"Didnt know it was not a Hoseasons site. Advertised slightly incorrect - Parkdean site."

"The lodge was brilliant, clean and very well equiped and had great views of Lake Windermere from the surrounding decking. The lodge has sufficient parking for multiple cars if needed. And room to store water sports equipment should you bring it for use on the lake. The only thing we had a small issue with was the flooring in the kitchen has become loose and sections of it were able to slide out of place, which is a slip hazard. We would highly recommend the Harrop Lodge."

"Our White Cross Bay review: Sewage or gas smell all the time in the caravan. Suitable for two people, but caravans are very close together."

"The lodge was a vast improvement on the caravan that we were originally given.clean throughout well decorated and very cosy having this vastly improved the holiday but it needed to be on a better site."

"Our lodge the Harrop Lodge, was lovely overall. The bed could have been better, it wasn't awful but it wasn't a luxury mattress with a topper either.My biggest issue was that, although the lodge had great views of Lake Windermere and had a huge terrace. There was no outdoor furniture. I did ask in person twice and by chat once but it seems they didn't have any!! Poor show, and when I complained it went on deaf ears, with no email address available to push it further."

"We had a great few days away at White Cross Bay. Conveniently situated. The bus stop just outside the park is great too. The Windermere Lodge had everything we needed. I think it could do with a deep clean as the chairs in the lounge were looking a bit worse for wear. Also the lodge is quite close yo the main road and right next to the play area which was ok at thus time of year but could be a problem in school holidays. Overall though a great park conveniently located to lots lovely lake district walks."

"Good sized caravan. Bed needs new mattress and think all the mattresses should have mattress protectors on them but overall very happy."

"Caravan was a nice space for what we paid for, was happy with what we had- TV signal very poor but when in the lakes we know its not guaranteed. No wifi in caravan or phone signal but same again know its not guaranteed. Some cobwebs etc around caravan and a large stain on mattress, apart from those everything else was clean."

"Lovely restaurant excellent staff lovely food value for money"
Gillian - Jul 2020
"Beautiful lodge. Great location on site. High standard of decor. The third bedroom however is small and the bed is a small three quarter size double. Ok for our two grandchildren but too small for two adults. No spare pillows in any rooms. That was the only fault as everything else was perfect."
Lorraine - Jul 2020
"Just one area of concern with regard to COVID. Waiters were not wearing face masks when taking food to table. And were talking to each other and visitors with food directly below mouth. This should not be happening."
Mike - Jul 2020
"Overall comfortable, clean and pleasant. Insufficient shelving in en-suite bathroom and place to put clothes in bedroom. Fridge shelves missing and needed cushions on settees. All minor details."

"Great shortbreak with nice accomodation and Local bustop."

"We were slightly mis-lead when booking this lodge as we were under the impression wed have a hot tub, the advert specified certain accommodations Would have one but there was nothing to say that brathay - Pron. (bray-thay) Lodge wouldnt come equipped with one.
On arrival we spoke to staff at white cross bay as we assumed theyd given us the wrong lodge and they explained that it had been a very frequent occurrence over the last 2-3 weeks that people thought brathay lodge had a hot tub.. to clarify brathay lodge at white cross bay is lodge only!! Confusion has occurred because a private owner has also named his lodge, brathay lodge and when searched on google, the majority are pictures of HIS lodge.
After the initial disappointment we settled into our lodge, it was cosy although a little bit of a draft came through the main doors. Full central heating was available and a full working kitchen inc. cooker, grill, fan oven, fridge freezer and dishwasher (please note you will need to take your own cleaning equipment like washing up liquid and dish washer tablets)
Dining table, pots and pans, cutlery, plates and cups/glasses were also available for us.
Overall a great experience after minor issues were resolved, staff were really friendly and we absolutely would return!"
