Guests have mentioned thoughtful touches, such as personal gifts and a Christmas tree during the festive season. While these gestures are greatly appreciated, they are unique to each stay and not guaranteed.

About this property

Esk Pike Lodge boasts a traditional style and is positioned in the Skiptory Howe area of the beautiful White Cross Bay Holiday Park. The lodge enjoys one of the most private positions on the park with woodland surrounding three sides making this the ideal choice for your secluded break. Step inside to be welcomed into a homely living/dining room where you can relax in the evening with a film night and the warmth from the gas fire. Walk through the curtains which separate the kitchen space from the living/dining area to find a fully equipped kitchen, perfect for making delicious meals. Whatever the weather you will find entertainment with a selection of board games to save for a rainy day, as well as the lodge providing its own dedicated WiFi and boasting TVs in each bedroom. Make the most of the privacy by enjoying relaxing soaks in the bubbling hot tub which sits beneath a fabulous shelter so you can happily unwind in all weathers, with outdoor furniture too perfect for alfresco dining. White Cross Bay sits on the shores of Lake Windermere, with the lovely marina straight ahead of you and boats bobbing around. Head down to the jetties where you can watch the cruisers sail by, enjoy the breeze and the fantastic views. There is a pool, club house and small shop on the site too. Note: Some facilities on the park are subject to extra cost such as use of the pool, entertainment, bar and restaurant. Coming out of White Cross Bay park entrance and turning left then 500 yards up the main road is Brockhole Lake District Visitor Centre, where you could easily spend a day, enjoying gardens, house, café, restaurant, walks, boats, adventure playground and Tree Top Trek. You’re also just two miles from Windermere village with shops, cafes and pubs, and three miles from Bowness-on-Windermere a cosmopolitan village with award-winning restaurants and pubs and quirky shops, a cinema and the World of Beatrix Potter attraction and where Windermere Lake Cruises come and go. 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. Make wonderful memories in the Lake District with your loved ones at Esk Pike Lodge.

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.

    it is very homely especially at this time of year with the christmas tree and decorations up! me and my partner absolutely loved it no faults everything was just perfect. Very clean lodge with everything you need for your stay. I have stayed at white cross before in different lodges but this one is just everything and more. The owners provide you with a variety of games, internet and a smart tv. I would 100% recommend and i will definitely be staying again!

  • Susan

    The kitchen could do with a few more utensils such as a colander, wine glasses maybe a small folding table to eat at. Especially when the weather isn’t good enough to sit on decking.

  • Rob

    The hot tub is an added bonus. We enjoyed out stay and will book again. However the WIFI is terrible, we could not access the private WIFI account at all and the park one drops out constantly, the TV had no signal whatsoever!! (I know you do not go on holiday to watch TV but with a teenager and a rainy day there was not much else to do!!) The only other things worth a mention, there is no dining table (again not an issue if you plan on eating out every night) and no clothes horse which made it a bit difficult to dry swimming costumes and towels after the hot tub when the weather was bad! As stated these are minor things we loved our stay and the lodge and have already recommended it to friends and family and are planning a return visit.
