Grandpa's Lodge Whitecross Bay

We stayed here for a week in August and found it very comfortable and clean and excellent location, near Brockhole, Ambleside, Windermere and a short walk from the lake. A great holiday for parents and kids alike!

Family stay

The lodge position was great, it was extremely clean and well laid out, I would definately stay again. The only down to our stay was the pool arrangements, I had two lodges so £15 each, I tried to book but could only get a slot for the Thursday one day, the water I thought was cold, particularly for youngsters. I spent £30 for one half hour swim, not good value. I know this is Park Deans problem but it will probably have an effect on future bookings. Well done great holiday

Thanks for your review, Peter. We were sorry your experience of using the onsite swimming pool wasn't that good. it is for those reasons that all guests who book through us have free use of the excellent local health club (Choices) just 2 minutes drive from White Cross Bay. This offers much more flexibility with long opening hours. That aside we were delighted to hear you liked the lodge and rated your stay as 5 out of 5. Grandpa's Lodge is certainly very popular with guests offering spacious, clean accommodation just a short distance from the lake.

Grandpa's Lodge

. We have been coming to white cross bay now for the last eight years, this was our first time in a lodge. We chose Grandpa's lodge because of the location and price. The lodge is just fantastic with plenty of room and great facilities it's just like a home from home. It's nice to have sky TV (even though you don't go away to watch TV.) There is plenty of room on the decking shame it rained at night. Having a washing machine and dryer is a great touch. The lodge was very clean and we could not fault it. I would highly recommend a stay here. It's a shame that the park has gone a bit downhill since being taken over by Park Dean resorts and they had parked some lodges that were being moved in front of our view of the lake so we never had a view as also the hedge was rather high.

Windermere spring break

We have stayed in the lakes on several occasions, but this was certainly, by far the best accommodation we have experienced. The lodge was 5star in every aspect in a very good location.

Review date: 25th May 2018

Thank you for the great comments and superb ratings, Colin. Grandpa's Lodge is beautifully presented for guests to simply relax and unwind in comfort. A spacious and modern two-bedroom lodge in the heart of the Lakes, the perfect holiday retreat. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and we will be very pleased to welcome you for another in the near future.
