Lovely stay

My Husband and I just returned from our 'Minimoon' at the corner retreat. The lodge is lovely and spacious, it's in a really good spot on the park and is really easy to find. Parking space right next to the decking which was ideal. The place was mostly really clean, apart from a few bugs that had been squashed into the bathroom blinds, small detail but could do with being sorted. Beds were really comfy and lodge was lovely and warm. The hot tub was great, although it was only set to 26deg when we got there so make sure you crank it up on arrival. Lovely tub though, clean and well functioning. The owners were very kind and left us a voucher for the river cruise from Ambleside, we used that and crossed over to Bowness which we thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you! All in all we would definitely book again! Note, bring your own salt, pepper, sauces etc as there aren't any supplied.

Nice park and lodge

Overall had a nice break in this lodge. Corner retreat is a nicely decorated comfy lodge. Only a couple of issues, the kitchen light did not work and the second bedroom light fitting kept falling out of the roof. Other than this everything was perfect. The park is lovely and the hot tub was very comfy and clean. Overall happy and would return.

Brilliant weekend away.

Lovely lodge kitchen was great for cooking in everything that you needed was there, great sitting area and table was big enough for everyone to get round, comfy beds bedding and towels provided but need extra towels for the hot tub. You need to take your own toilet rolls hand wash ect. Small Shop on site if you forget anything. Would definitely book this lodge again.

Very nice lodge in a good location

Corner Retreat Lodge was in a good location within the park, not far from the shop, reception and bar etc. and close to the lake. The hot tub was situated at the back of the lodge so was not on the roadside unlike a lot of others. The lodge its self was well equipped and decorated to a good standard. The park was just a short drive or bus ride from Windermere and Bowness.

A fantastic base

Corner Retreat had everything that our family needed. The location on the holiday park was excellent and the location for all the attractions the Lake has to offer also. The park had all the amenities needed for a family with children and grandparents, we ate there most evenings when we didn’t bbq or cook at the lodge. It was lovely to find a lodge that didn’t smell of dogs!

Corner Retreat - White Cross Bay

Overall we had an excellent stay at White Cross Bay. Although we loved the lodge and the hot tub I would like to provide some feedback based on our experience. Negative: 1) The Lodge from the outside could do with a paint. 2) The door leading into the Main lounge area from the bedroom areas sticks. When you have 2 children under 4 this causes an issue. 3) One of the down lights in one of the bedrooms had fallen out of the ceiling 4) The seal on the bath shower screen was in need of repair 5) I think the shower thermostat was broken, the shower wasn't very hot and the dial could only be adjusted to make it cooler. Positive 1) Excellent location 2) Hot tub maintained to a high standard 3) Overall cleanliness of the lodge was to a high standard 4) The lodge had everything we need on a daily basis 5) It was good that the lodge was located within walking distance to the Lake district visitors centre, the kids loved it.

Easter break away

Had a few problems when arrived but rang help line and was advised what to do. Lodge was in very good location, could see lake from decking. Weather was very good throughout our stay so we had mornings out and spent most of afternoons on decking with hot tub. Lodge was comfortable and had most things you needed for our stay. We love this area of the Lake District and this is the third time we’ve stayed here(different lodges). Our stay was made extra special as the very kind owner agreed we could take our dog as we had no one to care for him while we were away. Thank you to Lake District lodges for your excellent customer service. I would definitely be returning.
