Michael April 2023

“1, En,suite shower has water drainage problems 2, wet room door locks from outside it's a struggle to get back in.”

3, No internet connection to smart TV 4, I notice a lot of cobwebs around holiday cottage I could of done with a Vacuum cleaner but none inside holiday cottage (not good at all) 5, A lot of noise from construction workers on site (please notify us if you have construction work carrying out) 6, site speed not kept mainly construction workers. 7, one of the windows nett curtain was missing 8, unable to use the wardrobe to its potential it was occupied with a spare chair, pillow, clothes rack.iron board. 9, if I was going to change anything to holiday cottage it would be a hot tub installed on the side of decking

- Michael, April 2023

Thank you for your comments. Since your stay, we have added a document into the lodge binder which will help address the internet connection issue. In regard to the comments made about the maintenance and housekeeping of the lodge, had you made us aware of the issues during your stay, the team would have attended to try and resolve them. Furthermore, the feedback will be passed on to the teams to ensure that our high standards continue to be met. Lake District Lodge Holidays and White Cross Bay Park are separate companies. White Cross Bay is an operational holiday park, and stated on the listing, maintenance is carried out at the park. This is outside of our control, and we were not made aware of any work going on during your stay, however had we been aware, we would have of course, let you know. We will pass on your words. Glenridding Lodge is not advertised as with a hot tub. We find that many of our guests who have stayed at Glenridding have thoroughly enjoyed their stay. Property Owner
James February 2023

“On arrival had to ask for Water supply to be turned on !”

No shower head in on suite? Cooking facilities. Chopping board moulded. Decking area dirty. Good notes. Lovely lodge and location. Thumbs-up from me. Just need better house keeping.

- James, February 2023

Hi James, Thanks for taking time out to provide this feedback, I'm very sorry that on this occasion we didn't meet our usual standards. You were indeed our first guest since the park reopened and is standard, the water is turned off during the closure period and fully drained down. We've recently changed providers for this - and also our housekeeping provider - so unfortunately you've just experienced us getting fully re-established ready for the new season. It sounds like you enjoyed the lodge and location and I'm very confident you'll enjoy our usual high quality customer experience if you'd like to give us another go. As a gesture of goodwill we have kept a note of your booking reference and assigned a £50 credit towards your next booking with us. Thanks once again for highlighting these issues and also for the more positive part of your review, we do hope to see you again. Gary (Owner) Property Owner
Amanda November 2022

“Had a lovely break at Glenridding Lodge, we were very lucky with the weather at this time of year.”

Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are so pleased you had a lovely stay and look forward to welcoming you back soon. Property Owner
Pete August 2022

“We had a great week at the lodge, which was very nice and comfortable with all facilities provided.”

The only minor issue we had was the shower head seemed loose in the en suite which didn’t work properly, which wasn’t a problem as we used the main bathroom. Also builders working on the lodge next door all week parking vans and diggers right outside the front of our balcony blocking all views ! Plus on 2 occasions they left nails from a nail gun on the gravel in front of my car which I had to move to save my tires ! and blocked me in ! Obviously that’s not bad feedback on the lodge or owner but probably more of a site maintenance issue. All in all we had a good holiday and my 2 children enjoyed it.

- Pete, August 2022

Hi Pete, thanks for your kind feedback it's much appreciated! I'm sorry to hear about the disruption you faced during your stay, this was due to a new lodge next door and all work was completed shortly after your visit. Thanks also for letting us know about the showerhead, we replaced that immediately as a result so you should find everything in good working order if you decide to stay with us again. Once again thanks for your kind review and glad your children enjoyed it too. Gary Property Owner
David July 2022

“Our booking was rather last minute and this was one of a small number of properties that I considered at White Cross Bay.”

I'm very happy that I chose this one. It has pretty much everything that one could need for a comfortable stay and in general, the location itself was very quiet and relaxed. It's also very easy to find on what can be a bit of a challenging layout. I would certainly recommend it.

- David, July 2022
Christine June 2022

“Very clean luxury cabin, beds really comfortable as was living area and kitchen.”

Stayed here with my 2 teenagers for a much needed weekend break. Was very good area for sightseeing would definitely return

- Christine, June 2022
Robyn May 2022

“The WiFi was not working- that was the only issue.”

Everything else was perfect

- Robyn, May 2022
Ann April 2022

“We found Glenridding lodge to be well equipped and in good clean order, with a large decking area for outdoor eating etc.”

However, the siting of the lodge and location was disappointing. The views were very limited and simply looking out at other wooden lodges. White Cross Bay is probably better suited to young family holidays, unless the plot is nearer the lake with Lakeland views. Our group of four adults, decided we wouldn’t stay again.

- Ann, April 2022
Daniel April 2022

“The wi-fi didn't work.”

Apart from that, the lodge was great in a nice location.

- Daniel, April 2022

Thank you for your feedback Daniel and kind words about the lodge and location. The WIFI is unfortunately down across the park for most lodges at the moment and we have been working with Parkdean and Lake District Lodge Holidays on both temporary and permanent solutions. I hope you will try us again when hopefully we'll have it sorted for you. Thanks once again for choosing to stay with us. Property Owner
Jenny September 2021

A beautiful lodge with all you needed and great location a bus stop right outside the holiday park meant it was so easy to get around would definitely stay here again

- Jenny, September 2021
Valerie September 2021

“We only found half a toilet roll in each bathroom so take your own supply.”

It was well equipped and reasonably clean. Under settees and beds left a lot to be desired. The wardrobe door was hanging off in main bedroom but on the whole we had a good time and enjoyed it. It is set in lovely surroundings. There was plenty of crockery and cutlery etc. The fridge was very big which was good. Good value for money for 4 people.

- Valerie, September 2021

Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry to hear you experienced some issues on arrival. Had this been brought to our attention on arrival, we would have been happy to arrange the return of the managed service team to address these for you. We are pleased to read did not impact your stay and you found the lodge value for money. We look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

Miss Katie Slater Sep 2019

“We had a very nice weekend break, the weather on the Saturday amazing.”

The lodge was gorgeous and could tell it was newly done. Well equipped although we were expecting little touches such as sachets of coffee/sugar, some salt maybe. From past experiences those things are normally provided. Having a television in the en suite bedroom was a nice touch. There was a box of Krispy Kreme donuts on top of the kitchen units that had been left with 2 in, not sure how long they had been there for, the cleaner must of missed them? Overall a very nice lodge and we would love to stay again. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Day out to Ambleside What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Rydal caves
