We stayed in lodge 4. Brilliant hottub, had all the amenities required. Could do with sprucing up a bit, but great value for what we paid for the lodge in August bank Holiday week!It's a fishing lodge so absolutely spot on and perfect to use as a Base to explore other areas

We stayed for 4 nights with my 2 little girls and we had a brilliant getaway. The lodge was a great size, clean and had nice little touches. The kitchen was well equipped, nice views of the lake from the lounge & bedrooms, and everyone loved the hot tub. We cought lots of fish, mainly perch and carp. Can get essentials from nearby shops and so many options for days out to beautiful beaches and towns (around 30min away). We will definitely return to Upton Lakes.

This accommodation was unsafe (without running water) and did not meet the advertised specification.The accommodation was advertised as providing:A starter pack of logs, these were not provided and when I asked about them the manager said that there would be a charge.Gas for the BBQ, this was empty on arrival and we had to ask for gas to enable us to use the BBQ.Dressing gowns were not provided, which meant we had to use our bathroom towels when using the hot tub. The sofa bed in the lodge was broken on arrival and we were provided with a fold up foam bed.The most concerning issue however, is the fact that we did not have any water at all for the second day of our holiday and the morning of departure.

Had a 4 night stay: lodge itself was quite old and as such in need of some refurbishments. Although it was more or less clean and did not smell, this did not affect our stay tbh. Location wise would need a car to get around as nothing to do around the site. Internet was intermittent. Hot tub was old/small. On last evening had an issue with the water, it started to come out brown and then stopped, notified site manager, although polite he was not sure of the problem and was unable to sort it and as a result we could not shower in the morning as the hot water pressure was so low and would stop coming out. All in all first 3 days were ok but have stayed at better, shame about the water issue on the last night/morning. Recommend for those who want to be off grid.

Nice lodge, we've stayed here 3 times, the only downside is the lack of TV reception and poor WIFI, but its private and easy to walk out to the lakeside. I advice you take an electric fan for the summer months as the lodge can get very warm at night, also a sharp knife if your planning on cutting meat & veg for cooking.On site staff are brilliant and very helpful.

The lodge was probably a lot nicer 10 years agoIt was ok.. we wouldnt returnThe lodge and location is in need of some TLC. You can tell the lodges which are rented out, they have peeling exterior paint and look tired.Our lodge, at first glance, looked ok inside. It harboured an unpleasant smell, which stayed for the duration of our stay (we purchased air freshners but they didnt help much). The inside needed a good clean. Thick dust on the skirting boards and mold in the bathrooms was off putting. The Wi-Fi was poor too

We stayed in Lodge 10.very clean and fresh and has been updated with new sofas all new ninja kitchen utensils. Just a really nice homely feel to it.Hot tub was clean. BBQ on the deck was nice and the views are lovely. Already planning next year's holiday would stay in lodge 10 in a heartbeat.

We had an amazing time at Upton lakes, the lodges had everything you needed and the surroundings are stunning. Its not the ritz, but youre not paying ritz prices, and the outdoor furniture could have been updated but they were ample, and it didnt detract from sitting outside with a glass of vino listening to the surrounding birds singing with the family and watching the birds with their babys.We had two lodges, 1 booked for us and the other for family, both different and both nice. Familys had a sauna but it wasnt used so cant comment.Very limited WiFi but its very rural so we didnt expect anything else. Plus we did get internet periodically which was a bonus.. There is a village nearby that has everything you could need, plus takeaways and a big Tesco for groceries and fuel. All in all the family thoroughly enjoyed our time there, it was a really nice relaxing holiday and would visit again without a doubt, plus the staff were lovely.

Would be helpful if from road had a Hoseasons sign as postcode is incorrect, drove round block 3 times before trying turning. Didn't receive welcome email, no one on site to ask. Met lovely lady who looks after site who helped us. Lodge a bit tired could do with an update of bathroons. Road to lodges very rough beware.That said good location for getting around, clean but beware if you don't like the quiet as there a just lodges the lake and that's it. No WiFi and mobile signal non-existent.Suited us would go back again.

We had a lovely break at Upton Lakes The site is well maintained and peaceful Our lodge was at a fantastic standard and well maintained Although we stayed in a pet friendly lodge you wouldnt have known as there were no obvious signs or smells We were disappointed that we had not received a welcome pack prior to arrival with information about accessing our lodge and that on arrival there was no one at reception ( would recommend that if you havent had an email regarding check in you contact Hoseasons as there was no number to contact onsite)On our second attempt to check in a off duty member of staff helped us get into our booked lodge We had a little issue with our boiler however this was dealt with very quickly and efficiently The only other disappointment was our hot tub was not at a hot temperature and had very little jet pressure and 1/4 was not working at all Unfortunately the onsite staff were unable to assist as access was locked by the owner Overall a good experience with a few minor issues Would happily return with the hope that the hot tub would be fixed and at an appropriate temperature

We stayed in lodge 4 during new year. We booked before reading the reviews and was then a bit concerned with so many negative ones what the lodge would be like however we had the best time, the lodge exceeded expectations, it was clean, big and had everything we needed for our stay. Despite it raining the whole time we were never bored. Very close to near by food shops. The hot tub was lovely (although we did wonder if the water had been cleaned from the previous users however it didnt stop us from using it). Would recommend staying there and hope to one day return and stay back in lodge 4 specifically.
