Visitor Reviews of White Cross Bay

Emma
Date of stay: 17th March 2025
We found the place perfect for two of us-super cosy and just the right size. It was spotlessly clean when we arrived and those speakers? A lovely surprise! The heating worked perfectly too.
Rebecca
Date of stay: 13th November 2024
Comfortable stay with lovely amenities
Emma Clarke
Date of stay: 1st October 2024
We were a bit caught out thinking it was Hoseasons, but its actually Parkdean. Still okay though.
George
Date of stay: 4th August 2024
We really enjoyed our stay at Harrop Lodge. The place was spotlessly clean and fully equipped, making it feel like a home away from home. The views of Lake Windermere from the decking were absolutely stunning, perfect for relaxing after a day out. Parking was ample, so no worries about space and there was plenty of room for water sports gear too. Only a tiny hiccup - the kitchen flooring was a bit loose in parts, which could be a slip hazard. Still, wed definitely recommend it!
Emma Clarke
Date of stay: 9th June 2024
We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge. It was spotless, beautifully decorated and super cosy-definitely a big upgrade from the caravan. Just a shame the site itself wasnt quite as nice! Still, wed come back.
Clara Reynolds
Date of stay: 25th May 2024
We stayed at the Harrop Lodge recently and honestly, it was quite lovely overall. The views of Lake Windermere were stunning and the terrace was huge, which we loved. That said, the bed wasn't quite as comfy as we'd hoped - not terrible, but definitely not a luxury mattress. The biggest letdown was the outdoor furniture; we asked twice in person and once online, but apparently, they didn't have any. When we raised the issue, it seemed to fall on deaf ears and there was no email contact to chase it up. Bit disappointing, really.
Emma Carter
Date of stay: 27th March 2024
We spent a lovely few days at White Cross Bay and honestly, the location is spot on. The bus stop right outside makes exploring the area so easy, which was a big plus for us. The Windermere Lodge had everything we needed, though it could do with a bit of a deep clean - the lounge chairs looked a bit worn out. The lodges proximity to the main road and the nearby play area was fine for now, but might get noisy during school holidays. All in all, a great spot with plenty of lovely walks nearby, wed definitely return!
Emma
Date of stay: 13th November 2023
The caravan was a decent size and we loved the overall space. The bed definitely needs a new mattress and mattress protectors should be standard. Overall, happy with the stay!
Sarah
Date of stay: 12th November 2023
Overall, we thought the caravan was decent for the price. We were fine with the space and the amenities, though the TV signal was pretty poor, which we expected in the lakes. No wifi or phone signal, but thats pretty normal around here. There were some cobwebs and a big stain on the mattress, but apart from that, it was mostly clean. Not perfect, but okay for what we needed.
Emma Carter
Date of stay: 1st November 2023
We stayed at the camp recently and found the staff genuinely friendly, which was lovely. The caravan itself was a bit of a mixed bag - sofas were quite uncomfortable and the floor was sticky with sugar in the kitchen. I tried cleaning it myself, only to realise it was dirtier than expected. As someone who owns a caravan, I was pretty disappointed with the cleanliness overall.
Rachel

Really enjoyed our stay, the caravan was perfect for us.

We had such a brilliant family break! The lodge was spotless and well-equipped, really comfy furniture and the kitchen had everything we needed. The kids loved the entertainment at the park and relaxing in the hot tub was a highlight!
Oliver, Co. Durham

Emma, Liverpool
Date of stay: 27th July 2020
Great vibe, lovely staff, food was really good value.
Emma, Ayrshire
Date of stay: 24th July 2020
We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely lodge. The decor is stunning and the location on site is super convenient. Only thing was, the third bedroom is quite tiny with a small three-quarter bed-great for kids, but not for two adults. Also, no spare pillows anywhere, which was a bit of a letdown. Still, overall, pretty perfect!
George, Brighton
Date of stay: 18th July 2020
Overall, we had a decent time, but one thing did bother us-waiters not wearing masks when serving and chatting nearby. It felt a bit risky, especially with food so close to their faces. Hope they tighten up on safety soon!
Alex, Consett
Date of stay: 17th July 2020
We were really pleased with the furniture and fittings overall. The mattresses, though, were a bit too firm for us. Luckily, when a kitchen door came loose, they sorted it out super fast. Nice job!
Martin, Betws-y-coed
Date of stay: 13th March 2020
The place was really comfy and clean, which we appreciated. Only downside was the lack of storage in the bedroom and bathroom, plus missing fridge shelves and cushions on the sofas. Minor stuff, really.
Emma, Nottingham
Date of stay: 2nd March 2020
Really enjoyed our weekend here, the place was lovely.
Lucy, Merseyside
Date of stay: 2nd March 2020
When we booked this lodge, we initially thought it would have a hot tub because the advert mentioned certain accommodations. Turns out, Brathay Lodge at White Cross Bay doesnt come with one, which was a bit confusing. We spoke to staff upon arrival and it turns out this mix-up has been happening quite a lot over the past few weeks, mainly because a private owner also calls his lodge Brathay Lodge. When searching online, most pictures are of HIS lodge, not ours. That said, once we got past that initial bump, we settled in quite nicely. Our lodge was pretty cosy, although there was a slight draft coming through the main doors, but the full central heating kept everything warm. The kitchen was well equipped, with a cooker, grill, fan oven, fridge freezer and dishwasher - just remember to bring your own cleaning stuff like washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets. The dining table, pots, pans, cutlery and crockery were all there, making it easy to settle in. Overall, we had a lovely stay once we sorted out the misunderstanding. The staff were really friendly and helpful, which made a big difference. Wed definitely come back again, despite the small confusion at first!
Emma, Nottingham
Date of stay: 21st February 2020
We found the caravan to be really clean and comfy, which was great. The only downsides were not enough hooks for wet jackets and the huge dining table that just got in the way! Still, a decent stay.
Emma, Grimsby
Date of stay: 23rd December 2019
We really enjoyed our stay! All the essentials were in the cabin or available on-site to buy. Already booked again for next year, cant wait!
Emma, Sheffield
Date of stay: 2nd December 2019
Absolutely loved our stay, the place was perfect for a family getaway!
Emma, Wirral
Date of stay: 22nd November 2019
Great stay, loved the lodges cleanliness and friendly staff. Will return!
Emma, Lowton, Lancs
Date of stay: 11th November 2019
The caravan was really comfy and perfect for our autumn escape. We hit lucky with the weather in the Lake District, which definitely made it even better. Wed happily return to this site soon. Love the area!
