White Cross Bay puts you right in the heart of the Lakes. Lake Windermere is on your doorstep with Bowness and Ambleside just minutes away. Fancy a hike?

The private hot tub is available till 10pm - plenty of time to soak away the day's adventures with a favourite drink.

The lodge features an open-plan living space with lounge, kitchen and dining area. Both bedrooms have TVs (because holiday arguments about what to watch are inevitable).

Glenys
We were very happy with the location of the lodge, a quiet area that suited us. Beautiful kitchen, and bathrooms, couldnt fault the whole place. Within easy proximity of Windermere, Ambleside and BownessOnWindermere. Have already booked for October. Really enjoyed our first visit to the Lake District.
Sharon
This is the 4th time we have stayed at Rydal lodge & it gets better every time. Comfy beds brand new hot tub comfy sofas cleanliness dog friendly well stocked kitchen . The lodge is in a great location. It has everything in the kitchen you need to cook with. Lovely outside sitting area. Weather was so good last week we didn't want to leave.
Overall a lovely lodge, very spacious & great hot tub. Good facilities & heating. Ideal location for exploring Windermere. Sofas couldve been a bit more comfy & kitchen needed a bit of a clean when we arrived but would stay here again.
Lovely lodge, quiet and relaxing. Lodge well equipped. Great having treats etc for dogs a nice touch. Thank you
Cameron
Really nice lodge, very comfortable and clean. Have no complaints, we will definitely be booking here again in the future.
We had a lovely stay at Rydal Lodge and was very pleased to see that the lodge has been refurbished. We found getting into the hot tub a bit difficult and it looked like it was the wrong way round. Other than that everything else was lovely.
Lauren
First entered the lodge and an awful smell met us at the door we found it was the mop and also the kitchen bin which we had to clean our self as there was all stuff at the bottom rotting away. The fridge and freezer was very dirty, floors not clean, bathrooms not clean, mattress protector all stained yellow when we stripped bedding when leaving. The hot tub was not clean it had leaves and flies in it and never seen one person checking the hot tub all weekend and outside around round the back needs cleaning. No instructions for the cooker or anything which was needed, boiler stopped working F1 error. Second time weve stayed here and would not return again a very disappointing stay.
Sharon
Another lovely stay at Rydal lodge, this is our 3rd stay. Pleased to say the hot tub has had a refurb, no squealing noise from the jets & a new control panel. Everything in the kitchen provided for a comfortable stay. We had a wasps nest in the roof above the front door, we rang on the morning to notify maintenance & when we came back after a day out they had been out & resolved the problem. Can't wait to stay again.
We had a great stay! The lodge was spotless. With some extrasthe cleaning pack was very handy as was the dog towel and toy. Very comfortable with plenty of facilities. It deserves 5 stars but there were a few repairs needed a few jets dont work on the hot tub and a kitchen cupboard door. But my self, family and dog had a great time. The enclosed walkway around the property was idea for the dog. Would rebook!
The lodge was nice, however the outdoor furniture was soaked when we arrived. The bedroom window in the main bedroom was faulty as in the handle was loose so it couldnt be locked. Otherwise the lodge was lovely and comfortable
Geoffrey
We really enjoyed our stay at White Cross Bay in Rydal Lodge. The super king size bed was brilliant and the lodge had everything we needed. The hot tub was big, very private and well maintained during our stay. Some reviews mentioned a loud noise coming from a jet in the hot tub but it wasnt as bad as we were expecting. Giving 4 starts as we feel like the lodge could do with some TLC, the main bedroom window has a broken latch and wouldnt shut properly and a kitchen cupboard door was hanging off. There was also a panel in the hot tub which kept falling off. It would have been nice to have had a larger smart TV in the living room as we only had a few channels. It would have been nice to have had Netflix or the option to plug in a fire stick. That being said, we definitely would return!
The property requires a deep clean, the hoover when used smells awful. The outdoor furniture cushions were wet through when we arrived and had mold and algae on some of them, they couldnt be used, an outside storage box is needed to keep them dry when not in use. The hot tub pump screeches when the pump runs. The second bedroom is really dark due to the Laurel hedge being overgrown, the hedge actually scratches against the lodge when theres a wind interrupting sleep. The outside consumer box cover was on the floor when we arrived, it had been held in place with gaffer tape, I reported this last year when we visited. Its a nice lodge in a quiet location but requires a little tlc.
Richard
The lodge itself is lovely, modern decor and generally well maintained however, we had a few issues Hot tub is well used and the plastic parts around the filter were not fixed properly to the tub and kept falling apart and floating around the tub. The 2nd set of jets for the back part of the tub emitted a screaming sound so we didn't use it as it wasn't relaxing with it on. Dishwasher didn't work from the start to the end of the holiday code E15 water supply, maintenance came to fix it but couldn't fix it. We paid for a dishwasher but ended up having to wash up in a plastic bowl in the sink no kitchen sink plug either. Composite decking was very uneven bowed sagging, creating trip hazards in 3 or 4 places, the worst measured at 40mm difference in height between adjacent boards! Everything else was fine but annoying not to have a dishwasher when we paid for it, I probably wouldn't book again if the above items are not fixed
Sharon
We have had another fantastic stay at Rydal lodge, having stayed there in September last year it was great to be back. Lovely comfortable lodge with comfy sofas & a superking size bed. Hot tub is great after a days walking & private. Pool man comes every day to check it. Would definitely recommend.
Christine
1st time we've stayed in a lodge so much better than a caravan in terms of size & comfort, this one was done out to a high spec. The decking area was ideal being fully enclosed and the hot tub area was really private and got the sun in the afternoon but the tub wasn't working perfectly, the maintenance guy said they're waiting for parts from China. On the booking we were asked to call 48 hours before arrival to get the site access code, that was a nightmare, it took 24 hrs of trying to contact Sykes & the site, Sykes did eventually provide it, it would be so much easier if you just sent it automatically
Lorraine
Beautiful lodge everything you need to make your stay lovely the hot tub was amazing at the end of day.
Nicola
We stopped at this lodge for new year we where impressed with it lovely and spacious furniture comfortable would recommend a better mattress a bit firmer and some puffer pillows for comfort and bit of thicker duvet. Hot tub lovely very big one of the jets kept making a funny sound when u used the jet 2 my son had to go out and turn the jet off when it came on automatically but noisy but other than that brill quiet location I would recommend it and we will return to this lodge in future time
Gabriella
The Lodge looks very modern and very well kept until you get to the property. It would be a lovley lodge and somewhere to go back to every year when visiting the lakes but the cleanliness and upkeep just wasn't up to our usual holiday standards. From the cleanliness of the whole property I have photos to both sets of patio doors not locking this was also noted in a review from another person staying in September it does not feel very safe especially with a child to have doors that do not lock. In regards to both sets of doors we had to get maintenance out 2 nights in a row who then had to force them shut and told us not to not use them for the rest of the stay. To the bedding used that must have been that old the poppers to close it had all broken I have photos the decking outside as noted in other reviews still hasn't been fixed causing a trip hazard. The hot tub was not emptied before we arrived as I have a photo of it with papertissue in still. We had to give the lodge a clean before even starting our holiday which isn't what you expect. Even the shower was not cleaned properly as there was some time of pink product looked like conditioner all in the bottom. If we where staying in a budget friendly property I wouldn't have minded as much but we even had to go out and purchase our own washing up liquid, spongescloths, cleaning products and black bags you expect the price we paid to at least have a couple spare. I do believe the lodge could be a lovley place to stay if you kept on top of the repairs even the kitchen bin was broken. This review sounds like I am just complaining for the sake of it but I stay in lodges 3 times a year and I never have to clean. I would like to send all the photos across for you you see if you can reply to me please. I feel the lodge is in need of a deep clean as the price we paid to stay did not match the property. Thank you
Stayed here for our first family holiday after welcoming our daughter. It was perfect for us as we could go out in the day exploring and chill at the lodge in the evening. It was a lot more spacious than we imagined. The only thing I would suggest would be to provide some washing up liquid as we didn't realise we had to bring our own so had to go buy some. Other than that it was perfect!
Sharon
Absolutely beautiful stay at Rydal lodge. The lodge was well equipped & had everything we needed. Comfy sofas & lovely super king size bed. Hot tub was great after a day walking. Would definitely book again. One set of the patio doors wouldn't shut properly when we arrived. We rang & reported this. A man came out & tied a bungie cord around handles for the night, he said someone would be back next day but nobody came back. This didn't spoil our holiday in any way but needs fixing.
Lovely lodge, all modern fixtures and fittings. Good space in the rooms, large decking area. King size bed was so comfy, with the added luxury of the ensuite which meant we could all get ready at the same time rather than waiting for the bathroom. Kids loved their room too. Hot tub was checked daily, window cleaner came round whilst we were there too. Only downside, the outdoor cushions were soaked, could have done with being left inside to be put out when the sun came out, and the iron wasnt working. Otherwise perfect location and will definitely be back.
The first thing that was apparent was the unpleasant aroma of dog urine that had obviously penetrated the furniture, rugs & carpets of which the 2 small plug ins did nothing to mask! The kitchen lacked a sieve & grater therefore making a simple pasta meal difficult! The fencing around the decking needs attention, rotting spindles which are loose, as does the metal chairs, one of the legs had rusted through. Despite daily hot tubs checks it might be frugal to drain it and clean the black mould that has accumulated in crevices. Ensuite door gets stuck, quite a panicky feeling when a door doesn't open. The shower in the ensuite also didn't enable you to change the temperature as the handle was loose, Entry code to security gates incorrect! Patio door lock very stiff and temperamental. No toilet brushes.... Unannounced visit from a window cleaner in the rain! Cupboards that left our clothes smelling musty, previous guests rubbish in draws. The list is endless. For a holiday home that has endless rules and regulations may I suggest you get the place in order first before you insist on any of these. I wouldn't return nor would I recommend considering the amount paid for this accommodation.
We loved our stay. We stayed at Rydal lodge in 2017 & we were so impressed so we opted to book again this year. Comfy mattresses, lovely decor, great kitchen amenities & clean. I cannot give negative feedback because we loved our stay, just a few suggestions. Upon arrival the code given for the barrier was incorrect. Wed driven for hours from Loch Ness so the correct code should be given as we had to go into reception to sort this same happened in 2017. The hot tub was amazing, we enjoyed it daily, one corner the jets werent working. There were 3 of us so this didnt matter but worth mentioning for future guests. In the evenings when our son was asleep we watched the tv. A suggestion would be to add a dvd player for guests as there wasnt much on the tv & it would be useful for parents with young children. Thank you Rydal for a wonderful holiday! Wonderful memories made & we hope to return again one day.
A great place to stay, the hot tub was an added bonus that we enjoyed. It is a good place to visit the lake district from. It is a spacious lodge with good amenities. There were a few minor maintenance problems that we reported as we did not want them being billed to us. A broken metal curtain tie that had been left on a table, a toilet seat that was very loose and a broken bin. However, these did not spoil our time at the lodge and we would book again.
This lodge is beautiful, its very homely and modern. The hot tub is amazing and checked daily. The location is fab for lots of activities. I highly recommend this lodge.
Overall the property is satisfactory and I would probably re book. The property needs a parasol on the decking area. There wasnt any storage that we could see for the outdoor furniture cushions, some of the cushions were covered in bird droppings due to no storage. Outdoor electric supply needs fixing, gaffer tape isnt intrinsically safe, the power tripped on our final night and it was the outside supply that tripped. We called the emergency contact number and they gave assistance straight away.
The lodge was lovely, very comfy and clean and a great location. However we booked this lodge for the use of the hot tub but everyday of our stay a maintenance person had to come out and refill it, which we found out on the last day was due to a leak that the owners are aware of and parts have been requested. On the Saturday it was my daughters 16th birthday. The maintenance guy came out in the morning to refill the tub and told us he would be 20mins. In total it was 3hrs before the hot tub was useable again and we ended up contacting sykes to help us to sort it We had to make an unplanned trip out to ensure my daughters birthday wasn't spent sitting around. I would like to speak with the ownerssykes cottages re this as we should have been made aware and compensated for this as it massively impacted our stay.
My boyfriend, myself and our two dogs stayed here in March forgot that I didnt leave feedback! , and we had the best time! The lodge itself was immaculate and so beautifully decorated. Right in the heart of the Lakes, you really couldnt get any better. Desperate to come back again!
Louise
Directions to the lodge were unclear. Took approximately 45 minutes to find. Banister on steps were hanging off was extremely dangerous and the maintenance man turned up to fix it on our departure he is not allowed to do any maintenance whilst we are in residence?! The outdoor seating area had cushions left on, they were covered in bird muck and were sodden and dirty. Hot tub was extremely difficult to get into and the jets were difficult to turn on. There were no instructions on how to use it. Seemed as if the hot tub was back to front and the correct way into it was tucked in against the fence. The inside of the lodge was perfect, couldn't fault it.
We had a lovely time, the lodge was really clean and modern, but still cosy and warm, the Christmas decorations were a lovely touch as we have a 17 month old. The only downside was no Netflix on the TV as we were back around 4pm when it got dark. Hot tub was maintained daily and the mattress in the master bedroom was really comfy would definitely book again.
Deborah
Fabulous lodge. We've stayed on the park before and love it here. The lodge was in a lovely quiet location and exactly high standard we have previously experienced with Lake Distric Lodges. We would definitely book it again if opportunity arose . Only issue was lack of lighting around the hot tub which made it difficult to use safely once dark, which at this time of year is early. There were lights outside but the ones in that area and around the decking edge weren't working. Would have given 5 stars if this had been fixed.
Lauren
Absolutely beautiful lodge inside we loved everything about it couldnt really fault anything! It had everything we could need, the only thing the cooker stopped working on our second day so we wasnt able to cook our breakfast which was very disappointing and I think the outside could of done with a tidybrushing up as it looked a bit messy but other than that a great stay and we would definitely return again!
Had a lovely stay at Rydal lodge, it was a perfect base for our family week away. The lodge decor is lovely and was very clean throughout. Having stayed at a few self catering apartments, it would benefit from a couple of dining additions, colander and placemats to protect the lovely table but nothing that spoilt our stay. Will definitely recommend and return again.
Richard
The lodge was absolutely lovely it was very modern and very clean, although we only used the kitchen for tea and coffee it has everything you may need if you are cooking. The bedrooms have plenty drawer and hanging space and the beds were very comfy with beautiful clean linen. We had a lovely stay and would certainly recommend it to anyone looking to stay at the Lakes
Absolutely amazing lodge beautiful I've stayed in a few on white Cross Bay and this is by far the best one.
Alasdair
We hand a great stay at Rydal Lodge. The accommodation was excellent and the park itself had everything we needed for our stay. We will definitely be back!
Louise

Sandra
