• "I was dissatisfied by the lack of space for children to play outside and the limited access to the lake."

  The shop was poor and half stocked, so we did not use it. The wifi was supposed to be ‘Limefitt Park’ which did not exist, so had no internet all week which made booking impossible.

  Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear to hear that you found the park facilities to be lacking in space for the children, whilst we are a separate company to the park, we will pass your feedback on. The WIFI is complimentary and provided by White Cross Bay, we are not responsible for this. We hope to welcome you back to the Lake District again. Property Owner

• "Lodge was perfect, everything you need we all loved our stay."

  No complaints at all. Bit disappointed with the park itself, we have stayed at Whitecross Bay on numerous occasions and feel it has certainly deteriorated, service in bar/restaurant poor, staff just seemed not interested, maybe due to lack of staff. Shop didn't have a lot of stock. Lot of workmen/vans on site as a lot of lodges being refurnished Can't comment on the leisure facilities as didn't use . Seems such a shame as it a beautiful location and the lodge was perfect.

  Many thanks for taking the time to submit your valued feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay in Tanglewood. It is disappointing, however, to hear that you feel park standards have deteriorated somewhat. Unfortunately we have no control over this and can only hope that they begin to make improvements where necessary in the not too distant future. We look forward to welcoming you back, should you decide to visit the area again. Property Owner

• "Very spacious lodge, very clean throughout and a very well equipped kitchen, sofas were very comfortable, particularly after a good day walking, beds were also very comfortable and the rooms light and airy, we switched the electric fire one evening as chilly and heated the room very quickly,bathrooms were also a good size and very clean, towels were of good quality, if I had to make a negative comment (and it is a very minor one) I would say the bath towels could be bigger ,was within a minutes walk from the lake ,not on the main walk so still had a good deal of privacy."

  We didn’t use the facilities on site as we were out walking everyday, this was an excellent base and we chose this particular one as it was within an hour of everywhere we wanted to go. I would highly recommend this lodge to anyone.

  Many thanks for taking the time to submit your valued feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay in Tanglewood and that you found everything to be so clean and comfortable. We have taken note of your comments regarding towel size and thank you for making this suggestion. We would love to welcome you back, should you decide to visit again in the future. Property Owner

  You only ever find out how good a company is when you have a problem and I'm afraid I felt disappointed with yourselves

  Thank you for leaving your recent feedback about Tanglewood Lodge and we are very sorry to hear our Customer Service did not meet the high standards we aim for on this occasion. I regret we did have some issues with our out of hours phone line on Sunday 25th July. However, I am pleased we were able to get the issue with the boiler the following day and apologise you were not updated. The owners of the lodge were very disappointed to read your review, as they take great pride in providing the highest standard of accommodation for their guests and do hope this does not deter you from returning.

  We loved it. Just minutes from the lake edge we enjoyed a few stunning sunsets. We all commented that although we were lucky with the weather it would be a perfect place even in the rain It felt very private and not overlooked. We were able to run/jog safely in the mornings and were ideally located for many attractions in the Lakes. The park is well maintained and we felt super safe Covid wise.

  There were 7 of us and we did not feel cramped in. The place was large enough and comfortable and had everything we needed. Only a minute walk to the lake yet set back from the road so no cars passing. We had a fantastic time and have already booked for next year!

• "We had a lovely stay in Tanglewood at the beginning of August."

  As a regular visitor to the Lake District, and someone who has stayed many times at White Cross Bay, I was very pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and condition of the lodge. I also appreciated the eco-friendly washing up products that were supplied. We very much appreciated the washing machine and drier - the children were out exploring every day and inevitably came back wet and muddy. The whole trip was an experience of them being able to experience a proper childhood again - climbing, paddling, fishing, exploring. Tanglewood was a great base for this to happen. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Being back in my favourite place in the world. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? For the children, it had to be the day out in Ambleside - lunch at the Apple Pie followed by a walk up to Stockghyll Force and then playing in the river at the bottom. Also, they loved the Maize Maze.

• "Spent a week at Tanglewood Lodge in July and had a fantastic time."

  The lodge is situated in a lovely part of the park just seconds away from the lake edge and picnic area. The lodge had everything that is required and and there is plenty of glasses, plates, cutlery etc. so no need for loads of dishwashing! It was spotlessly clean and beds really comfortable and plenty of hanging space. The main shower was broken when we arrived so we had to all use the ensuite shower, but the repair was organised and completed swiftly through the customer services team. The washing machine and tumble dryer was a great addition especially after using the swimming pool! The outside decking area was superb and had frosted glass to give that extra privacy from the neighbouring lodge and car parking was in front of the lodge. It is only 5 minutes walk from the bar/restaurant and swimming pool. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable week in the Lakes in a beautiful lodge. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The lodge location in the park What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The Beatrix Potter Experience in Bowness

  Mr Alistair BrownAug 2018

• "Ideal size for 2 couples with children."

  Unlike most lodges that sleep up to 8 it actually had enough plates, cutlery, glasses, towels etc. to suit that many people. Pool a little pricey but very good and worth it if you will use it more than once. I was worried that you had to book the pool in advance but always got the time slot we wanted. Onsite restaurant had a good range of vegetarian choices. Only issue I had was that weather was so good I couldn't get away from the smell of other peoples barbecues. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Location , pool and restaurant. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Within 20 mins walk of country park with adventure playground and boat trips to Ambleside and beyond.

• "We had the most wonderful time."

  With three children to entertain from 3-11 years. Brockhole next door and Lake Windermere. The sunshine shone on us for the week. Would recommend as a lovely clean lodge. Hope to stay again.

Brockhole next door ideal for children
