the toilet flush on our visit which was promptly resolved by the owners by use of a local plumber. Our only criticism was the moulddirt build up on the bed bases and bottom of the wardrobe which needs addressing when near outside walls and the lack of dishwasher in the lodge. Apart from that, an enjoyable stay !
Gordon
We enjoyed a lovely week, 18th August, at Skiptory Howe. The position of the Lodge and the location were great, and enjoyed many morning walks down to the Marina. An added bonus was having the Hot tub. Facilities on site were adequate for our needs. We would definitely book again. If i were to add suggestions perhaps a Hoover, and additional tea towels, being provided, would have been a bonus, however the site does a have a laundrette which we used.
Samantha
We absolutely loved our stay at 40 Skiptory Howe the owners are very lucky people indeed. The property itself is very clean and in a brilliant location on the site one of the best i would argue. The site is close to Ambelside and Windemere and there was so much for us to do. Do not hesitate to book we made amazing memories with our family
Stefan
Very comfortable stay. Other than the weather everything was great. If I were to make a couple of comments is that the Tvs are to high and an electric hoover would of been a lot better than the push along carpet cleaner supplied.
Great place to stay with whole family and pets
Lorraine
The accommodation was really clean and very comfortable, really appreciated the little welcome pick on arrival until we managed to get our shopping in. It was a great location on site for us, nice and quiet. The hot tub was amazing and someone came to maintain every morning. We would definitely recommend and would rebook in the future thank you
I would suggest two improvements as follows The TV provided is old model. Does not give access to Netflix, Sky TV, Screen Sharing etc. Investment of around 300 on TV will be great. The two small bedrooms had 2 single beds I think 2Ft6in which made Bedroom very congested. Consider having a 4ft Bed which is sufficient for most couples.
Bethany
Great location, lovely lodge We had a lovely stay and the owners sent a very helpful email upon arrival of handy hints. Would definitely return and highly recommend. The only suggestion I have would be perhaps a shower mat for the shower, but as I said great stay and great lodge
Danielle
Me and daughter had the best time at 40 skiptory Howe! The lodge was so clean and homely. The owners Eileen and Graham were absolutely fantastic and so welcoming and helpful. We will definitely be going back. Thank you so much!
Erroll
Absolutely stunning Lodge. Best ever stayed in especially for cleanliness. Would definitely stay here again if we go back. Very comfortable as well and cosy. Only suggestion is for an outside light to be put by the steps as the light outside isnt bright enough to cover the steps. Had to use the car headlights to light up the steps. Two shower heads is brilliant especially the rain head however the shower tray could do with a lip as the bathroom floor floods. Hot tub is a bonus. I never thought I would get in one but it is brilliant. Especially after a day around the lakes. My wife wanted to bring it home. Other than that we had no issues. Everything was perfect. Well done to the owners Eileen and Graham for a perfect lodge. Erroll and Tracey.
Stacey
Lodge was lovely and clean and smelt amazing. Hot tub was great! Lovely fairy lights around outside. Beds were very comfortable. Lodge had everything you need. Walking distance to Brockhole which is fab! We would definitely book again.
Loved the place second time being here. Booked up for next month again as I remember why I came last year. very comfortable and loved the facilities. TV could do with some form of casting function so can hookup smart devices to play netflix etc. But that is a very minor grumble. One only issue when staying there which isn't the owners fault or real problem with the property was the noisey neighbours they had 3 dogs and were out barking from 4.30am till the owners eventually got up at around 7am please edit this part for online publishing as it's not relevant to the property and more to do with the people who hired the property
This was a beautiful lodge in a fabulous location. Everything was well equipped and perfect. Thank you so much!
Joanne
It is a beautifully decorated comfy lodge, well equipped and just like the photos. I will be recommending it to friends and we do plan on returning. We did have a couple of small problems, the owners got back to me straight away, they had a repair man at the lodge within 10 minutes. the owner drove to lodge the next day to sort the other problem out. Could not have had a better service.
Michelle
Lovely cabin to explore from. When we had problems with the tap and a plug the owner swiftly got people out to resolve it! No wifi but that didnt bother us too much as it meant the teenagers had to talk to one another. Would benefit from a bbq slab and the outside area could do with more than 4 chairs as the cabin sleeps 6. We would definitely book again
Nicola
Beautiful lodge , spotlessly clean and well maintained in an ideal position on a lovely holiday park , we were even left a few essentials such as tea and coffee for our stay , will be coming again ! .
Really lovely lodge, well equipped and decorated. The hot tub was a real bonus much enjoyed, Would definitely book again.
Small lodge, good location. Rude owner who accused us of damaging a cupboard door and then retracted this statement when we disagreed. WiFi does not work.
Really lovely lodge, well equipped and decorated. The hot tub was a real bonus much enjoyed, Would definitely book again.
Dorian
Having had a horrid journey we arrived and found the lodge exactly as described in the write ups and photos, it was lovely and clean and we settled in very quickly and easily and before long were enjoying the benefits of the hot tub. Everything we needed was in the lodge. We had booked the tree top and boat hire from brockhole and as it was so close we walked and used the ferry to get around, other than a day at the zoo. We found everyone helpful during our stay and Eileen was very quick to answer our queries when we needed to get in touch. The site is amazing as a base and we did buy a pass for the family but in all honesty we didnt really need it, we only went swimming once and the movie night, which had to be moved indoors because of the weather, wasnt the best but they did try and get everyone sorted. I would highly recommend this lodge.
There was a light hanging out of the ceiling the bathroom and particular around the shower was mouldy. But worst of all when the old kettle blow the electricity I had to climb over all sorts of rubbish at the back of the lodge to switch it back on. So bad I twisted my ankle and cut my leg. I have pictures
Having stayed in a few lodge's this has to be the best by far. Such a beautiful lodge with very high attention to detail taken with the cleaning before we arrived. The lodge smelt extremely clean with a care package of essential cleaning supplies left in the lodge was much appreciated. It was very well equipped with everything you needed for your stay. Situated on a beautiful plot very quiet with a secure balcony for the children to play safely away from and traffic. From 2 adults who suffer with bad backs we were amazed at the mattress in the master bedroom it was so supportive and maybe the best one we have ever slept on. The hot tub was wonderful and was checked twice a day by a hot tub company for our peace of mind and safety. The owners were lovely and friendly and always on hand to assist with and queries. Can not recommend highly enough we will be returning in the future.
Deborah
Fantastic well appointed lodge and better equipped than what we were expecting great owners who were very welcoming. This lodge has one of the best surrounding space on The White Cross Bay Park. Highly recommend it!
