Black Dog sleeps four people, with room for an infant in a cot, and has a light and contemporary interior – a great space in which to relax and escape everyday life.
The private, gated deck also has he added bonus of a private hot tub, to allow complete relaxation at the end of a busy day.
Dogs are welcome here too so your four legged friends get to enjoy a holiday too!
The perfect base for discovering the delights of the Lake District.
White Cross Bay is in a fabulous location, on the shores of Lake Windermere, with views across the water and to the surrounding fells, you are literally in the heart of the Lake District.
Black Dog Lodge is a short walk from the waterside where you can head down to the jetties, breathe in the fresh air, enjoy the views and watch the boats on the marina.
On the Park itself, there is a bar and restaurant with outdoor seating area for dogs, picnic area and children’ play zone.
Note: Some facilities on the park are subject to extra cost such as use of the pool, entertainment, bar and restaurant.
500 yards up the main A591 is Brockhole Lake District Visitor Centre, with a great way to spend a day with gardens, house, café, restaurant, walks, boats, adventure playground and Tree Top Trek: there’s lots to do!
You’re also just two miles from bustling 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.
Bowness is a cosmopolitan village with award-winning restaurants and pubs and quirky shops, a cinema and the ever- popular World of Beatrix Potter attraction.
Three miles in the other direction, head to Ambleside, another bustling town with shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants and of course, fabulous walks in every direction.
Two miles north on the A592 is the pretty village of Troutbeck, home to two traditional pubs with log fires, great food and ales: The Queens Head and the Mortal Man.
You’ll also discover beautiful Holehird Gardens, and the National Trust’s fascinating Townend House.
Further on you climb up to the magnificent Kirkstone Pass, then drop down to Brotherswater & Ullswater.
All in all a wonderful place to make some lasting memories with your loved ones.

What guests are saying
Beautiful lodge, clean and cosy, quiet site, very peaceful.
Amazing views all around and not to far from the little villages Friendly and helpful staff Quick response from owners, Will definitely be booking again
On first impressions lovely Lodge, great location within the park(this is our 3rd time at this Lodge but has since been taken over from our last visit), everything you need within the Lodge itself but cleanliness was a big issue.
Lots of dog hair/debris in corners of all rooms, especially round the radiator pipes, window sills not been cleaned, lots of debris/dead flies behind the sofa, dining room chairs covered in black dog hairs and all stained and dirty, few hairs in fridge which is a big no-no!, black dog hairs on all cushions on the sofas( the lighter cushions also very stained), few dog hairs also found in the double bedding, round the shower screen tray on the outside very dirty with hairs within,one of the single mattresses could do with replacing, went to sit outside one of the days when the sun was shining but found the cream cushions for the chairs covered in black dog hairs, luckily enough the grey cushions for the outside sofa seemed to be not too bad. I feel for the money paid to stay the cleanliness was a big issue for me. Overall the location of the park is central to Ambleside/Windermere with everything on your doorstep.
Looked lovely when we 1st walked in a few cobwebs in places not enough knifes and forks no privacy when using the hot tub we also had to leave early as all the mattresses were not fit for purpose both of us could not get a good night sleep even when we tried the single beds

All hot tubs are maintained to strict industry standards and HSE guidelines by separate qualified independent contractors on behalf of the property owners. This includes changing the water between guest stays and checking the water condition on a regular basis.
