Guests say

Thirlmere View is a spacious lodge with a great layout, situated in a superb location. Guests have enjoyed the warm pool, comfortable furniture, and the hot tub, despite some maintenance issues. The rooftop balcony and the lodge's cosy atmosphere have been highlights for many, offering a memorable family experience.

Several guests reported issues with cleanliness, including dirty dishes, sticky surfaces, and dusty areas. However, some guests found the lodge to be clean upon arrival. The mixed feedback suggests room for improvement in this area.

While guests have mentioned the proximity to the clubhouse and lake, there is insufficient detail to accurately assess the location's overall satisfaction.

The lodge is frequently described as cosy and comfortable, with comfortable beds and furniture. However, some guests mentioned broken recliners and a need for additional lighting, slightly affecting the comfort score.

Facilities like the hot tub and pool were appreciated, but several guests reported maintenance issues such as broken jets, taps, and blinds. The clubhouse's size and the lack of WiFi were also concerns.

Guests appreciated the provision of towels and the quick response to issues like wasp nests. However, the lack of hand wash and inconsistent provision of welcome packs suggest variability in thoughtfulness. While some guests mentioned gifts, these are not guaranteed and may vary.

    We were able to relax in between our outings to such as Brokhole, just a 15 minute walk, Fell Foot, Lakeland Maize Farm and various other places. The rooftop deck area provided a fantastic vantage point for daytime and night time relaxation and the hot tub was used many times especially after some kayaking out on Windermere Lake at the site. The owner kindly contacted us during our stay to see if we needed a change of bedding or fresh towels as we were staying the 2 weeks which was appreciated. Highly recommended and hoping to book again in future years.

    This was my 4th visit to White Cross Bay and it was definitely the best by far. Everything was perfect from start to finish. I was worried about the £400 housekeeping bond tbh because we haven't had to do this in the past, but I needn't have been, because the owner kept his word and the bond was immediately returned. I understand why it's requested because it is a beautiful lodge, with all the beautiful added luxuries such as hot tub, fancy fire, leather sofas, glass dining table, and you have to respect this gorgeous property! The bedding was lovely and smelling fresh, beautiful white Egyptian towels, the showers were brilliant, the dishwasher was an added bonus, a lovely big fridge freezer, and TVs in every bedroom. My son was overjoyed with your spare phone chargers, and all the board games and playing cards, excellent idea. Then there's the roof top terrace, we were so lucky with the sun, and gosh what a suntrap, I felt guilty sunbathing up there because not every lodge has them and the kids joined in the sunbathing because they could put their treats on the table, and the reclining chairs made them settle, nice for them to get off their phones and have some vitamin D! And see the magnificent jets going over the lake, wowzers, creating happy memories that we don't see at home!! The kids used the on site swimming pool every day, the sauna, steam and jacuzzi was perfect for us adults too, the games arcade cost me a fortune but we won about 20 keyrings, the food on site was perfect for lunches, the shop is cheap and very well stocked, the lake on site is pretty at night, and Windermere, Ambleside, Keswick, just stunning, absolutely stunning, best UK holiday by far, we will return year after year, yes I highly recommend you stay at Thirlmere Lodge in the beautiful Lake District. Thank you Barry and team, we'll be back next year ☺️☺️☺️
