Lovely lodge with spacious living area

This is our second time staying in this holiday park, and our first staying in this lodge. It's a really good size for a small family of 3/4. The living area is spacious, with a fire and seating area. The kitchen had all the things we needed, as did the bedrooms. It was clean throughout. The decor is perhaps a little outdated, but it's not like you're there for long so doesn't matter. And the outside hot tub was amazing! Worth paying the extra to get a lodge with a hot tub for sure! My only real issue is that the lodge WiFi was really poor. I was on holiday with my partner and her mum, and after a long day's walking we liked to go back to the lodge and put Netflix on and relax, but we couldn't because the WiFi was so bad. I know it's a minor thing, and most will just argue that if you're on holiday you shouldn't be watching TV, and they're right. However we visited in late December, when it gets dark at around 4pm, and so having enough entertainment in the lodge for us was important. It wouldn't stop me staying here again. But would be handy if the WiFi could be improved. Overall another great stay!

Xmas 2019

This is a beautiful double fronted lodge. Very spacious and decorated lovely. We have stayed at White Cross Bay many times and we will stay at this lodge again. They even put up a Xmas tree for us!! There’s a stream that runs by the decking and you can see ducks swimming around the site, just beautiful. The hot tub was fab and stayed perfectly clean all week right next to a lit up tree and an umbrella for when it rained. Thank you for a wonderful week.

Fab stay at LIlly Tarn

Location is fab and located across a little stream the lodge can be accessed from two different locations which is handy. The lodge has a cosy feel rather than modern i feel if they updated the bedding to something a little more modern that it would help ensure the lodge looks a little more modern. Hot tub was amazing and it was so nice to sit back and relax in the tub on an evening. One of the benefits of this lodge is having 2 jack and jill bathrooms so you basically end up with two ensuite rooms which is fab if you are travelling as two separate couples. We had a nice stay in this lodge and love that it is dog friendly.

Thank you for reviewing your stay at Lily Tarn, Josh and we are so pleased to read your comments. This is a great place to stay. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a hot tub and wifi - where better to be for a relaxing break in the Lakes. Noting your additional comment to update the bedding, we will pass this on to the lodge owners for their consideration. Thank you, and for letting us know you enjoyed your stay. Perhaps we will welcome you again soon?

Nice lodge but very tired

The lodge was nice inside, spacious, clean and tidy. The first thing we noticed was the 'blown' double glazed patio door which was full of condensation, which didn't give us a very good first impression. The settee and chairs were worn and uncomfortable as quite old but overall it was ok. The hot tub wasn't ready for us when we arrived so we had to wait until the following day before we could use it. The outside area we thought needs attention. The decking was always wet, the hot tub old and the patio furniture needs replacing with something more comfortable and modern. We felt the lodges were very much on top of each other as well and had to have the blinds closed most of the time for our own privacy. Overall our stay was 'ok' and we enjoyed it. It is just some of the essentials need attention and it wasn't a 'wow' factor break, especially for the money. An upgrade of certain items would make the lodge more appealing.

Thank you for your review Deborah. We most certainly take on board all your comments and will look into these in more detail, as well as advising the owner of your comments. On a more positive note, we are pleased to hear you found the lodge to be spacious, clean and tidy. Lily Tarn is a great place to stay, with its own dedicated WiFi, hot tub and with two en-suite bathrooms, it is ideal for couples and families who like their own privacy. We hope we will welcome you back in the future, perhaps maybe in one of our other lodges!

Loved it, will be coming back for visit no.7

Repeat of previous reviews but I adore it here. The location is amazing, the lodge is home from home and the work being done to the it makes a massive difference. It was spotless and smelt amazing! Lake District Lodge Holidays make it very easy to sort everything and they’re super friendly. It’s now becoming a tradition to have this annual visit so I’m sure we’ll be back soon. One downside is the onsite pub/ restaurant and the service. It’s such as shame as it massively lets down such a wonderful place.

A lovely lodge

Well-situated a few minutes from the lake. Clean and tidy with adequate resources. Pity there were no face-cloths or soap with the towels etc. Good hot-tub and non-slip mats all around the decking area. Very good location. All in all a good choice.

Review date: 16th August 2019

Thank you for your review Ron, we are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay. We have passed on your comments to the independent housekeeper and lodge owners for their information, thank you for bringing this to our attention and please accept our apologise for any inconvenience caused. Lily Tarn is a very comfortable home away from home lodge, perfect for the whole family! The hot tub is a real bonus and great to enjoy after a busy day hiking or exploring the local area. We would be delighted to welcome you back in the future for another stay.

Another Lake District holiday

Nice lodge but could do with a good clean in the kitchen - oven, glasses, plates, cutlery and pans needed cleaning before use. Probably wrong week to go as we’re bombarded by wasps so could not use hot tub or decking area Otherwise a good lodge to stay in.
