Guests say
Guests consistently praise Fountain View for its immaculate condition, tranquil setting, and well-equipped amenities. The lodge's location is ideal for relaxation and exploring local attractions. While some minor suggestions for improvements were made, the overall experience is highly recommended by visitors who enjoyed the peaceful environment and the attentive communication from the owner.
The lodge receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews noting its immaculate condition. However, a minor comment about a greasy odour from the BBQ and an empty soap dispenser slightly impacts the score.
The location is frequently described as peaceful and beautiful, with easy access to local facilities and attractions. The proximity to the lake and wildlife adds to the charm, although one review mentioned difficulty in finding the lodge upon arrival.
Comfort is a strong point for Fountain View, with guests finding the lodge clean and comfortable. The provision of quality games and a thoughtful guide pack are appreciated, although the mention of a need for a hairdryer and more towels suggests room for improvement.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the lodge being well-equipped for guests' needs. However, comments about the on-site swimming cost and a lack of certain supplies like dishwasher tablets and bin liners indicate that there is some room for enhancement.
While the reviews reflect a thoughtful provision of amenities and a helpful owner, there is no mention of gifts, so it is not possible to score this category. It should be noted that while guests appreciate the thoughtful touches, gifts are not guaranteed.

It is right on the Lake's edge and my 92 year old mum enjoyed feeding the ducks and swans. The lodge is very modern and spotlessly clean and well equipped. The open plan living is perfect for family time. It is in a good position to reach many beautiful areas. We booked a Christmas Eve meal at Longlands hotel which is a short walk away. The food was fabulous and hotel was very festive. I would definately recommend this Lodge and will be returning. It may be helpful to include South Lakeland Leisure in the address as we first went to Pine Lakes.

Just a couple of tweaks would make it excellent no dish cloth to wipe surfaces only 1 dishwasher tablet not enough for a few days would have brought my own if I had known no spare waste bin liners. Difficult to use key safe would suggest leaving the large key for storage cupboard outside off it as this seemed to be causing the problem and the soap dispenser in the en suite shower room was empty. Just a bit of constructive criticism hence only 4* apart from that a lovely place to stay.

Itâs very clean with everything you will need for a relaxing break. The lake and ducks are very relaxing. Lots of lovely things to do in the area. More information required to find the lodge on arrival might be helpful we wasted some time trying to find before having to disturb the owner.
