I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in a quiet or walking holiday. There is a good bus service for anyone wishing to visit Windermere or Bowness

Arrived at 4pm but lodge had not been cleaned however after a phone call an emergency cleaner came out promptly. We as a family thought the two twin bedrooms were extremely small and one in particular you could only get between the beds sideways. The wardrobe in the third bedroom was full of ironing board hoover etc so could not put clothes in. We also thought one shower between what could have been 6 people is not enough. We would also choose a non dog friendly lodge next time as the smell of dog is evident. Having said this the living space of the lodge is lovely and having nice weather we used the veranda a lot with patio doors open all of the time! We also used the pass for Choices health club which was fabulous! We love White Cross Bay as a base to explore with easy access to various places and activities.

However I'd say the kitchen needs a deep clean. The fridge had a foul smell & the oven/microwave/splash back needed a good clean. We didn't use the kitchen for these reasons. However I'd say it's still good value for money.
