Had a lovely week

Had a lovely week staying in L'al yem lodge. Very comfortable & everything you needed was provided. It's a short walk to the children's playground, swimming pool & club house & Whitecross bay is in an ideal place to drive to all the lovely places in the Lake District. We have stayed at Whitecross Bay several times but loved this lodge. We booked again for next year at the same lodge.

Perfect holiday

I went to the l'al yem lodge on white cross bay holiday park with my best friend and 3 of our dogs! The lodge was absolutely lovely and although there was a seated section with the bar which was dog friendly, we loved the take out option for food at the bar! The lodge had an open plan living/dining area which we found to be lovely for continuing watching the TV whilst eating along with a 2 seater recliner and a 3 seater sofa. The small hallway lead us to 2 lovely spacious rooms of which both had very comfortable beds. The bathroom also was perfect as it was a bath/shower which I personally prefer but it also worked for when the pups would come in from a dirty walk and could be bathed easily. Although it wasnt particularly sunny when we went, I'm sure the decking, patio area would be lovely to sit out and have a bbq. :) The lodge was overall clean, modern and perfect for our holiday! We will definitely be returning to this lodge in the future and will be recommending to all friends and family!

Lovely Area

A nice lodge in a lovely part of the lake district. The site is quiet and placed right on windermere so lovely stroll down to the waters edge from site. It is however a nightmare to get off site and turn right. The lodge is self is nice, very spacious, lovely kitchen, veranda is fantastic to sit out on a night time but what let it down is it looks a bit tired and could do with a little tlc - wallpaper at the top was stuck with selotape as must be peeling - the bath had black mould round it and the chairs in the dining room were wobbly and loose, very damp and mouldy smell in the back bedroom. I would return to this site it was a very relaxing holiday and close to windermere, ambleside and brockhole. The entertainment and pool is very small as is the amusements so not much to do for kids. Excellent service from Lake district lodge holidays keeping me informed all the way on booking by email, text etc so recommend highly

Lovely park

We stayed at this lodge Mon-Fri.The 3pm check in seemed a bit excessive bearing in mind you have to leave at 10am.It is the latest check in we have ever had.You almost lose a day!!The Park itself is faultless.Clean with excellent facilities.Our only issues were the location of the lodge.If we had realised it was so near the main road we wouldn’t have booked it as we were after some peace and quiet.It is so loud,it actually spoilt our stay as we didn’t feel relaxed when we were sitting outside.The lodge is on a corner of a road and you also get a lot of passing cars,so as you can see,it’s not quite the peaceful Lake side setting we imagined which is a shame as the lodge was very nice apart from the most uncomfortable double bed we have ever slept it,it was like sleeping on a board!!The lodge is well equipped and has everything you need for a self catering holiday.We would return to this park but just not this particular lodge.We would make sure we were located further down into the park where it seemed lovely and peaceful.

Thank you for your review Paula. We are sorry you did not enjoy the location of the lodge at White Cross Bay. We would love to give guests more time for their stay however the lodge has to be prepared, checked and any maintenance issues dealt with in the short window before the 3 pm arrival time. We haven't received any similar comments about the condition of the bed. Of course comfort can be personal choice. L'al Yem (Little House) is a very popular lodge offering great value, clean and spacious accommodation.
