Guests say

Woodside Lodge in WINDERMERE is praised for its tranquil and scenic location, comfortable accommodation, and the added luxury of a hot tub. Guests enjoyed the lodge's proximity to local attractions and the privacy it offers, making it an ideal retreat for both families and couples. The outdoor seating and the lodge's position within the park are particularly appreciated, contributing to a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Most guests found the lodge to be clean and tidy upon arrival, with only a few isolated incidents of cleanliness issues such as a musty smell in one room and a minor leak. The overall high standard of cleanliness contributed positively to the guests' experiences.

The lodge's location is highly praised for its quietness, proximity to the lake, and the surrounding woodland, offering a peaceful retreat and scenic views. Its central position within the Lake District makes it an excellent base for exploring the area.

Guests found the lodge to be comfortable, with good quality bedding and a warm, cosy atmosphere. However, some guests mentioned that the seating in the lounge area was not sufficient for larger groups and that the mattresses in some rooms could be improved.

Facilities such as the hot tub, kitchen equipment, and on-site amenities were appreciated, but some guests noted areas for improvement including outdoor furniture maintenance and the need for bedroom mirrors. The hot tub was a highlight, though some suggested it could benefit from a shelter.

While guests have expressed satisfaction with the amenities and the overall experience, there is no mention of any specific thoughtful gestures or gifts provided by the hosts. Therefore, it is not possible to assess this category.

About this property

Woodside Lodge is a beautifully presented holiday lodge in the Pony Meadow area of White Cross Bay. New refurbished for 2020, this lovely accommodation offers a quiet location backing onto a woodland area and is just a short stroll from the lake. Woodside Lodge is great for families with children sleeping up to six guests (Maximum four adults due to the size of the bunk room). Benefiting from a hot tub, this lodge is a real treat on an evening after a long day exploring the stunning national park. This bright and airy lodge offers a great open plan living area for all of the family to socialise and the double patio doors lead out onto the decking area with seating. Note: Some facilities on the park are subject to extra cost such as use of the pool, entertainment, bar and restaurant. 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. You’re also just two miles from Windermere village with shops, cafes and pubs, and three miles from Bowness boat landings, where the cruisers come in. Bowness is a cosmopolitan village with award-winning restaurants and pubs and quirky shops, a cinema and the World of Beatrix Potter attraction. Three miles in the other direction, head to Ambleside, another bustling town with shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants and of course, walks in every direction. This lodge allows two dogs however dogs are not allowed in the bar & restaurant on site, but there is limited outdoor seating where they are welcome. The Lake District is all about making special memories with your loved ones.

The twin towns of Bowness and Windermere are both vibrant, fun-filled places set within the splendid scenery of the Lake District. Both towns provide a range of amenities, shops and restaurants to suit all tastes whilst Ambleside offers the additional attraction of a boat ride to Bowness, the Lakeside Aquarium and Beatrix Potter's 'Hill Top House' at Sawrey. Grizedale Forest Park is within easy driving distance and is home to a range of activities including many good walks, mountain biking and the 'Go Ape' adventure park. The region also boasts many National Trust properties as well as a variety of water sports for those who prefer a more adrenaline-fuelled trip. Children will enjoy a trip to the 'World of Beatrix Potter' in Bowness whilst the villages of Grasmere, Coniston Water, Kendal, Keswick and the Lakeland Mountains are all within easy reach.
