“The lodge inside was beautiful and the decor lovely, very clean and everything you need couldn't fault it, the hot tub was great the grandchildren loved it.”

If there was anything that could be improved it would be the outside appearance, a touch of varnish and the decking was in need of a clean around the hot tub area was thick with leaves, I understand it's Autumn but a fresh look outside would benefit the property. Still had a fabulous stay, thankyou

“Once we found the cottage and settled in we had a look around my wife took a video to send to our family she only does this if she likes what she sees, I must admit it was better than I expected.”

It was clean warm and as we had a long drive we settled in with some food and a wee glass of wine. The cottage has everything u would need for Ur break I would recommend the cottage for your holiday. There's a couple of things that I would like to see improved as published before we booked the WiFi isn't great so that wasn't a surprise but it is poor took my wife and hour to send a twenty second video but as we are of an age where that's not a big deal it wouldn't take away from our enjoyment. And a small thing it took us 40 minutes to find the cottage and we drove past the entrance a few times a wee sign just before that entrance would help.

“The lodge was fabulous.”

Cosy and clean and well maintained. Kitchen had ample utensils, pots, pans etc. The 2 bathrooms was ideal fir us as 2 couples. The location is ideal for exploring the lakes. Bus stop right outside the park is perfect. We enjoyed the hot tub for a relaxing evening , however, the jets are not good ( no power in them) and the pump is very loud when using which made us a little conscious of disturbing the neighbours so didn’t stay in it for long but still enjoyed our stay.

“The lodge was ok however the cleaning staff have let you down.”

I have taken pictures if you require them. I understand the lodge accepts dogs, we took ours, french bulldog. When we arrived we had to sweep the floor, it was full of long black dog hair. We swept up three times, all long black dog hair. There was cobwebs in the bedrooms and kitchen, lots of dust on the skirting board in the bathroom. Black mould around the windows in the bedroom, black mould on the back of the bedroom curtains, the bathroom door in the ensuite is filthy and water damaged, the ensuite drain needs looking at as it overflows. If I wanted to be really picky the blinds need cleaning. Had we known it was park of Park Dean we probably would not have booked as there was just two adults and no children. The restaurant was not very clean, the carpet hadn't been hooved the whole time we were there, 6 nights, we left a night early. The tables were sticky however three members of staff, Malcolm, Connor and Ellie were very nice and helpful. The ladies toilets had no hand soap in them for days, the gentleman's toilets were disgusting. We booked this as a chilled weekend because I have been through a year and a half of chemotherapy and my immune system is compromised, Park dean did not help in any way by being dirty!

“Property is in need of some maintenance.”

Both entry doors have had issues in the past so part of the locks have been cut out, reducing security. Attention to detail on finishing touches. Hot tub made some terrible noises, I would estimate pump issues. It started running during the night waking us up. Cleaning of the property was not acceptable. We found medication, in the form of tablets, under the table, pleased we found this medication before our dog. We will not be booking this lodge again

- Mark, June 2024

Thank you for your comments. Regarding your issues with your recent stay, had you contacted the office maybe some of these issues could have been resolved. The doors we have never had any issues with in the past, and as for the hot-tub it runs on a 24hr cycle and you were advised that if the noise was bothering you to switch it off, we have never had any complaints about this before. We accept you had issues with the cleanliness of the lodge- If you had contacted the office about this not being acceptable then the cleaners would have been sent back out . As for " attention to detail " could you elaborate on this?? Property Owner
Sharon May 2024

“We had a fabulous stay at this lodge, it is clean, has everything you need for a sc holiday and we loved relaxing in the hot tub and soaking up the sun on the veranda.”

The bedrooms are a little tight but we managed and the bed was to hard for me but thats preference. We would love to return in the future.

- Sharon, May 2024
Irene May 2024

“We just got back from staying there.”

What I can say is that it's clean, fragrant, and comfortable to stay because you can feel the homeliness of the place. There are just a few things that need improvement - the bed is a bit hard and uncomfortable on the back. The fridge has a slight issue with dispensing ice cubes, but there's an ice bag provided inside the freezer. Apart from that, I would still recommend it because we enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

- Irene, May 2024

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We are pleased that you found the lodge to be clean and comfortable. We do find that beds and mattresses are down to personal preference. The fridge freezer has two settings. 1 is for iced water and 1 for ice. We take all comments on board. Thank you- The Lake District Lodge Holidays Owner Relations Team Property Owner

“Thought the property was lovely as just as stated.”

It was well equipped with more things than I would’ve expected so that was another lovely surprise. We did drop something that went under the sofa and when we pulled it out to get it , it was very dirty under there so that’s probably the only downside . Would definitely recommend

Vicki February 2024

“Had a lovely week in the lodge.”

It was very clean, comfortable and cosy and was situated in a nice quiet spot but not far from the leisure complex. It had everything we could need to make it a fantastic holiday. The site is lovely and is a great base to get out and explore. We will definitely be back!

- Vicki, February 2024
Davina August 2023

“Absolutely lovely lodge, very clean and relaxing.”

Hot tub was amazing after the long walks. The couple of problems we had were dealt with straightaway. Also a great location to get out and about with a bus stop right outside. Will definitely be coming back.

- Davina, August 2023
Julie July 2023

“Brilliant lodge, everything we needed for a weeks stay.”

Had one issue that was resolved immediately. Lovely location and very peaceful. On an early morning walk with the dog we met a lovely deer who was just having a quiet walk around the site. Can highly recommend this lodge if you need to recharge your batteries and get away from the hustle and bustle of life.

- Julie, July 2023

Thanks for your lovely review we're really pleased you enjoyed your stay hope to see you again soon Property Owner
Louisa July 2023

“We had problems with the water jets on the hot tub.”

I reported to the maintenance guy, but he didn't seem bothered. Very disappointing

- Louisa, July 2023

Hi we had a word with the hot tub guy and he said the jets were fine and you just hadnt turned them on properly Property Owner
Shannon June 2023

“Great lodge and in a perfect location for all local towns.”

Perfect condition lodge with additional hot tub which was perfectly clean along with the rest of the lodge. I’ve already recommended this to our friends and family who will be booking shortly. I love that it’s pet friendly too and is enclosed for the dogs to wander around the lodge with the assurance that they are safe. Lovely quiet lodge, fully kitted out. A home away from home.

- Shannon, June 2023

Thank you for your review, we're really pleased you enjoyed your stay, hope to see you again soon. Property Owner
Andrew June 2023

“I stayed at this property recently for a week with my parents and partner.”

Upon arriving it seemed like a nice little lodge and quite homely. However, the property had not been cleaned very well at all. There were pringles under the coffee table. The bathroom was full of dust around the skirting boards as well as behind the basin. There was dust on both headboards of the bed as well as alot of dust, food packaging and the odd biscuit under the sofa. The lights in the living area also had not been dusted. The filter for the fridge was red so had not been changed as well as it being dirty. When having a shower in the ensuite, the water leaked through the shower screen meaning we had to put towels on the floor all around it to try and stop the floor from flooding. The left hand door on the main does was also faulty, meaning it did not lock at the bottom so was not fully secure. We were all looking forward to our stay here as the photos and description sounded just what we wanted, however, we were rather disappointed considering checking in was 4pm so there was plenty of time to sort the property before we arrived. For the money we spent for this property we do feel we are out of pocket as this had alot of potential, yet due to the points above, let it down immensely.

- Andrew, June 2023
Isobel May 2023

“We were more than happy with the lodge, it was very comfortable and safe for the dog.”

The lovely veranda gave us lots of extra space as we were very lucky with the weather too. Everything was more than we had hoped for, we would recommend this lodge and the site.

Lynsey February 2023

“In general we had a lovely stay.”

Disappointing that the hot tub had a fault and we could only use it the first night. We were only informed about this fault when the guy came to clean it on the morning we were leaving as he said it needed a new part. Think we should have been informed of this considering we paid the price for a lodge with the use of a hot tub. Also we found the toilets didn't flush properly. Took ages to drain. In addition the microwave kept cutting out. Think it would have been beneficial to have a guide on how to use appliances etc (including the hot tub) We did have a lovely stay however and the lodge was in an excellent location. Just found these problems should have been communicated to ourselves.

- Lynsey, February 2023

Thank you for your feedback and bringing the issues you encountered to our attention. Had you made us aware during your stay of these issues, we would have been able to assist you to put these things right. Having said that, we are currently in the process of resolving these issues and hope to update this reply soon with the resolution. Property Owner
Richard And Jackie December 2022

“We stayed at Xmas.”

On entering cabin it looked lovely. Very welcoming with a tree up. Nice touch. HOWEVER it wasn't clean. We all thought the "cleaners" relied on us customers cleaning before we vacated for fear of being charged. I am assuming they must of applied a cats lick to the property as it was dirty. Built up dirt. Toilet seat underneath was yellow with wee stains. Mould on the curtains. Accumulated dirty, cobwebs and filth on cupboard tops and behind the beds, under chairs and sofa. The microwave shorted out first time we used it and the hoover.

- Richard And Jackie, December 2022

We were sorry to hear that the lodge was not up to its usual standards of cleanliness, had we been made aware of these issues on your arrival or during your stay, we could have arranged for the cleaners to return to address these for you. The issues you mentioned regarding the toilet seat and the curtains, could have been replaced and any additional time taken to rectify these, would have been added to prolong your departure time from the property. We have given a gesture of good will, following the issues you raised, although, we are aware that you moved several items of larger furniture around which we do not feel was appropriate. We can confirm we did attend the lodge the day after your departure, and did not find any filth or dust on the cupboard tops which you mentioned. Property Owner
Paul November 2022

“Overall the property was really nice and homely.”

The hot tub was a really great too. The whole property was really nice and clean and in a great location. We only had two issues with the property. One was the main bedroom. The mattress was unsuitable and really uncomfortable. You could actually feel the bed base through the mattress. Also the bedding, pillows and duvet should be much better quality for it been a rental. There was also loads of dust and cobwebs behind the headboard (only part on the cabin that wasn’t clean!). The en-suite was done out really lovely but the vent wasn’t working properly so was causing mould in the room. The other issue was the wifi only worked the first night but we now know wifi is to do with the site not the property. Would of been nice to know that while we was there so we could of gone and sorted it. Overall we had a really lovely stay. If the changes where made to the bedroom we would defiantly recommend and stay again. We think a welcome pack would of been a nice personal touch too. Just with some info about the cabin and how everything works. Also maybe some info on the local area and the site. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Joanne October 2022

“The electricity tripped out a number of times we managed to find the master trip switch to get back on but seems to be a problem if a few devices on.”

We also lost hot water a few times, maintenance came out and said the bar in the boiler was too low this should have been checked before we arrived. The response from Lake District holidays was great in getting someone out quickly. The kitchen and lounge area are fine but the beds and bedding were poor. Beds really uncomfortable and bedding very tired and bobbly. The hot tub was enjoyed by all. Overall an expensive stay for an average lodge

- Joanne, October 2022

Many thanks for taking the time to submit your valued feedback. We are grateful to you for bringing these matters to our attention. A new boiler has recently been fitted in Badgers Hollow and boiler pressure will be monitored. We are pleased that this was resolved quickly for you by Lake District Lodge Holidays. It is unlikely that the problems encountered with electricity were caused by too many devices being used. The issue may have been caused through removal of trees at the rear of the lodge. This work was recently carried out by the park and they will investigate the area to ensure no damage has been caused to cables. Whilst we are sorry you found the beds to be uncomfortable, this is very much based on personal choice so unfortunately we are unable to cater for all requirements in this regard. We look forward to welcoming you back should you decide to visit the area again in the future. Property Owner
Eloise September 2022

“Didn’t realise there was any wifi until we were about to leave the property!”

Luckily was able to meet with the owner on the way out. Explained that there was a power cut through our stay and had to call the maintenance team who came out in 30-60 minutes. Seems when too many appliances are being used, the power trips. The rooms get very stuffy and hot in the night. About 1 hour walking distance from Bowness on Windermere which is a nice walk. Great location and the hot tub is 10/10. Had the best time thanks to this beautiful accommodation.

- Eloise, September 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Badger’s Hollow, and that you enjoyed the use of the hot tub. We are sorry to hear about the power cut, but we are glad to hear that our Maintenance team were able to attend to resolve the issue. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Property Owner

Andrew August 2022

“Lovely stay at Badgers Hollow, the Lodge was really clean and comfortable, some of the cushions for the outside furniture had some mould spots on them when we took them out to use , this was do to the holding box being broken, but honestly a great lodge to stay and would definitely recommend to all P.”

S The hot tub is a great addition

- Andrew, August 2022

Thank you for your valued feedback, we are delighted to hear of how much you enjoyed your stay. Noting your comments, our housekeeping department will check the cushions. Thank you for making us aware. We agree with you, the hot tub is a fantastic addition and is lovely to relax in after a busy day walking the fells. We do hope we will be welcoming you back soon.

“Your General Feedback Would you like to provide feedback about the holiday property?”

This will be shared with the property owner. Property appeared tired. Lack of information with regard to location, activities, GP. No internet meant this meant restricted information. Decking boards were wobbly. Hot tub was not fully functional, some jets we're dislodged. Had to remove rug from lounge as it was stained and smelly. Mattresses were thin and uncomfortable. Misleading information with regard to location, not possible to walk along lake from lodg

- Lisa, July 2022

Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry to hear of your experience in Badgers Hollow Lodge. Had you contacted us during your stay then we could have returned to assist you with some of your comments. We do find comfort to be a personal preference but we will keep an eye on the mattresses going forward. Noting your comments on the decking boards and appearance of the property, this is most unusual due to the property recently having a new decking and work carried out inside the property. The owners have looked into the rug and cannot locate the stain or any smells. The wifi is provided by the park and is outside of our control, we do advise of this on the lodge listing and in the arrival information all our guests receive prior to their stay. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused during your stay. We do take all feedback very seriously and hope you do return to enjoy the vast selection of properties we have on our portfolio. Property Owner

Kirsty November 2021

“Lovely accommodation.”

Comfy and cosy but also lovely decor. The bed in the 2nd bedroom is too big for the room due to the wooden ends sticking out making it difficult to walk around, also the wifi doesn’t stretch from Parkdean so I feel it shouldn’t be advertised as free wifi as this isn’t the case, but otherwise everything else was perfect. Thank you for allowing us to use.

Cottage was lovely very clean spacious enough for 4 adults and 1 dog however I do feel the second bedroom was far to small for the double bed in it was awkward to walk around especially for my 6 foot husband hot tub was amazing n very enjoyable site was very dog friendly n our dog was allowed in all the food areas n welcomed with treats and water which he loved

- Kathy, October 2021
Anthony August 2021

“The lodge (Badger's Hollow), was spotless, but a couple of issues made it less than perfect.”

The double bed in the 2nd bedroom was too large for the size of the room, making it difficult to manoeuvre round the bedroom without banging legs or knees on the wooden framework, which protruded around the mattress. Also the wet room drain plug needs clearing out, as it couldn't cope with the water flow, meaning the entire floor was indeed wet like a paddling pool. Apart from that, we had a great stay.

- Anthony, August 2021
Louise July 2021

“We arrived on 2nd of November 2020, made our way to the holiday park, the holiday park staff themselves were not particularly helpful, however when I phone the Lake District Lodge Holiday number both people who answered were extremely friendly and helpful.”

Especially as we faced uncertainty around our booking and staying for the full week due to lockdown. The lodge itself was perfect for the two of us and our two dogs, completely secure.

Thank you for your brief review of Badgers Hollow. As your comments are rather vague and at odds with what the vast majority of guests say about their stay at this very popular lodge we have asked you to clarify them. These will then be passed on to the owner for their reference. Badgers Hollow provides great value, comfortable and modern accommodation and is a very popular lodge in which to stay. Property Owner

Mr Peter Harris Apr 2019

“Had a brilliant time staying in Badgers Hollow Lodge at White Cross Bay.”

Felt very comfy and homely. The park is in a great location and the lodge had everything we needed, all the mod cons plus the option of a bath or shower, the fridge was big and spacious to store our food and there was a wii and other games to play with too. Really enjoyed our stay. Thank you. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Loved the location of the park and the comfort of the lodge. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? We went on a boat ride on Lake Windermere, the port being only a short walk

- Mr Peter Harris, Apr 2019
Mr Steve Clarke Apr 2019

“It was a bit of a gamble booking this lodge as I've never done one before and not knowing what to expect.”

However, the previous reviews gave a very good account and they were right. The lodge was well appointed, clean and well equipped. Having an ensuite bathroom was bonus. Also having a hot tub was fantastic especially after doing a lot of fell walking. My only gripe was that there was an odd smell that from the hot tub area - vegetation and chlorine mix. This came into the lodge near the cupboard by the back door. It was quite noticeable when first entering the lodge. Also the dogs didn't think much of it either. I've made Lake District Lodge park aware of this in another feedback form and they will look into it. The lodge is in a nice location and we didn't hear much noise when staying there. A walk down to the Marina is well worth it and the view is stunning early in the morning especially as the fells had snow on them. There's also a woodland walk that it good for walking dogs in the morning and plenty of dog poo bins. Ambleside is only a few miles away and most areas like Hawkshead, Coniston are not too far away by car. The whole holiday exceeded my expectations and I would recommend staying at the lodge park and the lodge I had. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Love the hot tub and great lodge What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? If you are fit and like walking then do the Old Man at Coniston. The views are well worth the climb up.

Mr Mark Crumpton Mar 2019

“Struggled to get out bearing to the lodge at first at wasn What did you enjoy most about your stay?”

“A lovely lodge for a much needed rest!”

“We spent the weekend at Badgers Hollow and loved every minute of it .”

It was so cosy, clean, warm and the hot tub was amazing. The lights that come on around the lodge at night time are so pretty - it was so lovely - we had a chilled and relaxed time - the lodge was so comfy and very close walking distance to the main clubhouse which was great. Would highly recommend this lodge to anyone and especially if you have a dog as we were able to take our springer spaniel. What did you enjoy most about your stay? We just love the Lakes but the lodge was so peaceful and the hot tub amazing ! What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests?

“Had a great stay at badger hollow this year.”

Would definitely recommend it to family and friends. Great location, walking distant to some villages. A few areas for improvement would be the the shower was weak (lacking pressure) and Wi-Fi wasn't great at lodge but you could go up to the main centre but these are very minor in comparison to the overall stay. The use of the hot tub was a huge bonus. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Great locals walks, great family entertainment What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Great for families

“From the moment we arrived on the park we were delighted, it was what were looking for, a few days of quiet on our way home from Wales.”

The staff on site were lovely and helpful, the lodge was great everything we needed it felt like home. Our girls had a great time ESP the hot tube. It was good with the decking being able to leave doors open and know that our dog wouldn't be able to escape. The lodge was lovely and clean for our arrival and a perfect location for trips into Bow-ness and Ambleside we enjoyed exploring the Rydal caves too. We have fallen in love and hope to return in the future. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Great location and relaxing in the hot tube.

“Badgers Hollow was a home from home with a well equipped kitchen.”

If required there was plenty of reading matter and dvds. Our hot tub was maintained three times during our 7 night stay which is excellent as it was well used. My only gripe is the hot water was very sparidic which made having a shower very long winded even altering boiler didn What did you enjoy most about your stay?

The decor the vibe, just everything was great. Had no trouble getting there and it was only a 10 minute drive from bowness. The site was on the lake too so it was lovely for a late stroll. The hot tub was great and private, with fantastic ambiance. They decorated for Christmas too which made it even better. The tv and sound system was lovely and the beds were so comfy. I loved the addition of an en suite and would definitely stay here again. Could not fault in any way. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Everything, mostly the Christmas decorations What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Trip to bowness and drinks in the hot tub

Debby Jarman Oct 2017

“It was a very nice peaceful few days away really did not want to come home.”

The lodge was nice, clean and well equipped a dishwasher would have been nice so we could relax more. The only thing that was needed was a mop for the wet room we had to roll towels up to stop the water running into the bedroom. I did like the lodge but I would look at one of the larger ones next time as they seem to have more access room around the hot tubs. We didn't have a grill either in the oven, if there is one we could not use as all the symbols have worn off around the controls. Access to a movie channel or Netflix would have been nice even if you had an additional charge. I took my mum away for a few days after we lost my Dad 3 months ago so we were not interest in going out which most people would probably do it was a chill out holiday, don't get me wrong we had a really great time can't wait till next time, hot tub aarrr!! What did you enjoy most about your stay? peace and quiet in a very nice setting What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? then boat trip at bowness we only did the 45min one but would do the longer one next time

Although the weather was not too kind during the week, coming back to such a lovely lodge with the added benefit of the hot tub was superb! Very quiet location on the park which made for a lovely relaxing week. Everything we could possibly need was provided, including the ice dispenser in the huge American style fridge freezer!

There is a lot to do in the surrounding areas, Windermere, Bowness, etc with a lot of different restaurants to choose from. The hot tub was a bonus and a treat after a long days walking. We even got round to using the Health Choice Club, swimming, jacuzzi, sauna and steam room which was amazing. Overall had an amazing weekend, will definitely be booking back up for next year. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Relaxation and the hot tub. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests?

Mr Matthew Lawrenson Aug 2017

“Had a week at Badgers Hollow with my wife and our three year old daughter.”

The lodge itself is finished to a decent standard and felt comfortable and cosy. My daughter loved it. The site itself is well situated with some ok facilities. However, the bar/restaurant is too small to accommodate all the holiday makers on the site even though the staff do their utmost. The multi games area also has a very restrictive net ceiling (presumably to keep the leaves off it in the autumn) so it is impossible to play even a friendly game of tennis. In short, nice lodge, nice staff but the site itself needs some investment. Given the extortionate cost they are charging for buying a lodge, they must surely have the money. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The hot tub! What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Lake cruise from Ambleside to Bowness

- Mr Matthew Lawrenson, Aug 2017

Thank you for your review, Matthew and we were delighted to hear you had a relaxing break at Badgers Hollow. The lodge is equipped with all home comforts for guests to enjoy a very comfortable, and relaxing stay (lovely to know your daughter thought so too) And of course the hot tub is amazing! How better to unwind of an evening? As booking agents to this privately owned lodge the park facilities and services are something outside of our control, although having said that we appreciate you letting us know and we will pass on your comments to the park management for their reference. The nearby towns, Bowness-on-Windermere and Ambleside, have an excellent choice of eateries and bars and with a good atmosphere. Definitely worth trying. Badgers Hollow offers superb contemporary accommodation for families or couples looking to escape to the Lakes. An ideal holiday retreat. Property Owner

“We had a wonderful week long break in this lodge.”

It was in a perfect location for getting out and about to see the Lake District. The lodge was clean and well presented and it had everything you need.

Mrs Karen Heraty Aug 2017

“We enjoyed a week at Badgers Hollow in June as a family of 4 (2 children aged 9 & 11).”

We were lucky with the weather, so were able to sit out on the decking, using the patio furniture provided. The hot tub was fabulous and we used it every day. The wet room off the main bedroom was great, but we could have done with a mop to dry it afterwards and prevent wet feet onto the carpet. There was also a full bath in the other bathroom. We also loved the american fridge with ice dispenser and generally found the kitchen fully equipped and happily cooked in it. The beds and sofas were comfortable and I even found a good book to read off the bookshelf in the lodge. There was plenty of wardrobe space and hangers, plus space to store outdoor coats and boots in the hallway. The washing machine was also another much appreciated addition to the lodge. it is in a quiet location on the park, so no problems sleeping at night. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The hottub What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? A cruise on Lake Windermere

Mrs Dawn Parr Jul 2017

“We arrived at 3pm on 26th June for a 4 night break.”

Check in was easy and fast. The lodge upon first sight was fantastic. It was actually better than the photos when we booked it. The hot tub was ready to use that evening which was great. The fencing around the tub could be a little more private but that doesn't spoil it at all. There's everything you need in the lodge and the huge fridge with ice maker was an unexpected surprise and a definite bonus. No dishwasher but I would prefer the fridge to that anyway. Lovely decking with fab furniture but we only got to sit out there once due to Lake District weather. We highly recommend Badgers Hollow to anyone who is looking for a lodge holiday and we will definitely visit again! What did you enjoy most about your stay? The beauty of the lodge and surroundings What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Lake Windermere

Miss Nicole Wright Jun 2017

“Amazing week spent in the Lake District!”

Would recommend this holiday park to anyone ranging from couples to large family's. Advantages: >Clean and tidy (the actual park and lodge) >Reception was fast service >Staff very friendly >Lodge in good condition and hot tub >A lot of activities to do for everyone >Nemoruos walk ways to explore >Overall a fantastic experience and we will be coming back next year. The only two disadvantages is the park map as it's not very clear to understand where your lodge is, also some sign posts were missing in the park to direct you to where you need be. Fantastic Holiday though 4.5 out of 5 :) What did you enjoy most about your stay? The lodge itself and the many walkways the Lake District has to offer, the best bit was the hot tub after a long hard day of activities. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Boat ride across the lakes and explore all the walking experiences.

Mr Nigel Holden Jun 2017

“After a number of years had passed since our last visit to the Lakes my wife recently returned to stay at Badgers Hollow.”

The property is in good order and well presented with most things that we needed provided. The only item that the property needs that it doesn't have is a tumble dryer. Whilst the weather was excellent during our stay, the Lake District is well known for heavy rainfall a tumble is a must. The property also needs a much stronger wifi signal, the signal at the moment is very weak. Apart from those two minor criticisms we were very happy with the property and would recommend it to others. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Very quiet location. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Boat trip on Windermere.

- Mr Nigel Holden, Jun 2017

Thank you for the review, Nigel. We were so pleased to hear you returned to this beautiful lodge once again. Comfortable, cosy and well equipped for a relaxing break in the Lakes. Although a launderette is onsite we will pass on your suggestion for a tumble dryer to the lodge owners for their consideration ? thank you. Similarly, as the Park provide the WiFi we will pass on your comments for their information. For some the chance to escape and unwind in peace and tranquillity is often just what is needed, and the Lake District is such an amazing and stunning part of the world. Thank you for recommending the lodge to others and letting us know you enjoyed your stay. We will be very happy to welcome you both again in the near future. Property Owner
Miss Holly Jones May 2017

“We couldn't of asked for anything more.”

So clean and tidy and well equipped. Maybe the site could do with a few more sign posts as it took us about 15 mins to find the lodge as there don't seem to be sign posts apart from reception/exit. We'll definitely be back :) What did you enjoy most about your stay? All of it. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Brockhole.

- Miss Holly Jones, May 2017

Thank you very much for the kind comments and superb ratings, Holly. It is always a pleasure to hear guests have had an enjoyable stay.

“Would highly recommend this lodge, myself my husband, daughter and dog all stayed for my husbands birthday and outlr 1st year wedding anniversary weekend.”

We couldnt belive how lovely the lodge was, all the little touches like the guest book for example, the hot tub was amazing and we lived the ensuite bathroom you can tell the lodge has been finished with very high standards. The only downfall we had personally which wasnt the lodge owners fault but the park itself doesnt allow you to leave your dog unattended in the lodges so we wernt able to go out for tea or breakfast at the onsight restaurant but they do have takeaway on anything they sell so we did still manage to have a meal we didnt have to cook just at the lodge instead. They had all kitchen essentials so we managed to cook food as if we was in our own kitchen. Highly recommended. Thank youu will hopefully be staying again. What did you enjoy most about your stay? High finish throughout and hottub What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? If you want more shops than the local windemere try kendal its just like your local shopping park

- Mrs Kirsty Fox, Mar 2017

Thank you for your review, Kirsty. It?s lovely to hear you had a double celebration and chose to spend it at Badgers Hollow, an excellent choice. A very cosy lodge that is fully equipped for a relaxing stay - a real home from home with the bonus of a hot tub. Although dogs are not allowed to be left in the lodge unattended, the Lake District is very dog friendly and there are many bars, cafes and restaurants close to the Park that allow dogs ? with that said we were pleased to hear you enjoyed the takeaway service on site as well as making good use of kitchen, it is indeed very well equipped. Very kind of you to highly recommend this lodge, thank you. We would be delighted to have you stay again in the near future. Property Owner
Mrs Michelle Scrimshaw Jan 2017

“Absolutely loved our time at Badgers hollow, only regret it that we did not book for a week!”

!! Some lovely walks for our 2 boxer dogs (would had an absolute ball) and also plenty to do for the kids too as we have a 3 year old daughter. We used the free pass to Choices health club and took her swimming and I would also recommend brockholes just up the road (we walked it as it was only about a mile away) The outdoor play area up there was amazing, but the rest of it was shut as it was late on a sunday (will definitely be back to experience that properly) The lodge itself was so homely and comfortable and especially loved the hot tub after a busy day walking. The TV signal wasn't the best at times but we would just put a film on. We definitely be back in the future, loved it! What did you enjoy most about your stay? The break What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Brockholes

- Mrs Michelle Scrimshaw, Jan 2017

Thank you for your review and lovely comments, Michelle. We were delighted to hear the lodge met all your requirements and you had an enjoyable stay, boxer dogs included! Choices Health Club is brilliant for children, lovely pool that is usually quiet and only a couple of minutes from the Park, as is Brockhole. The Park is in a great location with so many things to do nearby and Badgers Hollow is modern and stylish with the added bonus of a hot tub - A popular choice for those looking for a holiday in the Lakes. We are so pleased to hear you will be returning in the future, perhaps next time for a week? Property Owner

Miss Ruku Bibi Dec 2016

“My husband and our best friends absolutely loved our weekend at badgers hollows!”

It really was exactly what we needed. The surroundings & views were stunning but it was the actual lodge that made our weekend. The lodge was cosy, beautiful and practical inside... the two spacious double bedrooms were lovely and the bonus was that each couple had their own bathrooms! The lodge was so comfortable infact we barely left it just for our one hike up orresr head (defo worth going up there- stunning stunning views!). A beautiful, relaxing weekend & can not wait to come back! What did you enjoy most about your stay? Everything! The late 5pm check out was the perfect added bonus as it meant we got to have the much needed lie in on the Sunday! What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? A walk to orrest head & Beatrix Potter world!

- Miss Ruku Bibi, Dec 2016

Thank you for the review and letting us know how much you enjoyed your stay at Badgers Hollow, Ruku. We were delighted to hear that the lodge met all your needs and you enjoyed a very comfortable and relaxing weekend with friends. It is indeed beautiful accommodation and with two bathrooms it is perfect for couples sharing. Great to hear you made it out of the lodge for a walk up Orrest Head, the panoramic views at the top are amazing and capture a true picture of the Lake District. And the hot tub is a very tempting thought after a day out walking, did you make good use of it? Lovely to hear you will be returning, for another perfect weekend! Property Owner

“Badgers Hollow was the perfect choice for a week of comfort and relaxation.”

Even the dog chilled out. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The hot tub. Absolute heaven. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? A walk through the woods. Deer running right past you is an experience never to be forgotten.

“I booked a stay at Badger's Hollow as a surprise for my girlfriend's birthday, and suffice to say we were not disappointed!”

The lodge is neatly set in a secluded part of the camp and is not overlooked at all. On entering the lodge it was nice and bright, and very clean. The bedrooms were both a good size and the master had an en-suite wetroom with overhead shower that was lovely. Every room was decorated nicely. In the kitchen there was a selection of teas, coffees and sweet treats, which was a really nice touch to the lodge. The owners also provide robes and slippers which were also very nice (albeit the slippers too small for someone with size 10 feet!). We only really used the lodge overnight for the 3 days that we were there, but it was always nice to come back to a warm and inviting lodge at the end of a day's walking, and the hot tub was perfect for unwinding. The views of the sky when relaxing in the hot tub at night were wonderful, as there is next to no light pollution around the lodge. This really made the holiday for us. All in all, a very nice little lodge that is private, cosy, and perfect for a weekend away... or even longer! We will certainly be coming back given the chance. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Hot tub and views of the night sky What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? For the fitter guest, climbing Scafell Pike. Just don't do it in winter!

- Dr Chris Roper, Nov 2016

Thank you for reviewing your stay and for the very kind comments, Chris. We were so pleased to hear you chose Badgers Hollow for a birthday surprise, a very good choice! The lodge is very well equipped to cater for all needs as well as some added little touches for a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. Lovely to hear you enjoyed days out walking and in such a beautiful part of the world, the scenery is fantastic. And the hot tub is indeed a super addition to any lodge and a great way to unwind. We look forward to welcoming you again in the very near future. Property Owner

They couldn't of picked a better place. Everything about badgers hollow was perfect, from the comfy corner sofa to the relaxing hot tub. On site facilities are great. Perfect for kids as well. So much to do and really good location. Windermere town is 10 minute drive. Or 5 min walk out side the complex there is the lakes vistor centre or opposite direction there is a few shops and restaurants. We will definitely be returning. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Relaxing in the hot tub What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Safari zoo.

“Our second time booking with lake district lodges and our first time staying at badgers hollow, the lodge was lovely and clean and comfortable and the little touches like complimentary slippers and dressing gowns and toiletries made us feel very welcome, the hot tub was great after a day's walking and although a little overlooked by next door it didn't put us off using it twice every day, there is nothing negative I can say about the lodge and will be booking it again for next year, also I would like to thank Simon at Lake district lodges for texting us on a Sunday to let us know our keys had been found!”

Mr Luke Clark Aug 2016

“We really enjoyed our stay at white cross bay in badgers Hollow.”

It was very comfortable, quiet and in a good location. The lodge was really modern with lots of great items from books/games. Cinema surround sound and a Nintendo wii, so great for couples or families. It is a great size also the decking area is quite big too. The hot tub was amazing and really easy to use/operate. The only minor issue we had and it was very minor. Is that the hot tub wasn't completely private. It was a different hot tub and fencing that was in the picture. When you got in it to relax it was dead opposite another lodge front door. But with some good positioned extra sheets we took that we placed over the trellis fencing surround the hot tub sorted the problem. Over all it was excellent. Defiantly worth every penny and we can't wait to go back and stop again. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The hot tub and location. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The lake cruises and the steam train.

- Mr Luke Clark, Aug 2016

Thank you for your review and kind comments, Luke. We were so pleased to hear you had a very enjoyable stay. Our apologies that the photos of the hot tub were not accurate - the hot tub is an upgrade and due to health and safety screening is now not allowed on the park. Occasionally lodges are slightly different to the photos as they are not always updated as quickly as the changes. We will adjust the website accordingly - Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused. The lodge is very well equipped to cater for families or couples, and the lodge owners have also added some extra little touches to make the holiday just that little bit more special. Not forgetting the hot tub - perfect after a day out exploring. Delighted to hear you will be returning. We look forward to welcoming you again to Badgers Hollow (next time with your loyalty discount!). Property Owner
Mrs Carol Lidster Jul 2016

“Had a lovely stay at badgers hollow , the lodge was very clean ,modern and in a great location with the added bonus of a hot tub which made my stay more fabulous ,it was used numerous times.”

Loved the decking area ,sitting out in the morning and late evening.The owners thought of every thing including tea ,coffee etc for when we arrived there,all in a whole a wonderful 4 days and would highly recommend it. Food at the boathouse on site was lovely ate a couple of times there also a little shop if we forgot anything ,a beautiful lodge and site . What did you enjoy most about your stay? The surroundings , lodge ,hot tub ,everything really What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? a day in Bowness is a must , beautiful place ,plenty of shops, pubs with beautiful gardens and views over the lake and definitely a boat ride around the lake

- Mrs Carol Lidster, Jul 2016
Mrs Pauline Manson Jul 2016

“The lodge was quiet and peaceful when we stayed.”

Although it was not in the main children's holidays. It was well equipped to a high standard and nothing felt "cheap". My motto is, why would you pay to stay somewhere less than your own home ?? We were about an hours walk into Bowness which was just enough to rustle the appetite for a coffee and cake. Although our weather was not outstanding we had one very sunny warm day so we took advantage of the hot tub which was super. On the other two days it was cloudy but we busied ourselves at Coniston and Windermere so the weather did not hinder us. As gym users my husband , son and his wife were all disappointed with the gym, unfortunately we did not have time to visit Choices to compare. We would come again, the leisure staff were lovely and friendly but I would not pay to use the site's leisure facilities. We went with our son and his wife who have been married just 10 months and the lodge did not feel cramped and the en-suite gave us privacy so we did not feel we were under each others feet. What did you enjoy most about your stay? White Cross Bay location. Family time What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? We went to Ulverston to visit the Buddhist Temple. It was amazing and free. The lakes can be expensive.

- Mrs Pauline Manson, Jul 2016

Thank you very much for your review and for awarding us top marks on all aspects of your stay, Pauline. We are so pleased to hear you had an enjoyable stay at Badgers Hollow. Our lodge aims to provide a unique experience and we are thrilled that we were able to exceed your expectations on this occasion. That aside we note your comment about the gym on site and although this is something outside of our control we will pass it on to the park management for their consideration. We look forward to your next stay and are sure you will find Choices Health Club a superb alternative - it has an excellent and very well equipped gym. The lodge is a super choice for a family or a couple as it has plenty of space to relax, and the owners have added some lovely touches with great attention to detail. Property Owner
Mrs Kelly Holwill Jul 2016

“We had a fab short break at badgers hallow.”

Lodge was clean and tidy. Hot tub was fab. Great location. Gym membership was useful on wet days with a toddler. Only ones in pool during school times. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Boat trip to Ambleside/bowness What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? walk to brookholes then hop on boat rather than driving to Ambleside/bowness

- Mrs Kelly Holwill, Jul 2016
Mr Neil Beynon Jun 2016

“Lovely lodge that obviously has owners that care that you enjoy your holiday.”

Everything is catered for in the lodge i.e. iron, slippers, robes, and it is in a very good condition and well placed in the park. The hot tub is nice though it is not as private as the images on the website make out as the bamboo fence blew down previously. However, some well placed towels on the new fence serves just a well. If you are looking for the BBQ stand to place your disposable, it is a paving slab on the floor, which is not a problem - it just took a sec to figure out that that was what it was for. The park itself is nice and clean, with two small parks for children and a restaurant that serves Harvester type food, though they could do with some more staff, the wait for service/food is usually awful. Unfortunately, we had to leave early due to a medical emergency, but I would stay in the lodge again without hesitation. The surrounding area is beautiful, and the park itself is well placed for touring the lakes. What did you enjoy most about your stay? BBQ on the decking, and scenic drive through the lakes. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Windemere boat trip to Lakeside and aquarium.

- Mr Neil Beynon, Jun 2016

Thank you very much for leaving a review and for the great ratings, Neil. We were sorry to hear you had to leave early, we do hope all is now well. The owners will be delighted you enjoyed your time at the lodge, as are we. They take pride in delivering a first class service by anticipating the needs of their guests and having excellent attention to detail. We are so pleased you were fully satisfied with the results. Lovely to hear you took a boat trip, very relaxing and calming and with some wonderful scenery along the way. And the aquarium is superb and in a beautiful setting by the lake. We would be delighted for you to return to Badgers Hollow, it is a lovely lodge to escape to complete with some of the finer touches. Property Owner

Glad you took advantage of the hot tub, very relaxing. And Hill Top is a great day out, a good tip is to visit in the morning for a quieter experience. We are so pleased you enjoyed the lodge and all it has to offer, it has some lovely little touches ? bathrobes and slippers, toiletries, complimentary tea and coffee and many more extras to help make your stay a great experience. Delighted to hear you will be returning in the future and we look forward to having you stay with us again. (next time complete with your loyalty discount!) Property Owner
Mr James Darge May 2016

“Can't say enough about the park site and the beautiful surrounding areas.”

While away we spent a day in Bowness which was a stunning little place. but remember that some streets are a little on the steep side . The park itself is really nice but we didn't enjoy the food on offer. Badgers hollow is a great little property and very well kept . I would strongly recommend this place for a trip to the lake district and surrounding areas . What did you enjoy most about your stay? Just to visit such a beautiful part of the country What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Bowness was stunning

- Mr James Darge, May 2016

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, James. Your ratings are great to see and we are delighted to hear you had such a good time. The lodge is in a great location for exploring the beautiful area and Bowness is no exception. A picturesque little town on the shores of Lake Windermere, admittedly a little on the steep side although it is what makes the Lakes so special and what amazing views! and plenty of restaurants to try. We are delighted you chose Badgers Hollow, a lovely lodge having that little extra touch of robes and slippers, perfect after a dip in the hot tub. We are very pleased to hear you will recommend us, thank you. Property Owner

“Perfect first holiday with our little boy who celebrated his 2nd birthday whilst we were there :) lodge owners even left us presents .”

Great day trips really close by and we had lovely sunny afternoons to relax outside, in the forest and by the marina. Called the customer service number once, answered straight away (even on bank holiday) and resolved with visit in less than an hour. Couldn't have wished for more and would definitely recommend to others. Thank you badgers hollow for lots of lovely memories x What did you enjoy most about your stay?

“This was our first time staying in a log cabin and it was GREAT it felt so homely we are already planning a return visit in the autumn The site was a really good location as a base for getting around the lakes.”

We really enjoyed the added bonus of the HOT TUB after a day out it was brilliant coming back and having 30 mins in the tub before cooking dinner we would recommend if you have only had holidays abroad take the plunge and head off to the lakes and BADGERS HOLLOW What did you enjoy most about your stay?

Mr James Parkinson Apr 2016

“My wife and I + our Vinny(the Pug) loved the lodge.”

It went beyond our expectations and we could not fault anything about it. It was peaceful and quiet and made the ideal break for us. The location was central to all the areas we had planned to visit and see. The only point I would make is that the site being claimed as dog friendly but you could not take your dog into the bar area on site, whereas the locations ie pubs, shops, museums, coffee bars we visited throughout the Lake District welcomed dogs. Overall a great lodge and location and we will definitely be back in the future. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The lodge and surrounding area What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Cruise Ship with Museum experience - dogs welcome.

- Mr James Parkinson, Apr 2016

Thank you for taking the time to write a review, James. Delighted you enjoyed your stay and glad to hear you will be returning in the future. Regrettably the bar and restaurant at White Cross Bay don't allow dogs in. However, we are very pleased you found lots of other dog friendly pubs and coffee bars to visit. The area is very dog friendly. We look forward to welcoming you all again in the near future. Property Owner

“A lovely warm and cosy lodge and well cared for by the owners who obviously want their guests to have a good relaxing holiday , we had a lovely quiet and relaxing weekend and would thoroughly recommend a visit to Badgers Hollow at White Cross Bay and a dip in their hot tub if you need to unwind and relax as well.”

No need to leave the site if you don't want too as there are good on site facilities and a shop that sells newspapers but if you do want to see the sights in the Lake district this is an ideal central location for doing so. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Peace and quiet What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests?

“I take my dogs all over for holidays and always put them first.”

The dog exercise area was not easy to find or signposted and when you did finf THE ONLY AREA they where aloud OFF the lead it was a 2 minute dirt track through the trees. Dogs where not permitted in the bar/lounge area when most hotels, bars ,restaurants and shops in Bowness and Windermere gladly welcome them in. So many rules about what the dogs are NOT aloud to do it a wonder why they advertise as DOG FREINDLY!!! If you are not aloud to leave them in the lodges at any time alone how are you expected to use the on site facilities. Very disapointed . Thankfully we had a great time and took him in the car every day to places he could actually enjoy. will not be back for this reason alone, which is a shame because the lodge was lovely and an ideal location in the heart of the lakes.

“Our first visit to the Lake District was everything we could have wished for.”

The lodge was the perfect location and central to all of the places we had intended to visit. The lodge provided all of our needs and the hot tub a great success and very welcome at the end of our first day out.. Sadly the hot tub failed to work after that, but we were generously recompensed by the company who dealt with the situation competently and sympathetically. We will definitely be returning and have no hesitation in recommending Badgers Hollow to all of our friends. As it was the middle of May the weather was cold but luckily it was dry and in no way prevented us from visiting the surrounding lakes. All in all we were really pleased with the lodge and the locality. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The high tech lodge and the location What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The nearby Visitors Centre was within walking distance and the gardens well worth a visit. As

“We had a fantastic time thank you, ideal lodge for a family.”

The facilities in the lodge were excellent and well maintained. Wifi was a little unpredicable but we survived. It was excellent being able to use the swimming pool and park facilities free of charge and the hot tub was amazing. The only thing I would say that let down our stay was the beds, unfortunately they were both really uncomfortable as had lumpy springs and in much need of replacement so we didn't sleep great. This is only negative comment we could say about this lodge and it was a shame as everything else was perfect! What did you enjoy most about your stay? Hot tub What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Boat on lake Windermere

- Mrs Gillian Steedman, Nov 2014

Thank you for reviewing your recent stay at Badgers Hollow, Gillian. Sorry to hear you felt the beds were uncomfortable. We do find this can be a personal choice and no other guests have provided similar comments. That said we will pass your comments back to the owners.

The welcome in the reception was spot on, our log cabin when we saw it was OMG this looks awesome and it didn't disappoint at all. The plus was the Hot tub, superb and did we cane it. We will defo come again to White Cross Bay and maybe in the same Badgers Hollow because as you say its a great place to relax and take onboard what is there to be seen. It must be a brill place more so in the summertime but that does not take away our stay at all with it being October.

“Great location for families.”

The pool was nice and warm and the children's play area's are very good. The cabin is well equipped with a fantastic fridge that has an ice machine. The decked outside area is perfect for young children as all access points are locked gates. Our only negatives were that the hot tub was not working properly which I am assured has now been fixed and that there was dog hair on the carpet that ended up on your clothes if you sat on the floor. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The en-suite shower and on site facilities What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? walk to Ambleside and ferry back

Commercial vehicles, caravans, camper vans, Hen or Stag parties are not permitted onsite. Dogs must be kept on leads at all times and are not be left alone in the lodges at any point during your stay.

You will be staying on an operational holiday park, which means work may be undertaken from time to time by the park owners during your stay.

All hot tubs are maintained to strict industry standards and HSE guidelines by separate qualified independent contractors on behalf of the property owners. This includes changing the water between guest stays and checking the water condition on a regular basis.

Whilst every effort is made to have a hot tub ready for immediate use by the arrival time stated, this may not always be possible. In such cases the hot tub will usually be ready to use later that day unless otherwise advised. In such cases no compensation or refund is payable unless the hot tub is faulty.

Information about using a hot tub safely is provided at all lodges with a hot tub and on a prominent notice near the tub. All hot tub users should wear an appropriate bathing suit.
