A return visit for us to this great lodge. Well equipped, clean and in a good location. White Cross Bay resort is in a lovely setting and well maintained. The hot tub is a nice way to relax after a day's exploring of the Lakes. We love the fact the decking is completely enclosed so we could just let the dog out without worry. Absolutely no complaints from us and we will definitely be back.

The best lodge weve stopped at in the Lake District. Very very nice. No complaints from us. We had a power cut there, Sykes were round with their maintenance team within 20mins and had it fixed and that was at 6pm. Highly recommend.

We loved our stay at badgers hollow it was an home away from home. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need the lodge was georgous and the hot tub a wonderful treat after long days exploring the lakes. We would definitely recommend to others and will be back ourselves to stay.

The lodge inside was beautiful and the decor lovely, very clean and everything you need couldn't fault it, the hot tub was great the grandchildren loved it. If there was anything that could be improved it would be the outside appearance, a touch of varnish and the decking was in need of a clean around the hot tub area was thick with leaves, I understand it's Autumn but a fresh look outside would benefit the property. Still had a fabulous stay, thankyou

Once we found the cottage and settled in we had a look around my wife took a video to send to our family she only does this if she likes what she sees, I must admit it was better than I expected. It was clean warm and as we had a long drive we settled in with some food and a wee glass of wine. The cottage has everything u would need for Ur break I would recommend the cottage for your holiday. There's a couple of things that I would like to see improved as published before we booked the WiFi isn't great so that wasn't a surprise but it is poor took my wife and hour to send a twenty second video but as we are of an age where that's not a big deal it wouldn't take away from our enjoyment. And a small thing it took us 40 minutes to find the cottage and we drove past the entrance a few times a wee sign just before that entrance would help.

The lodge was fabulous. Cosy and clean and well maintained. Kitchen had ample utensils, pots, pans etc. The 2 bathrooms was ideal fir us as 2 couples.The location is ideal for exploring the lakes. Bus stop right outside the park is perfect.We enjoyed the hot tub for a relaxing evening , however, the jets are not good no power in them and the pump is very loud when using which made us a little conscious of disturbing the neighbours so didnt stay in it for long but still enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic property and location and have been back to the property twice. Absolutely gutted its changed to one dog only now after having two fabulous stays with our two small dogs. Very disappointing that we wont be able to visit again

The lodge was ok however the cleaning staff have let you down. I have taken pictures if you require them.I understand the lodge accepts dogs, we took ours, french bulldog. When we arrived we had to sweep the floor, it was full of long black dog hair. We swept up three times, all long black dog hair. There was cobwebs in the bedrooms and kitchen, lots of dust on the skirting board in the bathroom. Black mould around the windows in the bedroom, black mould on the back of the bedroom curtains, the bathroom door in the ensuite is filthy and water damaged, the ensuite drain needs looking at as it overflows. If I wanted to be really picky the blinds need cleaning.Had we known it was park of Park Dean we probably would not have booked as there was just two adults and no children. The restaurant was not very clean, the carpet hadn't been hooved the whole time we were there, 6 nights, we left a night early. The tables were sticky however three members of staff, Malcolm, Connor and Ellie were very nice and helpful. The ladies toilets had no hand soap in them for days, the gentleman's toilets were disgusting. We booked this as a chilled weekend because I have been through a year and a half of chemotherapy and my immune system is compromised, Park dean did not help in any way by being dirty!

Property is in need of some maintenance. Both entry doors have had issues in the past so part of the locks have been cut out, reducing security. Attention to detail on finishing touches. Hot tub made some terrible noises, I would estimate pump issues. It started running during the night waking us up. Cleaning of the property was not acceptable. We found medication, in the form of tablets, under the table, pleased we found this medication before our dog. We will not be booking this lodge again

Thought the property was lovely as just as stated. It was well equipped with more things than I wouldve expected so that was another lovely surprise.We did drop something that went under the sofa and when we pulled it out to get it , it was very dirty under there so thats probably the only downside .Would definitely recommend

Had a lovely week in the lodge. It was very clean, comfortable and cosy and was situated in a nice quiet spot but not far from the leisure complex. It had everything we could need to make it a fantastic holiday. The site is lovely and is a great base to get out and explore. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely lovely lodge, very clean and relaxing. Hot tub was amazing after the long walks. The couple of problems we had were dealt with straightaway. Also a great location to get out and about with a bus stop right outside. Will definitely be coming back.

Brilliant lodge, everything we needed for a weeks stay. Had one issue that was resolved immediately. Lovely location and very peaceful. On an early morning walk with the dog we met a lovely deer who was just having a quiet walk around the site. Can highly recommend this lodge if you need to recharge your batteries and get away from the hustle and bustle of life.

We had problems with the water jets on the hot tub. I reported to the maintenance guy, but he didn't seem bothered. Very disappointing

Great lodge and in a perfect location for all local towns. Perfect condition lodge with additional hot tub which was perfectly clean along with the rest of the lodge. Ive already recommended this to our friends and family who will be booking shortly. I love that its pet friendly too and is enclosed for the dogs to wander around the lodge with the assurance that they are safe. Lovely quiet lodge, fully kitted out. A home away from home.
