Cedar Lodge Reviews

Deborah

Whilst most of the lodge was good my only complaint but most annoying one is that it was impossible to have a normal shower as the water pressure was ridiculous along with the fact most if the time the water was cold. I coukd if had a better shower outside in the rain or by using the hosepipe outside. Struggled to remove shampoo from our hair especially if you have long hair. It was that bad that two of our guests went home after two days they had had enough.

We had a great time at Cedar Lodge . It was lovely and clean and had everything we needed. The site is a great location for everything the lakes has to offer. We would defo visit again.

Darren

Cedar lodge was amazing we had a fabulous 3 night stay everything you could need and more was provided in the lodge. Hot tub was great to relax in. An absolutely brilliant time and will definitely be returning

Unfortunately we had an issue during our stay with a low to non existent water pressure. I spent the whole 4 days trying to sort this. The owner, Sykes and Parkdean couldnt have cared less. I spent 45 minutes running every bath. Some of our party had to leave early due to the inconvenience. The lodge is clearly dog friendly and the smell reflects that. On a positive note, its a generally nice lodge with everything youd need for a stay. Aside from proper flowing water sadly.

Rachel

Loved our recent trip to Cedar lodge. The accommodation is extremely welcoming and the facilities are lovely and clean.

George

Nice lodge in a wonderful location, although there is a little bit of maintenance required to keep the lodge in good condition. We had a great family holiday and really enjoyed the hot tub.

Tommie

Lodge is really beautiful and the location is perfect. The park itself is so well maintained and you couldn't be closer to all the popular towns in the lake district. Hot tub is also lovely and clean. Loads of towels and bed linen is a bonus too. Only issue was the dishwasher wasnt working when we stayed so some of the kitchen items weren't as clean as they could have been but not a major concern. Everything else was spot on and would love to stay again.

We had a lovely stay at Cedar Lodge all the home comforts that you need. Lovely and clean hot tub was fab. Only downside was the lack of worktop space however the kitchen was well equipped with everything you may need.

Lovely location, easy to access all areas of the lake, our lodge was fantastic, ... Lovely location, easy to access all areas of the lake, our lodge was fantastic, clean, tidy, well equipped, the hot tub was a god send for relaxing after daily activities, surrounding villages are beautiful, would highly recommend and we are looking at booking again ourselves already

Chelsea

Very comfortable stay, hot tub was wonderful and everything was clean! Only one small issue was some moisture had got into the bathroom door frame at the bottom which caused the wood to swell so we werent able to close the bathroom door completely. Otherwise everything else was perfect!

We had a fabulous holiday. The accommodation was very clean and well equipped. The site was peaceful. Had meals in the bar which were enjoyable.

Accommodation is brilliant. Everything you need from towels for the hot tub to utensils in the kitchen. We visit every year and the property always has small upgrades. This year the USB plugs were a great enhancement especially for mobile phone charging. We were able to log onto wifi this year which isnt important but certainly helps when planning walksday trips. The cleanliness of the property we have scored slightly lower as there was a balloon left down the side of the couch and the floor underneath the couch needed a brush from the previous visitors. Other than that, another great stay. Would be good to negotiate pool passes with Park Dean, as again this year, we paid over 40 for weekly swim passes and only managed to book into swimming on one session. Very expensive for one session and disappointing for the children.

John Brian

Great lodge, clean and tidy and great hot tub. We were very impressed with the utensils and condiments, it seemed to have everything including tin foil, oils, extra chopping boards, loads of glasses etc. There was nothing it didn't have. There were a few chipped cups, but plenty to choose from. We did notice that the hot and cold taps were connected the wrong was round so the hot was the cold etc, but no dramas. The beds were comfy and the tv had access to amazon prime and Netflix etc and even had small tvs in the bedrooms. Al in all very good. I had seem some mention of mould in the bathrooms on other reviews, but they were great during our stay. Would recommend

Lovely lodge, stayed in this lodge a few times now and its always clean and well equipped. The only issue this time is there is a gap in one of the bedroom windows causing a bit of a draft. I would definitely recommend staying in this lodge

Really great lodge, looks like its 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 ensuite. This lodge would be absolutely fantastic if that issue was sorted.

We had a great holiday, the only downside was the mouldy smell in the onsuite 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.

Elizabeth

Cedar Lodge was spacious and clean. Kitchen is well equipped and really appreciated the added touch of clean oven glove, teatowel, scourer and cloth left for us

Katherine

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 doesnt 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.

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 fridgefreezer 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 expectedsuggested 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.

Michael

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 deicing 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.

Beautiful lodge! The hot tub was spectacular! Would definitely book again. The place was throughly clean and had all the main necessities

Sukhvir

Great place to stay , very clean and modern and the location was absolutely amazing everything close by

Suzanne

Radiator in one of small bedrooms wasnt working and aerial wouldnt allow us to watch tv as no service. Other than that a lovely clean lodge and very comfortable

Lovely lodge and very well equipped, will definitely book again

Beautiful lodge , very clean and everything we needed . perfect location thankyou

The lodge was really nice and cosy, bedrooms were adequate size and comfortable. Kitchen and living space was really nice, enjoyed the fire in the living room which made the space cosy. Kitchen facilities were spot on, everthing we needed was available.

Tracey

Some mould in the ensuite and double bedroom beading around the ceiling. . Water dripping out of the fan above the toilet in ensuite. Kitchen taps loose. Otherwise Cedar lodge was lovely. Excellent hot tub which we all enjoyed. Club house and pool where excellent on site .

Fantastic stay in this beautiful lodge. Will definitely book again.

Excellent cabin had everythink you could need for a nice relaxing stay. .the cabin was spottless and very comfortable. We unfortunatly picked a week when the tree cutters were out in force so it was very noisey but other than that cannot complain about anythink with the cabin.great value for money. Ps.A knife sharpener would be a great addition to help with cooking.

This was our second visit to Cedar Lodge and the WiFi is now great last year it did not work at all. The lodge is in a great spot, quiet and peaceful. The ensuite bathroom has a smell which doesn't leave which could do with some attention. Everything else great .

Ceddar Lodge was the perfect lodge for us. It was situated in a culdesac on the park so that meant alot more privacy. The property had everything you needed from cutlery,plates,pans,bedding,towels. It felt cosy the moment you walked in.

Danielle

Really enjoyed our stay. 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 kitchenliving 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 barrestaurantswimming 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.

We had a great stay at the lodge. Great location if you want to go exploring or a nice park and lovely lodge to simply relax. Would certainly recommend and intend to re book in a year or two for another stay. I left some clothes at the lodge but the aftercare in posting them on was a really nice touch. If we were to highlight anything for future improvement it would be renewall of the mattress. But certainly clean, cosy and everything you need is there.

Leonard

Work space when cooking is a little short .
