10 Thirlmere

Would have given more stars as most things were acceptable.

The double bed however! Extremely uncomfortable and pillows too hard! We had to leave a night early as we hadn’t got any sleep whilst we were there!

We had a lovely week in the lodge, was very well equipped and comfortable.

Close to the clubhouse which was handy. WiFi wasn't great but that's an issue with the park and to be honest it was a benefit as spent more time playing games instead of being glued to our phone so it was perfect.

Generally a pretty good place, however it's starting to show it's age, signs of high use (it's a holiday home after all!

). It could do with a thorough deep clean (starting to show mould on en-suite silicone and general gunge around the shower door and corners of room) and detailed high level dusting (cobwebs on light fittings, and various nooks and crannies around ceiling joists). Some of the kitchen cabinet did are starting to de-laminate round the edges.

Lovely lodge with a gorgeous decking area I was shocked that it came with essentials like washing up liquid tea coffee sugar etc.

I would be more than happy to stay there again we are already looking for our next available date highly recommended!

Very nice lodge have stayed here many of time as it very good

Beautiful lodge everthing was spot on would definatly return the only small isdue was that the vaccum cleaner would not charge up and i wanted to give a little vaccum around before we left other than that perfect xxx

The property owner was great, leaving us tea, coffee, sugar, washing liquid, toilet rolls etc.

, had the heating on for us, and everything was very clean and tidy. We had a very good time and would recommend 10 Thirlmere to all.

Loved how warm and cozy the cabin was on arrival and the Christmas decorations made it extra special.

It had everything we needed for a perfect stay. Location was spot on. More than enough room for the 4 of us and the dogs. Communication with the owner was 100%. Will certainly be booking again.

Really lovely clean lodge.

As soon as you walked in you can smell how clean it is. The lodge was situated at a fantastic spot on the resort, very close to the reception and club house. We really enjoyed our stay at this lodge.

Lovely, comfortable and spotlessly clean.

Ideally situated within short distance of towns. Cabin in between shop and lake, nice walk in wooded area for dogs. Main decking caught the sun all throughout the day as evening, very quiet at night, slept like a log! Would highly recommend

A lovely property, very comfortable, light & modern.

Lodge set in a lovely part of the park. Being near road made no difference, ample parking for 2 cars. Family plus two dogs thoroughly enjoyed. Thankyou. We would definitely stay again. Reported issues of electricity failure to reception, said would check but report to Sykes as not a Parkdean booking. Found electric box outside, repeatedly re set trip. Lodges opposite also had electric failure. Threw away some dairy products as not aware fridge not working. Couldn’t sit outside, or leave windows open during hot weather on one day due to dust, noise from workmen digging, cutting & replacing concrete, taking down and delivering new lodge no. 91 opposite, working everyday from early in morning. Cleaner aware fridge water dispenser unusable due to thick black mould, which we cleaned as best as could. We have stayed at Whitecross & Fallbarrow for over 30yrs. It does spoil the park by cramming too many lodges/caravans in every space. Maybe the cause of electricity failure due to overload. Thankyou to Sykes & owners of Lodge for promptly getting back to us reguarding electricity.

Lovely place to stay.

We have stayed in other properties on.the site . First time in this property. I was concerned after reading some reviews regarding the location and the noise . Absolutely no problem at all. Infact its a great location to see the deer in the field from the windows or when sat out on the balcony. Great location for the facilities and the lake . Very comfortable. Spacious, safe for the dogs. Very dog and child friendly. Staff were friendly and helpful. The WiFi isn't great but thats the Parks issue not the property.

Our lodge was very clean and comfortable, it was ideal for exploring the windermere area of the lakes.

The site was quite busy but the lodge we were in had privacy and unless you went to the restaurant there didn't seem to be many people around.

The cabin was located in a real busy part of the site with other site uses constantly passing the cabin all day and night, which meant it could be really noisy and we was unable to have any windows open in the bedroom when it was warm because of the people coming back late passed the bedroom.

The cabin would benefit from a hoover as its dog friendly and like all dog owners know you need to keep on top of hair especially if you are there for a week. There was no internet at the cabin however the owner did refund us back a day for the inconvenience.

Ideal location, had everything we needed.

Would definitely stay again.

We stay on white cross bay about 4 times a year and without dought this lodge was one of our favourites , it has everything you need and more , is very clean , very comfortable beds and couch .

Very handy having its own washing machine. Would definitely come again . Thanks for the well needed relaxing break

It was a lovely property and we had a great time.

The location was perfect being near the hub/reception. O

This was our third time staying had a lovely time thanks

There is black mould in the ceiling corner of the master bedroom which is well established.

The beds in all rooms are incredibly uncomfortable. The kettle died whilst we were staying however this was quickly rectified by the owners and a new one was provided the same day. Under the beds do not get cleaned, there is a thick layer of dust under the beds. Kitchen is very well equip for your needs in the stay and the sofa is comfortable for a cosy evening in. The property itself stays very warm and feels cosy of an evening. The main bathroom could do with a shower stand attached to the wall instead of it being a hand held shower head.

We had a lovely stay at Thirlmere number 10.

The chalet was lovely and clean, and it has all the utensils you need for cooking. The lodge is in a perfect spot for the entertainment complex, and the lakeside. Thank you for having us.

We had a wonderful week in this beautiful lodge .

Everything was very clean and the little extras left for us were very appreciated. The location was perfect for our family of 3 and our 2 dogs . We wouldn’t hesitate to book it again . Indeed we hope that we can .

Would definitely recommend 10 Thirlmere.

Very clean and fresh. With lots of little extra's we weren't expecting. 10/10

The property is in a crowded holiday park site with below average facilties.

The accommodation was nice, but we just expected more. The lake area looked tired like the rest if the site.

Second time we’ve stayed and was just as good as the first got every thing you need for a wonderful stay

Beautiful lodge on a lovely site.

Will definitely book again.

Super lodge just the location between 2 car access roads created some disturbance but not to spoil our visit.

Excellent stay

Please refer to email sent directly to holiday park - the accommodation was absolutely brilliant, a credit to the owners and very comfortable.

Everything we needed for the week and more was available., very clean and in top quality condition. The site was staffed with incompetent “teenagers” that could not or did not want to help. - shop was so poor and badly staffed we purchased all daily essentials from shell garage locally. Shop had no stock of milk or bread and staff standard answer to “when will you have some in”was “don’t know!!” Bins were absolutely heaving with detritus spilling out onto roadway overnight every night, (rat heaven) and wooden fencing around the bins was splintered and damaged - dangerous condition. Contractors on site did not adhere to speed limit on site especially 32 tonne lorries and large transit size vans, which arrived each day around 07:45! - an accident waiting to happen. Lots of dogs on site which is great……. Try emptying the waste bin adjacent to the lake more than once a week….. absolutely heaving with excrement all week from when we arrived and the smell was delightful in the heat of summer especially in an area where families gather. - finally emptied (as it was overflowing) on the Friday. Roadway (one way system) was blocked by contractors vehicles three times during our stay and we were forced to reverse against the incoming park traffic at the entrance against the one way system. Also the entrance barriers blocked on one side (two way road) all week by tractor and two mobile homes forcing incoming and outgoing traffic head to head through barriers. Not managed by the park. Safety of guests seems to be quite an afterthought. Accuracy, cleanliness, comfort ,facilities/maintenance stars and how likely are you to recommend refers only to the holiday home NOT the park in general as standards are a world apart. Please do publish this but I suspect you will not!! Thankfully we went out daily and got away from these issues. Please do feel free to call me to discuss any of the above issues. I’m sure with my health and safety background I could offer some quick fixes!!

Lovely place , spotlessly clean , really comfortable bed had an excellent stay

We had a great stay at 10 Thirlmere White Cross Bay.

The property was excellent and very clean and would highly recommend it.

Really nice place, everything you need, and the dogs loved it ,would definitely stay again

Nice lodge located in a great area of the park near both the marina and the reception.

Well equipped kitchen with plates, cutlery etc. Very well kept and nice interior perfect for a small family and dog. Like previous reviews would recommend taking a fan if weather is hot as you get sun for most the day and evening which makes the lodge very warm at times. But this is not fault of the owner. Definitely recommended for future stays

Beautiful lodge in a stunning area, the patio is a perfect place for all day sun but the heat in the living room on an evening was unbearable on a sunny day, so would recommend bringing a fan with you, also Wi-Fi was very hit and miss, but neither of these are the owners fault.

Everything was clean and comfortable and a nice touch being left sugar, tea and coffee. Will definitely come back!

Holiday was wonderful.

Well equipped.cabin. great location. Patio furniture was exchanged quickly. Can't wait to return next year. Thank you

Lovely cosy lodge.

Well equipped and tastefully decorated. The kitchen is quite small but we managed fine for a family of 4. Great location in the park and the decking is a lovely little sun trap on a nice day

The property is ideally located within beautiful surroundings, felt very homely and nice comfortable living room to just chill in if you feel like having a lazy day when it’s a rainy one!

The only SLIGHTLY negative feedback would be that some of the plates and kitchen items/ underneath the chopping board weren’t clean and still had food or food stains that hadn’t been washed off properly from previous stays. The shower head also came loose and hit me on the head while I was showering but this is nobody’s fault just a bit of general wear and tear that needs fixing. Will definitely be back again and would like to think we will use the property on a regular basis in the future especially in the summer months! Came for a few days for our honeymoon as we got married in the lakes in the days previously and was just what we were looking for! Dog friendly; the dogs were worn out from all the beautiful walks! Over all a really lovely stay thank you!

sorry but the double bed was a bit too firm for us and found it difficult to sleep.

The lodge was first class other wise. I had some problems with my phone security and someone tried to use my card details luckly my bank stopped it

Lovely lodge very clean definitely would return.

Really enjoyed are stay ,cosy ,clean,would stay there again

The lodge was exactly as described we had a lovely stay.

Communication throughout was impeccable

Although the park was nice, and the grounds well cared for.

We had problems connecting onto the internet. Wi-Fi was non existent, and that was the main reason I booked that cabin, as it stated good Wi-Fi connection. I contacted sykes cottages, but the problem was not rectified, which was very annoying, as it was a working holiday. We left a day early as it was impossible send emails

Lovely lodge in perfect location.

Very clean and comfortable with large outdoor space. To make it perfectca hot tub would be the finishing touch.

Great Holiday in Windermere.

The lodge was clean and fresh and exactly as described in the listing. The park was better than expected and close to all the lakeside activities.

The property was perfect and in a great location - the whole family loved their stay!

Superb property.

We were really impressed when we arrived. Very clean and homely. Everything there you need to make your stay easier. We didn’t use the pool facilities but we went to the bar/restaurant. There’s a little shop on site too so that’s always handy. Shops not far away if you need led a higher shop/more choice. Highly recommend. The location is just perfect and lots to do so would love to come back. Sykes were amazing to book through as well. Really helpful customer service

The lodge was clean and comfortable

Me and my partner had a lovely Christmas week in this beautiful amazing log cabin.

We hope to come back one day

We loved the lodge was well equipped in a good location definitely recommended it's families and friends

Loved every minute of it the location was great for exploring, the lodge was cosy and comfortable and had everything in it , it was home from home the site was very clean and everyone was so friendly definatly go back

We had no complaints about the lodge, which was comfortable, clean and well equipped.

The caravan park appeared to be well managed and although busy, it was not noisy. A good position between Windermere and Ambleside.

We had a wonderful stay in this peaceful quiet lodge, it more than met our expectations.

The lodge was well maintained and clean. The site facilities were excellent and the staff friendly and helpful. I would recommend staying at this lodge and hope to do so ourselves in the future.

Lovely lodge, excellent location for the surrounding areas.

Also very good location on site, close to any amenities you may require

Listing stated Sky tv(standard package), this was not the case, suggest this is changed.

Listing stated parking for 2 cars, this could be achieved dependant on where the neighbouring cavavan occupants parked. Listed as sleeps 4, which it does have beds for 4, however only suited to 2 adults & 2 kids, not 4 adults. Location on Windermere Lake was disappointing, as most of the bay was locked off from use by the boats moored on the jetties.

another great holiday staying @ this lodge 10 Thirlmere, only downfall was the weather but we still got to do what we wanted despite getting wet

The Lodge was very nice, very comfortable and well equipped.

The quality of the furniture and fittings is of a high standard. The Lodge is handily situated on the site , easy to locate and is well positioned to capture the sun for best part of the day. We enjoyed visiting the local areas of Ambleside, Grasmere and Windermere all within a short distance of the Lodge. One general comment regarding our recent holidays is the fact owners leave only the bare minimum of things like washing up liquid, kitchen rolls and toilet rolls. It’s not a complaint as such but we have had to purchase our own supplies to see us through our recent holidays. Maybe it’s a point that can be brought to someone’s attention.

Lovely clean cabin.

Everything there you could ask for. Nice site. Restaurant and bar operating and fine. Proximity to Brockhole was a bonus as could walk there and play on playground, play mini golf etc. Worth a ride to The Mortal Man if you want a nice pub with lovely food.

PERFECT

We had a fantastic time the location great definitely recommend the lodge my little schnauzer enjoyed we booked it for next year

Beautiful surroundings, excellent amenities, clean and excellent size of lodge, every where we went was extremely dog friendly, we will definitely go back to the lakes.

The site was immaculate and staff very helpful.

The accommodation was clean, well presented and comfortable

The complex shop has very limited opening hours.

Arrived at 6pm to find it was shut. Went to shop to buy milk at 8am next day, found not open until 9am. Opening hours 9 till 5pm.

A beautiful clean and well equipped Lodge.

Fantastic, I would highly recommend it.

Beautiful lodge in an ideal setting for exploring the Lake District.

Loved our stay at the Lodge with our 2 dogs, spotlessly clean on arrival , excellent location on the park , everything you need for a stay .

Short drive to either Windermere or Bowness. Lots to do in the surrounding area but I love the Lakes so may be biased . Would definitely book again 10/10

lodge was very clean and comfy.

Beds were comfy too.Although we took our own essentials, a basic welcome pack would be useful.

Nice lodge in a holiday park right on lake Windermere, location wise was perfect for getting about the Lakes and the facilities on the park were useful in entertaining a 5 year old during downtime.

Lacked a few basics like hand-soap and a hair dryer but these are not mentioned in the description so can't complain just remember to bring your own if going. Also a handy tip is to book your swimming session a day in advance otherwise you have to rely on someone not turning up to get in the pool.

It was very clean, warm and homey.

Will definitely be returning to white cross bay!

I really couldn't find many reviews about the wifi other than this lodge was situated next to a wifi antenna.

The wifi for us was pretty bad. We had lots of clouds and rain so not sure if that contributed to the poor wifi signal. I brought along an Amazon stick but there was no way you could watch a film. YouTube also was very poor. Most people don't need wifi when in the Lake District which is fine, but we needed it for my son who has specific needs.

The holiday home we stayed in was lovely and was a great base for our walks around the Lake District, particularly Windermere and Coniston.

My only gripe is with the service at the main lodge within White Cross Bay. There were often queues of 15-20 people waiting to order food and drinks but the staff never reacted to meet the demand and instead seem to continue with just 2 people serving at the bar, which was annoying to say the least.

Cosy lodge and well-equipped.

Although we managed ok, it was a little squashed for 3 adults, a teenager and a dog! Living space fine but 2nd bedroom cramped. We would use the lodge again, but just not with as many of us at the one time.

Although this was a pet-friendly property, we don't have a dog and there were a rather alarming amount of long black pet hairs everywhere, behind doors, beneath wardrobe etc.

and we couldn't seem to avoid them. This will put us off choosing a pet-friendly property again, even if it's the only thing available. On the plus side, this was a fantastic location to explore the Lake District and the lodge was very well equipped to serve as a self-catering property. The boys enjoyed Treetop Nets at Brockhole and we all enjoyed the Lakeside Aquarium, Lakeland Motor Museum and the local towns of Grasmere, Ambleside and Keswick are great for shopping. The Sykes App is very good and I liked the countdown to our holiday. I also used the "nearby" to research places to visit whilst we were there.

Perfect weekend away.

Lodge had everything we needed and more. Location is brilliant and if you want to stay on the site there is enough to keep the kids entertained. Our golden retriever loved sitting on the balconey watching the world go by in the evenings. Would stay here again.
