Acorn Bank Lodge Reviews

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.
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
Catherine

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.
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.
Dianne
As described, beautifully appointed, well positioned fir childrens play area and The Willows lounge. Was everything we needed and more for a relaxing break. Thank you for sharing this lovely property with us.we wouldnt hesitate to book again.

Mr David Oxley
We had a lovely stay at Acorn bank lodge. The lodge itself was spotless and had everything you needed for a self catering break. You are aloud to take dogs to this lodge, we didn't but you wouldn't know any one did it was that clean. This was the only lodge on the park with a hot tub. It was excellent and a fantastic way to relax after nice day out. There was building work going on opposite the lodge that we were told about before we went but this did not spoil our break and didn't even know they were there, the work men we seen were always polite and let on. The location was excelent with just a small walk into town and the bus stop. We went to a few of the local pubs and the food and drinks were very good. The only negative I could give and it would be picking is that the lodge had a lot of steps to get in. It didn't bother us but for an older couple it could be a problem. Overall I would recommend this lodge and we would definitely go back ourselves. Thank you for a lovely stay David and Jen What did you enjoy most about your stay? Location and the hot tub. What one experience e.g attraction, walk, day out would you recommend for our future guests? Hawkshead brewery was really good
Mrs Tina Hume
We had a lovely family weekend away in lovely accommodation in the perfect position. The only minor drawback was the fact that we had stipulated children with travel cot etc, but the amount of stairs to the lodge were a bit of a nightmare with a pram especially in the dark. Other that that everything was great. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Chilling! What one experience e.g attraction, walk, day out would you recommend for our future guests? The Fizzy Tart in Bowness
Mrs ie Bishell
We thoroughly enjoyed the Log Cabin especially the Hot Tub! ! It was unfortunate about the Building Site but with going out daily it was not too much of an inconvenience. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Returning from a day out to the lovely Hot Tub. What one experience e.g attraction, walk, day out would you recommend for our future guests? The walk up Sweden Bridge fell.
Mr Tim Mcnair
Our stay at acorn bank was great. Very clean and well equipped lodge. Hot tub was fantastic, especially after a long walk. Location of the lodge is great if you want to venture into the town for some food or a drink. All in all a fantastic stay, would highly recommend. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Comfort and location What one experience e.g attraction, walk, day out would you recommend for our future guests? Coffin trail walk near grasmere.
