Acorn Bank Lodge Reviews

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 ... 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
philip
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.
Andrew
Absolutely loved our time here, Amazing accommodation, super clean and modern with every Amenity you could ever wish for there is nothing you need to to bring with you! The hot tub is amazing and ready to go as soon as you arrive, never had a single problem or complaint I will happily and hopefully stay here again in the future. Close to town centre 5 mins walk, and right near onsite bar and restaurant as well as cafe and shop, lake is literally round the corner . All round great place to stay!!
3rd stay here and it was just as good . Both bathrooms have been refurbished since last year making a great difference .
Daniel
Great, modern lodge in fantastic location. Had a lovely week staying there. Unfortunately, there were a few problems which took a little of the shine off a little. The WiFi didnt work until halfway through our holiday and we had to get a different router. It was sorted as quickly as possible 24 hrs or so but the instructions werent clear for use and meant an extra cost to me for kids data. The hot tub temperature was changeable. First couple of days, was lovely and warm but then went tepid. Again, somebody came and attended to it pretty quickly but, by the time it had warmed back up again, we were going home and so had 2 days of perfect temperature and two days of tepid temperature. The TV in the kids bedroom didnt work and appeared to have no signal. Something I didnt bother to query after the above. There was a water leak on the window sill at the kitchen area window. I have to say there was very heavy rain for most of the week so possibly a bit of an occupational hazard. The challenge of staying MondayFriday and checking in at 4.00pm and out at 10.00am is that the site cant afford to get anything wrong. And, unfortunately, the small things that I feel you pay a little more for, were the things that did go wrong.
Immaculately clean and lovely lodge, they was a couple of maintenance issues that could do with looking at, the lid to the hot tub needs looking at and the umbrella next to it is broken so can't be used, in the kitchen the window next to the sink has a slight leak when its raining, these are small issues and the lodge is amazing, we will be looking to book again we enjoyed our stay.
Our 2nd stay in Acorn Lodge. Perfect location. A really comfortable stay . Beautifully clean & had everthing we needed.
