We stayed at this lodge recently and honestly, it’s really well put together with high quality finishes all around. They’ve thought of pretty much everything! The only tricky part was trying to keep the temperature just right-those sunny days and chilly nights made it tricky. The deck and hot tub were definitely highlights, both absolutely lovely. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely recommend it to others!

The lodge was spotless and well-equipped, really impressed. Would've loved a handheld vacuum to keep everything tidy throughout the week though. Still, great stay!

The place was really good for what we paid, quiet spot and had all essentials. Sofa bed wasn’t the comfiest, but manageable!

The caravan was spotless and clearly well looked after, which we really appreciated. We did find it a bit tricky without a thermostat to manage the heating, relying solely on individual radiator valves. Maybe park management could think about adding one for easier control. Still, a lovely stay overall!

So, we arrived on Friday afternoon and our caravan, 18 Howgils, had a damaged twin bedroom door. We called reception around 4 pm and they said someone would come to look at it. After unpacking, we headed to the on-site bar and called again at 5 pm to confirm the repair was underway. They told us a maintenance guy was going up to fix it. When we got back around 7:30 pm, the door was still broken and when we rang reception again, we were told the maintenance team finished at 4:30 pm. Honestly, that was pretty disappointing, especially since we’d been told differently earlier. Thankfully, the next day things got sorted and we could enjoy the rest of our holiday.
There were also other little issues around the caravan - some parts weren’t finished properly and the end of the drive looked a bit rough. It’s not a huge deal, but considering how well the site was maintained overall, it was a bit of a let-down. Oh and we had to ask for a hoover; no cleaning was provided mid-week, which was a surprise with a dog and kids about! Reception did arrange for a cleaner to come, so that was sorted eventually. Also, the cladding panels on the caravan were loose, some access doors underneath were missing and the window trims were coming off. It’s a shame because the place has potential, but these little things really could be improved.

We really enjoyed our stay here! The site itself is lovely and the pool was nice and warm, which was a real highlight. The Hive pod was spacious and well stocked, making it super comfortable for us. We brought along our three kids-aged 7, 12 and 12-and they loved it too. The only thing we found a bit tricky was that there aren’t many places within walking distance to explore, so we had to drive at least half an hour for full days out, which was fine but a bit of a hassle. Plus, when we returned, the pool and cafe were closed, so longer opening hours would be a bonus if you want to stay on site all day. Still, we’d definitely come back, especially with younger children!

Overall, we had a lovely stay. The bar and restaurant served up some really delicious food and the swimming area was spotless. A couple of small things would make it even better-like comfy chairs on the balcony and a cover on the mattress for hygiene. We’d definitely recommend and hope to come back soon!

Great experience overall, we'll definitely be coming back again soon! The mini mart's closure was a bit of a bummer though.

We just wanted a fresh, modern update for our caravan, but having only 3 forks and cups made things tricky for a family of four. Plus, all the kids fighting in the park wasn't exactly relaxing for the little ones!

Amazing site and very friendly staff. Beautiful location and very clean

What a fabulous Park. Upon arrival the park is just so beautiful, well presented and clean - yes it has refurb and building works going on but that doesn't spoil anything. All staff we came across were extremely friendly and helpful, we felt genuinely welcome. We stayed in one of the Hive which were just fantastic for what we wanted and exceeded our expectations with no expense spared.
The location and setting is perfect for all types of people with Appleby just down the road and the Lakes just over an hour away or perfect to make the most of the park and just relax.
We have stayed on many parks and can honestly say this is one of the best by far with a lot of improvements already going on. Will be returning again very soon and would stay in a Hive again or may be treat ourselves to a caravan.
Karen
Park was amazing. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The surrounding area was beautiful and lots of things to see and do.
Charmaine
Great place in beautiful surroundings only negative would be the bar only sells pizza on the menu which means having to go off site for meals but didn’t ruin our trip away
Victoria
Was brilliant we tried to book an extra night but it wasn’t aloud which is a shame. There’s no shop on site but. 5 minute drive to Appleby was shops to use.
The restaurant was lovely fairly priced & staff were amazing! The only thing I’d say was the view of construction but it can’t be helped & it’s helping improve the park so no bother! Will defo be returning
Christine
Would happily come again.
John
Just back from a lovely weekend break here. The receptionist was super friendly and really tried to give our dog treats even though he sometimes wasn't interested. The bar is lovely and ic the new building work matches up to that it will be amazing
Kerry
Visited this park many times, the staff are amazing especially Caitlin
We were put in brand new caravan in the new development, which was lovely. Only negative is every cupboard in kitchen had something in it so finding space for food we’d taken was struggle out of sight of kids lol
The new restaurant was open but unfortunately the toilets were not so 4 portaloos were in car park opposite which were everything you’d expect, smelly and unpleasant. It was extremely busy with nice weather and staff did best under challenging conditions
I’ll definitely be back
Michelle
We had a great short break at wild rose Park. The friendliness of the staff was amazing nothing was too much trouble. We stayed in a pet hive as travelled with our dog.
The area was a little remote which we were aware of, but we walked into ormside, travelled by car to Appleby and the dog loved the dog park at the site. The bar and food was great, the pool was chilly but my son had great fun in there.
The ice-cream farm near to penrith was great fun for my son and the ice-cream was divine!
Christine
We would happily return, especially as the facilities are being increased with new pool etc being built. The caravan gave the impression of being new and was immaculate, and the view was spectacular. Need a car to get anywhere but Appleby is only a few minutes’ drive away and the Lakes are reasonable distance for an outing.
