Guests say
Guests have consistently praised Sherwood 34 for its homely feel, cleanliness, and tasteful furnishings. The lodge's central location is ideal for exploring the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales, with on-site facilities like a gym, pool, and spa adding to the appeal. The private veranda and attention to detail are frequently mentioned, contributing to a relaxing stay despite some mentions of road noise.
Reviewers consistently note the lodge as 'spotlessly clean', 'extremely clean and tidy', and 'very clean and comfortable', indicating high standards of cleanliness.
The central location is appreciated for sightseeing and accessibility to local areas, though some guests mention road noise from nearby roads. The location's convenience for exploring surrounding beauty spots is a highlight.
The lodge is described as 'homely', 'comfortable', and 'cozy', with comfortable beds and a warm atmosphere. The private veranda adds to the comfort, although one mention of a lack of privacy at night suggests a minor issue.
While the on-site facilities like the gym, pool, and spa are positively mentioned, there are mixed comments about maintenance issues such as the need for clearer signage and the lack of recycling. Without more specific reviews on the maintenance aspect, a precise score cannot be given.
Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches like blankets and a welcome pack, which enhance the homely feel. However, it should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be guaranteed for every stay.

This was not a day old leaves etc as there were cobwebs all around the veranda rail and the furniture. I think that a curtain or similar across the main door would give privacy at night when wearing night attire in the kitchen area. You are visible to next door. Otherwise the accommodation was very good and as the description on Sykes website.
