Thirlmere 4 Luxury Lodge at White Cross Bay Windermere

Property was as shown in the photos online, was great having three sofas, parking spot was amazing and only a sub minute walk down to the docks.

Overall the property was clean but certain areas need a bit more attention, worktops and table tops weren’t properly clean, many hairs in the main bathroom and one in the fridge, few crumbs under the lounge coffee table. While there was a couple of small pans available it was a bit of an issue not having a decent size frying pan. This could be from the previous guests but the WiFi wouldn’t work at all until we took a look at it and reset the router which it then worked fine for watching movies on tv.

Everything. Great location on the site. Everything we needed in the lodge. Great weather, during our stay so we got to sit out on the decking and wander down to the lake. The lodge is lovely. I would highly recommend staying in this lodge. My parents have booked to come back.

Nothing

Really lovely lodge! We stayed here as a family of 4 over the Easter Holidays with our 2 young children and had a fab time. The facilities both in the lodge and on the site itself were perfect for us. On site, there is a play park, entertainment, a small arcades room, a restaurant, a small shop + a swimming pool. You do need to pay to use the pool but as the weather was so nice we didn't use it. Costa coffee is also served on site! The site itself was quiet and really peaceful. We really loved the location of the lodge and there was lots to explore right on the doorstep! Ambleside is around an 8 minute drive away. We loved it so much, we're already looking to book up again next year.

The lodge wasn't perfectly clean which was a real shame. One of the hand towels had stains on it (it did smell clean though) and there was some dust/hair on the bathroom floor. We dont feel the lodge had been deep cleaned to a high standard and this could have been improved. There were also some small signs of wear on the walls but nothing paint wouldn't fix. There was no frying pan in the kitchen either which wasn't the end of the world but with a luxury lodge, you would expect the kitchen to be fully kitted out. It would have been a nice touch if a small welcome basket had been left in the kitchen too with tea, coffee & biscuits. The welcome book left in the lodge was very basic and it would have been nice to have a bit more information about the local area etc. WiFi was hit & miss but we didn't go on holiday for the Internet. But worth knowing for others who may be bothered by this. These small improvements would absolutely justify the luxury title. All in all though we had a fantastic holiday and will absolutely be booking again!

The lodge was a good size and very comfortable, good location to travel about

Not enough information in the lodge on how things worked.. e.g TV, oven, things to do on the site, local restaurants, taxi service Reception wasn’t very helpful on checking in, opening times of reception and facilities No frying pan in the kitchen, no tea towels Also carpet grippers ( some are sticking up through carpets. )

Stunning new cabin beautifully presented.
