“Great clean lodge with all the amenities that you need, only issue was the internet as this was virtually non existent until you got near the reception area.”

This affected the smart tv in the lounge although the tvs in the bedrooms were fine. Overall highly recommend if you’ve not got 2 teenagers with you.

Thank you for your very nice feedback and I’m very sorry about the Wi-Fi and an external Ariel has been ordered (a bit late for you I know) Wi-Fi is a Parkdean thing it is very hit and miss. Thanks again and I hope you will give us another try Property Owner
Katie September 2024

“This is a beautiful lodge, modern and clean, in a fantastic location on the park.”

It is really cosy, tastefully decorated and we appreciated the size of the sofas and master bed! A couple of small issues but nothing that would prevent us from staying here again, it really was lovely. Park Wi-Fi was an absolute no-go so make sure you have your own data if you are relying on needing Wi-Fi access and maybe a new hoover as we couldn’t get it to work for more than 2 mins and we do like to clean up after ourselves! Would definitely recommend the property to others and would return here again.

- Katie, September 2024

Thank you for your excellent feedback. We have asked for an external Wi-Fi aerial but Parkdean are very slow, we do hope you come back soon and thanks again Property Owner
Daniel Roger September 2024

“Lovely clean lodge.”

Used as a base to explore the area. A welcome pack on what is around, emergency contact details would be useful. However there was a drawer of leaflets which we found by chance. The sharp knives had been put away wet and had rust marks on but were fine once scrubbed. It was nice to have a few dishwasher tabs and washing up liquid supplied. Just a few more wooden spoons for cooking would be useful. Very quiet place too. Thank you.

- Daniel Roger, September 2024

Thanks for your feedback back, welcome pack with emergency number was left in caravan.We will put some wooden equipment in. Hope you enjoyed your stay, thanks Property Owner

Alan June 2024

“Accomodation was very modern and had all common amenities.”

However, the only WiFi available was provided by the park and was very hit and miss depending on the weather, which meant that we couldn't use the Freeview or Netflix etc in the evenings. I think we may have been willing to pay a bit more if the lodge had its own wifi. Cleanliness was a bit of an issue. As soon as we arrived, our dog was fascinated by the underneath of the sofa, and when we looked, there was a tennis ball left by the previous guests, as well as quite a bit of dust and crumbs. Under the sofa cushions were covered with hair, paper, crumbs and general dust. The blinds in the kitchen had a thick layer of dust and grease and the hob was also greasy. One of the handles on the window in the twin room wouldn't release so we couldn't open that window. Bathrooms were very nice, but small and hard to manoeuvre in and the showers are very small. Weather didn't allow us to use the veranda but we did notice cigarette ends on the stones along the length of the lodge. A welcome book would be a nice addition to the accommodation, with some local information/places of interest/location of nearest supermarkets etc. as well as some information about the lodge and how to work the heating. We did find some user manuals for the appliances hidden in a drawer but they were quite difficult to read. It was a lovely location but a bit disappointed by the points above. The kitchen rubbish bin was a little small for three people.

- Alan, June 2024

Thank you for you feedback I am mortified about the cleanliness of our property and have just made a call to the company that does our cleaning a member of staff(the boss) is going do take a look now and all the issues you have raised we be addressed. We have asked for an external Wi-Fi Ariel and have been promised this will be done.Thanks Property Owner
Jordan June 2024

“The property was modern and had everything we needed for an excellent holiday at the Lakes.”

It is very close to Windermere and easy access to town for groceries if you're on a budget. The property seemed well maintained and the only issue we had was the twin room window didn't open leaving it a bit warm. Cleanliness on the whole was good with the understanding the cleaners have a limited window to operate. Under the cushions and sofa were in need of a clean and a few dirty dishes hidden away in cabinets by prior tenants are the only complaint but this was a quick fix with the dishwasher and vacuum available. Thank you for the peaceful stay!

- Jordan, June 2024

Thank you for your excellent feedback, I will have a word with the cleaners.Thanks again and come back soon Property Owner
Christine June 2024

“We had looked at a couple of properties on this site and opted for 43 Pony Meadow and so glad that we did.”

It's quite a spacious place and it is in a lovely position. Quite close to the Marina. The sight itself was also lovely too and in very close proximity to where the Great North Swim was being held in which I was taking part on Friday 7th June (My Birthday) The only real downside was that there was no food availability on site after 9pm, (which isn't the fault of Sykes cottages) as after Swimming 2 miles in the Great North Swim in Windermere, neither myself nor any of my supporters were up to cooking that evening. I would consider 43 Pony Meadow again if I'm ever in the area with family/friends in the future. Thank You

- Christine, June 2024

Thanks for the lovely comments Property Owner
Paul May 2024

“Enjoyed our stay at 43 pony meadow ,the only issues were the fact that the was no wi fi, I did ask at the site reception but was told because the accommodation wasn’t booked through park dean.”

I would have to contact Sykes, which I did, they contacted the owner who informed them to inform me to try resetting the router of which I did, but it made no difference there was still no wi fi signal. I have photos taken of the no connection of wi fi taken over several days.The others issue was the vacuum cleaner,I like to look after other people’s property and it was impossible with the vacuum in the property.

- Paul, May 2024

Happy you enjoyed your stay, Wi-Fi has been a problem and parkdean are fitting an external aerial this week, I apologise profusely about the vacuum cleaner not now in good working order we will address this immediately, could you explain to Sykes your low comfort score please. Property Owner
Cameron May 2024

“Couldn’t ask for more, everything we needed was there and everything was easy ...”

Couldn’t ask for more, everything we needed was there and everything was easy from booking to the end of our stay, would 100% book this again in the future

- Cameron, May 2024

Thanks for your excellent review hope to see you back soon, please advise Sykes about accuracy of listing ? Many thanks Property Owner
Elaine April 2024

“Enjoyed a lovely week at 43 Pony Meadow.”

Lovely modern lodge, great location, well equiped, beds comfortable. However, on arrival, there wasn't any bedding on the super king bed, just the quilt and a blanket in a heap in the middle of the bed. Telephoned the the owner twice, who advised she would get it sorted. 45 minutes later a young man appeared with some bedding and handed it to me (no offer to actually make the bed though. Good job I had my daughter and son in law with me to do it, as I'm disabled and wouldn't have been able to manage). We are regular visitors to the Lakes. However, as not all people know their way around, a welcome book would be a nice addition to the accommodation, with some local information/places of interest/location of nearest supermarkets etc. We have always had one at the many previous Sykes properties we have stayed at, and find them an invaluable tool. WiFi non-existent. The lodge was super clean, however, a bit of attention from the cleaners is required under the couch on a regular basis. Our dogs ball rolled under there, and when retrieving it, my son in law found large clumps of dust, a crushed alcohol can, and chips.

- Elaine, April 2024

Glad you enjoyed your stay,will look into a guide, I will take your points up with the cleaning company, mortified about the bed and I’m extremely sorry,again I will bring this to the attention of the cleaning company and the cleaning under the sofa. Wi-Fi unfortunately is Parkdean and we have raised this before. Property Owner
Eleanor February 2024

“43 Pony Meadow is a beautiful lodge.”

Good location on white cross bay, near to the lake. Decor is beautiful and lodge amenities are good. The WiFi for the lodge is the Park Dean site wifi which is terrible/non-existant so if you have teens who live for connection then I’d have to say ensure you book a lodge here that provides its own wifi and not the one provided by Park Dean. The water pressure was also a little low at times, again a site issue I think. The lodge itself is really beautiful. Beds are extremely comfortable. Sofa very comfortable and cosy with the fire burner. We enjoyed our stay.

- Eleanor, February 2024

Thank you for your great feedback,we will look into our own Wi-Fi but what we pay parkdean on site fees Wi-Fi should be first class.Hope you’ll come back soon Property Owner
Louise February 2024

“The lodge was stunning decorated to a very high standard we loved everything about it !”

! It had all the facilities and more we really enjoyed staying here and will be back soon My only issue was the wifi the park dean wifi wasn’t strong enough so would suggest maybe a router of some sort privately thanks

- Louise, February 2024

Thank you very much for you kind words and 5 star review,we hope to see you back soon thanks again.The Wi-Fi is poor and we are looking into the problem,but getting a phone signal is also difficult I think it’s because of where it’s situated. Property Owner
Hannah February 2024

“Absolutely lovely lodge with lovely furnishings.”

Very comfortable to stay in. Beds are comfortable the only downside was beds were not made up on arrival and the duvets were not folded neatly on the bed just thrown on the bed in a heap which I would at least expect. We did not have enough bedding when we arrived trying to get hold of someone was not easy. My signal was awful in the area and did notice when I got home I did have a voicemail from them but was too late as I had to go out and buy some bedding for my daughter to use.

- Hannah, February 2024

I am so sorry to hear of the problems you had and will address this with the management team,I am willing to refund you for the bedding,I am also willing to offer you a free weekend,thanks for your other lovely comments please accept our sincere apologies Property Owner
Jane October 2023

“Absolutely beautiful, we loved our stay at 43 Pony Meadow.”

It’s in a great spot and we really liked White Cross Bay Holiday Park. The lodge was well equipped but there was no hairdryer, this meant I had to sit in front of the fire to dry my hair! Please could you consider adding a hairdryer? There was also no accommodation guide so we had to work out everything for ourselves, which was relatively easy, but it would have been nice to have it all there to read. Some feedback for Whitecross Bay, it would be great to install some sensor lights along the paths for night time, it was difficult walking back in the dark with my elderly disabled Mum.

- Jane, October 2023

Thanks for your feedback we will have an hairdryer put in the caravan,all the operations books are in the bottom kitchen drawer,I hope you will come back.I will mention to the park about the lighting. Thanks Property Owner
Vicky October 2023

“It needs more lighting around the campsite and just in general on the front of the lodge of 43 Pony Meadow as at night, it was pitch black.”

- Vicky, October 2023

Unfortunately we are not in control of park lighting but will mention to the park management about it, there are lights on the decking and the caravan. Property Owner
