“Everything was just perfect Would definitely recommend and stay again”

- Miss Stevenson, June 2021
Mrs Wood July 2021

“I sent in a complaint email 4 days ago describing how the lodge was filthy in many places on arrival and I haven’t received a reply!”

! En-suite shower standing in a good 2 inches of water during use. Plug hole is unsightly. Great outdoor furniture, great Lake view, awesome mountain view, great kitchen electrical appliances.

- Mrs Wood, July 2021
Mrs Lyth May 2021

“Overall, the lodge is very well equipped, comfortable and inviting.”

The decking is in need repair/replacement, but other than that, I would highly recommend this lodge to anyone considering it. A 2 minute stroll and you are at the lake and the view is beautiful.

- Mrs Lyth, May 2021
Mr Phillips May 2021

“Lovely lodge in a quite corner of the park.”

We missed not having a microwave and a couple of things that might cause others issues. The dishwasher lower basket has some wheels missing and keeps pulling the right hand seal out and the en suite shower tray is draining very slowly it fills the shower tray

- Mr Phillips, May 2021
Mrs Salmon May 2021

“Holiday park was lovely and will be even better when all open properly.”

Very close to brockhole which was great. The lodge is lovely inside. Microwave oven wasn’t working I didn’t report it as it wasn’t too much of an issue but does need sorting. Sofas are very low and soft suppose just personal opinion. The decking outside needs some serious attention it is very worn and the banister bit at the gate was broken.

- Mrs Salmon, May 2021
Mr Kevin Saunders Nov 2020

“Beautiful lodge, clean and homely.”

Lovely and peaceful What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Visit the enchanted Forrest at base camp

Mrs Shirley Pollard Oct 2020

“This lodge is in a quiet part of the park and has a wonderful view of the lake and the mountains.”

A short stroll takes you to the shore and the marina, while the dog walk through the woods is on the doorstep and you may see deer if you are lucky. We enjoyed our short break at this lodge though it was ready for some attention and I hope the issues with the showers have now been attended to. The furniture was comfortable on the whole with a good sized quality dining table placed to take advantage of the view. The facilities in the kitchen were good with plenty of clean cutlery, crockery and glasses for our use. We would have liked a larger frying pan since the one supplied was extremely small for a lodge catering for six people, but otherwise we had everything we needed. Our little dog also enjoyed her stay here and she was safe on the enclosed, gated decking. The lodge was clean and well presented when we arrived. What did you enjoy most about your stay? We relaxed, enjoyed being so near the lake and appreciated spending time together. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Hire a motor boat on the lake.

- Mrs Shirley Pollard, Oct 2020

Thank you for the review, Shirley. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and delighted you found the lodge well-presented and clean on arrival. Noting you had a problem with the showers, these have been fixed. We will also check the size of the frying pan. Thank you for letting us know and please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused. Mountain View is a cosy three-bedroom holiday lodge with a view of the lake, a delightful place to stay and great for family or friends to get together. We do hope you will return again soon.

Mrs Debbie Kennedy Oct 2020

“Excellent modern lodge,fully equipped ideal for a family and dog friendly too!”

Would not hesitate to return What did you enjoy most about your stay? Lovely views from the lodge and walking distance to facilities What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Nice walk in to Bowness-on-Windermere via the lake

- Mrs Debbie Kennedy, Oct 2020
Mrs Isabel Taylor Oct 2020

“The lodge was nice and inside clean and tidy although would benefit from some updating.”

I felt the price we paid was a little on the high side considering the sofas and beds were not really very comfortable. The dishwasher seal was off and put inside the appliance so no use of that. Outside area is very tired and really requires some cleaning and paintwork. It was a nice location and although I given some negative feedback, it was nice but perhaps a little overpriced considering aforementioned comments. What did you enjoy most about your stay? weather What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? location

- Mrs Isabel Taylor, Oct 2020

Thank you for the review, Isabel. Whilst pleased you enjoyed the location, we are sorry that you found the lodge to be rather tired. This is the first time this has been raised with us although we will of course look into all you have said and advise the Owners accordingly. The dishwasher was checked on your departure and the seal simply needed clicking back in. A quick call to our maintenance line and we would have gladly resolved this for you at the time. That said please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused. Mountain View is a three-bedroom holiday lodge located in the heart of the lakes, with lake views. It really is in a great location and a popular place to stay. Sykes owner relations
Mrs Julie Trewhitt Sep 2020

“We arrived with ease, key code supplied as advised.”

Easy access, Lodge was immaculate, cleanliness was 5* which is important in these COVID times. It was furnished beautifully, had everything we needed for 4 adults, one teenager and a dog. Great kitchen area, lovely modern bathrooms, tvs in all bedrooms, good location quite near to Lakeside. Wish we could have stayed longer. Will definately come again, thank you. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The Lodge and its surroundings What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Brockhole next door, easy reach and loads of activities for teenagers/young adults

- Mrs Julie Trewhitt, Sep 2020
Mr Marc Weaver Sep 2019

“Well equipped, clean and modern with fabulous sunset view of the lake.”

Value for money and easy booking process. Access to choices health club was a nice touch. Whitecross bay provides a good base to explore the area. Well recommended What did you enjoy most about your stay? Sunset What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Brockhole

- Mr Marc Weaver, Sep 2019
Mrs Julie Humes Jul 2019

“First of all the park itself is beautiful.”

Staff are efficient, welcoming and friendly. Mountain Lodge is in a lovely spot - in an elevated position so you can see mountains and lake from the deck. The park and lodge location is level (good for mobility issues) although lodge is accessed by short flight of external steps. Lake is a short stroll away. Lodge is beautifully furnished and equipped. Believe the photos!! Extremely clean - so well done cleaning staff. Deck area has lovely furniture. a lovely quiet spot. Near woodland path - so great for doggies! We loved staying there and would go back in a heartbeat. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The peace and quiet and the views. Lovely comfortable lodge. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The Lake Steamers. Also the Haverthwaite rail/steamer combo. Drive out to Newby Bridge and park at the station (easy!) as other end parking is a challenge!

- Mrs Julie Humes, Jul 2019
Mr Ashley Mitchell Jun 2019

“We have just got back from a weekend break at the lodge.”

The lodge has great views looking out over the lake. The lodge is in a great location and gets the sun from morning till night so if your lucky enough to get the weather whilst there, like we just did its perfect. Its very modern and in great condition and comes well equipped with everything you need. We visited with our 2 dogs, with one been a 65kg newfoundland and it was ideal with no issues what so ever, there are tonnes of great walks to go on with your dogs all close by. I would definitely stay again. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Sitting on the decking of the lodge relaxing and taking in the views. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Windermere and Ambleside are both brilliant places to visit and they are both 3 miles in either direction.

- Mr Ashley Mitchell, Jun 2019
Miss Alison Hunter Jun 2019

“The cabin was lovely, very comfortable, decorated to a high spec and quite spacious as it slept 6 of us no problem.”

It was clean and everything you need is to hand. The views are to die for and sitting on the deck with a drink watching the sun go down was pure bliss. The kids loved the park, plenty to do, swimming facilities were good and it was nice to be able to let the kids play outside. The only thing that disappointing was the time waiting in a queue at the bar for a drink. But I understand this is nothing to do with the renting of the lodges. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Family time What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? If you have kids then there is a great adventure place next door called Brockholes, well worth a visit.

- Miss Alison Hunter, Jun 2019

Thank you for your review, Alison and it is pleasing to hear you enjoyed your stay. This is a lovely place to relax and unwind with the family. A super location for an unforgettable holiday in the Lakes - and Brockhole is an excellent day out. Add to that the lodge is beautifully presented and with lake views. Where better to be? We do hope you will return for another stay soon. Sykes owner relations
Mr Simon Bennett Apr 2019

“Once again we had an amazing week in the most wonderful Lake District.”

Mountain View is an excellent lodge in an excellent location to use as our base. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Sitting on the decking in the sunshine taking in the wonderful view of the lake What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Catching the boat from Brockhole to Waterhead, coffee and cake, then the launch to Wray Castle to enjoy the 4 mile walk on the far shore of Windermere, taking the launch and boat back to Brockhole via Bowness-on-Windermere. A wonderful day.

- Mr Simon Bennett, Apr 2019
Mrs Pamela Callan Jan 2019

“On arrival we found the lodge had been decorated for xmas and lots of xmas extras (eg napkins,crockery,etc) which was lovely.”

The lodge was warm and cosy with beautiful views. Plenty to do over Christmas with craft functions on as well as festive activities, swimming pool, bar and restaurant open as well as lovely walks and visits to Bowness.

Walks, visits to nearby towns, motor museum and local zoo which was so special for the children over xmas (the prices, events they had included and food, just well thought out) What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? All

- Mrs Pamela Callan, Jan 2019
Dr Joanne Milner Nov 2018

“Had a lovely weekend staying in this lodge.”

It was very modern, clean, and well equipped with everything we needed. Great combined living space and good soundproofing between this and the bedrooms. The lake view was a surprise. It was a wet weekend so we were unable to use the patio set on the terrace but will be back to appreciate the external views on a warmer weekend. All in all a very lovely stay. Just wish we could have stayed longer. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Other than being near Windermere, the lovely cosy lodge. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? A walk to Bowness Bay stopping for a drink or two on the way.

- Dr Joanne Milner, Nov 2018
Mr Rebecca Cowl Oct 2018

“We stayed as two couples with children in this lodge and it suited us perfectly.”

We found the whole process very easy checking in and finding the lodge and arrived to find it perfectly clean and cozy. We would definitely stay here again What did you enjoy most about your stay? The view on a morning What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Brockhole Visitor Centre

Mrs Katie Garner Sep 2018

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mountain view.”

The location of the park and the lodge within the park are exceptional. The view of the hills and the lake from the lodge was lovely. Our first evening was dry and sunny and we enjoyed gin and tonics on the deck. The children enjoyed the pool and we all enjoyed some nice walks around Rydal and Tarn Howes. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Having the space to be together. Grandparents, parents, children and dog. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? A cosy, hearty pub meal in the clouds at the Kirkstone Inn.

- Mrs Katie Garner, Sep 2018
Mr Ian Bramley Sep 2018

“The lodge was clean lovely location as you can look out of front Windows and see the lake which is only a couple of minutes walk.”

Mr Paul Munro Aug 2018

“That good we have booked to go back .”

the weather was great , went to bowness and went on boat ride .lovely place to visit clubhouse good and lots to do for kids . the only downside is the pool is a bit deep for kids as they dont have a baby end which means the kid s have to be a bit older to use it What did you enjoy most about your stay? great place to visit What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? boat ride on windermere

- Mr Paul Munro, Aug 2018
Mr Richard Freer Aug 2018

“The lodge itself was fine, no issues.”

Dog friendly decking was excellent as we could let our dog wander about without fear of him getting out. Campsite was outdated and lacking facilities, gym only small, shop was tiny and lacked necessities such as bread and milk as early as 9am. Pool facilities inadequate for the size of park and had to book a time slot Insufficient thought put into those with dogs. Lack of outdoor seating at camp restaurant for dog owners so didn't even attempt ti eat there. Would recommend Mountain View, but not the site. Saw a dead rat on one of the main pathways through camp and it was still there a week later! What did you enjoy most about your stay? We enjoyed the lodge and our stay, but the facilities at White Cross Bay as previously stated were inadiqute. Payed ?15 for use of pool, booked a slot, and were thrown out wthin 30 minutes so didnt bother going back. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Going to The Arts Bar in Bowness. Cocktails and food were fabulous & they were dog friendly!

- Mr Richard Freer, Aug 2018

Thanks for your review, Richard. We were sorry to hear you comments about the park itself and we have passed these on to the park management for their information. Guests who book through us have free use of the excellent local health club (Choices) just 2 minutes drive from White Cross Bay which has a gym, pool, sauna and spa pool. This offers much more flexibility with longer opening hours. That aside we were delighted to hear you liked the lodge. Mountain view is certainly very popular with guests offering clean accommodation with views across to the lake. Sykes owner relations
Mr Ed Clegg Aug 2018

“Very clean, great views, though not on the most picturesque part of the White Cross Bay site.”

Mr Colin Trappe Jun 2018

“A very good lodge.”

Located in the Pony Meadow area of the site. As the name suggests the lodge has mountains and lake views from the decking area. Quite close to the lake side. Numerous good walks direct from the site including relatively easy access to Wansfell Pike and Troutbeck. It is possible to walk to Ambleside avoiding the road most of the way. White Cross Bay Park is well maintained and, on the numerous times we have stayed there has been generally quite quiet. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Easy access to the Great North Swim location and the walks on the following days. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The circular walk round Rydal Water is a good option on the day of departure particularly if followed by lunch at the Watermill Inn at Ings which has it?s own brewery and is extremely dog friendly.

- Mr Colin Trappe, Jun 2018

Miss Rachel Bannister Dec 2017

“The decision to stay at Mountain View in mid-November was very last minute, and the booking took place only 4 days prior to our scheduled arrival.”

Despite this, the team were excellent in handling my booking and catering for our needs prior to arrival. The lodge was in excellent condition when we arrived and was the perfect place for our first visit to the Lake District. The location of the site is ideal for visiting the local towns of Ambleside and Windermere and the views on a clear Autumn morning were perfect. Whilst the flooding hampered our ability to enjoy some of the walks we had anticipated, it is to be expected for the time of year and wouldn't put us off choosing this location and accommodation for another stay in the Lakes. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The location of the lodge gave excellent views of Lake Windermere, and were in close proximity to local towns What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Walk around the local town of Ambleside to experience the heart of the Lake District

- Mrs Debra Hilton, Nov 2017

Thank you for your kind comments, Debra. We were so pleased to hear you had another enjoyable experience. Mountain View is beautifully presented and with stunning lake views. An ideal base for a relaxing and comfortable break in the Lakes. We assume you enjoyed the Ambleside Christmas light switch on, a very popular yearly event. We look forward to welcoming you again next year? Sykes owner relations
Mr Michael Peaker Oct 2017

“We enjoyed our stay in a comfortable lodge with good views.”

Lovely place to come back to and relax after being out most of the day. Comfy beds and all mod cons. Weather not great so not able to use decking area as much as we would have liked. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Peace and quiet What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Tarn Hows is not to be missed

- Mr Michael Peaker, Oct 2017
Mr Graeme Wright Oct 2017

“Don't know who cleaned /prepared the lodge for our arrival, but they deserve a special thanks.”

the lodge was like a show home. The only negative aspect was upon arrival I climbed the steps to the outside decking area and gained 12 pairs of legs going in 25 different directions. upon gaining my balance I noticed on my second foray up the steps a small notice warning of the slippery nature of a wet deck. Please either use a nonslip material on the deck and stairs similiar to my daughter's lodge, or enlarge the warning sign. As we were attending a wedding I only sampled the breakfast in the site restaurant, it was excellent as was the service and cleanliness. What did you enjoy most about your stay? close to wedding venue What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? no comment

Miss Victoria Corrigan Jul 2017

“The lodge was clean and very comfortable and the out door space was bigger than expected with comfy loungers and a large table.”

The tv in the living room had a dvd which was a bonus. We could not find fault with this accomodation. We were so pleased with it especially how clean it was considering it took dogs. Only issue we had was finding space in the cupboards to store groceries. But we had a shuffel about and managed. The park itself it perfect. The complex is small but that is what we wanted. No hussel and bussel. Great outdoor parks for the kids. And and a kids club house with various activities for all ages. Well recommed a trip to Brockhole. 1 min drive left as you come out of the park. We spent 3 days there in glorious sunshine and it was amazing x What did you enjoy most about your stay? The Weather but also the location What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Brockhole visitor centre

Mr David Goldstraw Nov 2016

“This was our first stay on White Cross Bay and I have to say it is well run and tidy and you feel relaxed as soon as you arrive.”

The lodge is easy to find once you get your head around the map and using the coded key safe easy to get into. On arrival the lodge was immaculate the surfaces dust free and windows gleaming, sadly we soon cluttered it up with pour belongings! The lodge is slightly less wide than ones we have stayed in before but it was not a problem for us and the children loved the novelty of the bunk beds. The other beds were very comfy and the line and towels were of excellent quality. The kitchen had everything you could need down to cling film, salt, pepper and sachets of vinegar, plenty of clean crockery and cutlery, amazingly clean fridge and oven plus plenty of hot water and very efficient central heating. The TV was good and the built in DVD was excellent, the settees were comfy and the outdoor furniture amazing, it was so nice to sit outside on the cushions and take in the air whilst enjoying a morning cuppa or any time of day really. The first morning we were all amazed by the gorgeous view and could then see why the lodge is so aptly named. We didn't use the on site pool or eat in the bar, we were disappointed with the entertainment as we have been used to Fallbarrow and the excellent activities there but it didn't spoil our stay and can highly recommend it as a get away from it all in lovely tranquil surroundings and comfortable accommodation. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The wonderful lodge What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? South Lakes Safari Zoo for a day out and Orrest Head for an easy but worthwhile walk

“The lodge was a perfect getaway retreat and met all expectations of a luxury lodge.”

Clean comfortable and well furnished and a great location. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The lodge was as advertised with no nasty surprises.

The " nets " at National Park were fun

- Mr Keith Noble, Oct 2016

Thank you for the kind comments and letting us know that the lodge met all your expectations, Keith.

“Beautiful location.”

Lodge was to an extremely high standard which far exceeded expectations.There is much to do both within walking distance of the campsite or just a short drive away .

Miss Kathryn Green Aug 2016

“We visited as a group of 6 girls.”

The lodge was well presented and had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. It is situated in a back row of lodges , slightly higher than others so it gains a view towards the lake and distant mountain scenery. There was little noise around at night so was nice and peaceful. From here you can walk to the lakeside where there are private boats moored up and see lovely sunsets. We liked that it had outdoor furniture, tv with DVD player and candles for that extra special touch. The only complaint we had is that the beds were worn through to the springs so weren't very comfortable. Also we got quite lost trying to find the lodge. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Scenery What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Boats on Lake Windermere

- Miss Kathryn Green, Aug 2016

Thank you for reviewing your stay at Mountain View, Kathryn. We were sorry to hear there was an issue with the mattress in the bunk room. We have checked the beds and passed on your comments to the lodge owners for their consideration ? thank you for letting us know. We do find that comfort is a personal preference although it is vital we check these issues when raised and monitor future feedback comments. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.

We were pleased to hear the issues raised did not impact too much on your stay and you all went on to have a comfortable and enjoyable time together. Taking in the scenery and views of the lake from the comfort of the terrace are a delightful and relaxing way to spend an evening. We look forward to you returning in the near future (complete with your loyalty discount!). Sykes owner relations
Mr Peter Lewis Aug 2016

“Lovely lodge in a great location.”

However one morning we were woken up to a building site inched from our lodge. There had been no pre-warning and when I contacted Lake District Lodge Holidays they said it was nothing to do with them and I would need to see reception. Went to reception and they also said it was nothing to do with them. We didn't let it spoil the holiday but was a very poor experience. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Walking in the mountains What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Striding Edge

- Mr Peter Lewis, Aug 2016

Thank you for your comments, Peter. We were very sorry to hear there was some disruption next to the lodge during your stay. After you contacted us to let us know we got in touch with the park management and they informed us that a digger had dug a hole to allow for a new lodge. The work was carried out in a morning and had finished by lunchtime. As a working Park from time to time it is essential for work to be carried out, and as booking agents we are not always informed when work is being done. Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused. That aside we were delighted to hear it did not impact too much on your stay and you went on to have some adventurous days out walking up the mountains. The lodge is a great place to retreat to after a day out on the fells ? a warm and welcoming luxury lodge with splendid lake views. Sykes owner relations

“We stayed here during spring bank holiday and could not have asked for a better week.”

The lodge was ideally located both for the lake and the dog walking area. The park is excellent although it was difficult to use the swimming pool as you had to pre book a 45 min slot, therefore we only used the off site pool. The park is also very convenient for walking to Brockholes therefore saving approx What did you enjoy most about your stay?

Mrs Louise Iles Nov 2015

“As a family with three small children and parents both working full time we were very much looking forward to a relaxing break away.”

Unfortunately lodge 18 had other ideas! Their loud party on Friday night lasted until the early hours and so no one in our lodge number 8 got any sleep. On Sunday we decided to try the pool and were the first to sign in at 10am. By 10.30am the pool was packed so we decided to leave. The changing room floor was full of water making it impossible to find a spot to get dry. We then noticed our locker key had no number. Dripping wet with three cold, small children we tried a locker. The key opened it to reveal someone else's clothes. So dripping wet we went to reception and waiting for some time for someone to help us. Only to be confronted by the family who's locker we had accidently unlocked, they were not understanding! And so we left, with no happy memories from our stay at the park and will not be recommending the site to others. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The lovely accomodation What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Non

... That would just be perfect will def use again . The reception ran by the White cross where a little unorganised had no key fobs on arrival which proved to be hard work getting through barriers but got one on day 2, kids enjoyed the pool which can at times be busy due to size of park and amount of people using it . The marina was beautiful and peaceful nice little wander with swans and ducks was nice . A 5 min drive to Ambleside which supplied everything you could need . We went to the Ambleside climbing wall with the kids booked online which was excellent the staff are great with the kids . Overall very good holiday 10/10 A* What did you enjoy most about your stay?

“We had a lovely week at Mountain View.”

It is a nice modern and homely lodge in a great location. The only slight negatives are that it was quite as clean as it could have been, I.e. there was a dirty towel under one of the beds and a beer can on the veranda. We also felt it could have done with a coat and boot rack as you come in.Otherwise we would definitely recommend Mountain view to others and we would stay again.

“We had a fantastic stay at Mountain View and a superbly equipped lodge (stayed in several others on whitecross but none kitted out quite like this).”

It was expensive considering out of season but I know this is the case with Whitecross due to location, onsite facilities etc... A guest information book might be useful with bit of tourist info, takeaway menu, walks, doctors etc... Not a problem for us but might be useful to those who are new to that fantastic area. Thank you for a great stay! What did you enjoy most about your stay? Views/outdoor area What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Fairfield Horseshoe walk (and all the other mountains)!

“As a family group with small children the lodge provided everything we needed.”

Bathrooms are lovely and spacious. Well equipped and modern kitchen. All fixtures and fittings are good quality and modern. Outside area lovely and furniture comfortable with a S/SW outlook and a view of Windermere. Nice easy short walk to Brockhole next door for lots of family fun. Didn't use any of the facilities at Whitecross. Great to have WiFi access whilst at lodge. The Pony Meadow area well kept and less crammed in than some of the other areas of the park. One note...when trying to find the lodge please be aware that there are 2 barrier entrances at Whitecross. Make sure you go through the right one! We didn't initially and couldn't understand why we couldn't find the lodge!

“Mountain View lodge is an excellent base for a holiday in the Lake District.”

It is situated in a spot that has a wonderful view of Windermere, whatever the time of day or night. The campsite is also a good central location for visits to anywhere in the region.You just have to sit on the decking furniture and relax while looking over the lake at the mountains beyond. It was great to see the different weather, from bright sunshine to clouds rolling above. Never the same view twice in a row. The lodge is a lovely home from home and I can highly recommend it to anyone.

My family (2 adults + 2 Kids) plus in-laws and dog stayed week commencing 4th July 2014. The lodge is situated very close to Lake Windermere (you can see the lake from the patio area) and it takes no longer than 5 minutes to work down to the lake and small harbour. The amenities are excellent - very comfortable lounge area with leather sofas and wall mounted LED TV. Fully fitted kitchen and kitchen table all very conveniently arranged. Large main bedroom with en-suite shower, separate twin bedroom and third with bunk beds. All bedrooms beautifully presented and very comfortable beds ensure a great nights sleep. The lodge is situated in a very quiet area of the park, so full relaxation is guaranteed. Outside the lodge there is ample patio area with sun loungers and table and chairs.

We were very impressed on entering the lodge. The decor and facilities were really good, lacking only a cheese grater. There were no rules to follow, and we felt comfortable and at home. We had two large dogs with us. A German Shepherd and a Labrador. The outside decking was perfect for them and the dog walk was directly behind the lodge. The wooden floors made it easy to keep clean. The view was lovely and we had a lovely time. We could look out over the lake whilst eating dinner. We were a party of 4 adults, 2 children and 2 dogs. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

Miss Jacqueline Paul Apr 2014

“The lodges you cannot really fault.”

They are lovely, clean, tidy and in a perfect location ideal for groups of friends, families and couples. The main thing that spoilt the holiday a little was the service on arrival. I had not received a confirmation email with the key code and therefore could not get into the lodges.We were left waiting outside for at least15 minutes, with a less then apologetic owner and staff member on the phone pleading with them to resend it. So not a great start, however it certainly improved. Also there seemed to be a man walking around our lodges, which was quite creepy, and then another man who shouted at a guest for being in the hot tub 'too late' one evening. Impolite and not ideal. The area as a whole however is wonderful, picturesque and highly recommended. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The hot tub What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Crags Adventures - Gorge Walking

“Before we arrived we were informed that we were unable to stay at Woodside Lodge due to a gas leak.”

Mark was very helpful and managed to accommodate us in an alternative lodge whilst still being able to use the hot tub facilities. The lodge we stayed in was excellent. We also had a great view of the lake which we wouldn't have benefitted from being in our original lodge. We felt like we had the best of both worlds and therefore thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We are already discussing about returning next year! What did you enjoy most about your stay? Facilities of the lodge What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Boat from Ambleside to barowness

- Miss Rebecca Lawson, Apr 2014

We were pleased to hear you enjoyed your recent stay at Mountain View, Rebecca and thank you for your kind review including your comments about our service. It was our pleasure to ensure you had an enjoyable stay even though it wasn't possible to stay in the lodge you originally chose. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
