White Cross Bay

Holiday Lodges at White Cross Bay

Your holiday lodge at this popular Lake District park offers a perfect combination of lakeside charm and woodland tranquility. Rated 5 stars by Visit Britain, the park sits on the shores of Lake Windermere, conveniently located between the villages of Windermere and Ambleside.

Easily accessible from the A591, the 60-acre site is set within mature woodland that slopes down to the bay and marina. A commemorative stone outside reception marks the location’s history as a former Second World War aerodrome, where Sunderland seaplanes were built.

Awarded the David Bellamy Conservation Award, the park is surrounded by fells and ever-changing seasonal scenery. It provides an ideal base for a family holiday, with a wide range of on-site facilities. Guests can relax in the indoor pool, spa pool, sauna, and steam room, while younger family members can enjoy the children’s play area and seasonal activities during school holidays. Evening family entertainment is offered at peak times.

Food and drink are available at the Boathouse Bar and Restaurant, which includes indoor seating, a small outdoor area, and a beer garden — perfect for meals or a casual drink after a day of exploring.

The park is also conveniently located for local attractions. The Lake District Visitor Centre at Brockhole is just a few minutes away, where you can enjoy lakeside walks, gardens, and adventure activities. From there, Windermere Lake Cruises provide easy access to Ambleside, Bowness-on-Windermere, and other nearby destinations.
