“Overall is satisify.”

However, the dishes, oven and cooking utilities were not clean. We need to wash it once before use.

However, the dishes, oven and cooking utilities were not clean. We need to wash it once before use.

- Ho Yuen, August 2024

Thank you for highlighting the problem with the dishes. I can only assume some previous guests did not use the dishwasher (or did not leave the dishes out for cleaner to see) and put the items away after briefly washing them in the sink. We don’t have many notices for guests as we think a lot of things are common sense such as avoiding putting unclean dishes in a cupboard. Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience.

“The property was great, lovely location, clean and tidy.”

There was something that was damaged, but the owner made it clear in messages that he’d asked for it to be fixed the week before, it wasn’t a problem, Would go back.

Gareth December 2022

“We absolutely love this lodge and it was fantastic to be able to stay there over Christmas.”

It provided us with a relaxing bolt hole away from the usual feeding the masses Christmases past. It was a sad day when we had to come back. We realised that we forgot to leave a message in the visitors book at the lodge but please pass our thanks on to the lodge owners for allowing us to stay in coniston 9. We will be back !!! Gareth and Steph

Tim December 2022

“What a great lodge, went during the cold spell and it was lovely and warm.”

Everything you need for a relaxing winter break. Birds and rabbits on the patio so take some bird food. Short drive to Bowness and Ambleside for shopping, bars and restaurants. Will be going back next year for sure

- Tim, December 2022
Angela November 2022

“Beautiful lodge, well set out, enjoyed our stay.”

A note for the site, there should be more lighting, because you cannot access the property till 5pm, it is dark at this time of the year, difficult to find your way around.

- Angela, November 2022
Rupert July 2022

“The lodge was beautifully decorated and in very close proximity to Windermere.”

We didn't have a chance to use the site facilities as we only stayed for 3 nights but 9 Coniston was very spacious, clean and the beds were all really comfortable. There is absolutely nothing to improve on, but perhaps a darker carpet or a carpet clean every so often. I will not hesitate to come back in the future, and get the impression we were lucky to find a free weekend on 29th July with 5 days notice. Thank you.

- Rupert, July 2022
Anne June 2022

“An excellent lodge & centrally positioned base for touring the Lake District.”

The site is well maintained & gives a lovely feeling of being amongst the trees. Lodges are well spaced out. This lodge had everything we needed and was well equipped. The welcome pack and tea/coffee were much appreciated. Just to note 2 minor things to be mindful of: if you like a large bath towel, bring your own; it can get quite loud when the cabaret act is on in the club. Otherwise I would highly recommend this lodge.

- Anne, June 2022
John March 2022

“Coniston number 9 was fabulous better than some cottages we have stayed in, the kitchen was well equipped coffee machine a nice touch and the welcome pack was great the living area was lovely the beds were very comfy and the showers were amazing overall it was brilliant just wish we had the weather to crank up the bbq and dine on the spacious decking but you can't have everything we really enjoyed our stay, and will definitely be going back.”

Would 100% recommend without hesitation.

We cant wait to go back again.

Jo September 2021

“It was a lovely place to stay.”

The lodge was very open and the interior was simple and cute. Really enjoyed our stay, the check-in, and check-out process was quick and easy with no hassle. The only downside to the stay was the cleanliness of certain parts of the lodge. On arrival, there was an open half-eaten crisp packet left in the hallway, and the plates and bowls in the cabinets had bits of food stuck to them we went to use them. Other than that, everything else was lovely.

- Jo, September 2021
Emily August 2021

“Our accommodation was extremely comfortable and spacious.”

We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of everything inside our lodge and also the peacefulness of the site itself.

- Emily, August 2021
Dee July 2021

“We had an excellent stay There was an issue with the doors not locking but this was due to the extreme heat and someone came out to look at this within 12 hours.”

Highly recommend

Helen July 2021

“The site at White Cross bay is well set out, peaceful and well maintained with helpful staff.”

Coniston No 9 is an exceptionally well equipped Lodge, clean and VERY comfortable. We enjoyed a lovely holiday and the grandchildren loved it too, especially the play areas and lakeside access, including paddling in the lake. It was our first Lodge experience which we intend to repeat, hopefully at No9.

- Helen, July 2021
Maureen June 2021

“The lodge was larger than it looked in images i.”

E. patio doors both out from living area and dining area to decking, Whole lodge was very clean and tidy. Location wise the site was perfectly situated for travelling around the area. Only a ten minute walk up to the visitor centre where we did the high tree top ropes, and you could hire kayaks etc for on the water. Only 15 mins in car to central Windermere and same other direction for Ambleside. We ended up just using the bus to get around as parking was very busy at all the car parks. With bus stops just outside the holiday park this was ideal, however the cost of the buses was expensive. Only discovered on last day that you could buy a weekly ticket that would have saved us money. We couldn't fault the lodge or site. Was not too busy and even strolling up to the club on site was nice. Or in the evening walking down to the water front of the park to sit was very relaxing. Would definitely book again and recommend.

Roger May 2021

“Great cabin in a beautiful location.”

It was great to get away after after lock down even with some restrictions still in place.

Catherine August 2020

“The lodge was very well equipped and felt like home from home.”

We especially liked the decked area with seating and BBQ. The children fell in love with the dog foot stool (which they named Coco) and wanted to bring it home with them

- Catherine, August 2020
Robert August 2020

“Arrived to find a beautifully equipped lodged that was immaculately cleaned and well positioned within the site.”

The staff were extremely polite and helpful. The facilities were good, however, some were unavailable, like the small gym for example, due to Coronavirus restrictions, but this was not totally unexpected. The location of the park was perfect for visiting all the best places in the Lake District and we were incredibly lucky with the weather during the period of our holiday. Only gripe was the poor WiFi and weak mobile signal, which made it difficult to plan things, or make bookings during our stay. Would definitely recommend the site and would use White Cross Bay again for any future stay in the area.

Joanne November 2019

“The park is beautiful and very well maintained The pool and gym were great, as for the restaurant food was delicious and the takeaway option of an evening is a great idea The whole site/park has it spot on!”

As for the lodge, well it was beautiful and the so well kept A real break away just what we needed Only thing to warn visitors the site entrance/ exit is on a national speed limit road entering and leaving the park can be a bit hairy...just be aware

Just writing you a little message as the freezer would not close it’s as if the suction seals no longer were working, so we defrosted the freezer and kept it left turned off until it is fixed other than that everything was perfect with the lodge

- Martin, June 2019
Christina May 2019

“We enjoyed the fact that we could all be together and did not have any restrictions on when we had to get up or what time we would eat at.”

We could watch tv or listen to music or just sit and chat and read a book or magazine in a social area.

- Christina, May 2019
Junaid March 2019

“We are from the U.”

K. but we work abroad for most of the year. Once we landed at Manchester we headed straight to the Lake District and Coniston 9. It was a wonderful welcome home-comfortable and cozy with a touch of luxury! The park is very relaxing and was perfect for our two children with the swimming pool. Coniston 9 has everything you could possibly need and we were very sad to leave! Our only wish is that we had booked for 2 weeks instead of one! We will be back in the future. Thank you!

- Anthony, July 2018
Judith May 2018

“We had a really good stay here.”

The lodge was well equipped and comfortable. Where it is situated on the site is quiet and peaceful but close to reception where there is a pub, convenience store, swimming pool and small gym. We had three sunny days when we opened the doors onto the terrace and enjoyed the sunshine. On the less sunny days (!) it was still nice to sit inside the living area as it is very light and bright. The site is a short drive from Bowness where there are shops, ferries and the Beatrix potter attraction. It is also close to Windermere and you can walk to Brockhole. A great place for family holidays.

“Coniston 9 is a wonderful lodge.”

It was clean and perfect for our family 2 night stay. Little extras were appreciated, such as a tassimo coffee maker and pods supplied and dvds, books etc for our use. I would highly recommend this lodge and site.
