Excellent stay!
From booking, through to end of stay, communication was excellent and the process very easy. The lodge itself is stunning and has everything you need. The decor is lovely and they’ve thought of everything with all the little personal touches. The outdoor area is spacious with lovely comfy seating areas, undercover areas (for the predictable wet Lake District weather!) and of course, the bonus of the hot tub! Maintained daily and very clean. The owners, Kate and Nick were really helpful- going out of their way to ensure we had a wonderful stay. Will deffo be going back 🙂

Excellent accommodation in a perfect location
Just back from an amazing girls’ weekend at Mistletoe Lodge. The Lodge is maintained to an incredibly high standard and is absolutely gorgeous with beautiful decor. It’s cosy and comfortable and a great place to relax and unwind. I loved the hot tub - perfect relaxation. The Lodge is in a fantastic, secluded location surrounded by trees. The owner, Kate, is wonderful and extremely helpful. I can’t recommend Mistletoe Lodge highly enough!

Mistletoe Lodge 5*
Just back from a lovely trip to this fantastic lodge in Windermere. Kate the owner was lovely, and kept us well informed about all the information we would need regarding our stay. The Lodge is very well maintained and decorated to a high standard, very homely as well. Also the Hot Tub was a lovely bonus. Its also situated at a beautiful part of the lake district Windermere ( white cross bay holiday park ) where you are 5 to 10 minute walk from the lake, and a short drive to Ambleside , Bowness of Windermere and other surrounding towns. It was our first time as a family staying in the Lake District, and we wouldn't hesitate to come back and stay here if the lodge was available.

Elevated position
5 of us (mature ladies) stayed here and we’re pleasantly surprised by the elevated and secluded position of the lodge which doesn’t show on the pictures. It meant more privacy especially around the hot tub which was delightful. Very well equipped and laid out the host had thought of everything you may need. We used buses, which stops outside park to access surrounding areas so car never left the drive.

Perfect dog friendly luxury lodge
We have just spent a weekend break at the Mistletoe lodge. This lodge is beautiful and very private. Hot tub was a right treat and outdoor seating/decking was enjoyable on a sunny day. Great location, right next to the Marina. Kate (the owner) was very accommodating. We will stay here again! The resort has a children's play area, indoor swimming pool/spa and a pub, so great for families.

Amazing family holiday!
The lodge surpassed our expectations in terms of its location and how lovely it is inside. It’s tucked away in the park and is completely private, but only a five minute walk from the pool, shop, and play area. We spent a lot of time at the Brockhole visitor centre which is only a 15 min walk away and has a great adventure playground and lovely walks. Do book well in advance if you want to try any of the tree-top activities though as they were full all week.
