"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."

"Honestly, we had a pretty great time overall. The site itself was lovely and the reception team were really friendly and welcoming. Our caravan was spotless when we arrived, thanks to the lovely cleaning staff who checked everything was perfect. The kids entertainment - especially the guy doing the unicorn show - was fantastic; my niece adored it! The only hiccup was our first night - the restaurant felt a bit chaotic, probably because our table was near the arcade and all the dogs barking. Also, the waiter was a bit abrupt when he handed us the wrong burgers, but the food was really nice. Wed definitely come back!"

"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!"

"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."

"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."

Oliver - 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
"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!"

"We stayed at White Cross Bay in the Elter caravan and honestly, it was pretty great. The place is spacious - really, you dont feel cramped at all. The kitchen was well stocked, which made cooking easy. We did hit a slight snag with the single beds; they were a bit on the firm side. Solved it by slipping in a spare duvet under the sheets, so no biggie. Since it was March, the outside wasnt exactly warm, so we had to ask for a heater as the central heating took a while to kick in - no gas fire. Despite that, our holiday was fantastic and wed definitely recommend this spot!"

Benji - Sep 2017
"We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge; its a lovely place and very comfy. There were just a few tiny things that could make it even better, like adding a stool at the mirror in the main bedroom - itd be super handy. The bathroom taps were a bit stiff and we couldnt turn them off easily with wet hands, so we needed to grab a towel. Also, a small side table with a lamp in the lounge wouldve made evenings much cosier instead of relying on the main lights. Small tweaks, but theyd definitely boost the experience!"
Emily - May 2017
