Martin September 2024

“The location is good for surrounding areas .”

Unfortunately I have to agreed with other reviews there was an off smell. The on suite bathroom had used razors in the shower cady(might still be there I wasn’t lifting them) and the bottom of the shower unit was coming away . There was damp behind the curtain in the main bedroom. The bed in the twin room was uncomfortable to be honest I think it needs replaced . Perhaps kids had been jumping on it. There were artificial nails behind the single bed. There was no lighting in the main bathroom either. The crockery needed washed prior to using. Whoever cleans the lodge surely must notice the issues. Couldn’t get through to the numbers provided on the email prior to arrival to get the code for the barrier. We tried live chat but they advised the booking ref was incorrect . We all headed home early on the Sunday.

- Martin, September 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry you experienced some issues during your stay. We normally score very highly regarding cleanliness and had a call from the cleaner after your visit to inform us of a problem & she mentioned the shower tray & light switch which had been fine on her last visit. If maintenance had been contacted during your stay, these would have been rectified. As regards the crockery, we expect previous guests to wash up before they leave & can only apologise that this didn't happen on this occasion. The bed base had been damaged & has now been renewed. Unfortunately the 'smell' is a normal woody lodge smell which we can't change Property Owner

Maria June 2024

“The lodge is really lovely and I think they had thought of everything as we managed to find all the utensils we needed.”

Set in a very peaceful spot, just a shame we didn’t get the weather to enjoy the large deck. It’s very spacious and has a door between the living space and the bedrooms which is ideal if you have kids. Having two toilets and two showers is also a plus. Would definitely recommend! You can walk into Bowness-On-Windermere from the site too.

- Maria, June 2024

Thank you very much for your lovely review and your 100% score! We are so pleased you had a lovely time and found everything you needed. We do try our best to ensure the lodge is home from home and spend as much time there ourselves to make sure all is well for our guests. It was unfortunate you didn't get the weather to enjoy the outside space which is, as you say, very peaceful. Thanks again Property Owner
Anita June 2024

“A foisty smell as soon as you in the door, even to the point of all our clothes ...”

A foisty smell as soon as you in the door, even to the point of all our clothes smelling when we got home , very tired and shabby especially around the skirting boards , sofa very uncomfortable,the main thing that spoiled it was the smell it ruined it for me we came home a day early, just not a pleasure to be there at all

- Anita, June 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We're extremely shocked by your comments as we have never had any issues with previous guests & always score highly especially around the cleanliness. We had been in the lodge ourselves for the weekend before your stay and didn't notice any smells at all on our departure. We have contacted the agent and they had no complaints or concerns from you during your stay otherwise they would have acted upon them. We have asked them to visit the lodge & inspect it. We are sorry you didn't enjoy your stay Property Owner
William May 2024

“We had a lovely stay at this Lodge.”

Located only a short walk to the amenities in the park without being close enough to hear the noise. Lodge is at a cul-de-sac so no traffic going past. It was reasonably clean but some corners of the Lodge need a deep clean in our opinion (bathrooms). Perfect location to explore the lake district. Mattresses where surprisingly comfortable. Enclosed patio was perfect to sit outside without having to worry about the dog wandering off.

- William, May 2024

Thank you so much for taking the time to review our lodge. We are pleased you had a lovely stay and were able to enjoy the outside space. Location is, as you say, perfect for visiting all areas of the Lake District & the bus stop outside of the park is very convenient too. We hope you visit the Lake District again soon. Property Owner
Darren April 2024

“Lovely lodge stayed four nights,cosy has everything you need.”

It is well located on the site nice quite cul -de-sac.

- Darren, April 2024

Thank you so much for your kind review & 100% score. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay and liked the location of the lodge which is very quiet with no passing traffic. We would love to welcome you back to the beautiful Lake District in the future Property Owner
Margaret March 2024

“The property was absolutely beautiful loved everything about it.”

The beds were so comfy .Everything we could have needed. The only problem was the tv went down on second night reported the issue but nobody came .all in all we would definitely go back there .

- Margaret, March 2024

Thank you so much for your very kind review. We are so sorry you had a problem with the tv & had no response. This is very unusual as maintenance are usually very prompt. We have arrived after your visit & the tv did indeed need resetting & channels re-installing which has never happened before. We can only apologise for the inconvenience & hope it didn't spoil your visit to the beautiful Lake District Property Owner
Mary July 2023

“Comfortable stay thank you.”

- Mary, July 2023

Thank you for taking the time to review our lodge. We are pleased you had a comfortable stay. The Lake District is a beautiful area of the country & we hope to welcome you back in the future Property Owner
Mary July 2023

“The lodge is in a really quiet part of the park.”

It was ideal for us. The decking gets the sun for most of the day. The lodge is clean and tidy. The beds and bathroom were very clean. Couple of small issues were beading on shower screen in bathroom loose making it awkward to pull over in case more came away. Couple of plates with cracks and chips on them we didn't use them. Felt crockery needed an update. No major issues and the aforementioned did not affect our holiday. All in all an enjoyable time at this lodge. Would visit again.

- Mary, July 2023

Thankyou for taking the time to reveiw our lodge. We are pleased you had an enjoyable time & were able to enjoy the sunshine. The decking area does get the sun from 11am until sunset & is very relaxing & peaceful. We will renew the beading on the shower screen next time we are there & also check & renew the crockery. Thankyou for bringing these issues to our attention. We would love to welcome you back in the future Property Owner
Barbara June 2023

“Nice Lodge.”

Took us ages to find though as I don’t think the blue bin is still there that you refer to. However, we managed eventually. Very clean. Had everything you need

- Barbara, June 2023

Thank you for taking the time to review our lodge & thank you so much for your 100% score. As the park is constantly making improvements, the bins have now been 'fenced in' so are out of sight. We will arrange to have the directions to the lodge altered to reflect this. Thank you for bringing this to our attention & we hope to welcome you back to the beautiful Lake District in the future Property Owner
Eve May 2023

“Absolutely fabulous stay at the woodland nook lodge.”

The facilities were amazing, the lodge was immaculate and lovely and private. The site itself was brilliant with lots to do throughout the day and into the night. I would highly recommend this place. I was very sad to leave and will definitely be returning.

- Eve, May 2023

Thank you very much for your lovely feedback. We are so pleased you had a fabulous stay. As you say, the lodge is quite private as it is set back from the others with no passing traffic so the decking area is very peaceful. We would love to welcome you back in the future (returning guests receive a discount too). Property Owner
Peter May 2023

“We really enjoyed our stay at your lodge,could not wish for anything more,from utensils to comfort all great.”

Ceri May 2023

“Great, well equipped lodge in a quiet cul de sac on a lovely site.”

The lodge was clean and home from home. Always plenty hot water for showers. The decking is large and was lovely to sit out in the sun. Lovely woodland walk on the site which was great for the dog. Would be happy to return and highly recommend.

- Ceri, May 2023

Thank you so much for your kind review. We're very pleased you were able to sit out in the sun which is very peaceful & relaxing. We would love to welcome you back in the future (returning guests receive a discount too) Property Owner

“Pleasant stay.”

Lodge is a little tired and could do with some TLC.

- Sarah, April 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased you had a pleasant stay Property Owner
Allison August 2022

“The lodge itself is dated but cosy and ideal for exploring the lakes.”

It's well located for facilities on site. Parking is good. Check in was seamless. However, inside the lodge I feel like it was only surface clean, when trying to get the WiFi to work I found thick balls of fur beneath a unit that really was easy to reach with the hoover. I hoovered it myself and have to say the hoover works well. The sofa cushions were covered in fur from previous guest. Beneath the beds and in corners was dusty with bits and in need of a good clean, cupboard and drawers needed dusting before we could put our clothes in. The bedding however was clean and couldn't be faulted. In the kitchen, the pans, utensils etc all needed washing and the cutlery holder on the drying rack was full of mould. Overall the lodge is lovely, but is in need of a deep clean. There was an owner in a nearby lodge that appeared to be complaining of the cleaning service provided, and it's possible the owner of Little Nook relies on the same cleaning company. The WiFi is non existent and there is no signal so you have no access to anything whilst there, that's not a complaint really just an observation. I noticed the ethernet cable going into the router was all frayed so possibly replacing the cable would repair the WiFi otherwise it seems a waste the owners paying for it if the technology to make it work aren't there.

- Allison, August 2022

Thankyou for taking the time to review our lodge. We are very surprised with the comments regarding cleaning . This is very unusual as we normally score 100% however I will inform the cleaning company. We expect previous guests to clean utensils, pans etc. after use , so can only apologise that this didnt happen on this occasion. The complimentary Wifi is unfortunately outside of our control as it works off the park wifi which is currently being upgraded. We are pleased that overall you had a nice holiday & hope to welcome you back to the beautiful Lake District in the future Property Owner
Thomas July 2022

“Lovely place to stay.”

Accommodation lovely and clean. Great outside area (especially as we were lucky with the weather).

- Thomas, July 2022

Thank you so much for taking the time to review our lodge. We are pleased you were able to enjoy the newly extended outside space and due to its south facing position & quiet location, it is very pleasant & peaceful. We hope to welcome you back in the future Property Owner
Stephen June 2022

“Beautifully situated for all Windermere amenities, comfortable and very clean, rather got the impression from the listing that it had lake views which it doesn’t.”

Excellent for a digital detox, though poor Wi-Fi internet is mentioned in listing 4G is also very intermittent so beware if bringing teens. All in all we had an excellent stay in an excellent lodge in an excellent park

- Stephen, June 2022

Thank you so much for taking the time to review our lodge. We are pleased you had an excellent stay. Unfortunately we have no control over the Wi-Fi as this is provided by Parkdean Resorts. They are, however, in the process of upgrading their systems which should be completed very soon. We hope to welcome you back to Woodland Nook & the beautiful Lake District in the future Property Owner
Susan April 2022

“First experience staying in lodge we loved it .”

absolutely so relaxing . tried with dog prior to booking we have for July and are really looking forward to returning . some of the kitchen cutlery needs updating bread knife etc but it's was a brilliant experience.

- Susan, April 2022

Thank you so much for your review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. We will replace the bread knife etc on our next visit. Thank you for bringing this to our attention & we hope to welcome you back soon Property Owner

Heather August 2021

“The lodge was comfortable and clean however the shower in the ensuite was leaking and constantly dripping and one big let down was the WiFi connection as although it stated on devices it was connected it didn’t work no internet would load and this was on multiple devices which was a big let down as with 2 young children who couldn’t use their iPad all stay was disappointing .”

- Heather, August 2021

The owners of Woodland Nook would like to thank you for taking the time to review their lodge. We can confirm our maintenance team will be looking into the shower, thank you for bringing this to our attention. The WiFi is provided by the park and is outside of our control, the owners have emailed park management about this directly. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused. We do hope you will return and visit us again. Property Owner
Joanne August 2021

“We enjoyed a lovely two week stay at Woodland Nook with our two teenage boys and two dogs.”

The lodge is in a lovely quiet location on the park and close to the main facilities. The site is very dog friendly and the location on the lake shore is stunning. The lodge itself is nicely decorated and has good facilities, as well as a gated veranda, which was great for the dogs. The lodge and furnishings were clean and comfortable. The kitchen is a little bit cramped, but was adequate for our needs. The front door has a handle missing on the outside, this meant that it was easy to lock yourself out and needs addressing. The water pressure drops so much on Mondays and Fridays that it is insufficient for a shower. The in lodge wi-fi is not connected to the internet. The site wifi is available sporadically, and not in the lodge or the bar/restaurant, which was a bit difficult, given that you have to use an app to order food and drinks. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would come back to the holiday park and that particular lodge.

- Joanne, August 2021
Edward August 2021

“Double bed not very comfortable tv needs up grading as picture keeps breaking up for the limited channels there is .”

Internet is absolutely terrible .

- Edward, August 2021

Thank you for your feedback and your comments. Whilst we feel comfort is a personal preference, we will definitely keep an eye on any further comments regarding the mattress. Our maintenance team will check the television, thank you for bringing it to our attention. It is a shame to hear the dedicated WiFi was not working properly for your stay, this is boosted from the complimentary WiFi which the park provide and is outside of our control. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused. We do hope you will return and maybe try another lodge in our portfolio. Property Owner

Louise July 2021

“Lodge was beautiful.”

Very comfortable, but couldn't get an internet connection at the lodge all the time we were there, even though the lodge had its own WiFi.

- Louise, July 2021
Emma July 2021

“Lodge is in an excellent location, very quiet and no passing traffic.”

A short walk to the main facilities. Unable to connect to the lodge Wi Fi at all during our stay. We would certainly book again at Woodland Nook Lodge.

- Emma, July 2021

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. Property Owner
Caroline June 2021

“Unfortunately meals were not available at the Clubhouse for most of our stay”

- Caroline, June 2021

Thank you for your feedback and your full marks on the cleanliness of the lodge. We are sorry to hear you were unable to make the most of the Clubhouse. The onsite facilities are run and owned by Parkdean Resorts and we apologise for any inconvenience caused. We will pass on your comments to Park Management for their information. Having said that, we do hope this didn't impact on your stay too much and you will return to enjoy another stay at Woodland Nook Lodge through Lake District Lodge Holidays soon. Property Owner
Joe May 2021

“This lodge would benefit from a hot tub like many of the other lodges and has plenty of plot space for one, else a lovely stay.”

Very comfy bed. The table on the decking is a bit of a squeeze so if the decking is ever redone (i.e should a hot tub be installed, a bigger deck would be good for the table also.

- Joe, May 2021

“This was our 5th time at the Lodge and each time has been a joyful experience.”

This time we stayed for 4 nights over Christmas. On arrival the Lodge had been fully decorated for Christmas and had a wonderful festive feeling. Also in the lodge was a bag of presents for us, including a special one for our dog Willow. We would like to send a massive Thankyou to Gina & Phil for this thoughtful gesture, it was greatly appreciated. Although the weather wasn't brilliant we still managed to make the most of our time there and would hope to be back again when the opportunity arises.

- Mr Trevor Simpson, Jan 2020
Mr Brian Ismay Oct 2019

“An excellent lodge located in a good area of the resort, located at the end of the 'road', yet pathway providing a short way to the main resort amenities.”

The lodge was well laid out and comfortable, the wifi being available was an extra bonus. This was our second stay at this lodge and it won't be the last. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Relaxing at the lodge, sunbathing on the walkway around it and the variety of dog walking paths. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Visit to Bowness, lovely walks for the dog, an excellent sandwich shop and plenty of action to observe at the piers with the lake cruisers.

“Great lodge in a lovely area of the park in a cul de sac.”

The park has a lovely marina which we sat by the side of many times with our dog. Great location for visiting local towns.

“This lodge was clean and tidy and provided a fantastic base to explore our favourite parts of the Lake District.”

Sadly a couple of extras were missed like a washing machine and dishwasher which are available in other lodges. White Cross Bay offered a lovely bar but the swimming pool took your breath away it was so cold - at this time of the year it would be better if it was heated more especially with little ones. We will definitely be back again. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Home from home comforts What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Walk around Bowness on Windermere

Perfect for families or couples looking for comfortable accommodation in a stunning location. Your suggestion for a dishwasher and washing machine have been passed on to the lodge owners for their reference, thank you for these. Furthermore, we have passed on your comments about the onsite swimming pool to the park management for their information. Although the onsite facilities are something outside of our control, we do apologise for any inconvenience caused. Perhaps worth noting, all our guests have complimentary use of Choices Health Club - conveniently located and excellent facilities for the whole family to enjoy. Definitely worth a visit. We are delighted to hear you will be returning and we look forward to welcoming you in the near future. Property Owner

Mrs Gwenda Donald Nov 2018

“This was our first experience taking our nervous young cockapoo away for a short break.”

We could not have been more pleased with the location of Woodland Nook Lodge on the site. It was at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and the veranda was totally fenced off. The whole experience was relaxed and the booking process was very smooth. The lodge itself was very clean and tastefully decorated. After long hill walks the added bonus of having a bath was bliss. The instructions regarding heating etc were easy to follow. Lake District Lodge Holidays kept us well informed by email and there were contact numbers if we had a problem (which we did not). What did you enjoy most about your stay? The comfortable and clean accommodation which was lovely and warm with every item provided for a self catering break. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The walk via Troutbeck over Wansfell Pike and down into Ambleside is a lovely walk

- Mrs Gwenda Donald, Nov 2018

Mr Brian Ismay Oct 2018

“The lodge was light and airy, well laid out and cleaned to a high standard.”

We particularly liked the on-suite facility and found the walk-in shower excellent. The lodge was sited in a dead end a the park which was great for walking the dog with no passing traffic and he could wander in and out the door around the lodge at his leisure. My wife was particularly pleased with the cooking facilities with both gas rings and an electric oven. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The location of the lodge within the park. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? A trip down the lakeside at Bowness-on-Windermere.

This two bedroom holiday lodge is in an excellent location for a relaxing and peaceful break in the Lakes, and indeed great for dogs. We will be delighted to welcome you again in the near future.

Mrs Mandy Grundy Oct 2018

“Recently enjoyed a 3 night break with family in this lodge.”

. It was very clean , comfortable and in a nice quiet spot. Nice secure decking with gate on so our little dog could wander onto it. Although dog friendly there is no evidence of other dogs staying in the lodge as it is spotless. Would recommend and would stay there again. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Was nice to return to.. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Nice fish & chip takeaway at Driftwoods Bowness

Mr Peter Gulbrandsen Jul 2018

“We found this a perfect base in the heart of the Lake District from which to explore the area.”

The lodge was comfortable and clean, set in a good position to enjoy the evening sun. We holiday at White Cross Bay every year and we'd be happy to stay in Woodland Nook Lodge again. What did you enjoy most about your stay? It's location in the Lake District. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? It's only a short walk from Brockhole Visitor Centre where we enjoyed the high nets, adventure play park, and took the ferry across to Wray Castle.

- Mr Peter Gulbrandsen, Jul 2018
Mr Trevor Simpson Jun 2018

“This was our third stay at the lodge and we are already looking for dates for the next stay.”

The Lodge was very clean and tidy and perfectly fitted out to facilitate our break. It is ideally located between Ambleside and Windermere and provides an ideal base to venture out on an array of walks. Luckily for us the weather during our stay was brilliant so we could make the most of sitting out on the Decking. On site we visited the Restaurant in the clubhouse. We found the meals reasonably priced and very tasty. We would definitely recommend this Lodge and the site in general (White Cross Bay) to our friends and family. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Quiet relaxation. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Walking the Fells.

“Stayed for a bank holiday weekend and was not disappointed.”

Lovely little family lodge with brilliant location to the park and the main entertainment venue. Stayed as a family, 1 child and small dog. The fact there is a gate on the decking was brilliant to let the little one and dog walk around yet being secure! The rooms are lovely decorated and the beds are extremely comfortable. The En-suite bathroom was a lovely addition too. Kitchen and dining area again well equipped with all you could need. Will definitely be returning! Thank you for our lovely stay here.

Mrs Tina Knuckey Feb 2018

“Lodge was well equipped and very clean and comfortable.”

We had a lovely break away. Outdoor lighting could be improved and the lodge was by the gas compound. I feel a higher fence or trees could have shielded the view of it a little better. A tanker was very noisy delivering gas to the compound from 10.50 pm to 1.15 in the morning which kept us awake one night. I assume this was a one off and was obviously not the fault of the lodge owners, however I did complain to the Park Reception as they should not have allowed that to happen so late at night. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Relaxing time with the family and the complimentary use of the nearby health club. Lots of beautiful places to walk and look around. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Visit Windermere, Bowness and Ambleside.

- Mrs Tina Knuckey, Feb 2018

Thank you for your review and whilst we note and pleased that you had a lovely break in the Lakes we apologise for the disturbance caused by a tanker delivering gas late at night. This certainly should not have happened. We have taken it up with the Park management and they have assured us it was a one off and will clearly not be allowed to happen in the future. Thank you for bringing it to our attention and please accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused. We have passed on your further comments and suggestions to the owners of Woodland Nook and similarly the park management for their reference and consideration. We were pleased to hear you went on to have a relaxing stay at Woodland Nook and enjoyed many of the wonderful walks nearby. The lodge is in a super location for exploring the Lakes and beautifully presented and well equipped for those looking to unwind in comfort. We will be delighted to welcome you again in the near future. Property Owner
Mrs Jacqui Smith Jan 2018

“We stayed for Christmas.”

We walked in to find it beautifully decorated for Christmas with a gorgeous tree & festive table mats. Its a well appointed lodge and beautifully warm which was great as it was wet & icy outside. Fantastic customer service from everyone involved. It is a little difficult to find at first but then you realise its in a lovely quiet culdesac which was ideal for us, as we had a dog with us. We didn't want to leave but have returned home and made another booking straight away so that says it all. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The quietness. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? we didnt go far as it was christmas

- Mrs Jacqui Smith, Jan 2018

Thank you for your review, Jacqui and super ratings. It is very pleasing to hear you enjoyed your stay and Christmas at Woodland Nook. A great location just tucked away in a quiet area of the park and the lodge itself is beautifully presented and well equipped for a relaxing break in the Lakes. We are thrilled to hear you have booked again and look forward to welcome you very soon. Property Owner

“This was our second stay at the Woodland Nook Lodge and we have already booked for next May.”

The site is in an excellent location midway between Ambleside and Windermere. The Lodge is clean, functional with all the facilities for a break which fells like home. The facilities on site are great, the Bar and Restaurant offer a good service. We ate twice at the Restaurant and the food was very tasty and reasonably priced. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Quiet relaxing atmosphere in a peaceful setting. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? A good starting place for numerous walks. One walk we enjoy starts in Ambleside, up through Rydal Hall and down into Grasmere then back down the far side of the lakes to Ambleside, around 8 miles but a flat gentle walk.

- Mr Trevor Simpson, Oct 2017
Mrs Racheal Hawes Oct 2017

“Woodland Nook was a lovely place to stay in.”

The lodge was clean and fresh. It was extremely comfortable and warm. We were out everyday exploring around Lake Windermer and found the lodge a great place to unwind. The owners had left several leaflets of places to see or visit. The owners should be proud of their lodge, I know we ate greatful to them for letting us stay in their "home". What did you enjoy most about your stay? The comfort and welcome feeling whenever we returned What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? A trip down to the lake at Ambleside followed by the day in Ambleside itself. Wonderful town.

Mrs Lynda Williams Sep 2017

“Our stay at Woodland Nook was very good.”

It was a great location and very peaceful. It was a lovely cabin very clean and warm. White cross bay was really close to a lot of towns so even though the weather was not great there was still plenty to do and see every day. I know you are meant to switch off when on holiday but we still like the internet. It was quite poor at White cross bay but that was the only thing that was not good. Apart from that we enjoyed our stay very much and would consider returning there in the future. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Walking round the Lakes What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Visiting Lakeland Motor Museum.

The lodge is well situated and immaculately clean and presented as well as very well equipped, we really didn't need to take anything other than food. Taxi is only a few minutes from bowness aswell but it was a perfect stay in this lovely lodge.

Mrs Julia Ellis Sep 2017

“As a group of friends attending a wedding, it was just about perfect.”

The setting is lovely and the staff fantastic - their response to to a power cut (beyond their control) was exemplary. We were also very impressed by the quality of the lodge itself. The only issue was finding our way to and from our lodge. The map we were given wasn't very clear and neither was the signage around the site - and these issues were made even worse at night. PS. More cutlery in the kitchen would have been appreciated. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The quality of the lodge. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The whole area is just stunning. Make time to explore as much as you can!

- Mrs Laura Trzpil, Jul 2017

Thank you for your review and we were glad you enjoyed your stay. Comfort of mattresses (and also sofas) can be very personal and we were sorry to hear you found them too firm. Since your stay the owners have changed all 3 mattresses in the lodge (including the double which was less than a year old) with new medium/ firm sprung mattresses. Woodland Nook offers great value, comfortable accommodation and is a lovely base for a stay in the Lakes. Property Owner

Mr Trevor Simpson May 2017

“The experience throughout was excellent.”

The Lodge is ideally located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. Inside it was decorated and furnished to a good standard with everything you needed for the stay. The patio doors opened onto an enclosed decking area which was ideal for the dog. On site facilities included a swimming pool (which we didn't make use of) and a Restaurant & Bar which was ideal. We ate there on one evening and the food was well cooked and reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend this lodge, in fact we enjoyed it so much we have already booked to return later in the year. What did you enjoy most about your stay?

Thank you for your comments, George. We were very sorry to hear that the you were not satisfied with the level of customer service received during your stay. As booking agent, Park facilities (bar, restaurant, reception and leisure complex) and the service provided onsite is something outside of our control although we will pass on your comments to the Park Management for their reference ? and we trust it will be addressed promptly.

Mrs Catherine Robinson Jan 2017

“Had a very enjoyable stay over New Year in this lodge.”

It was warm, comfortable and provided everything you needed. The real plus about this lodge is its position. It is at the end of a cul-de-sac so is nice and quiet. It's also just a 5 minute walk from the reception, shop and bar. The showers were also very good with plenty of hot water. What did you enjoy most about your stay?

- Mr Peter Mitchell, Nov 2016

Thank you for your comments, Peter. We were sorry to hear that a few things weren?t quite right for you during your stay. We apologise that your wife cut her finger on a broken glass. We have informed the cleaners although it can be difficult to spot the odd thing like this and we do ask expect guests to leave kitchen equipment, crockery, cutlery and tableware in good order and clean for those who follow. The kitchen is more than adequate for the size of the lodge and suitably equipped for a self catering stay (although there is no dishwasher). We have passed on your comments to the owners and asked them to also check the kitchen inventory in case any items are ?missing?. Similarly we have informed the park owners about the outside drainage as they are responsible for the grounds and roads around the lodge. Apologies for the inconvenience this caused. These things aside we were pleased to hear you enjoyed visiting the Lake District. The lodge is perfect for a relaxing break in the Lakes, it provides guests with modern and cosy accommodation which is great value for money ? and only a 2-minute walk to the marina and lakeshore. Thank you once more for your feedback comments. Property Owner

Mr Bryan Wells Sep 2016

“This was our first visit to the park and we took a chance with the lodge being at the end of a road.”

However, there was a short cut to the main reception area. The lodge was everything we expected and more. It comfortable housed 4 adults and a small dog. The excellent weather obviously made a huge difference to our experience but everything we experienced in the park was really good. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The location. It was ideal for exploring the whole Lake District. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Drive across Wrynose and Hardknott passes.

Mrs Jennifer Allan Sep 2016

“We spent a weekend at Woodland Nook, White Cross Bay with my Son, Daughter-in-law and Grandson.”

The place itself is just a glorified caravan and there is absolutely no privacy. We had to wash every glass and every piece of crockery we got out of the cupboards as obviously the people before us did not do this neither it seems did the cleaner. There was no mat to place in the bath which made having a shower in there very slippery. I fell and badly bruised my leg and banged my head on the wall. The lodge is situated quite close to the main road into the site and you could hear traffic noise day and night. But by far the worst thing for us was Friday and Saturday nights were ruined by the unbelievably noisy parties being held in a lodge at the back of Woodland Nook until well gone 10.00 pm. We were babysitting on the Saturday night whilst my Son & Daughter-in-law went to a wedding and after only an hour in bed my Grandson was woken up by the noise. My family left on the Sunday as they had work the next day but we stayed on until Monday. I took a pair of sheets and pillow slips with me to change the double bed on the Sunday night as we had slept in the single beds. Unfortunately I left this bedding In the bedroom. I stripped all the beds for the cleaner and my sheets were neatly folded in a pile ready for me to pack. When I realised that I'd left them I contacted the office and was told they would get in touch with the cleaning company who would email me. I'm still waiting for them to contact me. The cleaner should have realised there were more sheets than there should have been. Clearly not very trustworthy. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Going into Windermere What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Pool

- Mrs Jennifer Allan, Sep 2016

Thank you for your review. We were very sorry to hear that there were a few things not quite right during your stay. Due to the level of disappointment and upset we felt it necessary to contact you in person to resolve the points raised and we appreciate you taking the time to talk to us. As you are aware your bed-linen has been found and we are in the process of returning it to you - it takes time to track items once they are in the system. We have also passed on your comments to the contract cleaners for their attention as it is unusual for this to be overlooked, although we do rely on guests prior to their departure to wash cutlery and crockery. This is by no means an excuse and we offer you our apologies. Your comments about the noise going on until 10.30 have also been passed on to the park management for their reference. It is a family friendly site and the Park rules are usually well regulated. We were concerned with you slipping in the bath and in light of your incident we have put in place extra precaution by providing a bathmat for the safety of guests ? thank you for bringing this to our attention and we were pleased that you were not too badly injured. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused to yourself and family throughout your time at the lodge. As a company we take all feedback comments very seriously and we sincerely hope that we have put your mind at rest and you are satisfied that we have addressed your concerns. Woodland Nook is a great option for those wanting modern and comfortable accommodation with onsite facilities, and in the heart of the Lakes. Property Owner
Mr Claire Naylor Sep 2016

“Had a brilliant 4 nights in this lodge would definitely recommend it to anyone, it was in a excellent position within the site, only a short walk to the park and bar.”

Only thing i would mention is that the mattress on the double bed could do with being changed as not very comfortable, otherwise everything else in lodge was brilliant. Would definitely book the same lodge again. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Home from home comfort. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? If you have young kids Wray castle is a must.

“We arrived at 3pm, as requested, and everything was ready.”

We noted that the lodge was spotless and well presented. It was perfect for our needs as a family of four. It was great having two bathrooms, too. The location, we felt was one of the best on the site as it was quiet and not a throughway for cars, which is always a worry when you have children. We were extremely lucky with the weather that weekend and we made use of being able to sit on the deck and for the children to play on the garden. The lake is a five (or so) minutes away and we were able to go out on our kayaks from there. We would definitely love to visit again. What did you enjoy most about your stay?

Exactly like its pictures. It sits in a quiet corner of the park, but it is also situated near a footpath with quick access to the restaurant and facilities. A lovely place for a short break. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Very spacious property. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Handy for Brockhole and Beatrix Potter experience.

The property

Woodland Nook is a modern and comfortable holiday lodge sleeping four people, at White Cross Bay, on the shores of Lake Windermere.

The lodge sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and is a short distance to the clubhouse and facilities.

With its spacious open plan living and dining area and fully equipped kitchen, it’s a lovely retreat but with all the comforts of home.

The outdoor decking and lounging furniture means you can enjoy an al fresco breakfast or perhaps an evening glass of something chilled.

Woodland Nook also welcomes two dogs so the whole family get to enjoy a holiday.

White Cross Bay is in a fabulous location, on the shores of Lake Windermere.

With views across the water and to the surrounding fells, you are literally in the heart of the Lake District and your lodge will be just a few yards from the waterside.

Note: Some facilities on the park are subject to extra cost such as use of the pool, entertainment, bar and restaurant.

500 yards up the main A591 is Brockhole Lake District Visitor Centre, with its gardens, house, café, restaurant, walks, boats, adventure playground and Tree Top Trek: there’s lots to do!

You’re also just two miles from Windermere village with shops, cafes and pubs, and three miles from Bowness boat landings, where the cruisers come in.

Bowness is a cosmopolitan village with award-winning restaurants and pubs and quirky shops, a cinema and the World of Beatrix Potter attraction.

Three miles in the other direction, head to Ambleside, another bustling town with shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants and of course, walks in every direction.

Two miles north on the A592 is the pretty village of Troutbeck, home to two traditional pubs with log fires: The Queens Head and the Mortal man; Holehird Gardens, and the National Trust’s Townend House.

Further on you climb up to the magnificent Kirkstone Pass, then drop down to Brotherswater & Ullswater.

An amazing holiday in the Lake District awaits you.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
