Date of stay: 25th September 2024
Really enjoyed the peaceful vibe here, perfect for walks, lovely food and a super friendly atmosphere. Would return!
Emily
Date of stay: 16th September 2024
We had a bit of a hiccup with the boiler in our caravan, but they sorted us out with an upgrade. Honestly, it was the best stay we’ve had! Definitely will be coming back.
Emma
Date of stay: 8th September 2024
Great stay, comfy lodges, everything we needed for a lovely getaway.
Emily Carter
Date of stay: 21st August 2024
Really enjoyed staying here, the lodge was super cosy with stylish decor. Everything we needed was there, perfect!
Emma
Date of stay: 19th August 2024
The lodge was pretty tidy and comfy, which made our week enjoyable. The only thing was the twin beds-they’re quite narrow, so not ideal for adults. Still, we had a nice time!
Emma Clarke
Date of stay: 2nd June 2024
We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage, it was spotless and had everything we needed. Loved that it was tucked away from the busy main site, especially during half term. The hot tub was a highlight-always warm and super clean, checked regularly by staff. The only tiny gripe was the TV; it’s massive but a bit too high on the wall for comfy viewing.
Emily Carter
Date of stay: 26th May 2024
Really loved the vibe, will return soon!

Overall, a lovely stay! The lodge was cosy and well decorated, but we did notice the glass chopping board made the knives blunt. Still, highly recommend!
Emma
Date of stay: 10th November 2023
Lovely family home, but the garden could be better.
Oliver
Date of stay: 5th November 2023
We loved staying here! The cottage really felt like a cosy home from home and the hot tub was definitely the cherry on top. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway.
Emma
Date of stay: 1st November 2023
We loved staying at this lovely cottage! Everything we needed was there and it’s so close to Ullswater and Poolley Bridge. The hot tub with those stunning views was definitely the highlight for us!
Emma Carter
Date of stay: 1st November 2023
We had a fantastic last-minute getaway! The staff were so welcoming and helpful, making us feel right at home. The lodge upgrade was a lovely surprise and everything about the location was just perfect. We’ll definitely be back soon!
Oliver
Date of stay: 1st November 2023
We had a fantastic weekend at this lovely spot. The cottage was well-equipped and those two big TVs were a nice surprise! The hot tub was just what we needed to unwind. Definitely planning to come back soon. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway!
Emma
Date of stay: 1st November 2023
We had a lovely stay at this lodge! The place was spotless and had a really welcoming smell when we arrived - it made a great first impression. The kitchen was well-equipped and the cleaning pack was a thoughtful touch. The staff were friendly and helpful, which we appreciated. However, the hill leading up to the site is pretty steep, so it might not be ideal if you have mobility issues. The WiFi dropped out on our third night due to bad weather, but luckily we had plenty of data. We’d definitely come back!
Emma
Date of stay: 1st November 2023
We loved the tranquil setting of Pooley Bridge and the gorgeous lodge. The site was spotless and well maintained. Staff were genuinely friendly and accommodating. The WiFi was a bit hit-or-miss, but honestly, it didn’t spoil our lovely 5-day getaway at all!
Emma Carter
Date of stay: 1st November 2023
Great experience for our group
Sarah
Date of stay: 28th May 2023
We stayed at this lovely cottage and absolutely loved it! The views are stunning, waking up to birdsong and lambs was so peaceful. It’s tucked away from the busy park, making it ideal for a quiet getaway. Inside was spotless, beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. Brilliant trip!
Emma
Date of stay: 24th May 2023
We loved the place! The decking was in the shade, which made it super peaceful and being close to the play park was perfect for the little one. Quiet nights too-really was just brilliant!
Emma, Doncaster
Date of stay: 17th August 2020
Really enjoyed our stay! The lodge was spotless, had everything we needed and our dog loved it too. The location was spot on.
James, Gb
Date of stay: 14th August 2020
We stayed here recently and found the location really handy, close to loads of good places to eat. We mainly just grabbed breakfast at the accommodation and then went out for the rest of the day. The hot tub was a nice touch, plus there was a big indoor and outdoor dining area if we needed it. The only downsides were no microwave or washing machine, which was a bit annoying. It was a bit pricey too, especially since check-in was only from 5pm, though they let us in a little earlier. We had to leave by 9am on the last day because of Covid restrictions. Parking was plentiful and we left the cars there while grabbing breakfast at a nearby cafe. Overall, a good spot and we’d recommend both the place and the area.
Emma, Halifax
Date of stay: 7th August 2020
We had a great stay! The place was spacious and well-furnished, perfect for relaxing. Only missing a chopping board and a knife sharpener-small details! The location is ideal for exploring the lakes and the site was super peaceful. Would definitely come back!
Emma, Rayleigh
Date of stay: 7th August 2020
Honestly, our trip was fantastic apart from the annoying drive out onto the A66 because of the Pooley Bridge closure. We spent six hours escaping busy roads and dual carriageways, but that’s just how it is sometimes. Fingers crossed it’s all sorted next time so we can fully enjoy the stunning scenery. The accommodation was spot on and we all had such a great time!
Emma, Gb
Date of stay: 31st July 2020
Great family break, lots to keep everyone busy, caravan was well equipped.
Mark, Derbyshire
Date of stay: 24th July 2020

Emma, Exeter
Date of stay: 20th July 2020
The caravan was really clean and surprisingly spacious! The location was perfect, private and peaceful. We loved the modern, tidy design. Definitely a great stay overall!
Emma Collins, Leigh
Date of stay: 18th July 2020
We really enjoyed our stay at this cosy cottage just a short stroll from Pooley Bridge. It’s tucked away on a quiet part of the campsite, so it’s peaceful and not busy at all. The place is well-equipped with lots of crockery, glasses and cutlery, which was handy. The bedrooms are spacious and the beds super comfy - we had a great sleep. The shower isn’t the most powerful, but it did the job. The best part? The hot tub with stunning views of the fells - perfect for unwinding after a long walk. Would definitely recommend for couples or small families looking for a relaxing getaway!
Sarah, Kent
Date of stay: 11th July 2020
Comfortable stay, highly recommended
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.

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

Beautiful lodge in a great location!
