Jaw-Dropping Lodge with Hot Tub on Lake Windermere

It was in a perfect location/spot by the lake. It was so nice, hot tub was amazing and bed very comfortable, clean bedding and lots of home comforts ie toilet tools, washing up liquid, washing up cloths and sponge. I loved that. The lodge was well placed in between Ambleside, Windermere and Bowness. We had amazing weather when we went so it made our trip even better.

I was not told that the lodge was located at White Cross Holiday park where you had to get a barrier code to get down to the lodge. The communication regarding this was hopeless. If a text message was issued with exact location would be handy. The sat nav takes you to another place which was quite close. But if you are not familiar with an area this can be difficult. I had to call the owner of the lodge to establish the lockbox code as this was not given in advance of the holiday even though the money was sent a week before. After a very long drive to get to this lodge, to have stress at this point of the day was annoying.

Very nice and hot tub was great

Only thing I like improving would be internet speed in the lodge itself as couldn’t operate SKY puck I took.

Location

Towels were damp on arrival, inside windows had not been cleaned with children’s finger prints all over them, oven had not been cleaned, barbecue had not been cleaned if ever! Outside furniture cushions were green, mouldy and soaking wet stuffed in a cupboard, no charger for the vacuum cleaner which was flat, no board games as advertised. We contacted reception and they said someone would bring fresh towels and clean the oven but they didn’t arrive, false advertising as a Jaw Dropping Lodge!

Perfect location. very clean. Lovely big lounge/kitchen/diner, perfect for family time. Clean modern bathrooms. Very well equipped kitchen. Clean bedding & towels in every bedroom. Host very accommodating when I called with questions. Great hot tub with views out onto the lake. Easy parking next to the lodge.

Mattresses need an upgrade, especially the singles, not the most comfortable. Toaster is struggling & needs to go to toaster heaven.

Kitchen facilities Hot tub

No working WiFi all our stay Lego found in pillowcase (makes me wonder if bedding was changed) Dusty Fruit flies in kitchen

Well equipped lodge everything you could need

Very clean peaceful great hot tub

So close to the lake, 2nd row back so you have that little bit of privacy from the front but still can see the lake. Lodge is spacious with all mod-cons. Hot tub is daily inspected by staff that try to avoid disturbing you. So peaceful and views are absolutely stunning! Well worth a visit. 100% recommend 👍

Umm nothing! Just make sure you call the host when you arrive to find out number and location. Quickly sorted 👌
