We met friends who had travelled by train. They had a difficult journey, so it was brilliant to get easily settled in the lodge we shared and find there was everything we needed. The weather was a bit wet, which limited our touring of the area, so it was comforting to enjoy the lodge facilties. Thank you Shona. We hope to repeat the visit sometime in the future

As previous reviews have said the welcome basket was really great and I really appreciate the birthday card from Shona. This is my second time at south lakes leisure village and stayed in a lovely lodge further down (Doormouse) previously. Lancaster lodge is even better, really well maintained (sadly other lodges on the site donât have the same care as Shona puts into this one) with lovely furnishings, comfort and everything you need for a wonderful stay. A full sky tv package, Netflix, Amazon etc was great on those rainy days but they were few and the balcony was an absolute sun trap from morning until night with real good quality rattan furniture. A couple of minor improvements would be sofa bed seemed to dip in the middle so may need repaired/replaced with a normal sofa (the other sofa was lovely) and maybe an airer for washing. The four of us plus Bailey our Cocker Spaniel were gutted we had to leave after a weeks stay and I am trying to book somewhere else for the second week as this unsurprisingly is booked. This has been challenging as I am comparing others to this amazing lodge and ruling them out. I will definitely be back and already looking for next year. Thanks Shona for such a wonderful stay and everything you do to make this a great experience.
