    “We’ve been coming to White Cross for many years.”

    This lodge had more features than others, such as a wide array of cooking equipment, a dehumidifier and TVs in each bedroom. However, trying to find the lodge was quite difficult, as from the road only the back is visible. In addition, the roads leading up to the lodge are steep, uneven and not well maintained. This made access difficult, and we experienced issues with our car when driving up, resulting in us parking at the main reception for the remainder of the stay, which was not ideal in ...

    This lodge had more features than others, such as a wide array of cooking equipment, a dehumidifier and TVs in each bedroom. However, trying to find the lodge was quite difficult, as from the road only the back is visible. In addition, the roads leading up to the lodge are steep, uneven and not well maintained. This made access difficult, and we experienced issues with our car when driving up, resulting in us parking at the main reception for the remainder of the stay, which was not ideal in the rain or with luggage. On our third day, a section of guttering fell from the lodge, leaving debris hanging over the main gate, which affected access. The master bedroom mattress was also uncomfortable, which affected the quality of sleep. Although the lodge is pleasant and clean, these issues impacted the overall experience and would make us reconsider staying again.

The property

Serenity is a traditional cabin style pine lodge in the Skiptory Howe area of White Cross Bay in a private position within the park with woodland all around plus 2 deck areas: one is secluded with a second to enjoy the sunshine.

Serenity offers a cosy retreat ideal for couples or families looking for a quiet location.

The lodge will sleep up to 6 guests plus an infant in a travel cot.

It’s perfect for a getaway or simply as a base to explore the lakes.

Two dogs are welcome, so the whole family can enjoy a break!

Serenity is located in a slightly hilly location within the Skiptory Howe area of the Park, and the area immediately around the lodge may not be suitable for children playing outside, but the outdoor play area is a short walk away.

On the Park itself, there is a bar and restaurant with an outdoor seating area for dogs, a picnic area and a children’s play zone.

Note: Some facilities in the park are subject to extra costs, such as the use of the pool, entertainment, bar, and restaurant.

You’re also just two miles from the charming Windermere village with shops, cafes and pubs, and three miles from Bowness boat landings, where the elegant cruisers come in and you can hop on a boat trip.

Ambleside is three miles in the other direction, another beautiful town with shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants and of course, fabulous walks in every direction.

A wonderful place to make special memories with your loved ones.
