"Really great lodge, looks like it’s been modernised, kitchen well equipped, good location."
The thing letting this down is the smell… looking at previous reviews from as far back as 2017 this has been an issue and lies within the main bedroom en-suite. This lodge would be absolutely fantastic if that issue was sorted.
Thank you for your kind comments and glad you enjoyed the changes made to the lodge.
A professional contractor has identified the cause of the smell you refer to and has rectified the problem. We hope you will choose to visit Cedar Lodge in the future.

"The lodge was as described."
The en-suite bathroom smelled badly of damp so we barely used it. The hot tub became scummy if the jets were on high for a while which was off putting. The bedding whilst clean smelled of really scented fabric freshener which was quite overwhelming. Kitchen very well stocked with great appliances. Smart TV a great touch. We had a pleasant break.
Thank you for your review and pleased you had a pleasant break and for drawing our attention to the issues outlined. An investigation has been conducted into the damp smell and hopefully has been solved. The jets in the hot tub have been cleaned and I apologise if the smell of the scented clean bedding was to much for you, however this is the first time its been brought to our attention. We hope you will choose to visit Cedar Lodge in the future.

"Lodge was lovely and in a great location."
The main issue for us was the en suite bedroom had a damp, musty smell. Looking through the comments book in the lodge this had also been mentioned previously. There were thick dog hairs on the couch where the cushions joined and at the back so hadn't been hoovered properly. First steps into the lodge were very high so not good for people with mobility issues. Apart from these issues everyone enjoyed their stay.
Thank you for your review and pleased you enjoyed you stay and for drawing our attention to the issues outlined. We apologise the standards were not up to our expectations.
We have instructed the cleaners to be more diligent when cleaning the sofas and cushions. We will also check the bedrooms and make sure they are ventilated as sometimes overtime the humidity and musty smell can build up from drying wet towels on the radiators with the windows closed.
We hope you will choose to visit Cedar Lodge in the future.

"We had a great holiday, the only downside was the mouldy smell in the on-suite bathroom and main bedroom, there is mould on the ceiling in a lot of areas and bathroom had a very bad smell probably from drainage."
This isn't a criticism just an observation as the chalet was perfect apart from that, bigger than expected, well stocked with plates, glasses etc. The ironing board was broken and no mop and bucket to clean the floors especially when it rained. We would certainly book again and would recommend to family and friends.
Thank you for your kind comments and glad you enjoyed your stay. The smell was due to the heavy rainfall and the mould you refer to has been dealt with and the ironing board has been replaced. Pleased you enjoyed your stay and will choose to visit Cedar Lodge again in the future.

"Thank you for a great stay at Cedar lodge."
The lodge was clean and very comfortable. It is in a quiet area in the park at the end of a cul de sac which was great for the children to play. The hot tub is a great feature and it felt very private due to the location of the lodge. Good sized bedrooms and a very comfortable lounge and dining area.
Only slight niggle, is that the bar which holds the shower in the main bathroom is broken at the bottom and comes out when changing height of the shower. It could do with getting fixed so it doesn’t come out and potentially hurt someone.
I would recommend this lodge to anyone looking to stay at Whitecross bay. Access to the pool at Troutbeck was a great bonus.
Thank you for your kind comments and glad you enjoyed your stay. The shower bar has now been replaced and hope you will choose to visit Cedar Lodge again in the future.

"The accommodation was very good."
Aside from some minor maintenance issues like broken freezer handle, broken freezer drawers small drip from bath tap, the property is very well maintained. Facilities such a dishwasher, excellent oven and full size fridge/freezer make the stay more relaxing and was very much appreciated. The hot tub was excellent and checked every morning by maintenance. The double bed was extremely comfortable and the singles were comfortable. The 3 steps at the front of the property were larger than expected/suggested which made it difficult for our disabled guest however upon getting over that everything was easily accessible. It is very clear that a lot has been put into this property and it was very comfortable to stay in. I would recommend this to others however the cost for 3 days could be reviewed as it seems slightly overpriced.

"Decking was freshly varnished with no warning - our dog slipped and crashed into the furniture and our daughter slipped, smashing her face against the decking and spending most of her holiday with a fat lip and bruised forehead."
We also felt as though we were then treading varnish through the property as the bottom of our feet felt tacky.
The top step of the decking was loose and another trip hazard.
The carpet divider between the door bedroom and it's en suite wasn't screwed down properly, meaning screws would pop up and the door wouldn't shut properly.
The freezer needed de-icing as a build up of
ice was preventing the door from shutting properly, and the handle on the freezer was broken.
We only saw the hot tub maintenance man once, early in our stay and by the end of the week the water level was so low, the water was so cloudy and there was a build up of grime meaning we were unable to use the hot tub for the last two days of our stay.
We were also disappointed to find no hand soap, which is quite a basic thing we've always been left on other lodge holidays.
In addition, Parkdean did very little to manage kids running riot late at night (passed 11pm) chasing eachother and dogs with sticks, screaming and swearing as they did so.
A real shame as the lodge was otherwise very homely and has a lot of potential if looked after properly. White Cross Bay is a great location, with decent access to the lake, as well as nearby towns.
Would be happy to be contacted regarding our issues with the property and can provide photographic evidence if required.
Thank you for your feedback. We were sorry to hear of your daughter's and dog's mishaps. Ironically for the safety of our guests we had the decking sprayed with an anti-slip spray to prevent slips. We have since resolved the other issues mentioned. We now have a new fridge/freezer and are ensured the hot tub maintenance is continuing to follow the health and safety procedures. Guests are advised to contact LDLH as soon as they identify a problem not at the end of their holiday so any issues can be dealt with as soon as possible to enable them to enjoy their stay. We hope that you will choose to stay at Cedar Lodge in the future.

The 3 bedrooms are of a good size and all the beds have toppers which mean they are super comfy. The en suite to the master was a bonus. The kitchen/living area is large enough to accommodate 6 people...just. All the items provided worked well and the hot tub was maintained daily. The site itself has a bar/restaurant/swimming pool and entertainment which was okay but wasn't well advised as to what the acts actually did and staff didn't seem to have a clue either. The kids clubs are not well advertised either and they need booking and paying for, which isn't clear. The only downside I found was that doing a private booking meant I couldn't prebook the activities on site which I would have liked to have done.
Thank you for your feedback, we are glad you enjoyed your stay. We are sorry to hear that you were unable to pre-book leisure activities on site. We have information about the leisure facilities on our website and we recommend that guests check with the holiday park directly prior to arrival for specific information but we will look into making it clearer.

The one real problem which did cause me stress was the fact that the lodge lists that it has wifi and this was absolutely not the case! As a result, I missed two important meetings which had been scheduled because of the WiFi listing - In the info emailed it clearly states that there is Wifi, saying that you can log into the White Water Bay site, this was not the case and we did visit reception to check.
We were concerned too thst there was no "Welcome pack" on arrival and therefore no practicsl instructions regarding how to leave bedding/ towels etc.
Really hoping this will be sorted when we visit again.
Otherwise, the lodge is a great place to relax and be based.

We would have booked directly with the holiday park if we knew at the time of booking that is where we’d be staying. The WiFi did not work at all, which is not acceptable and is a problem the owners knew about. If one pays 100% of the fee, one expects 100% of the amenities to be available. The beds in the small bedrooms were uncomfortable as well. We were just disappointed overall and don’t feel it was value for money.

The main bathroom toilet seemed to have a leak so there was significant water damage to the bathroom floor and skirtings but again this did not affect our stay at all. A modernising refurb overall would bring this place right up to top class. The hot-tub and outdoor space was brilliant for our group, and location of the lodge meant that the evenings were peaceful and quiet. Good kitchen and bathroom amenities - towels, varied cookwear, dining-wear, some cleaning products and a disposable BBQ (we didn't get a chance to use though!) The lodge is a short walk to the park bar/restaurant however I would not rely on this place for eating - service was quite slow and quality not fantastic. Worth driving or a 45 mins walk into the town. The lakeside marina & BBQ area was great for us to use our paddle-boards and kayaks, and had a great sunny afternoon paddling across the lake to a secluded beach.

"Really lovely lodge positioned at the end of a small cul-de-sac so no passing traffic."
The lodge was very clean, warm and fresh. Quiet location although you could hear the traffic on the main road despite not being that close to it! Very handy for the park, swimming pool, restaurant etc. 5 minutes walk to the lake shore. White Cross Bay is ideally located for exploring the Lakes. The hot tub is a great addition to save having to hear 'I'm bored' from the kids as soon as you get back to the lodge! We also visited the swimming pool at Troutbeck Bridge which was an added bonus and also very clean and inviting. Great holiday and amazing weather for October!
What did you enjoy most about your stay?
Taking the kids up Loughrigg, first (mini) mountain conquered!

Would recommend getting the 555 bus from the bus stop at the entrance to WCB and going to Keswick, Grasmere & Ambleside. No parking hassles and you can get on and off as many times as you like.

"It is understandable that the carpets get dirty during the holiday season but we had our 10 month old grandson playing on the floor so we were just having to be careful of where he played."
A mop would have been handy, so that we could have mopped up in the bathroom and the kitchen, however there might have been one but we couldn't find it.
Apart for these two things, our holiday spent at the Cedar Lodge was wonderful. it was our first family holiday with our 10 month old grandson and we have a wonderful time, the hot tub was just perfect.
All the bedrooms were clean and tidy, beds were comfortable and the kitchen was so WELL equipped.
We would definitely recommend this Lodge to friends and family and we would definitely book this Lodge again.

We are definitely making this a yearly tradition and will always look to stay at Cedar Lodge. Decking looks tired but that is the only negative.

"Very disappointed with this booking."
This stay was booked for my partner's 30th birthday and we was very much looking forward to it. However my baby ended up in hospital and was treat for sepsis so we had to cancel, after ringing and explaining to the lady on the telephone and offering to move our stay to march and pay more, the owner still refused this - even after checking on the website there was full availability through march.
This meant we had to miss out on a birthday celebration, and the rest of the group still had to go to not lose their money.
I was told the owner said he would be out of pocket, even after we offered to pay more.
Definitely won't be recommending. Shame.
Due to losing the money on this, we now won't be able to reschedule his celebrations

The site is very clean. The (Pet Friendly) Lodge itself was nice on the outside and in a great location. The only downsides to the stay were: Carpets are heavily stained (Wear Socks), Vacuum Cleaner did not work, and not much storage for food. Unfortunately I wouldn't recommend with the carpets looking the way they are. I would suggest buying a Carpet Cleaner for Guests to use. Besides the Carpet, the Lodge was pretty clean with enough parking for 2-3 cars.

It was comfortable and in an ideal location. Our only complaint was that the boiler had broken down. So no hot water for washing or dishes unless boiling the kettle. After maintenance came and tried to fix it. After 3 days the boiler gave up. We were advised a new boiler would be fitted when went home on the Monday.
Hope its fixed for the next booking.
Would book again. I'll just check there is a new boiler fitted.

"This is the third year running that I have stayed at this lodge."
It is in a great location and is a fab sized lodge which I have always loved. The hot tub is also a bonus. Unfortunately it is now becoming a little tired and needs some attention to maintenance and cleanliness. On arrival the windows inside and out were filthy which in a lodge with this much glass really is noticeable. So I began by cleaning the windows to make my own stay feel more luxurious. Over the course of the holiday a number of maintenance issues became evident - extractor fan in the main bathroom was broken, dishwasher has a clip missing so the top shelf falls out when you use it, the light on the kitchen extractor fan was broken, dining table has a wobbly top, main bedroom ceiling has some mildew, pots and pans are chipped and the non stick is scratched, ornamental flowers are jaded. In addition throughout the stay when both doors were open there was a sewerage smell. I couldn't work out if this was a site problem although the rear lodge skirt was removed indicating that perhaps this was under repair. This is not the standard I have come to expect from this company and I have to say I was disappointed that this lodge does not appear to be being maintained to the standard it deserves given the number of issues. Needless to say I have not rebooked this lodge as usual. I could have complained whilst on site but did not want workmen throughout my stay so decided against this.

Thank you for your review, Joanne. As a regular guest to Cedar lodge we were deeply disappointed to hear that your stay was not to the usual high standard that you have come to expect, it appears a few things need addressing. As a direct result, our managing director has visited the lodge and taken steps to resolve the issues, as well as contacting the lodge owners. Occasionally we aren't aware of the odd maintenance issue arising between guest stays although as soon as we are made aware they are promptly addressed. Similarly, we were sorry to hear there was a cleaning issue that appears to have been overlooked - we have passed on your comments to the contract cleaners for their future reference. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused and we are very sorry that you were disappointed with your stay on this occasion. We are sure that should you choose to return in the near future you will have, once again, an enjoyable stay in a great lodge. Cedar Lodge is indeed in a super location, perfect for exploring the Lakes, as well as offering really good family accommodation; spacious, modern and well equipped.

"We spent a week here and it was lovely."
Everything in it you would need. Beds quite comfy and very clean. Location of lodge was great as you are at the end of cul-de-sac so not walked past a lot. Hot tub amazing..We had a small problem but I phoned the helpline and it was dealt with within a couple of hours. Would recommend the lodge to anyone.

"Stayed in Cedar Lodge over the weekend, made the most of the short break option which was perfect as we could check out at 5pm on the Sunday."
We thought the lodge was exceptionally clean, we liked the large hallway, particularly with the dogs - the beds were comfy and the children loved having a tv in their own rooms. Kitchen compact but well equipped and everything worked and obviously it was brilliant to have the hot tub. The only downside was parking with two cars which was tight and we are continually disappointed with the customer service at White Cross Bay. Stayed here before and no longer use the pool as impossible to get in and they still take the

Thank you, Emma for your review and letting us know you enjoyed your stay at Cedar Lodge. Indeed it is an exceptionally comfy lodge and with TV?s in all rooms it is perfect for growing teenagers and relaxing for grown ups! The lodge although it has enough space for two cars, one down the side and one at the front, we appreciate it may be a little testing when manoeuvring. Our apologies if this was the case. We were disappointed to read your comments about the Parks customer service and can only apologise. As we have no control over this service, we have passed on your comments to the Park Manager for his reference. We were pleased to hear you enjoy Choices Health Club, a super alternative to the onsite pool and is complimentary to all our guests. Thank you for your suggestion of visiting Ambleside for a day out - a true Lakeland town with plenty of shops, bars and cafes to relax in. And how better to end the day than in the hot tub? We look forward to welcoming you again in the near future.

Thank you for your very brief review, Leanne. We will pass on your comments to the park owners for their information. Regrettably White Cross Bay currently do not allow dogs into their bar and restaurant areas. With many superb pubs nearby welcoming dogs we always encourage guests to take a trip out and enjoy the great food and drink available off the park. You haven't said anything about Cedar Lodge itself although we presume you enjoyed staying there given your rating scores and the review title. It is a hugely popular lodge and a stay there is completed with a lovely hot tub to relax in after a day out exploring the area.

Great location of the lodge meant we were close to the pool and amenities and a very short walk to the fantastic lakeside. We would highly recommend the lodge and lake district lodge holidays. It was our first year last year and we are hooked, been back this year, although to a different lodge than in 2015, we are already looking to book for 2017. We love the place.

Ideal for families or couples wanting a self-catering holiday with the added advantage of onsite facilities. The lodge has been recently refurbished to provide modern accommodation and fully equipped for a relaxing break away. It can accommodate up to 6 and with the added bonus of a hot tub, it is perfect for unwinding (even in the rain!). Very kind of you to recommend the lodge to others, thank you.

"Had a wonderful time, lodge was perfect, for our visit to see our grandchildren for the 1st time."
We came over from Canada, and I decided to rent a lodge so we could all stay together, and my husbands family could also come to visit for a day as they live in Whitehaven. The lodge was perfect size, for 4 adults, and 1toddler , and a infant, We used the outside patio from sun up to sun down, very quite area, walk down to lake was nice. Ceder lodge has every you need, for cooking, your own meals, which we did as with little ones too hard go out at night, plus very relaxing just sitting on deck. Being Canadian, I drink coffee, so we did bring our own coffee maker. Looking forward to going back in a few years.

"Had really enjoyable stay and will return again."
Only negatives were annoyingly loud floorboards so you couldn't walk past bedrooms without waking everyone up,
shower not working properly in en suite and constant smell of wet dogs.
Although the latter only bothered me and not the rest of the guests.
It is a lovely place to stay though.

We have also contacted the contract cleaners for the lodge to make them aware of the possible dog smell. Please accept our apologies. The lodge is a super choice for a relaxing break, set in a quiet area of the park and having a homely feel with the luxury of a private hot tub - a lovely way to rest and unwind, especially after a day on Tree Top Nets.

And the location is perfect for exploring the area, or just to take in the splendid views of the lake and fells.

"There was 5 adults that stayed at the lodge, and there was plenty of room for all of us."
Upon entering the lodge, it exceeded our expectations. Was beautiful inside, and very homely. Modern, and extremely clean and tidy. Beds were so comfortable, and it had everything we needed and more. I, personally am disabled and on crutches, I was slightly weary of the decking, especially with having the hot tub, but I found it fine being extra cautious. I would definitely recommend staying here, it's in a brilliant area and so close to all the amenities. All in all, 10/10.. Lovely long weekend spent here.

And the pooch of course. We loved everything about it. The lodge was like a home away from home, wanting for nothing. Extremely clean and well looked after. Hot tub is always a welcome treat at the end of a day's walking. Great location in the park and park is in a great location too. Short drive to some lovely walks as well as the nearby villages. Even with the boathouse out of action for most of our stay, the Owners Lodge was always a pleasure to sit in and have a drink. James and Marc behind the bar made the end of a celebratory night out much more enjoyable. Really looking forward to booking our next stay :-)

The lodge had everything we need as a group of 5 adults and a little one.
Plenty of space, comfy beds and the dishwasher was a bonus.
The hotub was probably the highlight for us all though, perfect for relaxing after a long day walking.
Great facilities on site too, we made us of the swimming pool everyday.
The lodge is also based in a great location between Ambleside and Bowness on Windermere. Both a five minute drive or 30/35 minute walk away.
By the end of the holiday we were planning when we could visit again, we'll definitely be back. Thank you.

"We stayed for a long weekend and there were 11 of us and 1 dog spread across 2 lodges."
We had more than enough space and were impressed with the size of the bedrooms and the living area. The kitchen does not have a lot of space if you are wanting to cook but that wasn't too much of an issue for us as we only made breakfast in there. Even though it was March we were lucky enough to have good weather were able to make good use of the hot tub which was clean and well maintained and very enjoyable to use. Lake District Lodge Holidays emailed and contacted us several times before our holiday to make sure we had everything we needed. The first we night realised that we had no hot water or gas and called the number on our booking info and someone came out within 30 minutes to replace the gas bottle and then we were telephoned the next day to check if everything had been sorted.

"After looking at numerous dog friendly accommodation in the Lake District this property ticked all our boxes and it did not fail our expectations."
The lodge is spacious, well equipped, location on the site is perfect and also perfect location for exploring the surrounding areas in the lakes. The only downfall was that the dishwasher was not working during our stay. The kids loved the hot tub and also loved having a TV in their bedrooms. It is only a few minutes walk to the on site club and also we could watch the kids playing on the playground from the lodge. This is the first holiday we have taken our dog on and he had an brilliant time, we all had an amazing holiday! . Could not recommend this lodge enough. We will certainly be booking again

Didn't use the facilities on site as we were either out & about, in the hot tub or lounge area.
Didn't really bother us but it is close to the play area so I'd imagine it could get noisy in school holiday times.

"Lodge was generally excellent, been recently refurbished to great modern standard."
Some sky channels big bonus. Only let downs were small items we went to use tin opener all other kitchen items of high good brand quality the tin opener however was type from pound shop and broken big problem at 7 pm. Salt cellar plastic seal missing. Both these problems most likely caused my previous guests and not noticed by owners. Central heating not working in main and bedroom 2, the control valves seem to locked in place. We had one cold night. One other observation and applied to other dog friendly lodges our 6 month old beddlington terrier (not a small breed)could force his way past the decking bars and escape luckly we had long lead to secure him on decking. Park shop extremely expensive 89p for tin of garden peas 69p for small tub of salt. We took dog to pub one warm night sitting out side not a problem but in darkness bit extreme. Light present but not on.

The booking process was easy and all subsequent correspondance was sent through in good time and was very comprehensive in the detail. Check in at reception on the day was very efficient with very friendly and competent staff.
The lodge itself was modern, clean and well appointed. The bathroom was good, although the shower was quite tricky to maintain a comfortable temperature. The outdoor space was ideal, and the hot tub was amazing, lovely and warm.
Would definitely stay here again.

"We had a brilliant time at the lodge and plan to go back again."
Prices in the winter were brilliantly low and just what we needed as our Christmas gift to each other.
Our only problem was the bed being a double, my OH is tall and so was hanging off the end of the bed and being used to a super king bed we felt a little cramped in. But that is just us being too spoilt.
The cabin was immaculate, and very spacious. So much more than we were expecting. And we loved the hot tub, it was lovely sitting out in it on an evening.
Would definitely recommend.
Can't say much about the rest of the site/facilities as we took our dog and didn't want to leave him.
What did you enjoy most about your stay?
Hot tub and being able to bring our dog along
What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests?
We didn't really leave the cabin / hot tub...

"We stayed for 3 nights (wish was longer) and really enjoyed it."
The lodge is a real home from home with everything we needed. Even though it was cold when we visited the lodge was easy to keep warm and cosy. Loved the hot tub. It was great being able to bring our dog with us. Had a really relaxing time and didn't want to leave. Very close to Windermere and Ambleside which we love visiting anyway. Can't wait to return.
What did you enjoy most about your stay?
Very comfortable lodge and we had lovely relaxing break away from everything. Hot tub a bonus.
What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests?
Brockhole (Windermere visitor centre) is always good for a visit.
We were delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay at Cedar Lodge and rated all aspects of your stay as 5 out of 5. We look forward to welcoming you back very soon (complete with your returning guests discount!)

"Within a matter of hours of arriving, myself and the rest of the party declared that we would definitely be coming back!"
This is the first I had stayed in a lodge before and it was amazing. I have never stayed anywhere so clean, the facilities were amazing and the site was lovely. I truly believe that lake district lodge holidays under sell themselves. All rooms were a great size and we felt very comfortable.

"Cedar lodge was a very good choice for us very well equipped and for us it was in a very good position in the park, in the open."
Many of the lodges are under trees and would be shaded in the summer months.
Very clean and very well equipped and we will look forward to a return trip.
Booking was very easy and we where kept up to date by e mail with all we needed to make a trouble free visit
What did you enjoy most about your stay?
clean, hot tub, local for several town centers

"Lodge was lovely very central but a little too over looked, felt we were being watched by a neighbouring property."
Hot tub was great although a beer bottle was pushed into one of the jets. It would be good if some screening was put around hot tub maybe some potted bamboo.
All of the beds could do with a softer mattress even my little people said they were very hard, maybe even mattress topers.
Kitchen was really well equiped, liked the plastic bowls and glasses they were ideal for the little ones.
Tv in the smaller room needs to be lower to use the dvd player lm tall and struggled to reach it.
All in all a nice stay but lodge could do with a few tweaks.
What did you enjoy most about your stay?

What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests?
Brockhole
Thank you for your review Emma. We have passed back your comments to the owners who have now provided mattress toppers. The comfort of beds can be a personal preference and we were sorry it wasn't quite right for you on this occasion. Thank you for pointing this out along with a couple of other things which will be given attention. The contractors who look after the hot tub have been made aware of the beer bottle. Apologies for this. The lodges are in close proximity to each other and everything to make them a little more private without spoiling the experience is considered. Your suggestions for a few 'tweaks' are welcomed and thank you for these. Cedar Lodge does offer lovely, comfortable accommodation with the benefit of a lovely hot tub to relax in.

The whole atmosphere is so relaxing

The Brockhole visitor centre with its tree top trek is a good day out and it is only a ten minute walk from White Cross Bay
Thank you so much for your review. It is always pleasing when our guests rate all aspects of their stay as 5 out of 5 and had an enjoyable stay at Cedar Lodge. The hot tub is great to relax in after a day out.

"I was very pleasantly surprised with both the park and location."
Very convenient for most of the eastern lakes 'must see' villages. The park facilities were very good and the proximity to the lake was lovely and serene despite the number of other guests. The actual lodge was in a lovely quiet location and had every modern amenity. The hot tub was an added bonus. The furnishings were all excellent and the only 'gripe' I have is the comfort of the bed in the main room. A mattress is such a personal thing and I'm used to a very well sprung bed, however this was like sleeping on hardwood, which I know some people like. Can't please all the people etc..
What did you enjoy most about your stay?

Thank you for taking time to review your recent stay at Cedar Lodge and we were pleased you enjoyed your stay. It is difficult to get a balance on how firm or soft a mattress is as this a personal choice, we are sorry that this wasn't best for you. The lodge is fully equipped to enjoy a self catering stay in a very convenient location with the added bonus of a relaxing hot tub!
