Lakeview Lodges At Makins Fishery

Lovely location, lodge had plenty of space for six people, all bedrooms were en suite and the living/kitchen/dining area was very spacious. Outside decking looks right over the lake, it’s a shame we didn’t have better weather to take advantage of that but the hot tub is covered so we used it even when it was raining!

The Lodge was beautiful. So spacious, asthetically well set out and lovely decour. You had everything you needed with kitchen equipment and things that were extra steps like tea, coffee, sugar ect. I abs loved the teapot (i actually want one now) Cleaning was for most part good. Loved there was both a bath and shower. The bath was quite big so very nice to use. When we arrived there was a xmas tree set up and lit which was nice to see with us staying over new year and the lodge had been kept warm for our arrival. Hot tub was clean and tidy. You can see great care is taken in these lodges for those who stay there. Staff was absent due to new year which was expected however Laura who helped book us in was particularly so helpful and lovely. Surroundings were lovely. Really peaceful and well looked after. All in all it was a nice stay and I would come back for sure. Just a couple of niggles that need ironing out.

The bed is mis represented on booking.com It is not a king size bed. Its 2 singles pushed together to represent a king size and this should be advertised as such. Especially for someone who has a spinal injury the bed was uncomfortable as the middle gapping where the 2 mattresses met caused a lack of sleep unfortunately. Pillows were flat and lumpy and had to ask for more the next day as again very uncomfortable to sleep on but it was dealt with quickly. No toiletries (shower gel ect) found but not so much an issue just again expectations versus reality. Cleaning could do with a bit more attention paid. Generally it was fine but in some areas like above the bath and the wardrobe there were cobwebs and dust. Not a reflection of the Fishery at all but First night our neighbour graced us with smoking pot from around 5pm til 11pm which caused the smell to be quite over run in our lodge (particularly the bedroom) which wasnt great. We did complain about this. Each to their own of smoking choices but when its heavily pungent where we was then it became an issue.
