Guests say
Guests consistently praise Skylark for its tranquil and beautiful setting, comfortable and well-equipped lodges, and the warm welcome from hosts Richard and Liz. The serene lake views, abundant wildlife, and thoughtful touches like wine and cheese add to the charm of this peaceful retreat. While most experiences are positive, a few guests mention minor issues with maintenance and privacy.
Reviews frequently highlight the lodge's immaculate condition and high standards of cleanliness, with guests feeling as if they were the first to use the facilities.
The lodge's location is highly praised for its stunning views, tranquility, and proximity to local attractions, despite occasional mentions of traffic noise.
Guests find the lodge very comfortable, with adequate equipment and cosy furnishings, although there are comments about the size of single beds and the positioning of the hot tub.
Facilities are generally well-received, especially the hot tub and fishing opportunities. However, some guests note room for improvement in maintenance, such as the approach lane and hot tub location.
While many reviews express gratitude for the thoughtful gestures like complimentary cheese and wine, there is not enough information to guarantee such gifts for future guests, and thus a score cannot be provided.
