We stayed in the Bassenwaite Lodge for a week, not knowing what to expect after reading such bad reviews. We had an open mind and hoped for the best. The lodge we stayed in was very nice on initial inspection and had a lovely kitchen and lounge area. The bathrooms were also very nice. The bedrooms were very basic and the linen had seen better days. The outside of the lodge looked rather unkempt with cobwebs all over the balcony area, and whenever a shower or bath was had, the discarded water simply flushed out along the outside of the lodge-not very hygienic!!!! The lodges were also very quite close together, not quite the impression we were given when booking. The swimming pool was very dirty and i personally could not bring myself to swim in the murky water. The bar area was small but nice, although the staff were not very attentive, and you often had to track one down to get a drink. Some of the staff were lovely and friendly, others however were grumpy and quite rude at times. We ordered a takeaway and they didnt get the order correct, when i told them the young girl was trying to tell me i was wrong and was very abrupt, no apology offered. My three children enjoyed the park and open areas and told me to write that it was great for kids. I feel this place has great potential if someone cared for it, and wanted the best for it. A lovely place that needs some TLC.
