Grizedale Lodge

Nicely furnished internally, with great kitchen facilities.

Some of the Mattresses could be replaced as thin and the double I was informed was lumpy. There was only one bath towel and 3 hair towels and 4 hand towels. We felt rationed with loo roll (2) for 4 adults over 4 days seemed unreasonable. There is no where to hang towels/ clothes in the bathroom Or en-suite and no shelving/trays for shower gel/ shampoo which was not ideal. Positively it was warm, and a nice welcome pack.

Position of the lodge was great.

Easy to locate on the site, arrived earlier than 3pm expected time. First impressions were good. Nice size, good outdoor space, loads of towels and the wine, chocolates, tea, coffee, sugar, milk, doggie treats were a lovely touch. However both settees were badly stained, the floor was unhoovered and dirty, behind one of the settees was a large dust ball, skirtings had not been cleaned/wiped, worktops not wiped down, handprints on the windows, which all in all let the accomadation down. It looks tired and in need of painting especially in the hallway.

We loved our time at Grizedale lodge and didn’t want to leave!

Spotlessly clean, gorgeous welcome basket from host which even included treats for our dog, perfect location, comfy beds. The welcome book was very useful too and we had some great days out following the tips from this book. Would definitely return. Thank you

Lovely lodge, has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Had no issues at all with our time there. The welcome pack of wine, chocolates and dog treats were very much appreciated. The weather was on our side so was able to make use of the decking and sitting out in the sun after a day of walking out and about. Would definitely return. Only issue I had was the communication from Sykes as it is almost impossible to get through to anyone. Even on Whatsapp it takes them days to respond to you. This however does not reflect on the lodge itself. I personally would not book through Sykes again due to that issue.

This is our second stay at Grizedale Lodge.

Excellent location, clean, everything you need and the Welcome Pack is a nice touch.

What a great lodge, very spacious great location on the site too

Lovely lodge; only potential improvements would be some more glass wine glasses a washing machine and the beds had a lot of toppers on them to make them more comfortable and I think for kids that’s probably fine but for 6 adults the smaller beds were a little uncomfortable.

The lodge was lovely and very clean, comfortable and reasonably well equipped.

The heating worked perfectly and the lighting was good. Problems: The main problem was the water pressure. It was that bad we were unable to take a shower. My granddaughter attempted a shower but had to give up as she could not wet her (long) hair enough to wash it never mind rinse it. There wasn't really any other problems just little niggles - not being able to reach to strings to change the open and close the blinds even after kneeling on the bed. I am under 5 foot. The roots of the tree in the parking space, the poo that covered the back of the car and the lack of hard standing. One side was okay but the other side was very muddy. A washing machine would have been good due to the wet weather and the mud but I understand why there wasn't one. Other than the above and the rain we really enjoyed our stay there and would use it again.

Overall very good , a few things broken, blinds ?

Maybe be a how to book on tv / cooker / microwave

We have been staying in White Cross Bay lodges for many years and Grizedale Lodge was the best yet!

It was sparklingly clean, warm and welcoming, with a lot of of lovely, festive touches for our weekend Christmas getaway.

Grizedale lodge has everything you need for a comfortable stay, the welcome basket was a lovely touch, thank you.

The only down side we found was that we had to shower before 7.30am or in the late afternoon as the water pressure in both showers drops dramatically, to a slow drip when most people would shower. This isn’t the owners fault, as the park has grown over the years nothing has been done to increase water pressure to accommodate all the lodges. The lodge is in a beautiful location, with lots of places to visit, we would love to return.

We had a wonderful stay at the Grizedale lodge in White Cross Bay.

The location is perfect — nestled among beautiful trees and just a short walk from Lake Windermere. The lodge itself was spotless, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing break. We left feeling refreshed and can’t wait to come back!

Great lodge in lovely position close to all the park’s amenities.

Lodge had everything you could want and spacious even with 6 adults and a dog. Would definitely recommend Grizedale lodge and will back in the future.

We love the location of White Cross Bay also the bus route from the road is very convenient .

The club bar and restaurant are expensive the lodge is lovely but could do with some deep cleaning. Thankyou very much for the welcome tray goodies that was lovely and thoughtful

Property was ideal for our family break in the Lakes.

(6 of us plus dog) Very clean, comfortable and very well appointed. Welcome pack was a nice extra on arrival too One small practical point. Bathrooms could do with some hooks to hang towels on!! Also, we were running out of toilet roll and had to buy more whilst out in Windermere. Don't think you needed to skimp on toilet roll essentials in a lovely accommodation? We would definitely book again, as all the family loved it.

Lovely lodge just a shame how people abuse it.

There are stains everywhere carpets, walls even on the lovely rabbit stools. Another problem we had was with the water supply every single morning come 9 o'clock the water would go off we went to the office and they said it was because everyone was using it at the same time but to be honest we have been on this site many times and never had a problem. Nice welcome pack was there when we arrived thank you for that it was much appreciated.

Lovely break with wife, daughters, grand children and a pug.

Indoor pool/sauna/steam excellent, didn’t use the gym. Food not the best but mainly good, prices similar to outside restaurants and dog admitted there. Kids a bit old for kids club but it looked alright, we didn’t go to the shows. Lodge great for all and site well maintained. Accessed Lake from on site ramp for kayaking and paddle boarding. Handy location for boat trips and self drive hire in Bowness, but need to drive there and parking expensive. Lodge really nice for all with two bathrooms. Quiet during night hours.

We had a lovely stay a Grizdale Lodge the living area was very bright and spacious all the home comforts that you may need would definitely stay here again.

Fabulous comfortable and well equipped lodge catered for every need even the dogs .

Brilliant location to relax and unwind fabulous holiday .

We have stayed here before back in 2021 , we love this lodge and hope to come back next year.

There was a few things that needed looking at which are very small problems- the outside light does not work and the toilet seat is a little wobbly when you sit on it apart from that it’s 10/10 and would definitely come back and we would recommend to friends and family.

Fabulous Xmas break staying in Grizedale Lodge, loved the festive touches & the treats were much appreciated.

Warm cosy & comfortable stay. Everything was in excellent order. We have been spending Xmas at White cross bay for last 5-6 years and this has been our favourite lodge. No hot tub but we just gate crashed our daughters who was staying in lodge in same cul-de-sac. Nice and quiet location so all slept well. ps the doggos enjoyed their treats too

Gorgeous lodge.

Really well equipped and had everything we needed. Some lovely little touches when we arrived, bottle of wine, sweets, teabags and coffee and milk in the fridge and some breakfast cereal.Even a box of chocolates in the main bedroom. Lodge was extremely comfortable and cosy. Only one tiny criticism was that the mattresses weren't very comfortable. We would definitely come back and actually wished we had booked for the week rather than the 4 days. A lovely break away ☺️

A very comfortable and clean lodge - we loved our stay here and would recommend.

This lodge was perfect for us, would definitely return.

The only constructive thing I would add is that I didn’t realise until the day before departure that we could use the Choices Health Club. Not being familiar to the area, I thought this was the pool onsite. We did use it on the last day and it was lovely

A wonderful property.

Usually when travelling with our dog (Chewy) we are not given the best of accommodation? So we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived and found our accommodation was of the highest standard.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay in the lodge.

We have stayed in many lodges on this site and this is the best one yet. So many lovely touches, like the homely decor and the bottle of wine and chocolate on arrival which was such a pleasant surprise. We could not have asked for a better stay apart from maybe some more agreeable weather. We would highly recommend this lodge to anyone and will definitely be back.

Cleanliness was not good urine on toilet back of seat, windows could do with a good clean.

Second night had to shout out of window people in hot tub at 3.30 am in the next lodge, had to leave early the hot tub in the next lodge was on and off 24 hours a day couldn’t get a full nights sleep,

Hi we have stayed at this lodge on a number of occasions,we love it's space and location, unfortunately it's beginning to look very tired carpets dirty showers getting mouldy etc,our prime complaint however was the awful bedding it was beyond bitty and very old I made a complaint to the appropriate person and bedding was changed within the hour crisp white perfect!

Please get a grip on this lodge before it gets any worse,many thanks Karen Ward.

Lodge was lovely.

Unfortunately the main bathroom shower didn't work, main bedroom bed was very uncomfortable and dampness on ceiling. This sadly left my mum with chest infection. Smoke alarms kept going off during night. Large stain on couch.

Had a great stay.

Was impressed with the lodge. Big, modern, comfortable open plan kitchen/diner/lounge. Lodge has 3 bedrooms... one double with a modern en-suite, and two twin rooms. There's also a modern family bathroom. All mod cons... kitchen has a built in hob/ oven, dishwasher and large fridge freezer. Great that it's dog friendly too. Would definitely recommend, and will likely return in the future.

Lovely lodge in very peaceful surroundings.

Ideal location for exploring the lakes & countryside. Short walk to Brockholes lakes visitor centre with direct jetty access to Windermere launches so no need to use the car to get to Ambleside or Bowness.

The lodge was exactly as photos stated.

Cleaned for our arrival, nice touch of wine and chocolates left (unfortunately some of the chocolate had turned white) very roomy, showers were good, dishwasher tablets provided, cleaning pack of dish cloth, rubber gloves, dish cloth etc. Great having furniture on the balcony as weather was nice. Only downside was the table in the living room, the glass corners were very sharp and 1 person drew blood when caught on the edges. Would recommend staying here. The staff on the site at Parkdean Resort were extremely helpful, could even get takeaway food from restaurant, prices very reasonable. Very enjoyable stay

We had a very enjoyable stay , the lodge was stocked with everything you needed , it was clean tidy and beautifully decorated and maintained , great location we had a great anniversary weekend with the family

A wonderful place to stay.

We went with Grandchildren and plenty for them to do on and off site. Extremely comfortable lodge just like the pictures (Would like some info on how to work appliances (oven and dishwasher))

A great place for a week away.

Could not recommend highly enough. Clean and comfy, a home away from home. A great place to spend our honeymoon!

Such a lovely lodge!

We would definitely recommend! A lovely welcome to chocolates and wine and even treats for the dogs! We would love to go back!

First night wasn’t great due to the bud pipe for the heating system.

This was fixed the next day so other than this it was perfect for our little family. Much better than a hotel. I would recommend over a hotel for a family as there is more to do and it’s more relaxing at night.

This is the second year on the run, around Christmas time we stayed at Grizedale Lodge and it didn't disappoint.

A very clean and comfortable lodge with nice Christmas decorations on display. Complimentary wine, sweets and even dog treats awaiting on our arrival. I would highly recommend this lodge to anyone looking at staying at White Cross Bay.

After staying in another lodge on this site last year we where all wowed when we walked into Grizedale Lodge, its stunning, and the wine & chocolates waiting for us was a lovely touch, there were 6 adults a 2 Yr old & 2 doggies in our party, we had plenty of room, after reading previous feedback over lack of seating, I think an extra chair has been added & a couple of stools, we loved our stay, & will defo be back .

Very nice property, comfortable and clean.

Wi-Fi /didn't work. Could have done with DVD player and/or Netflix. Had a problem with horrible smell (drains?) in ensuite bedroom. Maintenance man came promptly and made temporary fix. I left window open for entire stay and didn't have any more problems but I think a more permanent solution needs to be found. We enjoyed our stay.

The lodge was comfortable I’m just glad there were only 3 adults has to have 6 adults there wouldn’t have been enough seating in the lounge.

Also there was a smell of drains on the decking and the drainage is terrible. The toilets don’t flush properly and the sink doesn’t drain again if there had been 6 adults we couldn’t have managed!!!

Lovely beautiful modern lodge and clean .

Just too small for 6 as sofa area sits 4 and dining area too tight . It ended up with just family 4 as my eldest didn’t come which was just the right size .I love Whitecross bay been 6 times and return every year but due to size I would go back to my previous larger lodge for our family. I would recommend this lodge it is lovely but purely down to the size .

We could not fault the holiday lodge, however the club house at White Cross Bay can only be described as terrible.

The quality of the food served there is awful and the service at the bar not much better. The food store on site is very poorly stocked in my opinion. White Cross Bay is a great holiday location for messing about on the lake let down by poor club house facilities.

We have just returned from Grizedale lodge and had a great week.

We were a family of 6 adults . Loved the lodge , has everything you could possibly want . Excellent location, lovely site. A lovely touch with welcome gifts, wine chocolates etc, much appreciated. Only one down side was we are all adults and unfortunately with there only being a 3 seater sofa and a 2 Seater sofa , one of us always had to sit on a dining room chair which wasn’t comfortable while watching TV on an evening . It would be ideal for adults and children but a squash for 6 adults. Other than this it is a beautiful lodge .

Fantastic Lovely comfortable lodge , really clean and well equipped And such a lovely touch to have a bottle of wine , chocolates and even biscuits for the dog Will definitely be back

Myself my mum and my gran stayed here back in October 2021 for 1 week.

The cottage is amazing and has everything you could ask for and more. The only down side to the cottage (Shower room) was that there zero support in the cottage for anyone Old/disabled such as no support railing in the Shower room which made things difficult for my gran. But apart from that the cottage was brilliant. They even left treats for my dog Jill who loved her stay very much.

We stayed here for 3 nights in December 2021 and it was fantastic.

A very clean, comfortable and spacious lodge. Nicely decorated for Christmas. On arrival there was complementary Wine, After Eights and Freddo Chocolates. I would highly recommend this lodge to anyone who is looking for a break/ holiday.

We had such a lovely stay - was absolutely a home from home!

We will definitely look out for this lodge when booking again as we regularly stay at Whitecross bay

Great Lodge spotlessly clean nice welcome pack only negative a humming sound on a night possibly from someone's hot tub permeated the lodge making the main bedroom difficult to sleep in

We had such a lovely holiday in the lakes the Grizdale lodge is very modern and clean and spacious.

The location on Lansdale is so nice quiet with lots of trees. My little dog and I loved the early morning walk down to the marina seeing the ducks and geese it was so peaceful and the food was very nice in the restaurant and perfect that we could bring our dog in too, we are really looking get coming back next year, thank you .

Lovely lodge, clean, modern, only thing for us there was no tv in bedroom which I’m used to, apart from that the lodge was lovely, the restaurant on site was however not up to scratch, it didn’t have much choice on occasions as ran out of stuff .

I had missed that there was no washing machine on the listing, which was a pain on a family walking holiday in damp weather!

Neighbour’s lodges have hot tubs and we experienced noise very late at night from other residents not adhering to the rules.

Lovely modern lodge in a good location within the park.

Wine and chocolates on arrival was a nice surprise too

WiFi was off more than it was on.

Beds are very small. Beautifully decorated and perfect location easily accessible, excellent bus services on the door step. Great club house, although they had supply issues during our stay so there was limited choice for food on an evening.

Very nice and comfortable lodge.

Most things in almost new condition. The only thing letting it down is the dreadful internet connectivity. Neither the park WiFi nor the one provided within the lodge were good enough to even support basic browsing which was quite frustrating.
