Buttermere Lodge Reviews

Stayed several times,love this lodge and location is spot on
Shirley
On arrival a lamp in twin room was propped against the wall broken, the base was smashed and left there, obv could not use . I did fill in a form to advise. Under hall mat full of leaves not hoovered. Skirting boards dirty. Decking slimy needed jet washing resulted in dog slipping needed emergency vet 500. We was aware when wet to be careful, but this was slimy and Didnt rain at all. Inside hot tub needed scrubbing on sides. Towels very thin. Front of ensuite shower as step in dirty.. Cleanliness was definitely overlooked which let this property down. Lovely location. Earlier in the year stayed closer to the lake high up, lodge was similar but cleaner.
Our third visit to Buttermere Lodge and just as good as we remembered plus lovely new decking. Spotlessly clean and with everything we could want. Lovely touch from the owner of a bottle of bubbly. Hot tub was so relaxing. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and definitely hope to return again next year.
Deborah
Buttermere lodge is in a great position on Fallbarrow park. We had a lovely stay with friends and our dog. We were disappointed that we did not receive a bottle of Prosecco on arrival as many previous reviewers mentioned. We also had no electricity on arrival which we later discovered was a park issue. Sykes holiday out of hours never returned my calls to update us with what was happening, however Parkdean staff were excellent. The lodge itself was looking a little tired in places with carpet coming away from joining stripsflooring and people need to be aware that the ensuite shower door is a little tricky to open from the inside! We will book again though as we love the position near to Bowness, hot tub and that it is dog friendly.
Arthur
Buttermere lodge was very clean and well equipped. Well situated for a short easy walk into Bowness . Nice quiet site in the park. Our second stay in this lodge,tried other times but it was fully booked. Very popular. Weather was good this time and really enjoyed our stay there. Will definitely try to book again. Arthur Murrell.
Nicola
This was a lovely comfortable lodge to stay in. The only thing is the beds weren't really that comfortable and there was a problem with the hot tub on the last day. That said I would stay here again as overall the lodge was very comfortable and clean and tidy loved the site it was on so quiet and great location to walk into Windermere lovely bar and restaurant and parkdean staff were lovely.
We had a fantastic stay at the lodge this weekend. The lodge was spotless, well equipped, and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. The location was perfect, with beautiful surroundings and plenty to do nearby. The lodge itself was comfortable, modern, and very well maintained. It felt like a real home away from home. Communication from the owners was excellent throughout, making everything straightforward from booking to checkout. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldnt hesitate to return in the future. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in a great location. Thanks again for a brilliant weekend!
Leanne
Lovely , clean lodge . As described and would definitely return again definitely recommend
Absolutely love this lodge. Just been for the 3rd time and a further 2 already booked. Fabulous location in my favourite place
Although on first sight the property looked very nice, however the showers need some work done to them! The onsuite shower is just unusable. The door is difficult to open when you are in. And it is so small. I am quite a small person, but I found it difficult to have a proper shower in it. We all ended up using the main shower, which was OK, but not what we expected. There are no drying places for wet towels, apart from a half exposed heated towel rail at the end of the bath. The cabinet in the onsuite needs looking at, as the doors feel like they are about to fall off! There is nowhere to put suitcases in the main bedroom! The sofas are not comfortable at all. You keep sliding down whilst sitting on them. However, the place was very clean and generally in good order.
Louise
This was my 3rd visit to this lodge. It was extremely clean and comfortable. I went in March and it was quiet, exactly what I wanted. Weather was very kind. Hot tub was super. Location is excellent for walking into Bowness and travelling to gorgeous walks.
Kellie
Our 4th time at this park, 2nd time staying at this lodge, wont be the last, the lodge is spacious, well equipped, great location.
This is our second stay at this Absolutely gorgeous lodge spotlessly clean again, thank you so much for the prosecco very generous and the christmas tree was lovely. Hot tub great after a long day walking. Everything in the lodge you would need great plus was dishwasher and washing machine eill be booking again for next year.
William
This is the second time we have stayed at Buttermere Lodge and it didnt disappoint it had all you need for a very comfortable stay, the bottle of proscco was a nice touch and we did enjoy that sitting in the hot tub. Close to all amenities Lake Windermere was a short walk away and local transport and the ferries if you didnt want to drive also nice bars and restaurants for the evening. The only problem we did have was that the hot tub wasnt very clean we had to get the maintenance out to address this of which they did very quickly. We will be definitely booking again in the future.
We had a great time at this lodge, have stayed previously. Very central location, we will be back.
A beautiful lodge on a beautiful site with the luxury of a hot tub. The lodge was spacious, clean and well equipped for a family of four or also ideal for a nice romantic break away for a couple. Just a few minutes walk to lots of restaurants, bars and shops.
Starting with lovely local couldnt fault , but the lodge it was clean and tidy l will say that but the Hot tub would not turn down so it stayed on 40 degrees to be told there is a thermostat in bedroom , could not find it after looking everywhere! ! , then the dishwasher was not working someone did try to turn it off then on again after Leaving it off for a day. A when it said DVD player in living area that was just for show as no lead connect to Tv ,after buying a handful of DVD. Not Happy after only being there 5 days and being August so top price. Would not entertain coming back after the owner gave us a complimentary 10 off our next stay there to experience the same problems no thank you.
Have stayed in fallbarrow Park for the last 16 years. This is one of the best lodges we as a family have stayed in.the cleanliness of the lodge throughout was excellent bright and fresh.hot tub well maintained. I would 100 recommend it and glady be back.thank you for the welcome tipple it was very much appreciated.
Back from an amazing chilled week in Bowness. What can I say about Buttermere Lodge but absolute perfection. The Lodge was better than we could have imagined, everywhere was so clean and the added touch of a bottle of prosecco was lovely. The hot tub was luxurious and was an added bonus. Everything about this Lodge is perfect, will we back you bet your bottom dollar we will
Finlay
Lovely, clean lodge. Only downside was lack of decent wifi. The park one is okay, but a bit hit and miss. Wife loved the hot tub and would book again in the future. The decking could do with a bit of a refresh, a coat of paint or such, but that shouldn't put prospective holidaymakers off.
Barbara
We really enjoyed our stay Buttermere Lodge. Lounge,dinning & kitchen and area where lovely & the beds were really comfy. We felt there were just 1 or 2 issues that could do with some attention, the bathroom floor felt very spongy around the sink area, the outdoor decking area could do with some attention. Also no information on any appliances, I know alot of them ate self explanatory but we could not fathom the microwave !
Fantastic lodge. As stated lovely and quiet and lovely setting with the surrounding trees. Will definitely be back. Thanks
Fantastic, well equipped and comfortable lodge which our family of 4 all felt very happy to stay in for 3 nights in February 2025. It was warm, clean and felt like a home from home straight away. The icing on the cake for us was the hot tub. Despite being only a few degrees outside, it was always fun to chill out in there. The location is superb and only 5 minutes walk to all of the amenities of Bowness, yet still very quite during the day and night. Highly recommended. Would love to stay again.
We had a great stay, the lodge was spotless on arrival. The lodge was equipped with everything we needed and more. Hot tub is a lovely bonus at the end of the day. Fantastic location for getting out and about in Bowness on Windermere without using the car. Would definitely return in the future.
Sandra
Lovely clean, comfortable lodge with added bonus of a hot tub. The site itself is situated within easy walk of Bowness which is a big plus all the facilities of the town are in way reach without having to use the car. Will definitely return.
Kashia
Amazing stay, everything to hand that we needed. Prosecco on arrival was lovely. Lodge is beautiful, clean and perfect size, hot tub was amazing and a great way to unwind.
We arrived at the Lodge on 22nd December 2024, We was absolutely thrilled to bits as they had put up a beautiful Christmas tree, also we were left a bottle of peoseco and chocolates with a Christmas card. The lodge was beautiful and very very clean I am very fussy with cleanliness and have OCD but this lodge was exceptionally clean. There was everything we needed for cooking. Bed was comfy, Hot tub was great, the location of the lodge was perfect. Our dog was happy as she could wander on the decking and have a nosey at people walking past without getting out as it secure with a gate. Would highly recommend this lodge and we will definitely be coming back. Hopefully we can book this lodge again for next year. No complaints at all, it was perfect. Thankyou
Fab lodge lovely inside and out lived the Xmas tree and hit tub and a big thanks ... Fab lodge lovely inside and out lived the Xmas tree and hit tub and a big thanks for the prosecco will definatly stay again in a superb location
Could not fault this lodge. Great location, clean, warm, and beautifully decorated. We visited the last week in November and loved the hot tub and the extra touches like the welcome bottle of Prosecco and the Christmas tree. Fantastic.
Sharon
What a beautiful Lodge. I cannot fault this. Beautifully decorated, immaculate and has everything you need. We had a welcome pack and a lovely bottle of Prosecco. The hot tub was perfect. I will definitely come back. Thank you to the owners, great customer service and generosity.
An excellent lodge. Unfortunately the bath plug did not work so could only take showers. It would be useful to have a brush to sweep the fallen leaves from the balcony.
This is the second time we have stayed in this property and this stay was as good as the last. Everything you need is provided and the welcome Prosecco is a very nice touch. Well maintained and very clean and the hot tub under the stars is amazing. Could well be booking for a third time very soon.
This was our 4th consecutive year staying at this lodge. On access to the lodge, it was clean to high standards and in close proximity to all local amenities. We would be visiting again next summer, but unfortunately, the lodge is not available for the time frames we need.
Pamela
Another great stay pity about the weather
Spotless clean, had everything we needed. Hot tub lovely. Nothing at all to complain about.
Nanette
Just returned from a 7 night stay in Buttermere Lodge at Fallbarrow Park. Very comfortable Lodge with everything that we required.The position of the Lodge is ideal to reach the site amenities and also the Lake. We would definitely plan to return at some point. Thank you. Nanette Hogan
Shirley
Beautiful lodge very clean and comfortable hot tub was amazing. Perfect location short walk to Bowness shops and restaurants. Other attractions easily reached by car and boat. Park facilities good handy little shop and coffee area. Bar and restaurant area very nice not to noisy comfortable and good food at a reasonable price, Only issue was the WiFi managed to connect to lodge WiFi but unable to connect to the internet and could not connect to park internet in the lodge only in the Clubhouse. The directions we were sent were incorrect said to exit M6 at junction 26 it should read junction 36 Also barrier code given was wrong not that it caused a problem we were just given the correct code by reception Al in all a wonderful week thank you we hope to return next year
Pamela
Wifi password in guide book but no wifi available. It says no internet once connected. It also seems to be in a blind spot for free park wifi never locked on for long but apart from that great lodge stayed here a few times and already booked to stay again
Absolutely immaculate in a prime position. We have stayed at Fallbarrow many times and this was by far the best! The hot tub was amazing. Booked again for next year!
Louise
Just back from a 4 night stay in Buttermere Lodge. Having stayed a number of times at the park, this was my first stay at this lodge. Everything was perfect, from the complimentary Prosecco on arrival. Hot tub ready to use, and so clean. The lodge itself was literally sparkling and clean. Including bed linen and towels. Everything had been thought of, soap, dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid. Definitely will be returning. Well done
