It totally exceeded our expectations! It was easy accessible for our pram and in a lovely quiet area on site. Also great to have plenty of room to park two cars. There was nothing that this lodge lacked! It was so spacious, bright, warm and welcoming. Our family meme era were also blown away and our little 3 year old was so upset to leave on the last day. Great location and minutes down the road to Ambleside and Windermere. If this lodge was ok a different site, we would certainly book again! 10/10 from us!

“Despite storm Dennis, we still had a great week away as this lodge was incredibly cosy, warm, insulated, comfortable and well equipped with access to the pool onsite at a very reasonable price.”

It's also a great base to get out and explore from. Perfect.
Miss Taylor November 2019

“Beautiful place, very accessible especially for wheelchairs.”

Great views and literally 2 minutes from the lake. Will definitely be coming back!

“Bluebell lodge is absolutely beautiful with very high quality fixtures and furnishings.”

The kitchen is beautiful and extremely well equipped, the beds are comfortable as are the quilts and pillows. Very comfortable. The only small issue which is not a reflection on the owners at all was the standard of cleaning particularly in the kitchen. The oven was not clean and everything in it had a film of grease on it as did some of the dishes and cups in the cupboards and the dishwasher smelt very musty. I cleaned everything myself (except the oven) and it was great then. It’s just a shame it wasn’t done by the cleaning team but I suppose they have a limited amount of time to clean everything properly.

“The Park is located centrally, close to Windermere and Ambleside.”

The Lodge is positioned in a quiet area, but close to the Lake and leisure complex. The Lodge was very comfortable and well appointed. Lots to do in the locality. Lots of cycle paths as well as some mountain biking in Grizedale. Plenty of walking - from nice gentle flat walks to higher level ones. The National Park visitor is virtually right next door at Brockhole. We were only there for a week - would have loved more.
Mrs Fox July 2019

“Due to large and overgrown trees right next to back veranda, didn’t use the outside table.”

Moved chairs to sit in sun at side by door but all sun and evening views blocked by trees from mid afternoon onwards. Leaves and insects falling on table too. Needs major trimming back, branches and height removal. Otherwise beautiful lodge and lovely site.
Miss Wing June 2019

“The lodge was well equipped and clean but is in need of some maintenance.”

The bathroom especially. The outside space ie the decking was very disappointing. The decking was covered in debris from the very close trees and looked like it had not been cleaned since winter. The furniture was all covered in moss the cushions were very wet and we had to try and dry them before we could use them.The deck does not get any sun on it as it is completely shaded by trees.

Thank you for your review and for the telephone conversation we had after you wrote it, which allowed us to clarify what the small bathroom maintenance issues were. We attend to all maintenance requests on the day they are reported to us as a matter of course. Unfortunately, in this case we weren't told about about the loose soap dish, seat and toilet roll holder during the course of your stay. However, we were grateful to know about them afterwards as this allowed us to rectify them immediately and maintain the high standard of the bathroom and lodge as a whole for future guests. We are very sorry that you found the external cushions to be wet, but the entire decking area had in fact been thoroughly cleaned and treated by a professional refurbishment company only a week before your arrival. Unfortunately leaves can blow onto the decking area of the lodges during periods of wind or storms and it seems this may have been the case here. We are grateful for your comments about the high standard of cleanliness and equipment in the lodge and hope that these other small issues did not detract from your overall enjoyment. Many thanks, the owners. Owner relations

“The property was in a generally decent state of repair and the beds were very comfortable.”

However, upon closing the curtains on the first night one of the hooks for the curtain tie-backs in the living room came out of the wall. It was very loose and not secure at all. It looked like it had previously been knocked out and just poly-filled back into place. Also, there was a little dent in the wall adjoining to the kitchen, almost like a previous renter had damaged it and it was left as it wasn't too bad. Upon sitting on the sofa I also noticed that one of the cushions was dirty, and when cleaning up before departure, as I was starting to sweep the floor, I noticed that there had been a small pile of rubbish (wrappers, etc) that were simply swept into a corner behind the bin. That being said, it was all ok. The sofas were comfy, good TVs in all rooms, a fully equipped kitchen (albeit the oven door was not aligned correctly), great showers, and a peaceful, easy to find location. However the name that is given by Sykes does not necessarily match up to that of the caravan park, so you could easily go to someone else's lodge. All in all, I would say it was a good break, however there was just a couple of issues with the maintenance of the property and it needs to be cleaned better. I would stay at the park again, but perhaps with a different property.
Mr Walker December 2018

“Lovely Cabin, Friendly staff and everything we could of asked for and more.”

Thank you for a lovely stay.
Mrs Monfea November 2018

“Brilliant lodge, great location.”

Everything was in there pans etc... would certainly want to return.
Mr Heywood October 2018

“Bluebell lodge was perfect for our family holiday.”

The facitilites on White Cross Bay were superb, and the standard of the lodge was exceptional. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and we would definitely visit again.
Ms Dickinson October 2018

“Skye’s made it very easy for me to book my accommodation with helpfully and friendly staff.”

I also liked the regular updates sent to me. The accommodation was fabulous and Iwould definitely recommend it and Skye’s.
Ms Wood August 2018

“Was a bit concerned when we pulled into the place and realised it was a holiday park ( we are late 50's ) but the location of the lodge at the top and edge of the park was beautifully located , very quiet at night .”

We even made use on the on-site club house which was useful for the occasional vino without the worry of driving. As for the lodge it was beautifully kitted out with high quality furnishing throughout, everything that was needed was there . All in all fabulous holiday in the UK will definitely return .
A FlipKey verified reviewer August 2014

“Beautiful!”

The accommodation was perfect! Which is saying a lot when we have a 11 year old disabled child and a 1 year old! As well as being practical in every aspect it was also luxurious for us, and you usually have to sacrifice suitability for luxury when you have kids! The setting was beautiful and the club house was brilliant for the wet days. It is expensive but you can see why when you get there. The decking outside was safe and secure enough to let our 1 year old toddle around on, and the ramped entrance made it fantastic for getting my daughter inside in her wheelchair. The lodge was spotless and had everything we needed for a stress free holiday. The kids loved the pool, the staff there were lovely and very helpful with our daughter as the changing rooms aren't really set up for disabled access, but apparently this is being addressed. The lake is a little stroll away which was a perfect activity for after tea, and the kids loved our daily visits from the ducks! We will definitely visit again we had a lovely time thank you!
