Guests say

Honeysuckle Lodge in Windermere receives high praise for its cleanliness, cosy comfort, and well-equipped kitchen. The hot tub is a popular feature, despite some maintenance issues. The lodge's location within White Cross Bay is appreciated for its proximity to the lake and park facilities. Guests enjoy the modern amenities and homely feel, making it a recommended stay for families and couples alike.

Guests consistently note the lodge's cleanliness, with several reviews highlighting its spotless condition upon arrival. However, minor issues such as a dirty hot tub and overlooked areas like bathroom fans slightly detract from the overall high standard.

The lodge's location is frequently commended for its convenience to the lake and park amenities. Its position within White Cross Bay is considered ideal, contributing to a positive experience.

The lodge is described as cosy and comfortable, with comfy beds and warm furnishings. Some guests mention issues with a thin mattress and a broken kitchen panel, but overall, the comfort level is well-regarded.

Facilities like the well-equipped kitchen and powerful showers are appreciated, but several reviews mention maintenance issues with the hot tub, decking, and kitchen tiles. The lack of Wi-Fi strength for streaming services is also noted.

There is no mention of gifts or special touches provided by the owners in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess the level of thoughtfulness in this regard.

    Would highly recommend this lodge to anyone looking for a quiet chilled break.

  • Sophie

    The lodge itself was lovely- very comfortable and felt homely. Overall it was very clean, however we used the oven on our first night and there were a couple of chips in there from a previous stay. We liked that there was a tv in each bedroom and one in the living room, however the one in the living room did not work. I reported this at the time of arrival but nobody got back to me for the duration of our stay regarding this. I was disappointed that the main tv did not work and that nobody got back in contact with me regarding this. The hot tub was a lovely addition and was well enjoyed, but not all of the jets seemed to be working. This did not affect the use of the hot tub however. The Wi-Fi worked very well at the lodge and overall we would recommend staying here.
