• "Inside the lodge was lovely, clean and fresh."

  (Although mop needs replacing as rusty and broken) Hot tub well maintained and very much enjoyed using this. However did notice this lodge from the outside wasn’t as well maintained as the surrounding lodges. Decking very old and rotten in some places. In need of some repairs, particularly the spindles and deck area near the double doors. Spindles falling out and our dog got out on the first day of our stay. Would love to see all this repaired and freshened up to the standard of the surrounding lodges, we would definitely return and stay in this lodge then.

  It is my second time here. Catered for baby with travel cot and high chair. Nice bottle of prosecco on arrival lovely friendly touch. Only issue we had was the lighting getting down the steps in the dark with the pushchair. Maybe some stair light could be useful. Overall beutifull experience for me, my daughter and grandchild.

• "Very nice lodge in the lovely Whitecross bay resort."

  But at £1400 a week , I was expecting the place to be a lot cleaner. The pots and pans and cutlery were not very clean. The decking was not very clean and could do with a good steam clean. Hot tub jets were not all working. Yes I would stay again but I suggest they can afford maybe 2 cleaners to give it a good clean between lets . I know there is not much time between people leaving 10.00am to new arrivals 16.00 but at £1400 a week to rent this place maybe clean it a lot better

  Hi thank you for your comments above , we are glad you enjoyed your stay at Fir Tree Lodge & would return . However just to address your comments on turnover between guests we do have two cleaners cleaning the lodge our cleaners are very thorough & normally we never have any issues regarding cleanliness . If the pots etc where not up to standard i can only apologise , this though is down to the previous guests , it is there responsibilty to ensure cutlery etc is clean everything needed is on hand for guests . The decking has in the last month been treated with algon to emove algae & indeed been jet washed twice since opening , as you can appreciate its difficult in the country to keep it pristine at all times . We take on board all comments & appreciate your feedback , and would be delighted if you chose to visit us again . Property Owner

• "We had a lovely time during our stay at the lakes."

  We stayed earlier in the year but on a different site. Our previous accommodation was a lodge also with a hot tub. With this to compare to there are several things that could benefit from some attention in your lodge. I’ll start with the positives, which are the fact that the master bedroom mattress was extremely comfortable, we had an amazing sleep every night. I was thrilled with how lovely the lodge smelt upon arrival, with bringing our dog along I always get a bit worried that the accommodation will smell of pets which isn’t what I want regardless of having a pet myself. You could not tell it was a lodge that accepted pets so 5* to the cleaners there. The general cleanliness was good and quality of outdoor furniture good also, we got to enjoy the sunshine on a comfy and sturdy piece of furniture. The hot tub very enjoyable too. The negatives - dishwasher was out of salt and rinse aid, non provided under the sink so these need to be checked when the lodge is cleaned as pots came out dirty. The hair drier didn’t work. The tv in the lounge constantly froze when trying to change channels so we’d have to turn it off at the wall (our children just wanted to enjoy a little telly before bed and in a morning before our adventures began, but this proved difficult). Some badly cracked floor tiles in the main bathroom. The shower screen couldn’t be opened in the main bathroom, when trying to assist my son in the shower the shower screen started to tip rather than open like a door which made showering him difficult. The wardrobe doors in the master bedroom would not open and shut, again fallen off the runners and stiff, weren’t useable. There was some random stuff just dumped in the bottom of the single bedroom wardrobe too, looked messy. And just some general bits that looked tired and could do with replenishing. For example, rusty toilet roll holder in the en-suite and the bottom of the door in the en-suite was damaged and peeling. The kitchen could be better equipped, the knives were very blunt, couldn’t slice bread with the bread knife. The fridge was on maximum when we arrived and we understand why because it doesn't keep items chilled to the temperature you’d expect so I don’t feel this is working to the capacity it should. Overall we enjoyed our stay but when you look back at the issues we’ve listed there is a fair bit that you wouldn't expect to find in that condition. Lovely well maintained site, lovely staff in the bar.

  Thank you for feedback. We are glad that you had a lovely time. The owner has taken on board your comments and will be addressing these. Property Owner

  When stripping bedding off the one small beds quit had stains on it. It was advertised with washer/ dryer but it was just a washer so couldn’t dry washing as it was raining.Fire controls had no batteries and the back of control was missing,The TV wouldn’t allow you to go to menu to see what was on.The wardrobe doors once opened was kept open because they wouldn’t slide . Was so good that you could take your dog into the club house first place we have been to that was allowed.We paid £1008 pounds and was disappointed .

• "When we arrived at Fir Tree lodge everything was clean and tidy, however, I noticed that one of the sliding wardrobe doors of the master bedroom had come off its track, therefore, making it unusable."

  I emailed Sykes informing them of this and also the handle on the toaster didn't stay down, you had to hold it. I never received a reply. I was glad that there were only two of us staying in the lodge, I think it would have been far too cramped with four people. Having stayed at Fir Tree lodge I don't agree with the many reviews raving about the place, I think it could do with an upgrade. The outside definately needed the decking power washing and the table and chairs at the side of the property had not been cleaned for some time. We were fortunate with good weather and I wanted to sit outside but I was not going to tackle cleaning the table. I have stayed in quite a few of Sykes properties and have always been more than satisfied, but after this holiday it has made me very wary if I can trust the reviews for future properties.

  Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. Unfortunately, we have no record of an email from you so were not able to arrange for maintenance to attend to resolve the issues raised. The owner of the lodge visits every few weeks to check all is well and has already power washed the decking twice this year. He will check on the lodge again next weekend.. Updated reply: The owner of Fir Tree Lodge has visited and we can confirm that the toaster was in fine working order. The wardrobe was back on its runners. The decking is also looking clean and tidy.

• "We stayed for a week returning 19th June."

  A clean, comfortable lodge with lots of added items (thanks for the wine!). The best feature for us was the large patio and hot-tub and we could park right outside our lodge. The lodge also does not get overly hot at night if the window is open (we had hot weather which was fortunate for us). Unfortunately the en-suite 'body shower' did not work - the temperature was boiling hot and could not be reduced. The maintenance team came quickly but said this was the owners responsibility as they had a separate contract and they would inform the owner. I explained I really needed this shower as to work as I had injured myself on the other shower but I did not hear back. I followed up 3 days before the end of our holiday and they promised to fix or compensate but heard nothing. Fortunately there was another shower over the bath but due to my back problem I had already struggled to get into the shower and cut my leg on the bath shower screen - the maintenance man trimmed the edge of the screen but beware as this is still sharp and the hand rails on the bath are low (this is why the cubicle would have been better). If we had been sharing the lodge with another guest(s) we would have all had to share one shower and that would have been horrible. Luckily it was just us and our doggie (we did not use the smaller bedroom). If it was not for the shower I would have given this top rating throughout as the patio was wonderful - fully enclosed for our dog and great hot-tub. We had a lovely relaxing time. However, the holiday was tarnished by an irresponsible maintenance team who alluded to the fact they already knew the shower had problems but still the shower had not been fixed. This should not be advertised with 2 showers.

  On the down side, the dishwasher was rubbish. We had to go & buy our own salt, rinse aid and tablets which we’ve never had to do before in any self catering property. However it still didn’t work properly, 4 separate washes of the same load didn’t clean so we ended up cleaning by hand. A minor point but nevertheless worth mentioning. We couldn’t use the shower in the en-suite because the temperature was scalding hot, I mean really scalding hot and no matter how much we tried to alter it, it wouldn’t change. The electric fused one night, but it was swiftly rectified by the ground maintenance team. We appreciate as far as the dishwasher & shower go, we did not report it to maintenance because tbh we were up & out every morning. A special mention for the wi-fi which is abysmal & needs looking at. Fortunately we were there for a complete break away so it did not effect us but I am certain other guests with children will find it extremely problematic and frustrating. They are just minor points which need looking at. Overall it was great value for money. We would definitely go back, we had a great week and if those points we’ve raised were all good it would have been 10/10.

  Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the location of Fir Tree Lodge. We have now had a brand new shower installed, we apologise for any problems the old shower caused you during your stay. Regarding the dishwasher, we will take a look at this when we are there next, we do provide dishwasher tablets but maybe there wasn't enough for your stay, again we are sorry if this caused an inconvenience to your stay. There is an ongoing issue with the wifi which is completely out of our control and is in the hands of the park, we have raised this previously and are aware that despite having a new router installed the signal is not the best.

  It has a huge enclosed deck which gave our dog plenty of room to run about on and watch the rabbits from. The one thing we did notice is the railing that runs along the tree side of the decking was loose so we made sure our dog couldn’t go near that part as it wouldn’t take much for it to come down. The hot tub was very private and lovely to relax and unwind in. The lodge has ample facilities if you want to cook while you are there. The bed was really comfortable and we had great nights sleeps. We have been to the park a number of times and would definitely book this lodge again.

  Many thanks for your generous feedback on our lodge Fir Tree , we are delighted you enjoyed your stay .

  However points we had issues with include the en suit shower and washing machine which were not working. This was really disappointing as a family of 4. These home from home comforts were part of what drew us to this cabin. When I couldn't place an order in the restaurant due to either the wifi or app not working, I was told by a female bar staff to keep trying. I wish I could remember her exact words as they were quite patronising. This was also really frustrating as I had been trying for about 15 minutes and had a hungry 3 year old to contend with. The manager who helped with allergy information was great however. My husband was also felt there was no flexibility in the choice of sky sports in the bar when he enquired. It was a shame to also see some litter about the resort.

  Plenty of spare bedding & towels. Lots of kitchen utensils & domestic items (iron/airer/etc). The washer/dryer wasn’t working which was a shame because we have 2 young children & a dog. Would have been useful for trying hot tub towels/swimwear. There were things provided which we hadn’t necessarily expected (washing up liquid/antibac spray/tea towels/cloths/kitchen roll) but not things which we would have expected (spare bin bags/toilet rolls). A more accurate list of what’s provided would be useful. We’d have had no problem in taking these things but we ended up taking things we didn’t need & not taking things we did need.

Overall we could not fault our break away. Thank you to the owners. What did you enjoy most about your stay?

• "Thankfully we had booked our break at the same time as other family members as our Fridge stopped working while we were out, We had to take our food to our families lodge and keep it in their lodge and keep going back and forth."

  I did try to ring the help numbers provided but after being on hold for over 20 minutes each time I just accepted to do things this way to save stress and further waste of time and to deal with the situation when home. Luckily our families oven stopped working so we were able to repay the favour and not feel like we were putting on them too much. However I do feel to have to do this on our holiday was totally ridiculous and really not good enough at all. Other than that the lodge was very presentable, clean, tidy, comfortable and modern. The resort itself was excellent other than one member of staff giving us incorrect information about swimming, I believe he was night staff. We followed the advice given and went to book swimming the next day, when we were told we couldn What did you enjoy most about your stay?

  Deposits this supposedly being a busy time we found the park to be quiet and peaceful which was perfect. The park staff were friendly, inviting and helpful and the park is well maintained and conveniently located with both the beautiful towns of Windermere and Ambleside both a short drive away with Wray Castle being a worthy visit!

  Thank you for your review, Ryan and we were pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay at Fir Tree Lodge. Regrettably the free wifi provided by White Cross Bay can be a bit hit and miss and we do make guests aware along with the fact that some mobile phone coverage is also patchy in the area. Although this can be an inconvenience for some, many people quite like being 'off the grid' for a complete break. The new owners of the lodge are undertaking some nice improvements and this will include a new mattress in the master bedroom. Fir Tree Lodge is a popular place to stay and firm favourite with guests enjoying a quiet location within White Cross Bay with that all important outside hot tub. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner

• "Such a lovely lodge in such a lovely location."

  Was a holiday to refresh the mind. On arrival the staff at the holiday site were amazing and location of the site was perfect for travelling around the lake district. The hot tub was lovely touch and nice and clean. The hamper was a nice welcome to the lodge with a taste of the local foods. It's really hard to fault this lodge atall. The only slight niggle I would say is the positioning of the lodge for sun light. Unfortunately the decking with the hot tub is very secluded which was nice in the way of it feeling private however you do lack the sun shine in the evening. Thankyou for an amazing holiday will definitely be returning What did you enjoy most about your stay?

• "Nice week in a lovely location but we did have some issues."

  This was our second stay at this lodge, the first time we had no issues. However, this time we did.

The floor was dirty with mud when we first walked in which was extremely disappointing. What did you enjoy most about your stay?

We are sorry for any inconvenience caused, although we are confident that should you choose to return everything will once again be to your satisfaction.

Issue with the park - my wife is disabled and uses a mobility scooter, we found it difficult going around the park due to the speed humps which cover the whole of the roadway, could do with having a smooth bit on the edge for scooters/wheelchairs/pushchairs etc. also the bins were constantly full, so bags left all over including dirty nappies!

• "We stayed here for 4 nights over the Easter holidays with our 2 children and dog."

  The lodge was clean and ready on arrival and had everything we would need for our stay including games etc for our children! The hot tub was fantastic, nice and private too so you aren't on show to passers by!!! The only thing we would mention especially for families is that the layout of this lodge means that there is literally no living space in the lounge area for kids to Play etc. That being said there is a nice large decking area outside and the site itself has a park and games area. We would still return here as the hot tub was fab! 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?

  The sub zero temperatures did not dampen our spirits as we made the most of the 40 degree max temp in the hot tub whilst the snow fell around us. The homely living room with fire and superb power shower in the en-suite ensured an end to the goosebumps from the storm. Needless to say, we cannot recommend it high enough. Great place to unwind with beautiful scenery on your doorstep. We will be back. Thank you What did you enjoy most about your stay?

  The lodge was clean, warm, and most of all very comfortable and felt extremely homely. Very nice touch to have a couple of Xmas trees up too. Location was good, and the hot tub was bliss. Only slight downside was that the wifi signal isn't accessible from inside the lodge, and if we wanted to use the wifi we would need to walk 50 yards down the path to connect to it. All in all, it is a lovely lodge and we certainly will be returning. What did you enjoy most about your stay?

  Thank you for your review and leaving such kind comments, Sean. We were pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay at Fir Tree Lodge although it is noted that the wi-fi was not as reliable as expected. We do inform guests prior to a stay that even though White Cross Bay have a free wi-fi connection, from our experience it can be unreliable due to the terrain, weather conditions and number of people using it. We trust it did not impact too much on your stay and we apologise for any inconvenience it may have caused. As you kindly point out Fir Tree is indeed very comfortable and homely and with the addition of a hot tub, where better to be for a relaxing break in the Lakes? We look forward to welcoming you again in the near future. Property Owner

  Everything there we needed. Corner sofa unit was especially comfortable - lovely and squishy. Beds comfortable. Nice and quiet. Took our Website and was great as gated and fenced all around. 5 minute walk to edge of Lake Windermere with wonderful views.

• "What a beautiful lodge!"

  It was spotlessly clean, quiet, modern and comfortable! It was equipped with everything that we needed (even board games)! We loved everything about it! Our stay at the lodge coincided with a heat wave and the only negative we found was that the lodge became very hot but that's nothing that a fan or two wouldn't fix! The location of the park was amazing with stunning views! The onsite facilities are brilliant! Kids entertainment and even childminding allowed for a relaxing evening in the hot tub! We would definitely recommend to anybody and hope to return in the future! Thank you for a great holiday!! What did you enjoy most about your stay? The relaxing hot tub! What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Brockhole on Windermere which is less than a 5 minute drive away, lovely walk and views!

  We appreciate your feedback comments Susan and are sorry there were a couple of things which weren?t quite right for your stay. The cleaning should have been to a high standard and we were sorry to hear that on this occasion it seems this was not the case. It is unusual for this lodge although your comments have been passed on to the contract cleaners for their information. As you chose not to contact us during or immediately after your stay it is difficult to substantiate the impact this had. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused. Further to your comments about the Park, we will pass these onto the Park management for their reference although as the Park is located between Ambleside and Windermere it is ideally placed to venture out to one of the many pubs, restaurants, bars, and coffee shops nearby that welcome dogs. Windermere is less than 2 miles and delighted to hear you recommend visiting. Fir Tree Lodge offers guests the chance to relax and unwind in luxury accommodation- beautifully furnished - and with the addition of a hot tub. Property Owner

• "We stayed at white cross bay for 7 nights for a walking break with our dog."

  The lodge was very cosey and tastefully decorated. There was plenty of utensils to use in the kitchen and it was well equipped with pans and trays for cooking. I have stayed in lodges were you don't even get that!! We were a 20 minute walk into Windermere and 30 min walk to Ambleside so for us the location was ideal with having a dog. We did pay 15 additional charge for the pool and gym facilities but the pool was quite small and very busy with children. But I suppose if you get at the right time it is ample for a leisurely swim. There is an online shop which was well stocked and reasonably priced. I would return here again and would recommend to others. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Walks What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Walk to grasmere

  Thank you for your review, Michaela. We were pleased to hear you enjoyed your week at Fir Tree Lodge and kind of you to comment on the high standard of accommodation. With reference to the pool onsite, the complex does charge a one off fee of ?15.00 per lodge although all guests of LDLH have complimentary use of Choices Health Club at nearby Troutbeck Bridge. It is very convenient to the Parks and has an excellent pool as well as a sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi and a brilliant gym ? and for those feeling extra active classes are available too! It is a superb alternative. Maybe worth a visit next time? Fir Tree Lodge is beautifully designed and equipped for a relaxing and comfortable stay in the heart of the Lake District, a wonderful destination for a holiday.
