Guests that stayed at this property said

Reviews indicate a generally satisfactory level of cleanliness, though some guests felt it could be improved. Dustiness and a quick turnover clean were noted, suggesting room for enhancement in this area.

The lodge's location is highly praised for its convenience and proximity to local attractions, making it an ideal base for exploring the Lake District.

Guests consistently mention the comfortable beds and the cosy atmosphere of the lodge. However, some noted issues with heating and the comfort of the sofas.

Facilities are generally well-received, with the hot tub being a highlight. Nonetheless, there are comments about the need for maintenance, such as the decking and BBQ cleanliness, and issues with Wi-Fi and the shower.

While guests have mentioned a chilled bottle of wine upon arrival, there are not enough references to gifts or thoughtful touches to accurately score this category. It should be noted that such gestures are appreciated but not guaranteed.

About this property

This welcoming lodge is located within walking distance of Windermere, set in a beautiful woodland and close to a holiday park that has all the amenities you could want for a perfect holiday.

Footprints Lodge has a lovely wrap-around decked terrace, its own private hot tub and attractive high-ceilinged rooms. With an on-site children's playground and plenty of amenities available at the holiday park, it makes the ideal family holiday location.

The comfortable open plan living room and dining room is light and airy, with lovely wood ceilings and a relaxing feel. The dining area leads through to the fully-equipped kitchen. You can bring the outdoors in by opening the French doors onto the decked terrace, or relax on the comfortable sofas in front of the TV. The cosy master double bedroom has an en-suite shower room, and two twin bedrooms ensure there's plenty of room for your family. A family bathroom, with a shower over the bath, completes the upstairs.

The lodge is set in beautiful woodlands next to a peaceful brook, and the wraparound terrace has garden furniture and a patio for outside dining, with its own hot tub.

Set in White Cross Bay, hidden away on the shores of Windermere, there's plenty to do. With a holiday park on the doorstep, you can enjoy the park's restaurant and takeaway or relax in the beer garden while the kids have fun in the outdoor play area. Unwind in the heated indoor pool or the sauna (charges might apply) or, if you feel like some exercise, there's areas for tennis, football and basketball, you also have use of the marina and private boat launch (charges might apply). Windermere offers you the chance to do sailing, kayaking and other water sports, lake cruises, cycling, tree top exploring and more.

For days out, you can explore Ambleside and Bowness and their shops, cinemas and bars. There are many attractions in the region, including Wray Castle, Loughrigg Fell, the falls at Stockghyll Force and the Beatrix Potter Gallery. There are also plenty of interesting eateries to try, including the Flying Pig Pub and the Arts Bar and Grill.

Footprints Lodge really is an idyllic setting for a relaxing holiday, as well as being the perfect base for an action-packed, fun-filled family break.

    There is plenty of space and it is lovely and clean. The host was very helpful and rang me straight back with a query I had. The decking would have benefited from a quick sweep and being jetwashed, but it wasn't an issue, just an observation.

  • Michael

    I went and purchased air freshener and a scented candle. I’ve also never stayed at a lodge before where we have never had towels provided, especially when paying so much for a stay. The lodge also had a BBQ, which had a set of rules about using it, keeping it clean and tidy. We did plan on using the bbq, but after removing the bird fecies cover, the actual grill itself was disgusting and way beyond needing a while down. The lodge has great potential but dose require some general Maintanance.

  • Emma

    The lodge was beautiful, so clean, comfortable and modern. The hot tub was amazing and if it hadn't rained every day we would have loved to have used the outside area more. This gives us the perfect excuse to visit again in the summer.
