The downside, dirty cutlery, plates, cups, glasses, one was chipped and cracked, cigarette burns on sofa, cigarette stubs in plants pots on decking, cigarette ash on decking, pizza tray needs putting in the bin it was disgusting, the drains absolutely stunk to high heaven. The hoover was full and had not been emptied, which we had to do as well as wash everything, the oven was filthy.

Was really looking forward to our holiday and was impressed with the site, facilities and the lodge. Our holiday was ruined by the boiler breaking on Saturday afternoon and no communication until Sunday afternoon. We ended up leaving a day earlier as no hot water or heating. Holiday was ruined. However the lodge is stunning. Just a shame the boiler breaking ruined it for us personally

Very warm and comfortable atmosphere once you walk in and instantly feel relaxed. Facilities is all there, very comfy double sofas, beds were comfortable, bathrooms were very nice. However, bedroom 3 had issues opening the door completely as it was rubbing against the carpet really bad, so was bit difficult going in and out of the bedroom. Other than that, all brilliant. Hot tub was amazing and had really good privacy unlike some lodges is very open, had maintenance guy that came every morning to check the levels too. Lodge located not far from the reception and probably 5 minute walk to the lake which was nice. 7 minute drive to Bowness-On-Windermere. So its very convenient location at White Cross Bay. Lodge interior is very modern decor, had handy man came to fix an issue with the bathroom shower head and that was instantly solved, very quick service. Very happy to have stayed at this lodge, will definitely rebook this lodge in the future again!! Highly recommended!!
