We booked a private lodge Mon-Fri for what we thought was a really good price, especially in the half term holiday. Our lodge was in a lovely secluded position, but not far from the lake. We ate in the restaurant on our first night, and were pleasantly surprised at the food (two courses for around £14). Our bill was wrong... More

I stayed here recently with my parents, sister and niece. The park itself was great (quiet, safe, great scenery) and the location was perfect. The lodge was lovely and warm and there was always plenty of hot water. However I was disappointed that the superior lodge, rented directly from the park and not a private owner, wasn't quite so superior.... More

Stayed in a lodge that was privately owned (as suggested by other reviewers as these tend to be better equipped and cleaner) found via Owners Direct property number E7955.. All communication via the owner was prompt and efficient. It was amazingly well-equipped and included all linen, bathroom stuff and even a few dishwasher tablets as well as iPod and speakers... More

Booked a luxurious caravan through a private owner. It worked out at nearly half price than booking through south lakeland holidays. The caravan was lovely with lots of extras like bbq,porch swing and outdoor table that you don't get when booking direct. park facilities were good with pool,bar,shop and the added bonus of being right on the lake.it was beautiful....

Lovely caravans and price along with amazing location. Just beside Lake Windermere. Wifi is also available but connecting through mobile experiences drops. Connectivity through laptops is good though. The caravans are clean with lots of utensils for cooking.

If you're thinking about a trip to the Lake District and considering South Lakeland Holidays, do it. Both Whitecross and Falbarrow are in great locations and have terrific onsite facilities (including restaurant, bar, shop, children's play areas and lakeside access.
