Guests say
Phocle Lodge is highly praised for its tranquil and picturesque setting, with guests consistently noting the beautiful views, especially of the lake. The accommodation is described as comfortable, high-quality, and spacious, providing a relaxing and peaceful holiday experience. The grounds are well-maintained, and the lodge is equipped with facilities that cater to various interests, including fishing. The proximity to local attractions and the thoughtful welcome gifts add to the charm of the stay.
The lodge is frequently described as spotless, with one review specifically commending the housekeeper. However, one mention of dog hairs suggests a slight inconsistency, which prevents a perfect score.
The location is consistently lauded for its quietness, peacefulness, and natural beauty, with easy access to local sights and amenities. The views are particularly appreciated, enhancing the overall experience.
Guests find the lodge to be cosy, homey, and spacious, with a high standard of interior decor. The atmosphere is conducive to relaxation, although there is a single mention of a trip hazard on the decking.
The lodge offers a range of facilities, including a well-equipped kitchen and a separate room with a shower. However, there is a note about the lack of instructions for the Smart TV and a minor maintenance issue with the decking.
The owners' thoughtfulness is evident in the welcome gifts mentioned in one review, which included mulled wine and mince pies. However, as gifts are not consistently referenced and cannot be guaranteed, a score cannot be provided.

We donât have Smart TV so information on how to use would have helped. A couple of boards on decking trip hazard but once aware where they where was no problem. In general we had a great week and would love to come back. Thank you. Best wishes.

Beautiful views and the fishing was excellent! The new separate room with shower room was great for my dad to have his own privacy. Lovely wildlife to see and plenty of space around us. Only critique is that we always look for "no pets allowed" as we suffer pet allergies but we found some dog hairs and also discovered dogs bowls in the cupboard so this was misleading on the sykes website.
