• "Second time at white cross bay and second cabin we stayed in , Cabin was well furnished and clean and everything worked fine."

  Couple of little bits could do with a touch up but nothing which affects the stay in the cabin . Would book here again no hesitation . As prevoius experience at WCB the internet is pretty poor and can be frustating at times , think this down to the site but anyway we’re on holiday not here for surfing the net. Overall very pleasant stay and would recommend

• "Absolutely fantastic time and the lodge was really nice and very well equipped."

  There was a few minor issues with the lodge that we noted if only to give suggestions for improvement. Within the main bedroom, the mattress has 'dents' in and was uncomfortable for my Wife, the En-suite had mould on the walls above skirting and the toilet and shower seemed to be leaking slightly (probably the cause of the mould). The outside of the Lodge could really do with a paint as its looks very 'worn'. Apart from them few, not really to big of a deal, problems, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would certainly stay again. I would rate this as a 5 star if the problems i mentioned above were corrected. Thankyou :)

• "Fantastic stay with a lodge fully equipped with everything we could ask for !"

  No issues at all and would stay again tomorrow Only thing we would say is that on the hot tub rules outside next to the hot tub it says hot tub can be used 8am - 10pm but on the welcome book indoors it says only use between 10am and 10pm

• "The lodge was clean, modern and spacious enough for our party of 5."

  Kitchen well equipt. I would say however that the outdoor furniture could benefit from an upgrade. The table and chairs can only comfortably seat 4 people and was frayed and rusty in places. The hot tub was clean and warm but can only accomodate 3 or 4 people.

• "A lovely lodge."

  Well appointed, clean and tidy. The hot tub was a lovely temperature and really well maintained. Just want to stress that the wifi is incredibly poor. This is no fault of the lodge and they're clear they have no responsibility for this but be aware if this is something you would require when booking. When the complimentary wifi popped up which was rarely the connection was non existent. Again no criticism to the owners just a heads up. The restaurant on site was incredibly busy. Fine if you're family wanting a contained space where kids could run around but not great if you're an older party. Food was average.

  Thank you for your feedback and we are pleased to hear you had a wonderful stay. The WIFI is a complimentary service provided by the holiday park (Parkdean Resorts) which is only suitable for page browsing and sending emails. Quality and reliability of connection will vary based on the number of people using it, prevailing weather conditions and therefore may be limited or slower than you are used to. We have brought the issue of the reliability of this service to the attention of the Park Management who are looking into this further., however, the reliability of service is outside of our control and do hope this doesn't deter you from booking in the future.

• "We chose this property predominantly for the hot tub and the location on a small holiday park right on Lake Windermere."

  The lodge was well cared for, and well stocked decorated and did not disappoint. We also really enjoyed the free membership of the local private healthclub, as the on-site pool was too busy to lane swim during half term. Didn't use the on-site restaurant so can't comment on that. The only hitch was with the heating which Sykes resolved within the hour by sending an engineer.

• "Overall a lovely lodge with a very spacious kitchen living area, plenty of space for 4+ people."

  The site is in a great location with onsite amenities. My only criticisms of the lodge would be; - there was a very strong smell of damp coming from the drawers in the main bedroom underneath the window which we didn’t use but plenty of other storage cupboards to use - the mattress in the main bedroom needs to be replaced, you can feel the springs. - Cleanliness on the floor between bed and side cabinets needs looking at (thick dust) - General up keep of the en-suite (mould in places) Other than the points above, the lodge would have been perfect.

  On the whole an excellent lodge. Some signs of being well used but it is to be expected. However, the mattress on the double bed is a joke. It is in urgent need of replacing to a decent mattress. If that had been okay it would have been 10 across the board.

  However, the mattresses in the double and one of the twin rooms were very uncomfortable, they are old and sink straight to the base of the bed when you sit on- they need replacing. The WiFi doesn't reach this lodge and depending on your mobile network there is limited phone signal, it would benefit from a seperate router. We ate in the restaurant on the first night and waited 40mins for drinks and over 1hour for food, understandably they were busy but it was a disappointing meal.

  There were only very minor things that need attention, the rail leading up to the lodge from the ramp needs to be secured as this appeared loose and the seal of the shower screen in the main bathroom needs replacing. I do agree with others about the lack of utensils in the kitchen eg mixing bowl, jug, whisk and would benefit from some more cereal bowls. The freezer needs defrosting. The beds were comfortable and the surroundings were lovely. My son most definitely enjoyed the hot tub!

• "This was our third time staying at White Cross Bay, as always the site was outstanding."

  Unfortunately the same could not be said for the lodge. The hard surfaces such as sinks and toilets and hot tub (admittedly the best part of the lodge) were clean, however the bedding was stained and the pillows and mattresses were so worn they were extremely uncomfortable. There was a lot of mould in the bathroom and the flooring was mushy in places, the living room carpet needed a good Hoover and there were cobwebs and dead spiders in the corner of the main bedroom. The kitchen was well equipped for self catering however some utensils such as tin opener were broken so could not be used. Overall the lodge is in much need of some general maintenance, and a very good clean! It seems a harsh review but in comparison to the other lodges, we were disappointed. This won’t put us off returning to the park or the Lake District but we wouldn't return to this particular lodge.

  Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear the cleanliness was not up to standard for your visit. This is most unusual for Ridgway Lodge and we can only send our apologies. It is a shame you did not make us aware of this on your arrival and we would have returned to put this right for you.

  A really spacious, well equipped lodge in a lovely area of the park with a short walk to the lake and the club house. The bedrooms were all spacious with lots of storage space and the lodge was really well set out. We travelled on the first bank holiday weekend in May and we were lucky with the weather and the sun was on the decking area for most of the day. We travelled while the restrictions were still in place for pubs and restaurants but that didn't spoil our holiday as there was space to eat and drink outside of the club house and we ventured out most days. If i had to find one negative with the lodge it would be that the hot tub is more suited to four people so for a lodge which sleeps six it's a little small but was not a big deal at all.

  The lodge is well presented, modern and clean. The living area has 2 large sofas and a small chair which is comfortable. The kitchen area is particularly large for a lodge, with a good sized fridge freezer for all your supplies. The bedrooms are very nicely decorated with plenty of storage space. The single bed mattresses felt a little saggy, however this didn't prevent a good nights sleep. Both bathrooms very nice, however the bath towels were on the small side. The hot tub was lovely and hot, and is a great asset. We didn't think it was as big as previous hot tubs we had been in, however it seated 3 comfortably. We didn't get to try out the outside seating area due to the weather, however it looked decent. lodge is located in a quiet area of the park, a short walk away from the Club House, where there is a variety of entertainment and a restaurant. The entertainment is ok if you're having a few drinks, however whilst dining on the Sunday night, at approximately 7pm the entertainment started blasting out of the speakers just behind us which made a normal conversation impossible.

  Well equipped. We holidayed as a family ( 4 adults, 2 teenagers and a toddler) and there was plenty of room for all of us.

  Miss Emma CoghlanJul 2018

• "We stayed in this modern lodge for 5 nights with three elderly relatives."

  The lodge was perfect. There was parking spaces for two cars, a ramp for easy access, a large living room and kitchen / dinning area, there was two nice bedrooms with two single beds in each and a modern clean bathroom. Our double bedroom also had a great en-suite with a walk-in shower. Everything was in great condition. We loved the decking area and thanks to some marvellous weather we spent many hours sitting outside enjoying the sun and relaxing in the hot tub. A maitenance person checked the hot tub each day and it was in very good condition. The living room had comfortable leather sofas and a good quality wide screen television. The only minor issue was we struggled to get much of a WiFi signal. Whitecross Bay is very attractive, with lots of trees. We also visited the restaurant and bar which were very convinient and served decent food. We would definitely come back. What did you enjoy most about your stay?

  Mr Sam BrewerMay 2018

• "Our 2nd visit to the park."

  The park itself is fine. However our lodge was poor. When we arrived the kitchen utensils in the upright pot were covered in grease. As if someone had sprayed them all in frylight and left them. The smell when we walked in was of staled breakfast. We had to ask a member of staff for air spray as well as bin bags which were also not left. There was a skrew loose on the dishwasher which meant we couldnt shut the door. We had to fix that too. The hot tub also had a scummy film on it which according to the hot tub engineers, is from the chemicals. Im not convinced. Finally on departure, when we were checking everything and making sure we hadnt left anything behind, we came across someone elses dirty trousers and knickers shoved at the back of a cupboard!!! We would have reported this earlier, but could put up with the smaller issues, if we had have come across the underwear issues earlier we would have done. What did you enjoy most about your stay?

• "Ridgway was absolutely everything we could have wanted for our relaxing weekend away with our family."

  Although the weather was very mixed the beautiful lodge gave us all we could have asked for and more to enjoy a special few days away with our 18 and 22 year old for a fab family catch up. The facilities and comfort were second to none. The cooking facilities were perfect for family meals followed by tv viewing , music and board games or a dip in the hot tub. Very relaxing and would love to return. What did you enjoy most about your stay?

• "We had a fantastic stay at Ridgeway Lodge."

  There was a problem with the toilet seat when arrived but it sorted out straight away. Lodge is spacious, comfortable, clean, furnishings were very good standard and there's everything that you need inside. Hot tub was great, loved every minute of it. Are only problem was the onsite pool. They operate a booking process but there were too many people booked in and not enough changing room space. The pool was freezing cold also, myself and youngest only spent 10 minutes in it when we'd booked for 45 minutes. All in all the lodge it's self was perfect and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

• "The outdoor lights around the hot tub and entrance to Ridgeway Lodge were very welcoming."

  We were all very impressed with the size of the accommodation and attention to detail. The Lodge was clean and tidy and of good standard. We made full use of the hot tub during our stay, listening to the owls under a clear, dark sky is such a pleasant way to relax in the evenings. There were few other guests on the Park when we stayed as it was nearing the end of their season, however, this allowed us to wander around with ease. We didn What did you enjoy most about your stay?

  Miss Natalie WanleyNov 2017

• "We stayed here with my parents to celebrate a Golden Wedding Anniversary."

  We wanted a nice lodge we could chill out in and relax as a family, in between trips into the local villages in the Lakes. The lodge is exactly as in the pictures, only better! It is very clean and has a good stock of cutlery and everything you need for a short break. We didn't get chance to use the seating area outside due to the weather but there were chairs and tables outside which looked comfy. The only hitch we encountered was having no electricity on our last day - which meant we could not cook breakfast or have showers. We called customer service at the lodge site but they said it was an electricity issue outside the park - we were not informed how long the issue would be for - no one seemed to know - this meant we left the lodge earlier than perhaps planned - however, it was an issue outside of the park. Otherwise a lovely stay and we would stay again in this lodge when we are back in the lakes. What did you enjoy most about your stay?

• "Stayed at ridgeway lodge for 7 nights with my family and my sisters family."

  Loved whitecross bay, loved the location of the lodge and enjoyed the use of the hot tub. The lodge is large with all the home comforts and was well equipped to cook every night for the family. There are a few things that are now looking a little tired - the bathrooms have damp and need redecorating, the sun lounger chairs were rusty and could have a better kettle and toaster. I would definitely stay here again and would definitely recommend Lake District lodges . What did you enjoy most about your stay?

  The lodge was better than we expected. Immaculate both inside and out. We could not believe how much space there was inside the lodge. The hot tub was perfect on an evening after a hectic day visiting local attractions. The lodge had everything inside that you would need. A lovely stroll down to the Lakeside most evenings. The nearby Zoo worth a visit with young children. The Club House was perfect for a drink on an evening. Although we didn't eat there the food did look lovely. Overall an enjoyable stay and will be visiting again. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The luxuriousness of the lodge.

• "Couldn't have been better."

  Clean, quiet and comfortable. Absolutely loved it. The location of the park is an excellent base to explore the Lake District. Good shops nearby in either Windermere or Ambleside. The hot tub was very relaxing too. A great place to unwind.

  Mr Brian SmithMar 2016

• "The lodge was clean and comfortable and provided excellent facilities."

  Although the weather was awful we still managed to have a pleasant and relaxing break.

  Mr Wesley CornwellMar 2016

• "Very modern, with good quality furniture all round."

  Kitchen had everything you could have needed apart from a few extra bin bags would have been nice and a proper dish cloth or two. Living area was very cosy with a nice warm fire and a fantastic size tv and really comfortable couches with more than enough room for 6. Bedrooms were quite spacious however it would have been nice to have the option to change twin rooms into doubles for couples. Bathroom and en-suite were near enough faultless apart from they both got overly steamy making everything very wet. Bigger extractor fans would be ideal. Hot tub was lovely and warm but with the lodge capacity of 6 we expected the hot tub to be able to seat 6. Overall we would rate the lodge a solid 9/10 and we really hope to escape there again within the next few months.
