This is our 5th (possibly 6th but Ive lost count!) visit to Lily Tarn. The location of the lodge is lovely, as is the location of White Cross Bay as Im a massive lover of the Lakes and this park gives you a great view every time you wander down to the marina. We didnt know what to expect of the lodge and our visit due to C19 however I cant fault the cleanliness of the lodge, it was immaculate. Big compliments to the cleaners! The lodge hasnt really changed in the years weve been visiting, everything is the same with the exception of a bathroom being modernised. Doesnt really impact your stay other than showing its age with creaky beds, both bedrooms are affected by this and come across a bit rickety as you can feel and hear each other moving in the night but as we only visited as a couple on our own it didnt affect anything other than our sleep, but this was minimal and we quickly got used to it. The decor is the same and as this is personal preference has no impact to our stay, however I do believe being updated could increase the appeal of the lodge as many others have a wow factor inside, whereas although this lodge isnt the most recent with its interior, it has one of the best positions for privacy and individuality with its little bridge over the beck and fairy lights meaning it is lovely to sit out and enjoy the hot tub on a night once the sun goes down. Great news the onsite pub is now dog friendly, unfortunately we didnt get to use this as seating wasnt available for a good couple of hours each time we tried to get in for a meal. The overall facilities and services of Parkdean let the trip down. We arrived around tea time and couldnt get near reception because of diners queuing and waiting to be seated but because we knew where we were going and the barriers were open, we went straight to our lodge. I visited again later that night around 7.45 and reception was closed even though it was supposed to be open until 8. It resulted in an early visit the next morning (again no reception cover) to ask someone for the code to get out as the barriers were down. We used the Parkdean app to order food but had to return into a queue with another two people in the same boat as theyd got our orders wrong. I really like LDLHs service as they take care with your booking and give you all the help you need right up to and including your stay. I also love the Lily Tarn Lodge and it has been somewhere weve enjoyed staying over the years but this recent visit has meant were not rebooking yet for next year and are looking at alternatives for places where we can get better onsite service. This doesnt mean we wont be back in the future, just maybe not as often as before.
Thank you for the review, Kelley. Whilst delighted you enjoyed your stay at Lily Tarn, we are sorry to hear you were disappointed with the onsite service at White Cross Bay. We can tell you that the park, having brought in extra measures due to Covid, are doing all they can to ensure guests and staff are kept safe. Please do bear with them as we are sure that over time things will fall into place. On that note we do hope that you return to Lily Tarn soon. This comfortable two-bedroom holiday lodge with hot tub is in a great location for exploring the lakes or simply to relax and unwind. A most welcoming place to stay. We will of course pass on your comments to the owners for their reference along with letting them know you love their lodge. Thank you again and for your kind comments. We shall look forward to welcoming you again in the near future.

This was our 5th visit to Whitecross bay (1st in Lily Tarn). The lodge itself is just about 2 mins walk from reception or the lake, off the main road so no traffic passing. The lodge was perfectly clean and had everything that you need. The decking area is ample with plenty of seating, a lovely hot tub and plenty of lights for sitting out on warm evenings. I would definitely return to this beautiful lodge. We were very lucky with the weather too, it was a scorching week with thunderstorms on a few evenings (bonus). One thing that I didnt know, Whitecross Bay club house is now dog friendly, its about time!.

Great lodge in ideal location on park. Not to far from the lake, clubhouse or refuse/recycling and laundrette
