About this property

Waterbird Lodge is a beautiful lodge located in a private sought-after lake front location at White Cross Bay. Named after a flying boat built at the location during the second world war, Waterbird Lodge has one of the largest outside decks on the park, perfect to take in the stunning views across the lake. This tastefully decorated lodge is furnished with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Waterbird Lodge sleeps up to seven guests in three bedrooms with a maximum of five adults at any one time and two children sleeping on the top bunk and trundle bed. The bright and airy open plan living/dining/kitchen area is perfect for socialising after a day exploring the Lake District. Waterbird Lodge is right on the waterside where you can head down to the jetties, breathe in the fresh air, and enjoy the views and watch the boats on the marina. On the Park itself, there is a bar and restaurant with outdoor seating area for dogs, picnic area and children’ play zone. 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 a great way to spend a day with gardens, house, café, restaurant, walks, boats, adventure playground and Tree Top Trek: there’s lots to do! You’re also just two miles from bustling Windermere village with shops, cafes and pubs, and three miles from Bowness boat landings, where the elegant cruisers come in and you can hop on a boat trip. Three miles in the other direction, head to Ambleside, another bustling town with shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants and of course, fabulous walks in every direction. Make wonderful memories here at White Cross Bay with your loved ones.

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 took my parents for a weekend away , it was spotless, everything you need including towels, kitchen cloths etc.. it was breath taking , would highly recommend this lodge.

    Must have the best location on the site. Huge decking area which actually backs onto the lake. Doubt you’d find a better view. Also it’s right next to the boat launch ramp so perfect if you’re paddle boarding or kayaking. On arrival we found the lodge immaculately clean, the place is lovely and light inside and there’s so much space. Two large double bedrooms, one has a lovely en-suite, plus a 3rd room with a bunk bed and a pull out extra bed which was perfect for us as we were two families sharing. Even with our excited kids zooming round there was loads of room. The kitchen had all the utensils and crockery you need, and a decent cooker and hob if you’re planing on eating in. Good sized dining table too. The location of white cross bay is perfectly slap bang in the middle between Ambleside and Bowness. Regular busses pick you up from right outside the park and it’s about 10 mins to either location where there’s an abundance of pubs, restaurants and shops etc. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back!

    Lodge has a view to die for but sadly that’s it , needs updating in places and on arrival smells when opening door , nothing in lodge , washing up liquid, dishwashing tablets, salt, pepper absolutely nothing , no televisions in bedrooms , only kids room (bunk beds ) no lights on decking at night, , could be a lovely lodge just needs some love and home comforts saying that it is a rental lodge and I don’t think the owners use it , wouldn’t rent again as there is nicer lodges on white cross
