Woodland Nook is a modern and comfortable holiday lodge sleeping four people, at White Cross Bay, on the shores of Lake Windermere. The lodge sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and is a short distance to the clubhouse and facilities. With its spacious open plan living and dining area and fully equipped kitchen, it’s a lovely retreat but with all the comforts of home. The outdoor decking and lounging furniture means you can enjoy an al fresco breakfast or perhaps an evening glass of something chilled. Woodland Nook also welcomes two dogs so the whole family get to enjoy a holiday. 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 and your lodge will be just a few yards from the waterside. 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 its gardens, house, café, restaurant, walks, boats, adventure playground and Tree Top Trek: there’s lots to do! You’re also just two miles from Windermere village with shops, cafes and pubs, and three miles from Bowness boat landings, where the cruisers come in. Bowness is a cosmopolitan village with award-winning restaurants and pubs and quirky shops, a cinema and the 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, walks in every direction. Two miles north on the A592 is the pretty village of Troutbeck, home to two traditional pubs with log fires: The Queens Head and the Mortal man; Holehird Gardens, and the National Trust’s Townend House. Further on you climb up to the magnificent Kirkstone Pass, then drop down to Brotherswater & Ullswater. An amazing holiday in the Lake District awaits you.
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.

Unfortunately I have to agreed with other reviews there was an off smell. The on suite bathroom had used razors in the shower cady(might still be there I wasnât lifting them) and the bottom of the shower unit was coming away . There was damp behind the curtain in the main bedroom. The bed in the twin room was uncomfortable to be honest I think it needs replaced . Perhaps kids had been jumping on it. There were artificial nails behind the single bed. There was no lighting in the main bathroom either. The crockery needed washed prior to using. Whoever cleans the lodge surely must notice the issues. Couldnât get through to the numbers provided on the email prior to arrival to get the code for the barrier. We tried live chat but they advised the booking ref was incorrect . We all headed home early on the Sunday.
