Step inside to be welcomed into a homely living/dining room where you can relax in the evening with a film night and the warmth from the gas fire.

Make the most of the privacy by enjoying relaxing soaks in the bubbling hot tub which sits beneath a fabulous shelter so you can happily unwind in all weathers, with outdoor furniture too perfect for alfresco dining. White Cross Bay sits on the shores of Lake Windermere, with the lovely marina straight ahead of you and boats bobbing around.

Little things like the situation with glasses that has been previously stated. Only one wine glass and the rest of the glasses just look like they have been collected from bars. Also the quality of the towels, they were very well used. There is also quite a musty smell throughout the cabin which I can only think is why there is a lot of reed diffusers around. My main concern was the decking around the hot tub. Some of it broken and other bits just loose and worn. It was a bit disappointing with what we paid for the stay.

It done us for a nice relaxed week away. If i wanted to be picky, you could update you welcome notes, only one of them had instructions on how to use the fire on the back of it. We'd worked it out before i found it though, but thats just a tiny thing. Lovely lodge, we'd come back again :-)

cozy, warm and private. Hot tub was a real bonus. only things i would comment on was the lodge is a bit dated, the light above the mirror in the bathroom did not work, the shower is rusting at the top and comes out of the top holder if not careful, the bin lid in the kitchen needs replacing and the plug in the bathroom sink comes out of the hole its fixed in ... just minor things that maybe need replacing/fixing. the lodge was really lovely though and clean.
