“What is there to say, except my teenagers and I had an absolutely amazing week staying at Thirlmere Lodge!”
This was my 4th visit to White Cross Bay and it was definitely the best by far. Everything was perfect from start to finish. I was worried about the £400 housekeeping bond tbh because we haven't had to do this in the past, but I needn't have been, because the owner kept his word and the bond was immediately returned. I understand why it's requested because it is a beautiful lodge, with all the beautiful added luxuries such as hot tub, fancy fire, leather sofas, glass dining table, and you have to respect this gorgeous property! The bedding was lovely and smelling fresh, beautiful white Egyptian towels, the showers were brilliant, the dishwasher was an added bonus, a lovely big fridge freezer, and TVs in every bedroom. My son was overjoyed with your spare phone chargers, and all the board games and playing cards, excellent idea. Then there's the roof top terrace, we were so lucky with the sun, and gosh what a suntrap, I felt guilty sunbathing up there because not every lodge has them and the kids joined in the sunbathing because they could put their treats on the table, and the reclining chairs made them settle, nice for them to get off their phones and have some vitamin D! And see the magnificent jets going over the lake, wowzers, creating happy memories that we don't see at home!!
The kids used the on site swimming pool every day, the sauna, steam and jacuzzi was perfect for us adults too, the games arcade cost me a fortune but we won about 20 keyrings, the food on site was perfect for lunches, the shop is cheap and very well stocked, the lake on site is pretty at night, and Windermere, Ambleside, Keswick, just stunning, absolutely stunning, best UK holiday by far, we will return year after year, yes I highly recommend you stay at Thirlmere Lodge in the beautiful Lake District. Thank you Barry and team, we'll be back next year ☺️☺️☺️
