Guests say
Guests generally appreciate the modern, well-furnished lodge with its spacious rooms, utility room for pets, and strong WiFi. The on-site facilities, including a restaurant and games table, add to the comfort of the stay. The surrounding park is clean and offers pleasant walks. The location is convenient for exploring nearby attractions. Some guests noted areas for improvement, such as maintenance issues and the provision of cookware.
The lodge was often described as clean and fresh. However, there were isolated complaints about an unclean oven and swing bin, which suggest occasional lapses in cleanliness standards.
The location is praised for its quietness and proximity to local amenities and attractions, including Morcambe Bay and the Lakes District. Some traffic noise was mentioned, but it seems to be a minor issue.
Comfort is highlighted with mentions of comfortable furnishings and a particularly comfortable mattress. However, some guests found the bed too firm and noted issues with toilet seats and a lack of mirrors in bedrooms.
Facilities like WiFi, a games table, and kitchen equipment are well-received. Maintenance issues such as non-working lights, lack of cookware for the microwave, and a faulty key safe were noted, indicating room for improvement.
While guests appreciated the provision of certain amenities, there were no specific mentions of gifts. Therefore, it cannot be determined if thoughtfulness in the form of gifts is a consistent practice, and the score is set to null.
About this property
Located on South Lakeland Leisure Village in Warton, Lancashire, is this attractive, single-storey lodge, 67 Gressingham. Resting near a peaceful lake and enjoying a decked area to unwind with your family and friends, this two-bedroom lodge makes a wonderful escape to Lancashire. On arrival, park up in the off-road parking space before stepping into your holiday home, where you will find a washer/dryer to keep your wardrobe fresh. To the left, discover the open-plan living space; here you can kick back and relax on the sofa with a cup of tea and escape into a good book or flicker through the TV for a film night. The contemporary kitchen area hosts an electric oven and gas hob to prepare mouth-watering dishes, which can be enjoyed at the dining table for four. Throw open the patio doors to soak in the sun on the decked area and why not uncork a bottle of wine to savour a glass? As the sun begins to set, retire inside and locate the bathroom to indulge in a bubble-bath or discover the double bedroom with an en-suite shower room for a hot rinse. There is also a twin bedroom with ample storage, as well as a TV for a movie beneath the covers. Awaken with a steaming cup of coffee out of the decking; afterwards a short stroll will lead you to Waters Edge Restaurant for home-cooked meals. Explore your surroundings and visit Warton Crag Local Nature Reserve for a countryside ramble and immerse in the past at the 13th century Leighton Hall Estate. Visit the unspoilt market town of Kirkby Lonsdale, home to a brewery to sample your favourite ales and Devil's Bridge to admire the scenery, or why not explore Kendal? The market town of Kendal offers a museum to learn about the Lake District, a rock climbing centre to test your stamina and the remains of Kendal castle. A special escape awaits at 67 Gressingham.
The picturesque village of Warton is located beneath Warton Crag, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and has a village post office and two traditional pubs offering good beers and food. It is bordered to the north by the Lake District and to the east by the Yorkshire Dales. Walking options abound in the surrounding area, including access to the Lancaster Canal, and the rspb Nature Reserves at Leighton Moss and Morecambe Bay are well worth a visit.

The lodge was immaculate and surprisingly easy to find using the map provided. Very scenic & an ideal place to walk our pooches. Lots of places to visit nearby too. The on site resteraunt was lovely. We were even treated to a showing of the northern lights during our visit. Our only issue was the WIFI - I'm sure I received an email with the password but couldn't find it & the only form of contact was an emergencies only number. The dining/pool/ping pong table (although a bit wobbly) was a brilliant way to pass the time on a rainy day. I have already passed the lodge information on to a couple of friends who are considering booking.

We booked this for the games table and it was an ideal asset to have for family fun. The property was tidy, as described in the photos with plenty of additionally tools you might need (torches, blankets etc etc) Area was nice as well, not a huge amount of amenities on site but a lot of amenities close by and places to visit. Very good if you are bringing a dog also. Only small recommendation would be to include a welcome pack. we had expected even just a couple of coffee sachets and tea bags for when we arrived, would have been a nice touch.

Keysafe faulty, decking very slippery when wet. A lot of traffic noise from behind lodge, but got use to. Adequate facilities and clean.
