About this property
With its superb location just one minute from the shores of Lake Windermere, this well-appointed Lakeland lodge is perfect for a family with up to two younger children. The lodge is well-presented throughout and offers an excellent outdoor sitting area and access to all the benefits of White Cross Bay with its bar, restaurant, shop and leisure club.
From the private parking space, steps lead up to the raised decking and into the lodge itself. The open plan sitting room is tastefully furnished with welcoming sofas and chairs arranged around the delightful flame effect fire. A family dining table is a wonderful spot for sharing delicious meals, chatting and perhaps enjoying a board game or two. Doors open from here onto the decking outside with patio furniture perfectly positioned for soaking up the sun.
The lodge’s kitchen is modern and well-equipped, with a breakfast bar and array of contemporary appliances including a wine fridge, all important dishwasher and washing machine. The bedrooms are at the rear of the property with one double bedroom with TV and en-suite cloakroom, and a twin room with children’s twin beds. A large family shower room comes with powerful shower, basin and a second wc.
White Cross Bay is highly regarded with its range of 5 star facilities including a children’s play area, amusement arcade, indoor heated swimming pool, sauna and gym. It also has a useful shop, although with the villages of Ambleside and Windermere being just down the road, there is plenty of choice when it comes to stocking up on groceries, browsing the shops and enjoying the many cafés, bars and cosy pubs on offer.
The twin towns of Bowness and Windermere are both vibrant, fun-filled places set within the splendid scenery of the Lake District. Both towns provide a range of amenities, shops and restaurants to suit all tastes whilst Ambleside offers the additional attraction of a boat ride to Bowness, the Lakeside Aquarium and Beatrix Potter's 'Hill Top House' at Sawrey. Grizedale Forest Park is within easy driving distance and is home to a range of activities including many good walks, mountain biking and the 'Go Ape' adventure park. The region also boasts many National Trust properties as well as a variety of water sports for those who prefer a more adrenaline-fuelled trip. Children will enjoy a trip to the 'World of Beatrix Potter' in Bowness whilst the villages of Grasmere, Coniston Water, Kendal, Keswick and the Lakeland Mountains are all within easy reach.

We enjoyed it very much. The cottage was very clean and spacious. Everything you need was there. However, the presence of a parasol would be very nice. The bed is on the short side for tall people. But this didn't spoil the fun.

Very dirty property. Black long hair on floors, in bedding and in shower. Arrived to boiler not working and no heating. When reporting this, this was not rectified. Single beds were wobbly, wifi,kept going off. I feel this property is run down. Its obvious an ongoing problem with boiler after reading guests feedback and seeing marks on carpet off radiators. Sykes cottages have been appalling and very difficult to get in contact with. I have been told no compensation as owner is refusing. Well if you reading this under the Consumer Rights Act requires the property owner or holiday company to provide the accommodation with reasonable care and skill, therefore you should expect the accommodation to be clean and safe. This was not clean or we felt safe due to boiler. Even the fire did not sound good. I was informed maintenance had fixed it... no they did not as not one person rang me or entered cabin. I had to speak to an independent heating engineer since my daughter really needed a shower on the second night after completing the great North Swim. Mind after having to go and buy cleaning products. I don't expect toilet roll half rolls to be at the property either.
