Beautiful cabin

Family stay at Rydal lodge. The cabin is lovely, comfy beds, kids enjoyed having a tv/dvd in the bedroom. It’s very spacious. The kitchen / lounge/ dinner was a nice open plan. Got to have family time. The cabins not far away from the swimming pool. I few thinks that let the cabin down, cleanliness it seemed like it hadn’t been cleaned properly from the previous people, sweet on the floor, dog treat wrappers and the side of the sofa, and the oven was full of dirty trays, thick grease on them. Outside very dirty, we couldn’t sit outside. The hot tube was lovely , kids enjoyed it but not all the sprays are working, only half the tube worked. We went swimming once, very manic. We didn’t realise or was told we have to book in advance a time slot, that was very disappointing. The arcade was cute, nice for the kids. The kids entertained was good, but not a lot of space for the kids to dance.

We are so pleased that you had such a good experience overall, Emma. It is disappointing, however, that the cleaning was not carried out to the standard it should have been and we regret this. Thank you for pointing out that some of the hot tub sprays are not working properly. We have drawn these matters to the attention of the independent maintenance contractors on behalf of the owners. It is unfortunate that you chose to use the swimming pool onsite since that has to be paid for by you in order to obtain the membership which is not under the control of the lodge owners or our company as booking agents. We have arranged free access for all our guests to Choices Health Club. It might be helpful if in future this is made clearer when our guests make their booking and we are grateful to you for pointing out the problems you experienced. We are sure on a return visit you will be completely satisfied.

Good lodge, with all you need for a good stay.

Enjoyable stay at Rydal Lodge, The beds were comfortable, the rooms clean and airy. The hot tub was serviced daily, and ready to use when we arrived. Will would stay here again. It lacked its own dedicated wifi, but we had good reception on our phones to used then to create our own hotspot.

Lovely comfortable lodge

We have stayed at WhiteCross bay a few times now and love the park and location. Lodge is clean, spacious and well equipped. Comfy bed and has the biggest hot tub we have ever used! One thing I would suggest is the decking could do with some maintenance/coat of oil or paint.

Review date: 13th July 2019

Thank you for the review, Ian and it is pleasing to hear you enjoyed your stay. This is a lovely place to relax and unwind and super spacious for the whole family to enjoy. Noting your suggestion for the decking, thank you for bringing this to our attention and we we will of course raise it with the lodge owners. Rydal Lodge is beautifully presented and a great location for exploring the Lakes - or indeed a trip to Brockhole. We'd be delighted to welcome you again soon.

May Dog Stay

The lodge is located in a gorgeous Park in the Windermere area. There are 3 towns very close by with great amenities. We stay in the lakes every year and this is by far the nicest lodge and park we have stayed on. The lodge itself is very spacious and was ample room for my partner and I and our medium sized dog. The lodge has everything you need, no need to bring a single kitchen item- the owners have put their on stamp on the place which makes it feel like a home from home and the added bonus of a super long bed sealed the deal. The outdoor space is fantastic- with fully enclosed decking so no need to worry about the dog and a gorgeous large sofa to sit Na enjoy the sun. The hot tub is huge- and was all set up for our arrival. Anyone looking at this should book immediately. We will most definitely being booking again very soon for our trip next year.

Thank you very much Michaela for your great review, we are delighted to hear you had such an enjoyable stay in a fabulous lodge. Rydal Lodge is very much a home away from home and with the bonus of a hot tub, it is the perfect place is unwind and relax. This lodge is a firm favourite amongst our guests and it would be our pleasure to welcome you back in the future.

A Beautiful Lodge

Rydal Lodge is a beautiful lodge situated on a lovely private cul-de-sac on the site. Upon arrival the lodge was spotlessly clean and tidy and we were really impressed with the comfort. We had absolutely no problems or any complaints whatsoever during our stay. One very slight niggle was that the hot tub is a little tired with not all of the jets seeming to work at once but it was superb for our needs. We were completely secluded in the tub which was lovely as walking around the site we saw many that had little or no privacy. I would wholeheartedly recommend staying at Rydal Lodge. If space, comfort and privacy are important to you then this is the Lodge for you. I did get the impression that as we hadn't booked through Parkdean we weren't treated to as much of a welcome at the reception as those that were - a small thing but it did make me smile!
