    “We had a lovely stay at 5 Waterside Wood.”

    The lodge was much more spacious than I expected and there was plenty of room for 4 adults and 1 toddler. The beds were comfy and there was enough space (just) in the twin room to fit a travel cot. The kitchen was well equipped and bathrooms good. The lodge is in a great location both within the holiday park itself and the park is only a short drive to Ambleside and Bowness.

    The lodge was much more spacious than I expected and there was plenty of room for 4 adults and 1 toddler. The beds were comfy and there was enough space (just) in the twin room to fit a travel cot. The kitchen was well equipped and bathrooms good. The lodge is in a great location both within the holiday park itself and the park is only a short drive to Ambleside and Bowness. The only issues we had were that the hot water stopped working one evening, however my husband was able to fix it, and on arrival at 3pm, the cleaner was still there as there seemed to be a miscommunication about check in time. These issues didn’t massively impact our stay and we would be happy to return.

    Hi Amy, I’m so sorry that you had an issue with the hot water and the Lodge not being ready for you at 3 pm. Our old boiler packed up around Christmas time last year and we had a new one fitted in January. I’m really glad your husband managed to fix the issue. I have had it checked over by both the maintenance team and also the guy who fitted the boiler and I’m assured it’s now working to full capacity. Thank you very much for the kind review and I’m really glad you enjoyed your stay. We would love to host you again. Property Owner
