Brightwater Lodge Reviews

Weve just returned from 3 nights at the lodge and its a perfect little home from home its very cosy. the hot tub is fabulous, there is everything you could possibly need in the kitchen making it easy if youre staying in to eat, the park is nice and peaceful but a great base from exploring the lakes. Andy was really helpful when I had a bird brained question for him! And was good enough to get back to me instantly. We all really enjoyed it and we hope to return!

Debbie

We had an amazing stay at Brightwater, the lodge was situated less than a minutes walk from the lake and a few minutes to the main area of the site. Easy access to all local amenities and areas of interests. Would highly recommend this lodge, very clean and spacious. Hot tub was a bonus and so was the Xbox great when you have teenagers!

Great location, loved the hot tub, nice cosy living & dining room with fast starlink Internet, Netflix ect for you to enjoy in the evenings and a xbox we didn't use but still a nice addition. The coffee machine was lovely to have for morning coffees. Only thing we didn't enjoy was the bed mattress, couldn't get comfortable, could feel the springs in the master room Overall would definitely recommend, lodge was nice and the owner was very friendly and helpful.

I cant recommend this lodge enough. Very clean, comfortable and well equipped. The hot tub and jacuzzi bath are fabulous. Correspondence from the owner prior to our arrival was excellent and contact numbers for himself and maintenance etc were readily available but not needed as everything was great. We will definitely be returning.

Lovely lodge. very clean and well equipped. The hot tub was great and so was the jacuzzi bath. The location was right by lake Windermere and was just a 2 minute walk away. Andrew the owner phoned us to see if everything was Ok and you felt very well care for, because of this. I would highly recommend this lodge as it's clean and comfortable and right in the heart of the lake district and in easy travelling distance to all well known tourist attractions.

Very lovely lodge, had everything we needed, enjoyed the hot tub and found the food on site very good value. We will be back soon I hope. Thank you!!

Geraldine

Fantastic accommodation and great experience from start to finish. Andy was great with his communication about the lodge which made for an easy start and arrival. The lodge was in a great location and the park felt peaceful and relaxed and in a great spot for exploring. We enjoyed paddle boarding, canoeing and a trip on the steamer boats as well as plenty of walking and exploring. The lodge itself was lovely, comfortable and spacious with great facilities. The hot tub and decked area was a lovely addition for a relaxing evening. We had a minor issue which Andy responded to immediately so reassuring when you are just wanting to relax on holiday. Thank you for a great experience!

Lovely cozy, lodge with everything that's needed. Great location to explore The Lakes. Had a great few days and look forward to returning at some point.

Good location very comfortable perfect for what we wanted The owner was very ... Good location very comfortable perfect for what we wanted The owner was very accommodating and helpful as we managed to check in earlier than expected

Lovely cabin with everything we needed except butter knives We were lucky with the weather. Enjoyed days out at Brockhole, hired a boat, Lakeland Maze Farm Honister Slate Mine. But mostly enjoyed a wee paddle in the lakes, have for BBQ and sit on the decking before relaxing in the hot tub. Thank you

We had the most amazing stay, beautiful lodge amazing facilities, fantastic hot tub, amazing comfy beds. Can't wait for our next stay. Thank you so much.

Had a lovely weekend relaxing in the hot tub, beautiful well equipped lodge. Great location lots to do and see. Enjoyed every minute, thanks Andy we will be back x

We had a lovely family break. Andy the host was very helpful from the off, with all relevant information needed for access and important info. The lodge welcomed us with a nice warm and cozy feeling. The lights were on as we were arriving late. Everything was included and easily accessible in the kitchen. Beds were comfy enough. Location is great for access to the lake and the bar. Easily enough parking for two cars. Overall, great time was had and would definitely book again if the chance ever came up.

Maggie

Lovely lodge on beautiful Windermere. Lodge was clean and comfortable with the added bonus of the hot tub. The owner was very helpful and sent a video of how to locate the lodge in advance of our stay. The site itself was quiet although I expect it would be busier later in the year and our little dog enjoyed sniffing her way around it. A great base for exploring the Lakes. We had a lovely time.

Site and lodge was spotless. Ticked every box
