Acorn Bank Lodge Reviews

Angela
Lovely lodge very comfortable everything you needed in kitchen was great and good quality. hot tub could do with a good deep clean we did not use it as it didnt look very clean.It was lovely to sit outside and the weather was great but we did find it rather noisy being near the park, but saying this would be perfect for a family. fantastic location and park.
Thomas
The lodge was ideally located near BownessonWindemere, whilst being clean and well equipped. We had no issues with the accommodation and was very pleased. The sporadic internet connection seems to be a holiday park issue, but it was not an internet heavy trip and 4G worked fine with our devices. One of the benefits of this lodge was the use of the hottub which for the first day was superb, however, it was not maintained at all during our stay which was very disappointing considering the premium we paid for the use of this. Our stay started on Monday afternoon until checkout on Friday morning. By Wednesday afternoon the water was cloudy and excessively frothy. When we returned from a walk around 2pm Thursday, we saw the person who we believed maintained the hottub leaving our lodge? When we removed the cover, the water was green and had a terrible odour, it had clearly not been looked at and is not acceptable after such a short stay. Having previously stayed in places with hottubs and had a hottub myself this should never happen and clearly the hottub didnt have the right balance or chemicals in it. This is very poor. I did call Sykes to complain and was informed that someone would call by to check the hottub in about 11.5 hours. We stayed in all afternoonevening and nobody had the decency to turn up. When I chased progress with Sykes, the line was closed for the day. A disappointing end to a lovely break.
We were so happy with our stay and facilities at this holiday park. All the staff were very helpful and welcoming. Our lodge was lovely and clean and well equipped, like home from home, with the added bonus of a hot tub which was inspected every day of our stay. Oh yes and the bottle of pressecco on arrival was another bonus.Highly recommended and we would definitely go back again
Lovely stay at acorn lodge, it was exactly as described, the lodge is elevated and does give some privacy on the decking which was nice, the lodge was warm and cosy and had everything you needed, the bottle of Prosecco on arrival was a really nice touch, the hot tub was hot on arrival which was great as well, I would recommend this lodge and stay again when visiting the lakes. The location is great for easy access around all of the southern lakes.
Sandra
We had a brilliant time. Everything we needed was provided. Very quiet. Loved the hot tub
Fabulous lodge ! Everything well thought through.
A lovely place to stay Needs abit of tlc. Decking has lifted in places Hot tub wasnt hot so didnt use it a lot Abit disappointed as we paid a lot of money for the 5 nights we stayed over Christmas
The lodge is absolutely perfect! The only let down is the wooden steps leading from the gate, extremely slippery my wife fell the 1st taking our for a walk. The decking planks aren't the problem but the little wooden finishing at the end of the steps. They need a non slip surface on them! with them been very short steps. But other than that the accommodation is perfect. Fix the step and this would be a prefect accommodation.
Excellent location and accommodation is just what you need for a break in the lakes. Hot tub was a great addition. Only issue we had was the smart TV wouldnt pick up internet so couldnt watch Netlfix on demand. My only suggestion would be to add some coat hooks in the hallway for when you come in the door would be very useful. Would definitely stay again.
This is our fourth visit to Acorn Lodge, and we have an amazing time every single stay. It's just a short walk to the center of Bowness and ideally located for bus stops. The lodge also has its own parking, which is a great bonus. The location is perfect, the lodge is always clean, and it has all the necessary facilities, including a hot tub. Each time we visit, the lodge has been updated to ensure everything stays in excellent condition.
Great place
Fantastic stay at Acorn Bank, the lodge itself is elevated providing more privacy with lots of steps leading up so anyone with mobility problems may struggle. The lodge was well equipped with everything you could need plus comfortable beds too. The hot tub was lovely too perfect temperature. We were not expecting a welcome pack including a bottle of Prosecco
The Lodge was great, very well equipped and in a great position.
Brilliant lodge in an amazing location, everything you could want in the lakes
The lodge was homely & comfortable, with everything you need provided. It was clean & tidy. It's in a great location, set higher up so more private & the hot tub was a great extra. We really enjoyed our stay. A couple of things to point out which may not bother you but for us with kids it did the Internet which it states is provided is none existant, couldn't even find the network 90 of the time & the smart tv therefore doesn't work either. If those things aren't of importance to you the lodge is a definite stay.
We had a lovely stay at Acorn Bank Lodge. The lodge was clean and comfortable when we arrived and had everything needed for a lovely stay. The hot tub was a welcome addition after long walks. The lodge is perfectly located and we cannot wait to stay again in the future!
Chelsea
Me and mum had an amazing time in the lodge, it was clean, comfortable and made us feel right at home. Thank you for the bottle of prosecco it was lovely. The hot tub just finished off everyday perfectly. What a brilliant little place to call home for a week.
Lovely lodge. Very clean, The hot tub was an extra bonus and was always hot. Pet friendly. Great site with friendly staff. Always lots to do in the lakes. We would definitely stay in this lodge again and recommend it to others. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here.
Sharon
Lovely property very clean
We usually book Fallbarrow through Parkdean and always get Oakside 19 which is lovely, but less private as directly backs on to playground. This year we wanted something different. When I saw Acorn lodge on your website I booked straight away as I have always liked the look of it on previous visits to the park. Wow, we were not dissappointed. A beautiful, spacious well equiped lodge with everything we needed. Wrap around decking and lower deck was ideal for dogs in the glorious weather. My son, loved the hot tub and used it twice a day. As the lodge is positioned higher, it gives a sense of privacy. We as a family really enjoyed this lodge and will book again for sure. Thank you for a lovely stay at L55 Acorn lodge.
Debbie
We had a lovely stay in this lodge, well situated next to the club house and had everything we needed.
Loved our stay at Acorn Bank Lodge, lovely and clean the property is in a good location on the site been close to the reception, restaurant and play park but not too close to be disturbed by any noise. The property is on an elevated site which may be a problem for some people but this information is given on the advert. with the added bonus of the hot tub whats not to love
Desmond
What a great dog friendly lodge, in a really good location. Clean and Tidy everything we needed for a short break. The hot tub was really good. Designated parking spot adjacent to the lodge. This was our first stay at Acorn Bank Lodge, hopefully we will return.
Great property and location, spacious, well stocked kitchen utensils etc. Hot tub nice and private due to elevated plot highly recommended
Yet another Fabulous Stay in Acorn Bank Lodge. 5 Stars
Beverley
Beautiful property and very clean . .. in a wonderful location ... we will 100 like to stay again.
Charlotte
This property was amazing, so clean everything we needed for our 20 year anniversary trip. The only thing was the WiFi unable to connect anything other then our phones, on an evening wanted to watch films but unable to connect our PlayStation. Reception very helpful explained that WiFi not strong enough as not password protected. Did notice other lodges had sky dishes and online stated they had their own WiFi. Other then this the stay was perfect.
Lovely lodge, equipped with everything you need for a staycation. Bed was super comfy as well. Hot tub was great to relax in as well. Its a great park as well and 510 min walk to the town centre which has plenty choice for food.
Catherine
Lovely to return to this fantastic lodge. Very comfortable and had everything we needed, it was even decorated with a Christmas tree. We will return again no doubt!
Lovely property in a great position! Close to walks and town with a number of shops, restaurants and pubs. Hot tub was great to have after a long walk and in a lovely secluded position
Beautiful lodge, perfectly located! Thank you for a lovely stay. Will definitely return.

Rachael
We must like this lodge, we have stayed 3 times now. I felt this time it wasn't as clean as it has been in the past, there was a dog toy under the unit in the kitchen our little dog alerted us to this the second we walked in and it definatley hadn't been hovered under there. The facilitys in the lodge are very good. Nice powerful showers, well equipt kitchen, nice comfortable bed. The hot tub, is checked each day, and was a nice treat after a days walking. We had an issue on day when we came back to the lodge and found we had no electric. It had been a wet day. We couldn't find the fuse box, so called the help line, who were very helpful. They checked with the owner who got someone from park maintainace to come and help us find the external fuse box. The fuse had tripped, so that fixed the problem, but sadly it tripped a further 3 times, so I do think that needs addressing, because if it is water ingress... the lakes gets a lot of water. All in all we enjoyed our stay again at Acorn Lodge. Fallbarrow Park is a great location, pubs, restaurants, shops and walks all from the door step.
Deborah
We had a great week at Acorn bank lodge and in a great position on Fallbarrow park. It was the most well equipped lodge we have ever stayed in and the bottle of Prosecco was a great touch. The hot tub was fantastic with super outside area completely safe for our dog. We could not seem to work the television in the main bedroom not sure why and a bigger doormat on entry would be useful with the dog and wet shoes. Thank you for a great stay.

Nice site close to bowness centre Nice touch with fudge and Prosecco on arrival Playground was a little rowdy with older unsupervised kids Cost of the accommodation was ridiculously high and this would prevent us from returning

Amazing stay at the lodge, immaculately clean. Everything you could need to make your stay comfortable. Hot tub was amazing. Bottle of proseco gratefully recieved. Hope to stay here again in the near future. You won't be disappointed.
We had a great stay at Acorn Bank Lodge. There was everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The location is perfect. 5 minutes from shops, restaurants & bars. The site itself is so clean & peaceful and right beside the lake. The dog was safe with the enclosed decking and we had use of the dog area. The hot tub was well used and serviced daily. We hope to return in the future.
