“A beautiful lodge in the trees.”

Glimpses of the lake too. Everything was spotlessly clean. Everything from the bedding to the crockery, glasses, etc. was high spec. Very homely with nice pictures, ornaments, soft furnishings, etc. We will stay again definitely. Highly recommended.

“My family arrived for a 2 night stay and were so impressed with the property - everything was spotless, light and airy with a well equipped kitchen, sky tv(not that we needed it) games cupboard and even a welcome pack.”

The location was amazing, secluded in the greenery of the trees but a lovely view of Lake Windermere beyond. Just a short walk into the bustle of Bowness - an amazing stay - will book this lodge again!!

- Maria, August 2024

Thanks for getting back to us with such positive feedback. We really value you taking the time to let us know about your stay. Hope we can welcome you again soon. Property Owner

“Outstanding accommodation!”

We travelled as a family of 5; 2 adults and 3 children (5 year old and 2 year old twins) this was a very last minute booking, much to my horror, as in booked it Friday morning and set off an hour later! Turned out to be one of the best weekends away we’ve had! I’m very fussy with cleanliness, this exceeded my expectations I usually ship the husband out with the kids for an hour to unpack and fully clean the place when we go away but we were able to unpack and get straight out!! We didn’t take travel cots but we put the mattress from the top bunk on the floor and the twins were able to sleep on there, our eldest had one of the other rooms to himself. The lodge is immaculate with a very well thought out floor plan. We didn’t use the outside space but the view was lovely, can imagine it would be perfect on a summer night with a glass of wine! Plenty on outdoor furniture and the decking area was big enough for a large family to enjoy or eat outside. I’d seen a couple of people had mentioned that the living room furniture wasn’t very comfortable, I do get it, and on a personal preference I’d would have a more ‘lounge-y’ sofa but it was plenty comfortable for the evenings when watching the Tv and relaxing so not really an issue for us! The WiFi wasn’t great but we used our personal hotspots on our mobiles and had no problems. We didn’t use the sky Tv so I can’t comment on that but Netflix and the general Tv channels were fine for our stay. We absolutely loved our stay here and the location was just perfect, we’ve been looking for our next stay!, hopefully it won’t be too long until we can return!

The lodge itself was so comfortable and clean with everything you could wish for and the outside decking area and views were fantastic. The location was great both on the park and for the distance into Bowness. We can't wait to stay again.

Derek September 2023

“The lodge was excellent, the only comment is that one morning there was no water, we had to contact the maintenance team.”

It turns out there is a safety cut off switch in the lodge, which had to be re_set. Could you please put a note in the Lodge instructions 'What to do it there is no water to the Lodge' this would of been very helpful , and would of saved a lot of hassle. However this will not deter is from returning.

Jan January 2023

“Windermere Lodge is nice enough but not what I would describe as a luxurious lodge by any means.”

The sofa and upright side chairs are very stylish but extremely uncomfortable and not welcomed after a long day walking/hiking. Thick dust in the bedrooms which has obviously been there for some time (I have photos) The plastic green covering that had been placed over the units in the master bedroom are split on some of the drawers and lifting on headboard with visible glue where a repair had been attempted and edging of bedside units also lifting it was all very unsightly and not luxurious at all (I have photos). The duvet was stained. The fridge door needs attention as it has dropped. There were no empty kitchen cupboards In which to store food. I cleaned three of the bifold door windows which were very dirty so I could enjoy the view of the lake. I booked this lodge as it had such great reviews and is described in your details as luxurious but in my opinion it was definitely not worth the money I paid. I have stayed at Falbarrow many times and rented much better lodges for a lot less money. Falbarrow is a beautiful holiday park, we had a fantastic break and I will definitely go back there but I would not go back to this lodge. Extremely disappointed.

- Jan, January 2023

I am sorry to hear of your comments on your recent stay in Windermere Lodge. It is rare to have negative feedback but we do take your comments on board and all issues have been passed to our management company who are already addressing the issues you raised. As the advertising and photos shows the lodge is decorated and furnished in a contemporary style with high end furniture and has been generally well received by guests. The kitchen units are modern and stylish and well equipped - there are cupboards for food storage as well as glassware and dinnerware so I am sorry that these were not enough for your stay. We want all our guests to enjoy the lodge and have a comfortable stay therefore we are pleased to hear you had a fantastic break and hope that the issues you raised did not detract too much from your stay.

“We really enjoyed our stay at Windermere Lodge.”

The location is great just a few mins from Bowness and the facilities were great (the park had a children's play area, cafe and shop and it was only a short walk to the lakeside) The lodge was fantastic - modern with nice furniture, we have young children so spent quite a bit of time in on an evening, the DVDs (There are Beatrix Potter ones which we watched after visiting the museum.) The outdoor furniture and BBQ were great too. Would definitely recommend. Thanks again.

Ahmad August 2022

“We enjoyed our first stay in Windermere lodge and would definately book again.”

The lodge was clean in all the main areas bathroom, kitchen and bedrooms etc but not sure how often they have a deep clean. Around the edges of the windows and the venitian blinds were quite dusty and down the sides of the chairs had not been hovered/cleaned. Would be interestred to know if this is something that is done weekly or not. It did not detract from our stay as the lodge met all our needs and was comfortable.

- Ahmad, August 2022

Thanks for writing to say you enjoyed your stay in Windermere Lodge. We appreciate your comments and will forward the issues you raised with our cleaning team to ensure those areas are addressed. A high standard of cleanliness is very important to us. We look forward to welcoming you again for another stay in the future Property Owner
Janis May 2022

“My Husband and I had a lovely stay at Windermere Lodge.”

The Lodge was very modern, clean and comfortable. The Bedrooms were all a good size and had plenty of wardrobe space. Beds were also a good size and very comfortable. The under floor heating in the bathroom was a real treat, so nice!! A well equipped kitchen had everything we needed and more. The on site Willow Bar / Restaurant served excellent food and all the staff there were very friendly and helpful. The Deli shop was handy for a few groceries and a nice stop off for a coffee after walking back from Bowness. We had a nice relaxing week here which was well needed. Thank You !!

Paula February 2022

“Lodge was beautiful.”

However, the front door wouldn’t lock on a couple of occasions. It has clearly been fixed previously but think it needs a new lock! Sofa in living room very uncomfortable. Shame as otherwise our stay was fine.

- Paula, February 2022
Mark January 2022

Archie September 2021

“Everything in the lodge was exceptionally clean & of a very high standard .”

Only problem we had was with the bbq . The top part looked quite clean but when we started to use it , we then realised it had never been cleaned underneath . There was so much fat all lying in it which had burned & caused flames to shoot up whenever we lit it . We had to thoroughly scrub it to try to get it clean . We left it as spotless as was possible . This was really disappointing .

- Archie, September 2021
Tina July 2021
