Well Equiped Lodge on a Very Well Managed Site
We have enjoyed a very comfortable short stay at this very well equiped and well presented lodge. As others have said it is on a very large site but the lodge is in a quiet location. We particularly enjoyed the woodland walk to the small marina and the lake frontage which was beautiful. We had good communication with the hosts who responded to any questions we had very quickly.

Heart of Lake District
The property had everything we needed, including a deck and BBQ. The resort had a shop, pool, bar and restaurant but we tended to walk and tour all day and eat at the house which had a fully equipped kitchen.

Family break
Overall we really enjoyed our stay, lodge had everything that we needed and more, the only downside was the cleaners need to be a little bit more thorough,as we found someone else medication in the bedside draws and wouldn’t take long to get rid of cobwebs on bedroom ceiling,but this wouldn’t put us off rebooking

Great 5 star lodge
Lodge was great everything you needed even, Netflix, sky and great dishwasher. Rooms sizes great and balcony was massive with large table and chairs and bbq. Only minor point is that the outside of the lodge could have been cleaner. But will definitely be back Rodger and Hazel quick to reply to any questions. Lodge location brilliant and on site facilities great also. Can’t wait to book again. Thanks for letting us stay in your lodge.

Home away from home
We had such a lovely short break! The lodge is really well situated; close enough to the main site hub and play areas (for those with children) but tucked up out of the way to allow for a nice quiet and peaceful location. We were able to check in a little early as we received communication from the host that the lodge was clean and ready from around 1-2pm; this was greatly appreciated! We found the lodge to be really comfortable with everything you can possibly need and more. Access to a BBQ, large deck with lots of seating choices, lots of cooking equipment. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return soon!

Windermere Weekend
Just returned home from three nights at this lovely lodge. Located in a quiet part of a large site, it is well maintained and immaculately clean. We were blessed with excellent weather and as an added bonus got a display of the Northern Lights. Everything you need is at this lodge, just add food and some wine and you will have a great time. Would not hesitate to book again.

About the host

Hosted by Roger & Hazel

Host profile image
We live in Poulton-le-Fylde, a small market town on the outskirts of Blackpool. We love to go walking in the Lake District and our lodge is both a home-from-home and an "away from it all" retreat where we can relax and unwind and enjoy the tranquility and beautiful scenery that surrounds us. When we are not using it ourselves we let it out and we hope that guests treat it with respect and enjoy staying there as much as we always do.

Why they chose this property

Very comfortable, well equipped lodge, suitable for families, couples and friends.

What makes this property unique

White Cross Bay is a popular Holiday Park which is very popular with families, couples, young and old and is an excellent location for exploring the Lake District. For further information on White Cross Bay, visit their website, parkdeanresorts.co.uk/location/lake-district/white-cross-bay/
Recently refurbished the lodge is in a very pleasant, quiet area of the White Cross Bay park but within a few minutes walking distance of the main reception/bar/restaurant/swimming pool complex and children's outdoor play areas.
