    “Lovely lodge in a perfect location, we had a great holiday.”

    The owner of the lodge and the lady who cleans it were really attentive when I needed to call them about a problem. The site staff were also very helpful.

The property

Willows Lodge, a delightful stylish two-bedroom lodge on the popular White Cross Bay Holiday Park, which is tucked away in Troutbeck Bridge on the shores of Lake Windermere.

Set in amongst the breathtaking setting of the Lake District National Park and just a stone’s throw from the illustrious Windermere, this pet-friendly abode is the perfect place for couples, friends, and families to explore the natural beauty of the region and make lasting memories.

Once you arrive at Willows Lodge, you'll be greeted by a welcoming beautifully-styled open-plan living space; make use of a fully-equipped kitchen, complete with all the essentials you need to create delicious meals for everyone to enjoy, before gathering around the dining table to tuck in over a bottle of fizz! If you prefer to dine alfresco, head outdoors onto the wraparound decking, where you can soak up the tranquil atmosphere of the area, and pop corks until sundown.

On cooler evenings, retreat to the inviting sitting area, complete with a handy Smart TV, so you can keep up to date with all your favourite shows or indulge in a movie marathon.

When the evening draws to a close, take your pick of two charming bedrooms, comprising a double with a Smart TV, an en-suite shower room, where you can get ready or wind down for the day in style, and a twin with a Smart TV.

The bathroom is also equipped with all the usual fittings, so you can treat yourself to a revitalising shower or long soak in the tub after a day of exploring your surroundings.
