• "We had a lovely stay at Garuda."

  The lodge was well laid out and comfortable. There were a few very minor things that we thought could be improved however this didn’t cause any major inconveniences. One being that there was no where for us to store the dried food that we had brought, all of the cupboards were full of cups, glasses, plates etc. we thought there were too many when the lodge is designed for 6 people one each of everything would have been enough. Also I wasn’t able to find a charger for the Hoover, having a dog and a baby, this would have been useful. The WiFi is also terrible however I appreciate this is a parc issue and is not something the owners can control. Also we were there to relax and have screen breaks so it wasn’t a huge issue! Overall however our stay was really enjoyable and I would rebook in the future. Thank you!

• "The holiday accommodation was good & spacious."

  Had most equipment you needed in kitchen but only 2 glass wine glasses the rest were plastic which isn’t ideal indoors to enjoy a nice glass of wine The accommodation was clean apart from the oven which was in need of a clean & the fridge was leaking water onto the food . We enjoyed our stay at Garuda & mentioned these negative things as they can very easily be put right & would have had no complaints about the property if they were .

• "Lovely property and very clean."

  The only issue we had was the shower doors in the ensuite need adjusting as didn't close fully allowing floor to get wet (minor inconvenience only). Otherwise lodge had everything you could need and would definitely consider using again.

• "Perfect absolutely everything you need for a self catering holiday."

  The site was good too we loved how you could walk to the edge of lake Windermere from the site and there is a little picnic area and how dog friendly the site was - Penny was allowed in the bar and restaurant which made a nice change from the last park dean holiday we had

  The lodge was clean and comfortable the wifi wasn't good it had smart TV but couldn't use it as kept stopping the site it's self we thought they had packed too many lodges on the site

• "No wifi Limited access to pool and extremely difficult to book activities as no access to parkdean website and most activities booked before our arrival."

  Limited ability to book in person.

  Thank you for your feedback, as the complimentary WIFI is owned by the park and nothing to do with the owner or Lakelovers we have no control over this. - The owner relations team Property Owner

• "W we have just returned from white cross holiday park."

  We are thoroughly enjoying ourselves however I do feel I should make you aware of a few things - the outside picnic table and chairs are in a bad state of repair, one of the mattresses in the first twin room needs replacing due to springs coming through and the hoover does not pick up very good. The tap in the bathroom is very loose. The gate going into property is also broken at the latch. We have booked again for next year and I hope you don’t take my comments negatively. Elaine Sibbald

• "Beautiful lodge and would definitely return."

  Only criticism really is that the cupboards are so over stocked which of course is great that you have everything but there is no space to store any food that you bring when staying for a week. Also the water for the showers/bath was extremely poor some days it was a trickle. Not ideal when there was three females needs to wash hair.

  Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. The owner will be able to see your comments and act where necessary. Unfortunately, the water pressure can be an issue on the park with many properties using facilities at the same time. We are glad that you enjoyed your holiday and look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Lake District Lodge Holidays Owner Relations Property Owner

• "Sykes have been brilliant at prearrival information and helpful guides to the local area."

  The property is really well equipped for a family. We've never had such well stocked kitchen equipment and having a hoover and dustpan is really helpful on a active holiday to maintain a clean living space. Having the dishwasher maximises quality time and a washing machine so handy to rinse and spin wetsuits etc after a full day on the lake. If we'd known there would be a hairdryer and USB points it would've saved some packing but a pleasent surprise (as was the vase of fresh flowers on arrival!). The lodge is ideally placed for walking to Windermere, Ambleside and Bowness so being able to ditch the car was great too. We will definitely be using Sykes again and probably to stay at Garuda. Thank you

  Lovely lodge in lovely grounds , the house keeping team we’re fantastic as I had left all mri clothes in the wardrobe when leaving to come home , I was really upset and cross with myself but the team were fantastic in getting my clothes back to me , the only area I would say needs improving is the communication when we had a query with our booking , I was told a few times I would get a phone call but never did but then I would find a message on my booking which I had no idea was there and was not told this would be there way of communicating back , this did add frustration to the holiday experience but other than trust it was a lovely break

• "We stayed here from the 4th to the 11th August 2023 and was very impressed with the whole place not just the cabin."

  The cabin was spacious and had everything we needed from the washing machine to the kitchen utensils, it was clean and very well presented. This property location is ideal as it’s only a short drive to Windermere main town and traveling anywhere else it’s quite central we found. There is one parking space which is quite tight but it’s right outside the door so to me that’s great

  The lodge was clean, cosy and modern. Nice location with only a short drive into Windermere. Well equipped and kitchen was supplied with all dishes/cutlery/cups etc, even dishwasher tablets for the dishwasher. Enough parking for 2 cars, albeit tight. Only thing, wish the Wi-Fi coverage was better at the park.

  Well equipped Pity we had to pay for a high chair when we could have taken our own Nothing to do with the property itself but we couldn’t use the pool- freezing, no shallow end and 4 year old got told off for wanting to play with the inflatable toys in the pool!!

  Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that you had to pay for a high chair and also the issues surrounding the pool. The park is a separate company from ourselves however we will pass on your feedback. Property Owner

• "Garuda really is a home from home, everything anyone would need is already there including an outside tap to rinse boots and the dog!"

  The lodge is spotlessly clean and well maintained. We shopped for food at the local Booths, had a meal at the Flying Fleece in Ambleside, walked up the nearby hills and around the far side of the lake.

  Thank you for your kind feedback. We are glad to hear that you found everything that you needed. It sounds like you had a lovely stay, and we hope to welcome you back again. Property Owner
