Mrs Southward July 2021

“As a family of 3 with a young toddler, this stay couldn’t have been more perfect.”

It was exactly as advertised on the website. The lodge has everything you could possibly need and more, some lovely added extras. The lodge was extremely comfortable and made for a great base for exploring the surrounding areas. It is in a great position on the park, very close to the lakeside and easy to find from the reception area. We were very lucky with the weather and enjoyed plenty of time on the veranda where there was a great, private shaded area throughout the day for our little boy as well as sun all day on the front. We will be recommending this lodge to our friends and family as well as thinking of returning in the future.

Mr Marc Johnson Aug 2019

“Recently stayed in Bosun's Lodge on White Cross Bay holiday park after booking through Lake District Holidays.”

The cabin is in the 'Bowness' area of the park, where all the cabins are the wooden clad type. The location on the site was very quiet, but only a 2 minutes walk to the waters edge, and a 5 minute walk to the site reception which included the Boathouse bar and restaurant, and shop and swimming pool. Bosun's lodge is very modern inside, and fully equipped with everything you could need, from cooking utensils to appliances with a washing machine and dishwasher provided. The cabin was very clean and ready for our arrival. The little extras like coffee pods for the Nespresso machine and packets of sweets for the kids (teens) in our party were nice touches. The cabin also has a hot tub, which was ready for use, and we used each day. It is also positioned in a secluded area down the side and to the rear of the cabin, so its private. We only had one minor issue during heavy rain one day. The Electricity went off to the cabin, and after following the instructions to reset (in the handbook/file in the cabin), it would not come back on. I phoned the maintenance number and there was someone on site who came to look at the issue within minutes, and the electricity was back on. Included with the booking, was free use of a nearby health club for gym and swimming pool facilities, but we didn't use them. The site itself is very good, clean and most cars driving around respect the 5mph speed limit. We would definitely return to White cross Bay holiday park, and would definitely look to book this cabin again, as it was excellent and had everything we needed. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Using the hot tub. Even on a drizzly evening, it was great to sit in. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Bowness-on-Windermere is a lovely town and well worth a visit. Also head towards the woodland walk on the holiday park and maybe spot the deer.

- Mr Marc Johnson, Aug 2019
Mrs Alexis Marlborough Aug 2019

“We had a lovely week in Bosun's Lodge.”

It is a good size for 4 people, very clean and well equipped. It's in a nice quiet location on White Cross Bay (which is a really nice park). The hot tub was lovely after days full of walking and cycling. We didn't find the double bed that comfortable, it was a bit hard for our liking, but obviously that's personal preference. We would definitely recommend this lodge. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Hot tub What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Brockhole

“Had a fabulous time at Bosuns Lodge.”

Lodge was immaculately clean, very spacious, kitchen had every utensil you would ever need. Outside area was very pleasant with two seating areas. The hot tub was very secluded with screening on all sides. We did not use any of the park facilities but did use Choices Health Club which again had excellent facilities.

“This lodge was home from home.”

Very clean and some lovely added touches, like sweets in the kids room and nespresso capsules. Everything you could want in the lodge. We ate in every night as the facilities were so good we didn't want to leave the lodge. and the hot tub was a nice welcome after some long walks. There were walks straight out from the lodge so you didn't need to use the car and Brockhole, a 10 mins walk down the road was lovely with plenty of things to do for the children and an information centre. However you can print the walks off before you go and then you don't have to pay for them. I wouldn't hesitate to return to this lodge and will be looking again for next year. Thanks for a wonderful stay, creating some more superb family memories. What did you enjoy most about your stay?

Mrs Kate Mcdermott Mar 2019

“On arrival, the lodge greeted us with a cosy and comfortable feel and we wasn't disappointed.”

The hot tub is welcoming, even on a wet and windy weekend and is discreetly tucked away from the road and hardly overlooked. We arrived with the tail end of Storm Gareth but sitting in the lodge, with all its amenities was a perfect place to be on a wet Saturday in the lakes enjoying good company. The layout is spacious and more than enough room for 4 adults. The place is immaculately clean and well maintained and the beds are very comfortable. If you do manage to venture out it's in a great location in the park, only a short walk to onsite bar and restaurant and not far from the lake. We had a great weekend and would definitely return.

“Lodge is located a 2 min walk from everythng; the lake, the centre, the swimming pool, the bar.”

Lovely clean new lodge with all the amenities you need - dishwasher, good showers with good water flow, nice bath, THE comfiest beds we have slept in for a while, TV's in all rooms, DVD player, stock of games and DVDs and books and of course the hot tub. Had an issue with hot tub not working first night on arrival but called customer service and their rep came out within minutes. Sadly couldn't be fixed BUT they did get the hot tub repairman out by 10am on the saturday and was fixed in 30 mins so excellent customer service after that disappointment. TV then went on the blink so we were really unlucky but agian came and replaced the TV within 30 mins to at least get us a TV that worked. All the utensils you need, lots of useful things left by other guests and owners in case you forget things (tea bags, condiments, foil, sandwich bags etc). Seperate fridge and freezer made things easy, typical lodge gas oven just need to learn its quirks! Once hot tub was working then in lovely quiet corner and got sun throughout the day but not overlooked so very relaxing. Great place, recommended! What did you enjoy most about your stay? Location, relaxation and the peace and quiet What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests?

Park Rules and Operations – White Cross Bay

All holiday parks are owned and managed by a separate company to ourselves. Lake District Lodge Holidays has no association with the owners of these parks or responsibility for the provision of services they offer. At certain times of year, there maybe a reduction in those services, which is outside of our control.

Commercial vehicles, caravans, camper vans, Hen or Stag parties are not permitted onsite. Dogs must be kept on leads at all times and are not be left alone in the lodges at any point during your stay.

You will be staying on an operational holiday park, which means work may be undertaken from time to time by the park owners during your stay. Although Lake District Lodge Holidays will always try to inform guests in advance if something may impact on a stay and if we have prior knowledge. We cannot be held responsible or accept any liability for park operations of which are outside of our control and which we have no knowledge of.

Any issues relating to a stay at a privately owned lodge should be reported back through Lake District Lodge Holidays as the park are not responsible for managing the lodge or booking for private sublet guests during their stay.

Hot Tubs

For the comfort of other holidays guests we request that noise is kept to a minimum. Usage of the hot tub is between 10am and 10pm only. If you are found to breach these timings then you may be asked to vacate the park with no call for a refund.

All hot tubs are maintained to strict industry standards and HSE guidelines by separate qualified independent contractors on behalf of the property owners. This includes changing the water between guest stays and checking the water condition on a regular basis.

Whilst every effort is made to have a hot tub ready for immediate use by the arrival time stated, this may not always be possible. In such cases the hot tub will usually be ready to use later that day unless otherwise advised. In such cases no compensation or refund is payable unless the hot tub is faulty.

Information about using a hot tub safely is provided at all lodges with a hot tub and on a prominent notice near the tub. All hot tub users should wear an appropriate bathing suit. Usage of a hot tub is at a guests own risk and Lake District Lodge Holidays accepts no liability for anything which may happen to a guest as a direct result of using a hot tub.
