"Just returned from 4 days at Honeysuckle Lodge, White Cross Bay."
The Lodge was super clean, extremely well equipped with everything you need. Comfortable beds and nice towels. The hot tub was great, super clean and a guy came every morning to check it was alright. We didn't use the indoor pool or the entertainment area, so can't comment on those. Nice picnic area with tables in the shade down by the lake, a couple of minutes walk. The only negatives for us is that there was no sun parasol to use, and as the temperatures were 24° and upwards, there was nowhere to sit outside in the shade, as all the decking was in the sun most of the day. Also, we felt the lodges were a bit on top of one another, although it wasn't a problem as we stayed midweek during term time, and it was fairly quiet. Definitely would recommend the Lodge and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

"The lodge was okay in itself but it was in need of a bit of TLC."
The dishwasher didn't work at all throughout the stay, the hot tub didn't work properly on the first night and then tripped out mid week and the bedrooms were damp. Also there was no grill pan. The other issue is the decking which at this time of year is absolutely horrendous to walk on in any weather and is a major hazard to occupants. The park itself had limited availability for the pool and the sauna was broke for the whole stay. On the whole okay, but expensive considering all of the above.
Thank you for taking the time to send in feedback. We are happy to confirm that we have now replaced the hot tub with a new one and also replaced the dishwasher with a new one. The walkways have been addressed with anti slip strips and addressed the issues you encountered. We would love to welcome you back in the future. On behalf of the owner, Lake District Lodge Holidays.

"We have stayed at white cross bay for the last 7 years but in a lodge we have always booked and sadly at present is no longer is a holiday let."
So I came across honeysuckle lodge which had good reviews. It was clean, cosy and warm. Couldn’t fault the lodge itself. The only down fall was the hot tub wasn’t secluded or private enough for us. Also it seemed to be a cut through at the back of the lodge for people, a digger and a car that parked there too (which wasn’t the lodge’s as that was empty throughout our stay). Another day a van parked at the side of the patio doors when we were having breakfast and 2 people got out to have a wander at the back and came back again. We just felt like we were in a golf fish bowl at times. Apart from that we had a nice stay.

"Myself and my husband stayed here for 3 nights celebrating my birthday."

"My friend and I had an amazing week at Honeysuckle Lodge."
Would highly recommend this lodge to anyone looking for a quiet chilled break.

"We stayed in Honeysuckle Lodge for 3 nights for my birthday weekend."
The lodge itself was lovely- very comfortable and felt homely. Overall it was very clean, however we used the oven on our first night and there were a couple of chips in there from a previous stay. We liked that there was a tv in each bedroom and one in the living room, however the one in the living room did not work. I reported this at the time of arrival but nobody got back to me for the duration of our stay regarding this. I was disappointed that the main tv did not work and that nobody got back in contact with me regarding this. The hot tub was a lovely addition and was well enjoyed, but not all of the jets seemed to be working. This did not affect the use of the hot tub however. The Wi-Fi worked very well at the lodge and overall we would recommend staying here.

"Everything was amazing but when we arrived all the windows where open and we had spiders everywhere."
.for the next 48 hours I didn’t sleep the first night

"We really enjoyed our stay in honeysuckle lodge and plan to go again soon."
We thought it was very comfortable and clean didn't want to leave thank you !

"Excellent stay everything was so clean and so perfect."
First time in the Lake District with my wife would thoroughly recommend to anyone Only thing I can think to improve maybe would be providing some extra bedding such as sheets and pillows and maybe some shower gels etc Otherwise a fantastic stay
-
"Absolutely beautiful lodge had a lovely stay."
Spacious, clean and comfortable beds and furnishings. Fully equipped with everything needed. Hot Tub was a bonus too. 2 minutes from the lake and only 5 minutes from the facilities. Would highly recommend and most certainly stay again :-)
-
"A beautiful lodge, carefully looked after by the owners to ensure a modern and well-maintained accommodation."
The lodge is really close to the main building and the marina making it the perfect location within White Cross Bay.
-
"This is an absolutely beautiful Lodge, spotlessly clean and contained everything that you could possibly need."
I have only given 4 star (would have been 5) as we had a couple of issues, one with the hot tub and also the dishwasher wasn’t working. The hot tub was extremely loud throughout the night, we hardly slept, instructions how to use it would have been good. We did figure it out ourselves in the end. Messaged Sykes for help the morning after arrival and were told onsite maintenance would contact us. Up until departure we never heard a thing from them which was very disappointing. Despite this we would return.
Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear that had an enjoyable stay at Honeysuckle Lodge. We take all comments on board, and will be looking into the points raised. The Lake District Lodge Holidays Owner Relations Team Property Owner

"Beautiful well equipped lodge."
Apart from pillows and quilt could be better quality in double room. Will definitely be booking again tho. Hot tub great.
-
"Had a really good stay at honeysuckle lodge and have booked again."
Lodge was nicely maintained and comfortable. Nice layout and well equipped. Outside space was nice and hot tub was well maintained and a nice addition.
-
"Lovely cottage, really comfy, everything was there for your holiday stay, well presented, and modern."
Generally very clean, just some little things missed, ie bathroom fans and cooker hood fan very dirty, however this didnt spoil our stay and we would defiantly return.
-
"Had an amazing time would highly recommend."
The lodge was fantastic well equipped it had everything you need for a perfect holiday
-
"Would suggest not rushing to buy ‘hub’ pass to use site facilities."
Expensive for use of small extremely busy pool, we were informed we could use the restaurant without a pass after we had bought it, but we didn’t. Lovely quiet site, access to lake for paddle boarding etc. Slight issue with hot tub was quickly resolved (having little experience we were worried about leaving it running so instructions would be useful) and didn’t stop use. Granddaughter prefers this holiday to Centre Parc so that is a recommendation in itself!!! Thank you owner for letting us share your lodge!

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay."
However, had a few issues with maintenance and the upkeep of the lodge. First impressions were not great when we saw the decking, needs a good clean down and paint. The flooring on the kitchen area was broken, a panel was snapped which my 6-year-old actually caught her foot on causing it to bleed one morning when she forgot to put her crocs on like we stated they must do so due to this. The jets on the hot tub are mostly not working also, sticker pealing away which just doesn’t look nice. Despite these issues, it is a lively Lodge and was cleaned inside very well for us arriving. We had a great time and love the park, it’s in a great location.
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad that you had an enjoyable stay, and that you found it to be clean. We will ask our Maintenance Team to take a look at the decking, and the flooring in the kitchen. We will contact the hot tub contractors to ensure that this is looked into. Thank you- The Lake District Lodge Holidays Owner Relations Team Property Owner

"Everything was perfect cleaning, well equipped, location and the instructions for check in and out."
We enjoyed our time :) The only issue that u may face if you have kids and you are planning to stay more than 3 days, there is no washing machine otherwise the cottage is well prepared for kids. Will definitely booked it again. Thank you

"This was our 2nd time staying at honeysuckle lodge."
We absolutely love it we do and will be booking back up. But, when we got there on Monday gone. First inspection of the hot tub wasn't the sight I wanted to see. It was filthy and had floating clumps of hair. It looked like the filter was broken and definitely open to the elements as the cover was off. We reported this to sykes and the lady I spoke too was amazing and said she would get it sorted ASAP. Later the next day the hot tub cleaning guys came. Said that the filter was due a change in 4 days so they just left it. This wasn't good enough. Next day the boss of hot tub guys came and seen. And couldn't believe it had been left in the state it was. Anyways 2 days after we got there it got sorted. The decking definitely needs a bit TLC too tbh. But still an amazing sun trap. The lodge itself inside is amazing as always. I said in my last review in Feb that the double bed needed new mattress and it has got an amazing, comfortable new mattress. The tiles in kitchen are coming up a bit now though so they need sorted. But, like I've said we absolutely love this lodge ans will be back.

"On arrival the lodge was absolutely spotless."
It has a well equipped kitchen, including a dishwasher. The beds were comfy and the lodge itself is nice and cosy. We’ve stayed at White Cross Bay a few times now and this was one of the better lodge locations we’ve been to. Not all the jets were working in the hot tub (we did mention it to the bloke who comes out to check on it), however we did still enjoyed it. We would definitely stay at Honeysuckle Lodge again.
Thank you for your comments. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We will follow up with the hot tub contractor. We hope to welcome you back. Property Owner

"Lovely lodge."
Booked this for our first family holiday with our 8 month old. Plenty of space in the lodge for all 3 of us and all his stuff. Hot tub was lovely in evening. Only minor issue was had to most of the blinds and curtains shut due to people looking in when walking past the lodge

"Beautiful property."
Really clean and tidy and felt like home as soon as we walked in. Only negative is the only wifi available is the parks one which wasn’t the greatest so we weren’t able to use the tv apps ie Netflix / Prime in the evening as connection wasn’t strong enough. Not a massive deal of course but thought it was worth a mention.
Thank you for your kind feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay. The WIFI is complimentary, provided by the park. We hope to welcome you back again. Property Owner

"A beautifully kept, very clean lodge with everything you could possibly need."
The lodge was lovely and warm which was very much needed as it was freezing during our stay, we loved the hot tub which we used daily. The park itself is very well equipped and well kept. We will definitely visit this park again and hopefully stay at Honeysuckle lodge again.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We are really glad you enjoyed your visit and the hot tub. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner

"Wow!! What a beautiful lodge"
. Perfectly clean. And I'm ocd so was perfect. Bath and an amazing power shower too. Only thing will say is the mattress on double bed is quite thin. So quite uncomfortable, the single beds were very comfy though. Even the duvet covers lovely and cosy. 1 blind in living room was bit temperamental so just left it down. The one to left of TV looking at TV. Overall we loved the lodge, we have booked back up 10/10 for us. Thank you
