About this property

Rydal is a stylish lodge in a quiet cul de sac position at White Cross Bay handy for the marina, the lakeshore, and the clubhouse. The lodge sleeps 5 people in two bedrooms, and has two double beds, great for couples and families, one of the bedrooms with an additional single bed. The spacious deck along three sides of the lodge is home to a large L-shaped outdoor lounging sofa, and a private hot tub tucked away to the side, means that you can really relax and enjoy your break. Back inside and plenty of space for preparing, eating and drinking and planning your day ahead, or reflecting on your recent adventures! Rydal also welcomes two well behaved dogs so it can become a real family holiday. In a glorious setting by the lake, White Cross Bay sits on the shores of Lake Windermere with views all around to the spectacular fells. Rydal lodge is a short walk from the waterside where you can head down to the jetties, breathe in the fresh air, and enjoy the views and watch the boats on the marina. On the Park itself, there is a bar and restaurant with outdoor seating area for dogs, picnic area and children’ play zone. Note: Some facilities on the park are subject to extra cost such as use of the pool, gym, entertainment, bar and restaurant. 500 yards up the main road is Brockhole Lake District Visitor Centre, with a great way to spend a day with gardens, house, café, restaurant, walks, boats, adventure playground and Tree Top Trek: there’s lots to do! You’re also just two miles from bustling Windermere village with shops, cafes and pubs, and three miles from Bowness boat landings, where the elegant cruisers come in and you can hop on a boat trip. Bowness is a cosmopolitan village with award-winning restaurants and pubs and quirky shops, a cinema and the ever- popular World of Beatrix Potter attraction. Three miles in the other direction, head to Ambleside, another bustling town with shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants and of course, fabulous walks in every direction. Two miles north on the A592 is the pretty village of Troutbeck, home to two traditional pubs with log fires, great food and ales: The Queens Head and the Mortal Man. You’ll also discover beautiful Holehird Gardens, and the National Trust’s fascinating Townend House. Further on you climb up to the magnificent Kirkstone Pass, then drop down to Brotherswater & Ullswater.

A wonderful place to make special memories with your loved ones.

The twin towns of Bowness and Windermere are both vibrant, fun-filled places set within the splendid scenery of the Lake District. Both towns provide a range of amenities, shops and restaurants to suit all tastes whilst Ambleside offers the additional attraction of a boat ride to Bowness, the Lakeside Aquarium and Beatrix Potter's 'Hill Top House' at Sawrey. Grizedale Forest Park is within easy driving distance and is home to a range of activities including many good walks, mountain biking and the 'Go Ape' adventure park. The region also boasts many National Trust properties as well as a variety of water sports for those who prefer a more adrenaline-fuelled trip. Children will enjoy a trip to the 'World of Beatrix Potter' in Bowness whilst the villages of Grasmere, Coniston Water, Kendal, Keswick and the Lakeland Mountains are all within easy reach.

    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

    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 paper/tissue 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, sponges/cloths, 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
