The surrounding area offers beautiful walks and attractions, enhancing the overall experience.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Most guests found the lodge clean and tidy, with soft, fluffy towels and well-maintained hot tub. However, a few mentioned minor cleanliness issues such as a musty smell in one room and a piece of broken glass beneath the sofa, suggesting room for improvement.

The lodge's location was highly praised for its tranquility, proximity to the lake, and scenic woodland views. Guests enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and easy access to local attractions, making it an ideal base for exploring the Lake District.

While many guests found the lodge comfortable and the beds of good quality, some noted that the bunk bed room was very small and the mattresses in the single rooms were too soft. The new lounge furniture also received mixed reviews for comfort.

Facilities such as the hot tub, well-equipped kitchen, and on-site leisure options were appreciated. However, some guests mentioned maintenance issues like a leaky en-suite toilet and the need for a deep clean, suggesting that some facilities could be better maintained.

There were no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.

About this property

Woodside Lodge is a beautifully presented holiday lodge in the Pony Meadow area of White Cross Bay. New refurbished for 2020, this lovely accommodation offers a quiet location backing onto a woodland area and is just a short stroll from the lake. Woodside Lodge is great for families with children sleeping up to six guests (Maximum four adults due to the size of the bunk room). Benefiting from a hot tub, this lodge is a real treat on an evening after a long day exploring the stunning national park. This bright and airy lodge offers a great open plan living area for all of the family to socialise and the double patio doors lead out onto the decking area with seating. Note: Some facilities on the park are subject to extra cost such as use of the pool, entertainment, bar and restaurant. In a glorious setting by the lake, White Cross Bay sits on the shores of Lake Windermere, with views all around to the spectacular fells. You’re also just two miles from Windermere village with shops, cafes and pubs, and three miles from Bowness boat landings, where the cruisers come in. Bowness is a cosmopolitan village with award-winning restaurants and pubs and quirky shops, a cinema and the World of Beatrix Potter attraction. Three miles in the other direction, head to Ambleside, another bustling town with shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants and of course, walks in every direction. This lodge allows two dogs however dogs are not allowed in the bar & restaurant on site, but there is limited outdoor seating where they are welcome. The Lake District is all about making special memories with your loved ones.

The twin towns of Bowness and Windermere are both vibrant, fun-filled places set within the splendid scenery of the Lake District. Both towns provide a range of amenities, shops and restaurants to suit all tastes whilst Ambleside offers the additional attraction of a boat ride to Bowness, the Lakeside Aquarium and Beatrix Potter's 'Hill Top House' at Sawrey. Grizedale Forest Park is within easy driving distance and is home to a range of activities including many good walks, mountain biking and the 'Go Ape' adventure park. The region also boasts many National Trust properties as well as a variety of water sports for those who prefer a more adrenaline-fuelled trip. Children will enjoy a trip to the 'World of Beatrix Potter' in Bowness whilst the villages of Grasmere, Coniston Water, Kendal, Keswick and the Lakeland Mountains are all within easy reach.

    It had everything you would ever need. We've stayed at whitecross bay 3 times and this has been the best lodge thus far. We all loved relaxing hot tub after a busy day out. The pub was handy too and dogs were allowed. All in all a great lodge with a great location. Would definitely book again.
