"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."

"Comfortable stay with lovely amenities"

"We were a bit caught out thinking it was Hoseasons, but its actually Parkdean. Still okay though."

"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!"

"Our White Cross Bay review: The caravan constantly has a strong sewage or gas smell, making it quite unpleasant. Best suited for two, but very cramped. Not ideal."
Rachel Turner - Jun 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."
Emma Clarke - Jun 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."
Clara Reynolds - May 2024
"Honestly, the lodge was okay overall, but the beds were a real letdown. I just couldnt get comfortable and ended up sleeping on the settee instead, which was pretty frustrating. I noticed in the guestbook that others had mentioned the same issue, so its clearly a recurring problem. The biggest gripe, though, was the misleading advertising. The photo on the website showed a lovely view of Harrod with its balcony overlooking the lake, but thats not what we got at all. Its almost like a different scene! The picture seemed taken from the balcony, but it didnt actually feature Harrod itself, just the lodge and the lake in the background. That felt like a bit of a scam, honestly. I wouldnt book through this company again and I believe some compensation is fair given the false representation. Definitely not what we expected!"
Emily Carter - Apr 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 Carter - Mar 2024
"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!"
Emma - Nov 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."
Sarah - Nov 2023
"Really enjoyed our stay, the caravan was perfect for us."
Rachel - Nov 2023

"Great spot, would recommend it."
Oliver - Jul 2020
"Great vibe, lovely staff, food was really good value."
Emma - Jul 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!"
Emma - Jul 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!"
George - Jul 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!"
Alex - Jul 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."
Martin - Mar 2020
"Really enjoyed our weekend here, the place was lovely."
Emma - Mar 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!"
Lucy - Mar 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 - Feb 2020
"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!"

"Excellent location and surrounding. Very good park.The lodges great quality clean and very well equipped. The only thing the swimming pool opening hours could be longer it only operates 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon."
