Family (the eldest child is aged 5 - 14)
- Nice site and picturesque location, helpful staff in the restaurant and bar. However signage at the main entrance is poor (gold writing on green background) which is hard to see in the dark. There is insufficient lighting around this site making it a little dangerous walking and driving around the narrow park lanes at night. Better low level lighting required and more visible signage at the front entrance.
There should be a standard provision within lodges, we had booked two lodges Chapelhouse and Derwent and there were numerous differences in basic provisions.

Hello Paul,
Thank you for your review from your holiday at White Cross Bay, we agree it's a lovely location!
Thank you for also acknowledging our staff who have worked hard all season sometimes in difficult circumstances.
Lighting around the resort is very important and this has been fed back to the on-park maintenance team.
Inventory in the vans and lodges should reflect the number of occupants and clearly this wasn't the case here, this feedback has also been fed back to our housekeeping team.
Thank you again for your feedback and we hope to welcome you back to one of our many parks again the near future.

- Stayed in the same lodge few years ago and ideal for a few days away.
Clubhouse set up was really well organised considering the current covid situation.
Easy walks to both Ambleside, Windermere and bowess by path.

Hello Helen and thank your for your review of your holiday at White Cross Bay.
We are delighted you enjoyed your stay and found our park clean & tidy and our contactless check in smooth.
Thank you also for your understanding of our new Covid way of working, it's been a learning curve for us all and we're glad you were able to enjoy the facilities.
Some of our accommodations have seen a very high foot fall through a very busy season however this does not mean that the quality should be compromised and your feedback has been fed to our housekeeping team.

- Really disappointed with our stay. We went to Fallbarrow this time last year and it was amazing. We thought we would try Whitecross this year. Shower was filthy and microwave door was full of hand prints. We enquired where the Hoover and mop was on the second day and was told they had been removed because of COVID 樂They promised they would send someone round... that never happened. On arrival we went to reception to enquire about why we couldn’t order any food on the app. The gentleman at the front of the restaurant advised me that they take the options off but couldn’t tell me the best time etc to make sure we checked for future days. Very unhelpful. Then my children and husband went to use the swimming pool and was made to walk home in their wet clothes in the rain because the changing rooms were not open? Absolutely shocking experience - sadly we won’t be returning.
