  We had a lovely 9 night stay at Doormouse Lodge during the heatwave.

  We found it to be well maintained, clean, comfortable with everything you need, there were plenty of little extras too. My daughters enjoyed playing the board games on the table outside on the warm evenings. The lodge is situated not too far from the complex and the Waters Edge Bar & Restaurant. There is a lovely outside seating area overlooking the lake and a small beach. We used the swimming pool/steam room twice. We found the staff to be very polite and helpful and the facilities were clean. There is no shop on site but Aldi and Booths are only a 5 minute drive away, there is also a Tesco nearby. The Red Luck Chinese takeaway, Sizzle-In and North Road Chippy in Carnforth were all good if you don't want to eat out or you don't want to cook and only 5 minute's away. The Smithy Inn do amazing, reasonably priced pub meals. The George Washington and Shovel Inn are also good with friendly service. All are very dog friendly. We visited Morcambe, Lancaster, Warton Crag, The Old Rectory, Leighton Moss Nature Reserve. All worth a visit. We also enjoyed a nice walk along the canal. The lodge is advertised with a barbecue but there wasn't one there, so we were a little disappointed. There is an iron and ironing board there, which was a nice surprise as they were not listed on the advertisement. We enjoyed our stay at Doormouse Lodge and would definitely return in the future. Thank you Justine for all your help.

  Loved our stay at doormouse lodge.

  Beautiful furnishings, comfy beds and just a lovely place. Weather was very hot so take an additional fan as the lodge can get very warm but we were in a heatwave. Lovely outside veranda secured with a gate which was great for our cocker spaniel who also absolutely loved his hols. Having access to my Netflix accounts via smart tv was an added bonus too. Maybe a slight improvement would be on Wi-Fi and parasol could be replaced as looking a bit tired with tears. Lovely site, excellent facilities with nice and friendly neighbours and people on site in general. Site is large and Has a lovely walk for the dog around the gorgeous lake and lodges , ideal on the evening to cool off. Only 5 mins drive to Carnforth which has an Aldi, Booths and Tesco for your self catering needs. Also plenty of takeaways such as “sizzle in”for amazing kebabs. 20 mins to Morecambe for a lovely walk along the promenade and great views of the unique coastline with mountain views and only 35 mins drive to the beautiful bowness on Windermere and Ambleside.. I have stayed in many caravans and sites over last 6 years and this was one of my favourite all round holidays. Thank you for such a lovely stay we would definitely return

  We generally enjoyed our stay.

  Lodge is nice but not very clean. Dog hair covered the carpet. We had taken several videos and ended up not wearing any socks or not placing anything on the carpet. The owner did send the cleaner back. She vacuumed the living room only but it was not a vacuum for pet hair and made zero difference. We also were unable to connect to the internet for the entire stay. We were told that we were connected - yes we agree that the tv was connected but not any of our personal tech. Again video to evidence we were using the correct passcodes but unable to connect. Sykes does not accept video evidence?? Sykes pretty much indifferent as the issue was allegedly between the owner for whom we had no contact information and us. The owner was away for a few days and on return did leave a complimentary gift which was nice but honestly we would have preferred clean carpets - as dog hair was on the sofa, cushions, and bed linen. I think obviously when changing the beds the quilts are placed on the floor?? My guess. Internet access (bar the tv) would have been nice.

  We've just returned from a 4 night break at the Cedar cabin, family of 4 (kids aged 2 and 5).

  They loved the little play area and just the vast area they had to run around, it felt very safe for them. The cabin itself is nice and cosy but feel it needs a little updating, and a good clean! There was a lot of dust on top of the doors and down the sides of the bed, and the bed sheets had a few marks on them. We stayed in the double room, the bed wasn't the comfiest and there was only one pillow each. Also, my partner is 6'4 so couldn't stretch out because of the panel at the end of the bed. My son (5) slept in the twin beds pushed together and our daughter was in the travel cot that was provided. They both slept absolutely fine. It stated on the ad that there was a BBQ but we never found it. I'm sure if we'd asked for one though, it would have been provided. There was plenty to do within a short distance of the site, our favourite was Morecombe seaside town which the kids loved and was only a 35 minute drive away. We would definitely return back to Pinecroft in the future!

  Gorgeous place not overlooked & the lake area is so nice.

  lovely & clean & attention to detail inside with nice modern touches, ornaments to make it feel homely & the biggest TV I’ve seen! Spacious, loads of storage & nice little seating area on the deck, which is enclosed for dogs. Good little welcome pack too. You can hear the traffic from the M6 & busy A road, not that it bothered me & it means it’s so easy to get to. Couple of things that I didn’t take as I assumed they would be provided is a hairdryer & washing up liquid so we missed those & my daughter was gutted we couldn’t get the led lights working around the TV unit as shown on the pictures, couldn’t find any details on how to switch these on. it’s a bit of a surprise that the park do not recycle the rubbish, but that’s on the park. All in all lovely relaxing stay in the lovely lodge & I would return for another visit.
