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!

Christmas at Rydal

I have stayed at Rydal before and loved it. Just a few little bits... Oven needs a deep clean. The mirror lights in bathrooms not working. The hot tub tv? Had trouble last time does it even have one? Freezer needs defrosting. TV & WIFI for the money you pay in any lodge a better TV package and WiFi be a good idea. Other than those little things we had a great stay. Will definitely return.

Thank you for the review and perfect ratings, Lorraine. We are delighted to hear you loved your stay at Rydal Lodge. A beautifully presented two-bedroom holiday lodge with hot tub located on White Cross Bay. A wonderful place to stay especially over Christmas. Thank you for your further comments which we have raised with the lodge owner and who will address accordingly. That said the inbuilt tv screen in the hot tub is no longer available to use although the hot tub is – and is fantastic! We do apologise for any inconvenience caused. We are thrilled you went on to have a great stay and we look forward to welcoming you for another in the near future.

Rydal Lodge

On arrival at Rydal Lodge we had an issue with smelly bedding in the master bedroom it was a damp smell.Also the tv had a very poor signal, so we telephoned customer services (number in Manuel) to which someone came out and sorted the problem on the same day. Issue with bedding was resolved the following day. We was promised clean towels as well but this wasn’t to be . A cosmetic issue was the decking could do with a little TLC . Could benefit with a sky tv package and direct access to lodge WiFi as the Whitecross bay WiFi is very poor. Overall we did enjoy our time at Rydal Lodge a very comfortable lodge with all amenities we needed , we also enjoyed the hot tub .

Thanks for reviewing your recent stay at Rydal Lodge. We were sorry you encountered a few issues on arrival which were addressed promptly. Your helpful comments to improve things have been passed on to the owners for their consideration. There is a Sky feed into the lodge providing access to a couple of extra channels along with the regional freeview channels. This is usually more than sufficient for guests when they are on holiday. We were pleased you enjoyed your time at this very popular, spacious lodge which also has it's own private hot tub.

Fab stay!!!

Very enjoyable stay, the lodge was ideally located in the park...being close enough to the main resort area and not to far from the lakes shore. Loved the fact that the hot tub was in a secluded position and the fairy lights made it. The lodge itself was remarkably clean and very spacous as well as having a baeutiful modern interior. The decking area is gated which was perfect for a wondering toddler being followed by a curious pooch! Cant wait to visit again

A wet but pleasant stay!

We stayed over the Easter week, arriving on a very rainy Bank Holiday Monday! The Lodge is very nicely furnished, in particular the main living area/kitchen. The hot tub is huge and is really lovely, the kids enjoyed it so much! The kitchen is well equipped and had a nice big dining table. The telly had Sky Family Cinema channel which was a treat for the kids as they watched a new film each day! The park was very busy, due to it being half term, so we didn't go in the onsite pub or pool. However, we did take a walk down to the lake at the edge of the park and the kids fed the ducks. We visited Bowness, Ambleside and took some pictures from up Kirkstone Pass. Lake District Lodge holidays customer service was excellent, and soon rectified a small issue we had.

The hot tub is indeed fab, and although the tv in the tub is an extra bonus we apologise that it was not working.
