“The cabin was clean and comfy.”

We really enjoyed the holidays but i was expecting coffee and sugar. And also wifi was not working and even data. So we couldn’t reach with the family during holidays. We asked on the reception but nothing was done for wifi.

- Roji, August 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to see that you enjoyed your stay. As the property is self catering, tea and coffee is not always provided. We are sorry to hear that you experienced issues with the Wifi. The WIFI is complimentary and provided by the park. Thank you- The Lake District Lodge Holidays Owner Relations Team Property Owner

“Everything was fine, only there was a problem with the internet.”

- Payam, July 2023
Helen June 2023

“We had a lovely stay here in June.”

The caravan is perfectly equipped for the week and is in a great location. We stayed here so we could walk up to Brockhole for the Great North Swim. (About 10 minutes) The van was clean and tidy, although smaller than some caravans we have stayed in before. It was fine for the 4 of us, but may feel cramped with any more than that. The only thing that let this place down was the lack of WiFi, although the owner has mentioned this in the listing, we hadn't realised just how bad it would be. Overall a lovely stay and we would definitely stay there again.

- Helen, June 2023

Thank you for your kind comments. Should you return, you will hopefully find the Wi-Fi much improved. White Cross Bay installed a new system last autumn (2022). We had a router in Herdwick Cabin that automatically connected. Unfortunately, a fault developed and the engineer took the router out . We thought receiving its replacement would be speedier than it was and can only apologise it wasn’t done in time for your stay. happened as quickly as we thought it would. We can only a poly for the new router not having been installed in time for your stay. Property Owner
Beckers, May 2023 Jun 2023

“The cabin is very cosy and had everything that we needed.”

The location is also beautiful. Discovering all around the towns and the lake and the nature. A boat tour, the lake at Windermere and Grasmere.

- Beckers, May 2023, Jun 2023
Ferguson Jun 2023

“Enjoyed our stay.”

Oven took a bit longer to cook than expected. Unexpected lovely weather. Location is very good. Brockhole next door and Mountain Goat coach tour very good. Garden centre at Ambleside and all the beautiful Lakes.

- Ferguson, Jun 2023
Flannery, May 2023 Jun 2023

“Great cabin.”

Spacious and cosy. Great location. We will be back. The walks together as a family, feeding the local ducks. Boat tours a lovely walk into Windermere

- Flannery, May 2023, Jun 2023
Thompson Apr 2023

“Thank you for a lovely comfortable and clean stay!”

The cabin is perfect and we had everything we needed! Perfect location to all the beauty of the Lakes. Enjoyed walking to the Lakeside each morning. We have all enjoyed the beautiful scenery despite rainy weather! Albert pub in Windermere - very accommodating. We have visited Glenridding, Ambleside, Windermere and Rydal. Also been on 2 x boat rides with our children.

- Thompson, Apr 2023
Karl December 2022

“Dirty carpets, mold on net curtains, sink plug snapped in the kitchen area, damaged footstool / storage item , crisps and hairs on the floor, rusted bread bin, rusty toilet roll holder, no room to move in the bedrooms, lamp didn’t work plus positioned unsafe on soft cushion in between seating.”

Certainly not worth £239 per night no matter what time of year. Totally unsatisfied family with the premises and the booking with Sykes Cottages. NEVER AGAIN

- Karl, December 2022

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry you felt let down by your holiday stay. I also felt let down by it. As the owners, we had gone up to put Christmas decorations in for your New Year stay and the cabin looked beautiful. It was certainly not dirty. A lamp bulb had gone but there were spare bulbs. A small spot of mould was discovered on the master bedroom net curtain, which washed off (the cabin had not been occupied for a few weeks). There were staff at Skyes you could have contacted during your stay to voice concerns but you chose not to speak to anyone until after your stay ended. We take huge pride in Herdwick Cabin and have complete confidence in it and the Sykes team who look after it. Property Owner
Lindsay November 2022

“The mattress really is not fit for purpose extremely uncomfortable and would say cheap.”

Very little room in the bedroom you wake up feeling tired and not refreshed

- Lindsay, November 2022

Hi Many thanks for your feedback. Herdwick Cabin is new. The mattress came with the bed. It is soft, which isn't to everyone's taste but because some people would opt for a soft mattress rather than a harder one, it is difficult to know what to do for the best. It is a cabin rather than a cottage or luxury hotel, which is reflected in the hire price. The main living area is spacious but the bedrooms are small as they are in all such properties. The cabin's advantages are all its equipment and facilities, including its big SMART TV and high speed WIFI connection, and the amenities that the park offers, which are within a short walking distance. Property Owner
Tom September 2022

“Warm and clean caravan.”

All the facilities worked ok. The big let down was not a sniff of WiFi in the caravan. We had to go to the restaurant area to get a signal. The food in the restaurant was excellent, we dined there several times.

- Tom, September 2022

Many thanks for taking the time to submit your valued feedback. We are delighted to hear that you found the accommodation comfortable. Unfortunately, the lack of wifi is out of our control as this service is provided by the park. They are currently working on improving this so a better signal will hopefully be available in the not too distant future. We look forward to welcoming you back, should you decide to visit again in the future. Property Owner
Amy September 2022

“Generally clean and tidy although smelt unpleasant when we arrived so had to air the property.”

The park overall needs some investment. Swimming facilities and ‘club house’ and looking well used now.

- Amy, September 2022

Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry to hear of the issue you mentioned. Had these been brought to our attention we would have been happy to attend to investigate this further for you. The parks facilities are owned and managed by the a separate company (Parkdean Resorts) however we will forward your comments across to them on your behalf. Property Owner

Marc July 2022

“Fantastic location fantastic caravan but the park it's self was a bit disappointing the complex never really had much food options and it was hardly ever on only on a night time there was only entertainment on a hand full of nights the swimming pool was absolutely fantastic for the kids and really warm overall we would recommend anyone staying here and we'll be back ourselves location is outstanding and a 2 minute walk to the bus stops.”

The property

Welcome to Herdwick Cabin, our little plot of Lake District loveliness. We are located on the fabulous White Cross Bay Holiday Park, which has its own private access to the shores of beautiful Lake Windermere. Take a picnic down there or make the most of the Parks outdoor sports court and play area for children, its swimming pool with Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room and its amusement arcade, which you will find in the club house and bar, where you can treat yourself to breakfast, lunch or dinner if you do not feel like cooking and which often has evening entertainment as well as children's entertainment and activities during school holidays.

Take the woodland path to wander back to Herdwick Cabin, which is a home from home, ideal for families or groups of friends.

We can loan you a travel cot and high chair for free and re-configure our twin bedrooms to make you as comfortable possible. We make your pet just as welcome too as you will see. After your exploring, relax in Herdwick Cabins open-plan living area, which has a wide corner sofa at one end a large Smart TV so do not forget to connect your devices to the cabins router. There is a dining table so you can share a sit down meal together and a fully equipped kitchen, which has a large gas oven and range, microwave, and fridge/freezer.

Why not enjoy a brew or glass of wine on the patio, which is equipped with wooden seating.

Take the cushions and throw out with you to ward off evening chills. In the master bedroom, you will find a hairdryer.

The shower room and bathroom (toilet) are also conveniently separate to one another. On your doorstep is the park shop.

For a bit more variety, there is a SPAR at the garage a right turn and short walk along the main road out of the Parks main entrance.

For something special, including local produce, head to Booths in Bowness.

If you are not from the area and you don't know Booths, you have to visit.

It is the Waitrose of the North and some! You are spoilt for choice when it comes to local restaurants, cafes and pubs but check out the Queen's Head in Troutbeck and the cafe at Brockhole on Windermere, which is a fab place for families and a left turn and short walk along the main road from the Park main entrance.

Don't drive there as you are too near and parking is expensive but do not miss visiting.

Brockhole on Windermere offers boat and paddle board hire, kayak tours, mini golf, tree nets, tree trekking that ends with a great zip wire, an adventure playground and loads of other fun stuff.

You can make a day of it. Just over the lake is the National Trust's Wray Castle, there is Hill Top, Beatrix Potter's quaint home plus The World of Beatrix Potter children's museum in Bowness.

You can pick up leaflets on a host of local attractions at the Park reception by the main entrance to its bar.

They also have bus timetables and as there are bus stops right outside the park?s main entrance, public transport is something you may want to consider to save on car park fees and to help the environment. Talking of which, if you are a walker, Herdwick Cabin is ideally situated.

Go as if you are heading towards Brockhole and you'll spot a signed path on the opposite side of the road that you can take to walk to Troutbeck and Ambleside as a little extra to whatever expeditions you already have planned. And should the weather make outdoor activities unsafe (or just too unpleasant), your booking comes with complimentary entry to Choices Health Club, Troutbeck Bridge.

Just mention you're staying in Herdwick Cabin to enjoy a brilliantly equipped gym, choice of classes, a 15m level deck swimming pool and a relaxation zone with a roman sauna and fragranced steam room.

You can also get beauty treatments there too but you have to pay for those! So enjoy yourselves at Herdwick Cabin and don't be shy in letting us know if there is anything else we can help you with! Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of ?100.
