Guests that stayed at this property said

The lodge generally meets cleanliness standards, but there are several mentions of areas needing attention, such as outdoor furniture and the presence of mould in bathrooms. Some guests reported the need to clean upon arrival, which suggests room for improvement.

The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, proximity to the lake, and the convenience for exploring the Lake District. It is described as ideal for both relaxation and local excursions.

Guests find the beds very comfortable and the living spaces cosy. However, some reviews mention the need for better mattresses and the discomfort caused by a hot tub mechanism near a bedroom.

The lodge is equipped with necessary amenities and a hot tub, which is a highlight for many. Nonetheless, there are recurring comments about maintenance issues such as broken fixtures and appliances, suggesting a need for better upkeep.

There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the property owners towards the guests. Therefore, it is not possible to assess this category.

From the living room, step out onto the deck and find your own private hot tub so you can relax in style with a drink! There is also outdoor seating on the deck so you can take in the stunning views on a warm summer evening. In a glorious setting by the lake, White Cross Bay sits on the shores of Lake Windermere with views all around to the spectacular fells. On the Park itself, there is a bar and restaurant with outdoor seating area for dogs, picnic area and children’ play zone.
