Hill Top Lodge

We have been visiting Hill Top Lodge for a number of years now, we love the location of the Lodge.

It's always nice to know you're going to arrive and everything is going to be perfect. Looking forward to returning in September when we will have a mum travelling with us.

We’ve been staying at white cross bay since 2016 and at the same lodge (our happy place) until 2023 but unfortunately the lodge we loved so much ceased being a holiday let in 2024.

So last year we stayed at a different lodge at white cross bay but that wasn’t quite for us. Then we search and found hill top which on paper sounded just what we wanted for our mid week break (secluded hot tub, clean and homely) and it lived up to the write up. So hopefully this will be our future forever lodge at white cross bay. Thanks Mikes

The lodge was very well equipped.

The beds were very comfortable. Good wifi was a bonus. A lodge with a hot tub was the best choice we made. We found the park very quiet and the location was excellent. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Beautiful Lodge, very comfortable, hot tub fantastic, loved the welcoming extras (tea, coffee milk).

Ideally situated on the site. Will definitely book to return.

Very comfortable, bright, welcoming accommodation.

Just a battery required for the clock!

Another fantastic week in our happy place.

Hill Top was immaculately clean on arrival (as always) equip with everything we could need. Thank you so much for the wine and chocolate on arrival, so kind of you x See you next year (we’ve already booked ha ha) X

Really enjoyed our stay, lovely comfortable lodge.

Would love to stay again. Hot tub great too. Thank you!

Over all the lodge was good, comfortable and clean Hot tub good Main problem was the internet connection it affected the tv reception couldn’t get the main channels

Another fantastic week at our favourite lodge.

Immaculately clean on arrival as always. Equip with everything we could possible need and the most comfortable beds. The hot tub was fantastic and maintained every morning. See you at the end of August and we have already booked for next year. Thank you x

Really nice lodge and well looked after, hot tub was really nice, I would definitely book again.

Absolutely beautiful lodge.

Will definitely book up again. My mam, dad and brother stayed in the lodge whilst I stayed in another with my family. And they absolutely loved it.

This was our third year at Hill Top as we love it so much, unfortunately the boiler decided to play up, a phone call to Kate from Property Maintenance who was absolutely brilliant and she did her utmost to sort things.

Reluctantly we had to make a decision to cut our holiday short due to time scale on getting the part for the boiler, however, Kate and the owners have gone above and beyond for us with regards to compensating us for the inconvenience and disruption to our holiday. Needless to say we have just rebooked for next year and can't wait!!

Fantastic lodge with everything you need and more!

Cozy and comfortable. Hot tub is an amazing bonus. We will definitely be back!

First class property.

Will definitely be back.

We had a wonderful Easter holiday,thankyou to the owners for the beautifully presented and equipped lodge and for the special treats on arrival,so kind.

The weather was amazing so we were able to have full days out and about exploring the local areas and the hot tub here is just perfect too. We thoroughly enjoyed our week here,we loved the walks to Brockhole in the evening too. Thankyou, Kind Regards, Barry, Janet and Erin Browning

A brilliant lodge, very comfortable & clean, hot tub was great.

Would definitely recommend this lodge, central location. Andria

Many thanks for a wonderful break away in your beautifully clean and well equipped lodge.

We have stayed in many places and I must say it’s rare to arrive and see exactly what you see on the advertised photos. It was a real home from home, everything we needed and more. Lovely and warm, comfortable seating and beds! The lodge is perfectly placed to enjoy the local area whether you stay close or go further afield. We thoroughly enjoyed Windermere , so much to see and do. Amazing shops and beautiful coffee shops with lovely food and friendly people. Recommend taking a boat trip. Ambleside and Grassmere are wonderful to visit and so much on offer. The scenery is a delight and theres walks aplenty! The apple pie bakery must be a stop off in Ambleside you won’t be disappointed despite the long queue to wait for a table. Make the most of the hot tub especially looking up to the unspoilt sky after a day of walking. The on site facilities are tired and in need of a refurb - especially the bar/restaurant which wasn’t somewhere we would return however that said you have so many lovely places on the doorstep to eat out in, it’s not a deal breaker! We will certainly recommend this gem to our friends and family.

Very nice property clean and the hot tub was great.

Had a great 4 days . We will be back

Fantastic lodge,beautifully updated with extra little touches making our time there even more special.

Thankyou to the owners,we had an amazing week exploring the local areas,this is a perfect base and we have booked to return next Easter time. We are looking forward to it already.

What a fantastic, well equip, immaculate lodge!

Absolutely spotless! This lodge was lacking nothing. So comfortable and homely. We loved it so much we have booked two weeks next year and can’t wait for our second week this summer. Thank you so much for an amazing stay x

The Property is well maintained, and had everything you need provided in the property, including an outside brush to sweep any debris away from the decking.

When we arrived the on-suite bathroom floor was very wet due to the main shower not turned off properly and the shower doors open, but was easily sorted. The location was very central and just caught buses around the surrounding area as the stops were just outside the entrance.

Excellent comfortable accommodation, beautiful setting and a great park with friendly,helpful staff.

Loved the hot tub.

This is our second year at Hill Top Lodge, it is situated in an ideal spot on the park, a couple of minutes walk to The Lake where you can feed the ducks.

The lodge is clean and well equipped with everything you may need. The hot tub is amazing and has been updated this year, it is maintained daily. We will be returning again soon. Thank you so much to the owners of this wonderful lodge in a gorgeous setting.

The lodge was lovely ,everything you could think you need was there , the hot tub was secluded which was brilliant for us .

we loved everything about it . Excellent location outside park there's a bus stop that will take you anywhere you want to go we used this all the time so we didn't need the car tickets good price .

Absolutely beautiful lodge.

Very spacious, great location. The hot tub was amazing. The holiday park is great, lots of amenities such as bar/restaurant, swimming pool, play area for children & on-site shop. Would highly recommend

Our holiday with family didn't work out so we booked this last minute.

It was an absolutely fabulous stay. The lodge is clean, comfortable, furnished beautifully and has many additional homely features. We felt welcome from the moment we arrived. We used the onsight facilities, the health club in troutbridge which were all great. We walked, took the boat across the lake, visited Beatrix Potter and the Aquarium. All in all we has a fabulous time. My 7 year old daughter is already begging us to rebook. Thank you so much.

We had a great week in the lodge.

It was really clean, cosy, spacious, and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. The beds were very comfortable, the hot tub was a bonus (and serviced twice a day by a company on site). We used the on site swimming pool and clubhouse a few times, and got out and about exploring the local area. All in all, it was exactly what we needed after a very busy few weeks in work. Thank you.

We arrived and was wowed by the little but big homely touches, the Christmas tree and the warmness of the lodge was lovely and the hot tub was great, we stayed all over white cross bay and up and down the lake and this is in top 10, thanks for having us and see you again soon

The lodge is spacious and very comfortable.

The efficient central heating made our week there in November really cosy. We also enjoyed our frequent escapes into the large hot tub. The lodge is ideally placed on a quiet side road yet only a short stroll from the the lakeside.

We loved our stay here!

It had everything we needed, great location and the hot tub was a lovely addition! Our only slight niggle was that the TV can’t connect to the internet so we couldn’t watch Netflix etc in the evenings which was a shame, in the end we bought a HDMI cable so we could connect our laptop to the screen instead. But other than this, the lodge was clean and extremely comfortable, we’d definitely come back!

Lovely property with the added bonus of the hotub with a great location when you have children to entertain.

Great lodge and super location just a stones throw to the lake.

The park always looks great, just wish they’d have more entertainment space and also early breakfasts.

When we arrived at the lodge the kitchen and living room were nice, clean and cosy however once we got to the bedrooms and bathrooms that was not so good.

Double bedroom had a musty smell and the en-suite bathroom had a sour drain smell and not the cleanest. The main bathroom looked tired and again not the cleanest. the double bed was very uncomfortable, 4 sleepless nights which is not good when you are away trying to relax. We have stayed at many lodges around Windermere and The Lakes and never had any problems however this lodge was disappointing, overpriced and definitely wouldn’t book to come back. There were good 2 points the small homely touches and the hot tub.

We enjoyed our stay very much.

Great place and lots of space for a family. Location is great property is away from the main road and the lake front is less than 100yards away good for water sports. Jacuzzi is a great addition to the property and helps a lot during the rainy days or after the long day walk. Lots of small personal touches throughout the property makes it look like home. Two bathrooms is also advantage. The down side is the the basin a shower waste are not working well and takes time to drain while you using it. And probably as result causing smell of dumbness and mouldiness in the en-suite bathroom that spreads to the bedroom. If this issues are resolved this property otherwise makes a great holiday retreat with great location for the Windermere and The Lakes.

Lodge was well equipped but maybe too well equipped as left little space to store food!

Listing didn’t mention a washing machine which id liked to have known about before we went. Only found airer on last day

would have scored this lodge as 4 on every aspect, however hot-tub is getting a little tired and requires new contols etc.

other wise an excellently maintained and equiped place to stay.

We had a great weekend at this lodge.

Brilliant location, lovely site and the lodge itself was lovely with everything we needed. Will hopefully be back!

Great lodge!

Clean and very well equipped with a good selection of glassware (not always the case). Outside area is lovely and private and gets the sun pretty much all day between the front and side deck. The new owners have made some updates to the decor already which was a nice surprise. Only comment would be the table and chairs next to the hot tub could do with a freshen up for eating outside, but we just used the seating out front instead. We loved it and would definitely return in the future!

The only downside of the holiday is Friday to Friday as this means for a lot of people taking an extra day of annual leave you need more flexible dates but I would recommend this holiday in an instant we all had a fantastic time ❤️

We've had a lovely stay the hot tub was incredible we loved the site and the views from the lake the couches and beds were very comfortable.

Amazing Christmas break had by all.

Fantastic surroundings, beautiful lodge, nice and cosy. Thank you for an amazing Christmas at Hill Top Lodge x

We had a great time at Hill Top Lodge.

Our auntie stayed in the one next to us. We fed the ducks by the lake and played football with each other at the football pitch. It was great I highly recommend this lodge.

Absolutely wonderful, with everything you could possibly want.

The area is outstanding with lots of lovely pubs, restaurants and things to do. Highly Recomend The Albert pub for food. Beatrix Potter Museum, Lakeland Motor Museum and The Lakes Cruises were fabulous. Hot tub was a big bonus. All in all couldn't fault anything. Thank you for a fab holiday

We have really enjoyed our stay the lodge has provided everything we needed it to.

We enjoyed a bike rife at Geizedale Forest, walks around the site, Lakeland Motor Museum, bike ride at Fell Food (short) Beatrix Potter Attraction, Lakeside Railway and Lakes Aquarium. Had a brilliant holiday overall and quality family time. Thank you

Really enjoyed this clean well equipped lodge.

Would highly recommend this one. Kids, girlfriend and I had a lovely stay
