  • "We stayed in Honeysuckle Lodge for 3 nights for my birthday weekend."

    The lodge itself was lovely- very comfortable and felt homely. Overall it was very clean, however we used the oven on our first night and there were a couple of chips in there from a previous stay. We liked that there was a tv in each bedroom and one in the living room, however the one in the living room did not work. I reported this at the time of arrival but nobody got back to me for the duration of our stay regarding this. I was disappointed that the main tv did not work and that nobody got back in contact with me regarding this. The hot tub was a lovely addition and was well enjoyed, but not all of the jets seemed to be working. This did not affect the use of the hot tub however. The Wi-Fi worked very well at the lodge and overall we would recommend staying here.

    First time in the Lake District with my wife would thoroughly recommend to anyone Only thing I can think to improve maybe would be providing some extra bedding such as sheets and pillows and maybe some shower gels etc Otherwise a fantastic stay

    Spacious, clean and comfortable beds and furnishings. Fully equipped with everything needed. Hot Tub was a bonus too. 2 minutes from the lake and only 5 minutes from the facilities. Would highly recommend and most certainly stay again :-)

    The lodge is really close to the main building and the marina making it the perfect location within White Cross Bay.

  • "This is an absolutely beautiful Lodge, spotlessly clean and contained everything that you could possibly need."

    I have only given 4 star (would have been 5) as we had a couple of issues, one with the hot tub and also the dishwasher wasn’t working. The hot tub was extremely loud throughout the night, we hardly slept, instructions how to use it would have been good. We did figure it out ourselves in the end. Messaged Sykes for help the morning after arrival and were told onsite maintenance would contact us. Up until departure we never heard a thing from them which was very disappointing. Despite this we would return.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear that had an enjoyable stay at Honeysuckle Lodge. We take all comments on board, and will be looking into the points raised. The Lake District Lodge Holidays Owner Relations Team Property Owner

    Expensive for use of small extremely busy pool, we were informed we could use the restaurant without a pass after we had bought it, but we didn’t. Lovely quiet site, access to lake for paddle boarding etc. Slight issue with hot tub was quickly resolved (having little experience we were worried about leaving it running so instructions would be useful) and didn’t stop use. Granddaughter prefers this holiday to Centre Parc so that is a recommendation in itself!!! Thank you owner for letting us share your lodge!

  • "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay."

    However, had a few issues with maintenance and the upkeep of the lodge. First impressions were not great when we saw the decking, needs a good clean down and paint. The flooring on the kitchen area was broken, a panel was snapped which my 6-year-old actually caught her foot on causing it to bleed one morning when she forgot to put her crocs on like we stated they must do so due to this. The jets on the hot tub are mostly not working also, sticker pealing away which just doesn’t look nice. Despite these issues, it is a lively Lodge and was cleaned inside very well for us arriving. We had a great time and love the park, it’s in a great location.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are glad that you had an enjoyable stay, and that you found it to be clean. We will ask our Maintenance Team to take a look at the decking, and the flooring in the kitchen. We will contact the hot tub contractors to ensure that this is looked into.

  • "This was our 2nd time staying at honeysuckle lodge."

    We absolutely love it we do and will be booking back up. But, when we got there on Monday gone. First inspection of the hot tub wasn't the sight I wanted to see. It was filthy and had floating clumps of hair. It looked like the filter was broken and definitely open to the elements as the cover was off. We reported this to sykes and the lady I spoke too was amazing and said she would get it sorted ASAP. Later the next day the hot tub cleaning guys came. Said that the filter was due a change in 4 days so they just left it. This wasn't good enough. Next day the boss of hot tub guys came and seen. And couldn't believe it had been left in the state it was. Anyways 2 days after we got there it got sorted. The decking definitely needs a bit TLC too tbh. But still an amazing sun trap. The lodge itself inside is amazing as always. I said in my last review in Feb that the double bed needed new mattress and it has got an amazing, comfortable new mattress. The tiles in kitchen are coming up a bit now though so they need sorted. But, like I've said we absolutely love this lodge ans will be back.

    Really clean and tidy and felt like home as soon as we walked in. Only negative is the only wifi available is the parks one which wasn’t the greatest so we weren’t able to use the tv apps ie Netflix / Prime in the evening as connection wasn’t strong enough. Not a massive deal of course but thought it was worth a mention.

    . Perfectly clean. And I'm ocd so was perfect. Bath and an amazing power shower too. Only thing will say is the mattress on double bed is quite thin. So quite uncomfortable, the single beds were very comfy though. Even the duvet covers lovely and cosy. 1 blind in living room was bit temperamental so just left it down. The one to left of TV looking at TV. Overall we loved the lodge, we have booked back up 10/10 for us. Thank you
