Guests that stayed at this property said

Reviews indicate a mix of experiences regarding cleanliness. While some guests found the lodge to be clean, others noted it could be improved, with specific references to dust and the need for a more thorough clean. The overall impression suggests that cleanliness is generally satisfactory, but there is room for enhancement.

The lodge's location is highly praised for being ideal for a relaxing break and convenient for exploring the Lake District. Its proximity to local amenities and attractions, as well as the privacy offered by the hot tub and deck, are frequently mentioned as positive aspects.

Comfort is consistently highlighted as a strong point, with numerous guests commenting on the comfortable beds and the overall cosy feel of the lodge. However, some guests mentioned issues with heating and the comfort of the sofas, slightly detracting from an otherwise positive consensus.

Facilities at Footprints Lodge are generally well-received, with the hot tub being a standout feature. However, there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as problems with the shower, decking, and internet connection. While the lodge is equipped to a high standard, attention to these details could improve the experience.

The lodge demonstrates thoughtfulness through various touches, including a chilled bottle of wine for guests upon arrival. However, as such gestures may not be consistent for all stays, guests should be aware that these are delightful extras and not guaranteed amenities.

About this property

This welcoming lodge is located within walking distance of Windermere, set in a beautiful woodland and close to a holiday park that has all the amenities you could want for a perfect holiday.

Footprints Lodge has a lovely wrap-around decked terrace, its own private hot tub and attractive high-ceilinged rooms. With an on-site children's playground and plenty of amenities available at the holiday park, it makes the ideal family holiday location.

The comfortable open plan living room and dining room is light and airy, with lovely wood ceilings and a relaxing feel. The dining area leads through to the fully-equipped kitchen. You can bring the outdoors in by opening the French doors onto the decked terrace, or relax on the comfortable sofas in front of the TV. The cosy master double bedroom has an en-suite shower room, and two twin bedrooms ensure there's plenty of room for your family. A family bathroom, with a shower over the bath, completes the upstairs.

The lodge is set in beautiful woodlands next to a peaceful brook, and the wraparound terrace has garden furniture and a patio for outside dining, with its own hot tub.

Set in White Cross Bay, hidden away on the shores of Windermere, there's plenty to do. With a holiday park on the doorstep, you can enjoy the park's restaurant and takeaway or relax in the beer garden while the kids have fun in the outdoor play area. Unwind in the heated indoor pool or the sauna (charges might apply) or, if you feel like some exercise, there's areas for tennis, football and basketball, you also have use of the marina and private boat launch (charges might apply).

    The lodge was beautiful, so clean, comfortable and modern. The hot tub was amazing and if it hadn't rained every day we would have loved to have used the outside area more. This gives us the perfect excuse to visit again in the summer.
