Lakeside 15 – Stunning Lodge on White Cross Bay, Lake Windermere (No Pets)

8/10 Good

"Good setting for exploring the lakes. Well equipped kitchen. Parking provided. A couple of niggles would be that it said we had to go to reception to check in but we didn’t. Then it wasn’t easy to find the lodge - had to go back to reception for a map. Also the oven didn’t seem to work and there were no instructions about the heating as it seemed to be on a timer but it didn’t say anywhere when it came on."
