A lodge with a view, and Wow, what a view. A truly spectacular location on the shores of Lake Windermere and an amazing three bedroom holiday lodge with hot tub. Immaculately presented to accommodate up to 6 guests and a little one. Superb! One small well behaved dog welcome.

Overall, it's a fabulous lodge in a great location. Beds were comfortable and the was lodge cosy. We found a few dirty plates and the complementary milks were out of date but nothing major. Park Dean is very dog friendly and are all over the restaurant so keep an open mind about that.

Would return!

Lodge is in an amazing location close to the lake which is lovely if you sit outside on the fab decking area and just look over towards the lake.

It was lovely to have the complimentary Prosecco that was a nice touch.

Beds are really comfy and spacious especially the one in the main bedroom.

All in all a well looked after comfy perfectly positioned lodge.

We stayed in September and thoroughly enjoyed it . Or party ranged in ages from 7 years to 87 and the lodge was suited to us all. It is in a great location, close to the lake but also allows some privacy especially when using the hot tub . Great hospitality tray which was welcome when we arrived and the lodge was clean and well equipped. This is our 4th stay at this lodge the first with this company . We hope to visit this lodge again.

Chris - Lakes Cottages and Lodges replied 280 days ago
Hi Russell and Thank you very much for your feedback. We will pass your comments over to the owner for his consideration although we are aware due to how the hot tub is positioned and opens it may prove a bit difficult to mount a cantilever parasol. This could restrict access to the tub. We do thank you very much though for this and we are very happy to hear you had a great time. We do hope to welcome you back again in the near future.

Stunning Lodge

Fabulous stay at Footprints by the Lake. The lodge is really tastefully decorated and has everything you need for your stay. Nice linen, good kitchen facilities, nice touches throughout. Thanks for the Prosecco on arrival.
Loved the hot tub! Unfortunately, we didn’t get to make good use of the large decking due to the weather but it was a great asset to the property.

The one improvement I would suggest would be the inclusion of private wifi. White cross bay’s wasn’t great.

The White cross bay site is just ok but you can choose to be involved with it or not.

I will hopefully have the opportunity to stay here again when the weather is better.

We arrived for a long weekend as a family with a small dog. Lovely surprise to have a bottle of prosecco on arrival too :)
The lodge was modern, comfortable, spacious and is in a stunning location right on the lake. We very much enjoyed sitting on the decking (when the weather allowed), and spent lots of time in the hot tub. The hot tub was very spacious and very relaxing. You have all you need for a relaxing time away. Beds and sofas were very comfy. The only very SLIGHT downside was that the lodge did not look like it had been hoovered. The rest of the lodge was spotless but I had to get the hoover out when we got there as there were bits all over the floor. This did not spoil what was an amazing trip in a stunning lodge though. We will def be back!

Thank you for the review, Lisa. Footprints is indeed a fabulous lodge, and we are so pleased to hear you thought so too. Whilst pleased you enjoyed your stay and had a relaxing time, we do note your comments about the cleaning and can only apologise that the hoovering appeared to have been overlooked. We do know that there was a power cut on the park that day which may have caused some issues with the housekeeping team. Nonetheless, this should have been picked up and we are sorry for any inconvenience caused. The cleaning company have been made aware of your comments although we are sure that it was a one off. Footprints by the Lake is a stunning lodge with amazing lake views complete with hot tub.. the perfect holiday retreat. Thank you for letting us know you will be returning, we look forward to you coming!

Beautiful lodge

We really enjoyed our stay. The lodge is beautiful and location is amazing. The beds are comfortable and lodge is very well equipped. We enjoyed the hot tub and eating outside, where there are two different seating areas. I loved a morning cup of tea sat outside looking at the lake.

We will definitely be back, thank you.

We booked for a long weekend break.
We was pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the beautiful view from outside the lodge (side view of the lake) .
The lodge was clean, modern and comfy, hot tub was clean on arrival and checked daily. Easy access to Ambleside, Bowness-on-Windermere & Windermere itself all within 10 min drive.
A dog friendly clubhouse on site which makes a huge difference.
Fortunately we had some lovely weather & Watching the sunset over the lake in the evening was one of my personal highlights. So peaceful.

Would recommend & stay again!

Thank you.
