About this property
This delightful lodge on White Cross Bay Holiday Park is situated on the shores of Lake Windermere between Ambleside and Windermere. This spacious brand new lodge with a large sunny decked area has a wonderful space to relax next to the stream with a lovely open aspect looking out to a grassy meadow where you can spot deer grazing. This is a delightful spot for a morning coffee, your favourite evening drink or alfresco meal whilst relaxing after the day's activities. Inside this spacious lodge, you can relax in the comfortable open plan living area, which has a kitchen, sitting, and dining area which is a perfect space for friends and family to enjoy meals and each other's company with the patio doors open to bring the outdoors in. In the park, you can wander to the marina and lakeside, enjoy the views of the stunning wonderful Lakeland vista, watch the bird life or have a picnic and watch the lake activities. Alternatively, enjoy the super leisure facilities in the park such as the swimming pool and playground for younger members or bar and restaurant in the evening, which are just a short stroll from the lodge. Close by in Bowness why not take a cruise on the lake and enjoy a different view of the wonderful scenery or perhaps you may like to try kayaking or hire a row boat? You also have the Beatrix Potter centre, which will delight younger members of your party when they meet Peter Rabbit and Jemima Puddle-duck. On your doorstep is Ambleside, a bustling centre with water activities, cafés and waterside eateries and shops.

Signs were up for slippy when wet decking but it's an accident waiting to happen. The decking was covered in thick green slime. I have decking in a tree covered area at home and if u jet wash at start of summer it lasts all year thro. My partner had to go out and scrub the area we used. The key for the left hand French door does not fit correctly and takes quite a while to lock or open door and lastly a lack of trays for using oven. Apart from this it was a lively stay.

After a few hours I could smell very strong urine in the living area and investigated to find urine soaked kitchen roll beneath the rug in the living area. I decided to lift the rug to clean the area and it was very clear that the area had not been cleaned before our stay. Similarly in the master bedroom there was a used tissue under one of the bedside cabinets. Showing again that cleaning had not been thorough. Unfortunately this made my stay less enjoyable as I began to worry about what had and had not been cleaned, this is important during any stay but especially during a global pandemic. We had a small spillage on the sofa so I cleaned this leaving a patch on the sofa which again showed how dirty the sofa was. We were unable to use the internet in the lodge throughout our stay also. I believe that for the rate we paid we should not have had to contend with such things.

There were builders on the next property who were noisy and the facilities for recycling were not clear. The interior was nice though the bedrooms were cramped and storage space limited. The games seemed to be broken. There was very little toilet paper for the number of occupants. Several times large coaches parked in front of the building meaning it was impossible to turn into the narrow bridge and we had to park on the road . The local pub did a 'deal' for two courses at £14.99 but they still charged that price even though the two courses came to £11.50! Very annoying.
