Nicest holiday park. I’ve ever stopped at

Great accommodation, lovely surroundings.
Debbie
Date of stay: 11th April 2024
One tiny omission was a lack of wooden chopping board. The glass one had the knives quite blunt. Apart from that, a lovely cosy well laid out lodge.
Lisa
Date of stay: 10th November 2023
Great family house, just lacking a nice garden.
Geraint
Date of stay: 5th November 2023
Wonderful cottage. The place provides everything needed for a home from home. The property is warm and welcoming, and the addition of the hot tub is a bonus.
Nicola
Date of stay: 1st November 2023
Beautiful cottage, has everything in you could possibly need. Very close to Ullswater and 2 minutes into Poolley Bridge. The hot tub with the beautiful views was the icing on the cake.

Excellent break, which was booked at the last minute. Friendly, helpful staff were there to meet us and we received an upgrade on the lodge booked which was extremely kind. Lodges were wonderful throughout in a great location. Would definitely return.
Geraint
Date of stay: 1st November 2023
An excellent break at a wonderful location. The cottage had everything we needed do our weekend break (the addition of two large tv screens was a bonus as they were not mentioned in the description). The hot tub is a delight. Will definitely revisit in the future.
Michelle
Date of stay: 1st November 2023
Lovely lodge and cleaned to high standard. Lovely smell when you walked in so very good impression. Good amount of kitchen utensils and cleaning pack was a nice touch. Interaction we had with staff was great. Quite a steep hill so if you’ve got mobility issues this site won’t suit you. WiFi went off on our 3 rd night as weather had been bad but I had lots of data for my son to use. Parents got the bus from pooley bridge to Windermere and found transport links great. I would definitely stay there again.
Jill
Date of stay: 1st November 2023
A new beautiful lodge and a well kept site, in the peaceful surroundings of Pooley Bridge. Staff were friendly and helpful - the only thing that could have worked a little better was the WiFi. Thanks for a super 5 day break:)

Such a pretty cottage with the most amazing views where we were waking up to the sounds of birds and lambs. It is situated away from the main park so perfect for a quiet holiday. Inside, the cottage was very clean, tastefully decorated and fully equipped.
Helen
Date of stay: 24th May 2023
Fab! Only problem was decking was in the shade but that meant we were lovely and secluded! Right next to the play park so not far for little one, silent at night! Just brilliant
Sandra, Doncaster
Date of stay: 17th August 2020
The lodge was clean and well equipped with things for us and for our four legged friend.
We liked the location of this lodge.
Michael, Gb
Date of stay: 14th August 2020
Nice accommodation, central to plenty of places to eat so we just had breakfast in the morning and ate out the rest of the time.
Hot tub facilities and large dining area inside and out if required.
Only issue was no microwave or washing machine.
A bit expensive as we were restricted to entry at 5, although we were able to get in a bit early and had to be out by 9am on last day, due to Covid.
Plenty of Parking, left the cars there on last morning while we went for breakfast at a local cafe.
Overall good place and would recommend place and location
Victoria, Halifax
Date of stay: 7th August 2020
Lovely accommodation, very spacious, nicely furnished and equipped. Just missing chopping boards and a knife sharpener.
Lovely quiet site.
Perfect Location for the lakes
Nicola, Rayleigh
Date of stay: 7th August 2020
only complaint was the journey out onto the a66 everytime we travelled locally due to pooley Bridge closure. We drove 6 hours to get away from traffic and dual carriage ways.. no ones fault tho and hopefully next time will be all finished and we can enjoy why we continue to visit the lakes every year. It is stunning.. accommodation was perfect.. we all had a wonderful time !

Diane, Leigh
Date of stay: 18th July 2020
Nice cottage in a lovely setting, just 5 minutes walk from Pooley Bridge. Although on a campsite/holiday park, the cottage is located away from the main area and as such is peaceful and quiet. The cottage has excellent facilities, plenty of crockery, glasses and cutlery. Bedrooms are spacious and beds are very comfortable. The shower is electric and not very powerful but it functioned okay. The highlight was the hot tub, which had excellent views of the surrounding fells, and was a great place to relax after a day out walking. I would highly recommend to couples or small families.

Wow what a fabulous cottage! Absolutley loved it, everything you needed and more! Lovely and clean too! We stayed during storm Dennis so we were limited for activity so chilled out in the cottage most of the time..the hot tub was amazing and spotless...sky tv movies came in handy for the kids..and we loved the bathroom! The place was so warm and the log fire was a treat. Pooley bridge is a 5 min walk away where youve got a selection of pubs which we wandered in a couple of times when we braved the weather. The owner was very friendly. We'll definatley be back soon!
Paula
Just returned from a 5 night stay in the Dorchester lodge. The location of the site is perfect for a stroll into Pooley Bridge and lots of lovely walks around the area. Friendly staff and well maintained site. Would highly recommend.
Mark
We stayed in meadowbank cottage, it was fabulous from start to finish! You can’t get better views! Hot tub was a bonus. Cleanliness was spot on and the little touches were appreciated. We would definitely return.
Mary
Had a fantastic time. The accommodation was 5 star and the the site was very well run, I will definitely be returning. Plenty to do in the area.
Lesley
This is the 5th or 6th time at hillcroft over a period of say 10 to 12 years and not one has been a bad one although there has been some changes but we will always go for the lodge and that never disappoints loved our time and will certainly will come again in the very near future.

Amazing park , well set out , little walk into village and the lake , lodges brilliant, definitely be returning soon.
Marina
Beautiful immaculately clean lodge with everything you could need for your holiday. You always worry staying in pet friendly accommodation but not here it was sparkling. The grounds are amazing.The whole site is so well looked after. Short walk into Pooley bridge with enough pub/restaurants to visit albeit they seem to have the same menus. A bit of variety would be nice .

Ideally placed for visiting Ullswater and plenty of excellent walks on the doorstep.
