“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.
