High Perch is a charming lodge nestled in White Cross Bay Park (Parkdean), near Troutbeck, Cumbria.
Set within the Lake District National Park, it is a wonderful base for families and friends eager to explore this well-loved region, benefiting from off-road parking for two cars, a decked outdoor area, onsite facilities and pet-friendly accommodation, this inviting retreat is well placed for both relaxation and adventure.
Upon arrival, pull into the private parking space and step onto the decking, where outdoor furniture creates a lovely spot to enjoy a morning brew while taking in the fresh Lakeland surroundings.
Venture inside and discover an open-plan living area designed for spending time together, where a large corner sofa awaits after busy days exploring the fells.
Rest your feet on the rug with a favourite book in hand, or settle beside the electric fire as conversations flow and plans are made for tomorrow's excursions.
Later in the evening, stream a film on the Smart TV and make use of the WiFi while unwinding indoors.
At the centre of the lodge is the kitchen and dining area, a sociable setting where delicious meals can be prepared and enjoyed together.
The range cooker with gas hob and oven offers plenty of space for creating anything from leisurely breakfasts to satisfying evening suppers, while the microwave provides added convenience.
Keep ingredients fresh in the fridge/freezer and leave the dishwasher to handle the washing up while you gather around the dining table beneath the attractive overhead lighting and reflect on the day's experiences.
When sleep calls, choose between two welcoming bedrooms.
The king-size bedroom enjoys the added benefit of an en-suite shower room with a heated towel rail, offering a refreshing start to each morning, while the twin room is served by a nearby shower room, also featuring a heated towel rail and providing a pleasant space to freshen up after countryside walks.
Gas central heating runs throughout the lodge, ensuring a comfortable environment all year round.
Outside, the decking continues the living space outdoors, offering a pleasant setting for alfresco dining or simply enjoying the surrounding atmosphere.
A lawned area to the rear with a picnic bench provides a delightful spot to savour a leisurely lunch beneath the open sky, while days at White Cross Bay Park (Parkdean) can be spent making the most of the shared leisure facilities.
Start the morning with a few lengths in the indoor heated swimming pool, return after a fell-top ramble to unwind in the sauna or Jacuzzi, or enjoy friendly competition in the multi-use games area while younger guests let off steam in the play park.
Whether seeking relaxation or family fun, these facilities offer another way to enjoy your time in the Lake District.
A shop and pub can both be found within easy reach, while the shores of Lake Windermere are nearby for waterside strolls and scenic views.
Venture to Lake Windermere for boat trips, lakeside walks and opportunities to get out on the water, explore Ambleside's independent shops, historic Bridge House and the woodland setting of Stock Ghyll Force, or spend time in Bowness-on-Windermere discovering The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, dining beside the lake and enjoying a cruise across England's largest natural lake.
Whether you're seeking outdoor pursuits, popular Lakeland towns or memorable days by the water, High Perch offers an excellent base from which to experience the best of Cumbria.
