We have been coming to Hill Top for a number of years now, and this year is the first year where we felt it hadn't been cleaned thoroughly We normally get left a card by the cleaner but didn't have that this year. We will be back as we love it's location and it's so peaceful and quiet. We also have taken advantage of the bus stop just a five minute walk from the park.

Great stay in a great lodge as described on Sykes app. This is our 5th holiday with Sykes and the best lodge we have stayed at yet. We were welcomed with a nice little welcome pack after our 100 mile journey which was appreciated. Clean, airy, sky TV, wifi, nice comfortable lodge in a great area of the park only 200 yards from the lake. Nice decking and hot tub to enjoy a evening drink.
We felt the accommodation exceeded expectations enjoyed the peaceful location ! Very cosy everything we needed did enjoy the Hot Tub extra bonus. Felt the location was good set between Windermere and Ambleside which we know very well used the local buses which stopped outside White Cross Bay no need to use your car for getting to visit other Towns and Villages.
We have been visiting Hill Top Lodge for a number of years now, we love the location of the Lodge. It's always nice to know you're going to arrive and everything is going to be perfect. Looking forward to returning in September when we will have a mum travelling with us.
Amazing Christmas break had by all. Fantastic surroundings, beautiful lodge, nice and cosy. Thank you for an amazing Christmas at Hill Top Lodge x
We had a great time at Hill Top Lodge. Our auntie stayed in the one next to us. We fed the ducks by the lake and played football with each other at the football pitch. It was great I highly recommend this lodge.
We've had a lovely stay the hot tub was incredible we loved the site and the views from the lake the couches and beds were very comfortable.
Weve been staying at white cross bay since 2016 and at the same lodge our happy place until 2023 but unfortunately the lodge we loved so much ceased being a holiday let in 2024. So last year we stayed at a different lodge at white cross bay but that wasnt quite for us. Then we search and found hill top which on paper sounded just what we wanted for our mid week break secluded hot tub, clean and homely and it lived up to the write up. So hopefully this will be our future forever lodge at white cross bay. Thanks Mikes
The lodge was very well equipped. The beds were very comfortable. Good wifi was a bonus. A lodge with a hot tub was the best choice we made. We found the park very quiet and the location was excellent. Would not hesitate to recommend.
Beautiful Lodge, very comfortable, hot tub fantastic, loved the welcoming extras tea, coffee milk. Ideally situated on the site. Will definitely book to return.
Very comfortable, bright, welcoming accommodation. Just a battery required for the clock!

Another fantastic week at our favourite lodge. Immaculately clean on arrival as always. Equip with everything we could possible need and the most comfortable beds. The hot tub was fantastic and maintained every morning. See you at the end of August and we have already booked for next year. Thank you x
Really nice lodge and well looked after, hot tub was really nice, I would definitely book again.
Absolutely beautiful lodge. Will definitely book up again. My mam, dad and brother stayed in the lodge whilst I stayed in another with my family. And they absolutely loved it.
Fantastic lodge with everything you need and more! Cozy and comfortable. Hot tub is an amazing bonus. We will definitely be back!
This was our third year at Hill Top as we love it so much, unfortunately the boiler decided to play up, a phone call to Kate from Property Maintenance who was absolutely brilliant and she did her utmost to sort things. Reluctantly we had to make a decision to cut our holiday short due to time scale on getting the part for the boiler, however, Kate and the owners have gone above and beyond for us with regards to compensating us for the inconvenience and disruption to our holiday. Needless to say we have just rebooked for next year and can't wait!!
First class property. Will definitely be back.

Here are some of the activities and experiences you can enjoy on your visit to Hill Top Lodge. If you discover a worthy inclusion to this list on your hot tub break, please let us know and we'll add it so that other visitors can enjoy it too.
This is an amazing Cumbria attraction well known locally as well as nationally for how close you can get to the animals. Described as the most interactive animal park in Europe it's well worth a visit if you are staying in the area. Open from April to end October some of the highlights are the tigers, penguins, bears, hippos and rhinos. At 2pm during certain seasons it's feeding time so don't forget to plan your day around this so you can watch the animals enjoying their feed. Look out for seasonal events such as Halloween Zoo Boo (free entry for kids in fancy dress) and The Magic of Christmas.
