A fantastic return for mini-moon

This was our second holiday at Esk Pike. Our first holiday as a couple was here in 2015 and we loved it so much that we returned for our mini-moon this year. Suffice to say we were not disappointed. We have created many more memories in this wonderful, quaint lodge, and would absolutely recommend it to anyone thinking of staying at White Cross Bay.

A very well-equipped lodge in a perfect location.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our short break in Esk Pike Lodge. The lodge is very well-equipped and had everything we needed during our stay. With commanding views over the park, the lodge is nestled into a small wooded area. We found the lodge to be very clean and tidy, as well as being extremely cosy on the colder evenings. The position of the hot tub is fantastic, as we were able to listen to birdsong while watching the sun go down on several occasions, which was extremely relaxing. It really is the perfect place to stay in the lakes and we wouldn't hesitate to book again.

Weekend break

Enjoyed a fabulous weekend at Esk Pike Lodge. The lodge was very cosy and comfortable, the hot tub was great and liked the fact that it was secluded. Ideal location as a short bus ride to Windamere or Ambleside, bus stop just outside the park. The amenities on the park were great we didn't use the pool but did have a drink in the bar/ clubhouse. The food looked good and was reasonably priced. There is also a little shop on site which was useful. Overall a great weekend.

Peace and quiet

Esk pike lodge was just amazing. Positioned in a quiet spot with a very private hot tub. The bedrooms are cosy and comfortable. Shower room was all new and immaculate. We had the most relaxing time ever and after walking all day in the rain the hot tub was a great way to end the day. We would definitely go back .

Another lovely relaxing break

We have stayed at Esk Pike on several occasions and have never been disappointed. The lodge is perfect for us and in a great location. Staff on site are all very friendly and helpful, and communication is excellent, with texts and emails giving information and contact details leading up to the break. Cannot fault anything. We have had another lovely break, and it was great seeing the family of deer again wandering around in the mornings!

Cozy, relaxing simply amazing stay

We stayed here for our honeymoon as we've always wanted to stay in a traditional log cabin and this did not disappoint. On first arrival the reception was so friendly clean and looked so picturesque. As we were approaching our cabin we were amazed at how private and spacious it was with lovely views through all the trees it just felt cozy before we got through the door. The inside of the cabin was very well kept clean tidy and again every room was cozy with nice little finishing touches. We didn't expect board games and a selection of dvds in the livingroom this was a nice little touch for family's. The hot tub was amazing, clean and a lovely experience to sit under the little hut which made the hot tub private even though nobody was over looking it anyway but it was a nice finishing touch. We loved every minute of it and are that impressed we are thinging of bringing our girls back in the future. Thank you for a lovely stay.
