"Cannot fault the lodge and location within the site."
Clean and comfortable, I will definitely look to book the lodge again if I am in the area. 2 minor pointers ... Small waste bins in bathrooms and maybe a nest of coffee tables in the lounge would be advantageous as the lounge is spacious and the one large coffee table doesn't serve both sofas adequately for comfort. However these minor points didn't affect our stay. Would recommend
Thank you for your positive feedback, we are pleased you enjoyed the lodge. We are intending to provide a nest of tables on our next visit. Thanks again Garry & Carol (Owners) Property Owner

"Robins Nest at White Cross Bay was an absolutely beautiful Lodge."
I came to stay for a week with my 9 year old, but sadly due to circumstances beyond my control had to leave early (wednesday, i left the lodge as clean and tidy as i could but didn't get the chance to have a hoover around sorry) The lodge itself was beautiful and in a great location on the park, which was also lovely. On arrival we found it to be immaculately clean, very spacious and had a homely feel. It was well equipped for absolutely everything and my son was over the moon to find it had lots of games, dvds, books etc to keep him entertained. Nothing to fault at all to be fair regards the Lodge, it was spot on, although maybe a hot tub on that lovely decking area would be perfect after a long day out walking maybe. Just to let you know that the toilet roll holder in the main bathroom was broken when we arrived, it wasn't us! Thanks for a lovely stay, i would definitely recommend Robins Nest to others and stay again one day.

"The property itself was lovely."
We bought a cafetiere and left it in the property because we're coffee lovers and there wasn't one when we arrived. Hopefully this will be appreciated by future visitors. The site was fine. Quite noisy in the evenings and the pool was absolutely rammed full so wasn't that enjoyable

"Recently returned from a weeks stay at Robin's Nest, location of lodge excellent, can see the lake from the decking area and you are minutes away to the lake shore and great position to watch the RAF flights."
Lodge is bright and airy, plenty of room for 4 adults, the twin beds were comfortable for me & hubby, our elderly parents were more than satisfied in the double en-suite room, the large decking area was great to chill out on and relax. We would return.

"Had a wonderful stay at Robins Nest, the lodge had everything we needed."
My 4yr old daughter loved playing with all the games and toys which are in the lodge. The bedrooms are fab, lovely & clean. The kitchen had everything that you need and there is sky tv in the living room. Wi-Fi wasn’t great in the lodge, it wouldn’t pick up the sites Wi-Fi which was a bit rubbish but we were out most of the time so didn’t really matter. Would definitely stay in this lodge again.
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Robins Nest. The WIFI is a park issue, and we are not responsible. We look forward to welcoming you back again. Property Owner

"We go to White Cross Bay twice a year and have stayed at a few different lodges now, Robin’s Nest was one of the best."
It was very clean and comfortable, there was only the two of us but they provide sky to, dvd’s and games for the kids so would be fantastic for a small family.We will be back

"Robin’s Nest is very spacious, comfortable and well equipped."
The lodge is a short stroll from the lake and the seating area on the decking is very private and gets the sun all afternoon. It was nice to have the added extras in the lodge provided by the owners such as board games, DVD’s and books. The folder listing numerous walks with maps was also a nice touch. As a family we stay on White Cross Bay several times a year and would definitely book this lodge again.

"Our stay at Robin's Nest was wonderful."
The lodge is so spacious and comfortable. It was great to have all of the games and DVDs, which my children enjoyed. We loved sitting and having a coffee onbthe decking, unfortunately the weather only allowed us to do this a couple of times. The location of the lodge is perfect, so close to the lake but also not far from the reception and bar area. I'm already planning my next visit!
Thank you for the excellent review. We are so pleased to hear you all enjoyed your stay at Robin's Nest. The lodge is beautifully presented for guests to simply relax and enjoy spending time together. A great place to stay and we are delighted you thought so too. We look forward to welcoming you again soon. Property Owner

"Hi, firstly I would like to say We have no issues at all with the lodge as the owners really have thought of everything, all the little things make this a great lodge to stay in, it’s just a shame that it’s not on a different park as robins nest is great."
Our issue was that all activities must be booked prior, however the is nowhere to book them so when we arrived we was unable to do anything on site. Not at any point was we told by yourself we must book any activities,The costing for the ^pass^ that you publish is in correct and park dean told me they have informed you several times and done nothing about it,in fact they told me to never book with you guys again. it’s clear to me all you want to do is take our money and run. Zero help or support after this point. It was like being in isolation for 5 days. The restaurant had to shut on day 2 of our stay at 5pm for the remainder of the week so when everyone on site was expecting evening food, we/they was told to goto the on-site shop and purchase some food to cook at our lodge… guess what, the shop was shut, so lots of us couldn’t eat and had to wait until the following morning for the empty shop to open up. I’m very fortunate my kids are still not small, as it was overall very unsatisfactory. Lake District lodge really should consider removing the lodges for hire until they resolve the lack of support.
Thank you for your feedback, we are pleased to hear how much you enjoyed the lodge. The owners take great pride in making their lodge a real home away from home and they visit often. We are sorry to hear you were unable to use the onsite facilities and there was some confusion over the cost. As advised under our terms and conditions and on our website, we are not responsible for the onsite facilities or the park operations as they are run by Parkdean Resorts. We are sorry this impacted your stay and we apologise for the inconvenience this caused. Property Owner

"The chairs on the decking are worn."
One is not usable luckily there was only two of us. Other than that fantastic location. Easy access to all the wonderful places in the lakes. Definitely be back.
Thank you for the review. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay although noting your comments about the outside furniture, please accept our apologies. We can tell you that since you departed the decking chairs have been replaced with new. Despite this matter we are so pleased you had a great time and enjoyed the fantastic location. We are thrilled to hear you will be back and look forward to welcoming you. Property Owner

"We attempted to use the the oven on our last night but it didn’t work- as it was gas decided not to keep trying."
So that was disappointing

We have spoken with the owner who thanks you for your feedback and he will investigate if there is a further problem. Having said that, we do hope the rest of your stay at Robin's Nest was enjoyable and you will return in the future to enjoy everything the lodge has to offer. Property Owner

"Thank you for such a lovely stay in Robin's Nest, on our first family holiday with our 19month old."
We got a real sense of 'Home from Home' as soon as we walked through the door. The lodge was very clean & well equipped, it catered for our every need, even the toy box came in handy. The wrap around decking with a lockable gate was perfect for our little boy who loved playing outside & was able to do so safely. Robin's Nest was the perfect base for some lovely days out in the lakes and we will certainly look to return, hopefully in the not too distant future. Thanks again :)

"This is a lovely lodge in beautiful surroundings."
We found Robins Nest to be a home from home, spotlessly clean and had everything we could possibly need. It is in an ideal location to visit many of the Lake District beauty spots and after a day out a lovely place to come back to and relax. Unfortunately we did not use any of the facilities which are available due to the Covid pandemic but would certainly like to return in the future. Thank you for a much needed break! What did you enjoy most about your stay? The peaceful location What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? A Visit to Windermere
