    Very tired and unclean, stains on the walls in the kitchen (looks like coffee) when we arrived, black mould on the shower screen, floors unclean - lots of dust and previous guests jewellery down the side of the the bedside tables. Rusty towel radiators. Wouldn’t rebook/recommend. Boiler also very temperamental.

    Some of the rings on hob not working to their best (may need servicing). Shower and bath need attention (a little grubby) Windows were in need of cleaning inside. Minimal kitchen equipment but didn’t affect our cooking needs. Positive was we had an issue with bedding which was dealt with very quickly and hot tub was checked daily

  • "Unfortunately, although two cleaners were in the lodge when we arrived (yes we arrived early but then left to go shopping) attention to detail was not on their agenda."

    And attention to detail does matter! The sofas are stained and also have make-up on them. Childs finger nails stuck on chairs around the dining table and on the floor. Although the bin had a clean bag in it the bin itself all around the lid was dirty. The sofas had not been moved and when we pushed them away from the breakfast bar there was old food, childs beads and rubbish under them. Main bedroom en-suit the radiator is very rusty and unsightly. Window in en-suit unable to open. There is also a huge crack down the wall, again very unsightly. Second main bedroom you cannot open the blinds as they are broken. The main bathroom toilet sadly had not been cleaned and was very evident! plus the bath had not been cleaned to a high standard i.e. stains along the bath panel. More attention to detail, a square toilet with a round toilet seat! The light on the mirror is broken so very difficult to shave. The kitchen ceiling needs a good clean above the cooker and again attention to detail, the seal around the sink is the biggest "bodge job" I have seen in a very long time. The freezer compartment - one of the drawers is broken with no front on it. There has clearly been a leak and the wall paper around the windows is coming off. The bar stools are all stained. The decking - this was definitely not cleaned at all! Nor surroundings around the cabin - a child's armbands left on the floor near the hot-tub area near the bushes (not on the decking itself). This is definitely not a place I would recommend unless it has a full make-over. WIFI is free because it does not work - Happy to provide pictures.

    Bedrooms was a great size and such comfy beds. Main living space was ideal and having the table and breakfast bar helped with meals for adults and children. Heating was on tap, hot tub was great, with daily visits to check it. Only found the music centre on the 2nd day but was a good find.

    Only criticisms were boiler had problems having to reset it all the time when shower was switched on so shower was cold & some radiators were cold. Also the cushions on the outdoor furniture were wet through so unable to sit out when returning to the lodge, maybe an idea would be to ask housekeeping or guest to put cushions into the storage provided after use. Hot tub was great & really enjoyed our stay & will be looking at returning in the future thank you

  • "We travelled as a party of 6, youngest 11 months and oldest 77!"

    We have had a fantastic weeks stay. It’s the second time we’ve stayed at White Cross Bay, the first in Lakes Lodge. We would definitely return (and have already tried to rebook but unfortunately it is fully booked for the time we would like next year). The position of the lodge is brilliant with a large decking area and a fabulous hot tub. Added bonus of having 4 bedrooms. We only had a couple of criticisms: the cleanliness of the living area upon arrival (there was a lot and I mean a lot of peanut shells underneath the cushions) and the floor was quite dirty under the couch with pieces of Lego, assuming from previous parties who have stayed (probably more noticeable having a baby crawling round), this was however easily rectified as we just cleaned it up ourselves. The other issue was the boiler for hot water. We had to continually reset for hot showers, we managed but I expect it would even more of an issue if staying during the winter. Despite this a fantastic stay and as already mentioned, we would definitely return.

  • "We enjoyed our stay and would like to return."

    However, the lodge was not without its faults. We had to contact the maintenance people twice due to the tv was inoperable, hot water was consistent. We got very concerned about the up keep of the Hot tub. We had 2 visits from the hot tub maintenance people, one checked the temp, the other was hoping to just do the same but we asked him to check the ph levels and chlorine as I am aware that this needs doing on a daily basis being a hot tub owner! (Still not sure this was done) Overall the site was kept beautifully and we made good use of the marine facilities, Ian was very helpful and look forward to booking our next holiday at White Cross Bay.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry you had issues with the TV signal, as this is looked after by an external company, we did have to wait for them to attend. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused. We have checked with the hot tub contractor who has supplied us with evidence of the daily tests and checks carried out. Sometimes they may attend when you are not present as they only need access to the hot tub. We do hope this helps and we hope you will return in the future. Property Owner

  • "The lodge was very spacious, clean and tidy."

    The settling was hard to find at first as no signs when you get closer to the lodge. The lodge had everything you needed being away from home. We had an amazing few days at the lodge and location was very easy to get to and explore nearby towns by bus. The only one thing that hindered our stay was having restrictions on the hot tub use. We are very respectful people when staying in theses lodges, but not being able to use the hot tub early morning or later in the evening restricted how many times we could use it. We will book again with Sykes but maybe on a different site in the UK as we so enjoying visiting them. Thank you for a fab few days in the lodge and the weather made it all so enjoyable

    Thank you for your comments. We are pleased to hear that you found the lodge to be spacious and clean. We appreciate your comments about the use of the hot tub. The rules regarding the hot tub are put in place by White Cross Bay Holiday Park to ensure that other guests are not disturbed during their holidays. We hope you return to the Lake District again.

All holiday parks are owned and managed by a separate company to ourselves.

At certain times of year, there maybe a reduction in those services, which is outside of our control.

Commercial vehicles, caravans, camper vans, Hen or Stag parties are not permitted onsite.

You will be staying on an operational holiday park, which means work may be undertaken from time to time by the park owners during your stay. Although Lake District Lodge Holidays will always try to inform guests in advance if something may impact on a stay and if we have prior knowledge. We cannot be held responsible or accept any liability for park operations of which are outside of our control and which we have no knowledge of.

All hot tubs are maintained to strict industry standards and HSE guidelines by separate qualified independent contractors on behalf of the property owners. This includes changing the water between guest stays and checking the water condition on a regular basis.

Whilst every effort is made to have a hot tub ready for immediate use by the arrival time stated, this may not always be possible. In such cases the hot tub will usually be ready to use later that day unless otherwise advised. In such cases no compensation or refund is payable unless the hot tub is faulty.

Information about using a hot tub safely is provided at all lodges with a hot tub and on a prominent notice near the tub. All hot tub users should wear an appropriate bathing suit.
