  • "Lovely place."

    Location great both for Winderemere and in the park it was a peaceful spot. An issue was Low water pressure in the mornings. The Wifi was hit and miss. To be expected as we were in the country not an issue. We did not use the resort facilities other than the onsite shop which was great to have. Lovely to be by the Marina. A lovely short break thank you

    Thanks for your kind review Kate. I'm sorry about the issues you faced with the water pressure, we are told these were to do with refilling of hot tubs and the pressures have now been adjusted accordingly. The park is aware of the WIFI in that part of the park and we're working together to find a more reliable solution. Glad you enjoyed the lodge and your break overall and hope to see you again.

  • "The Interior of the lodge was beautiful."

    It was spacious, light and beautifully decorated. There were plenty of kitchen utensils and plenty of additional bedding. The lodge was lovely and warm and the ‘log burner’ was a lovely touch. Plenty of board games have been made available for wet / rest days. I thought that due to the trees and position of the lodge it may have been a little dark inside, but it was lovely and light (think the light interior helped) and we saw lots of wildlife- foxes, woodpeckers and owls. Further improvements would be to the exterior of the cabin, including the patio area needing a little touching up / repainting / cleaning due to foliage and weather. If possible, a toilet roll could be made available for when you arrive! However, the overall stay was fantastic. A beautiful lodge (as reflected in the photographs) A fantastic find which I would highly recommend.

    Thanks very much for your very positive review. As new occupiers we are still working to ensure all details are managed including checks on toilet rolls and also a starter pack in the kitchen for arriving guests. We also have some planned improvements to the exterior when booking gaps allow. We really appreciate the positive review and hope to see you again in the future. Gary Property Owner

  • "The overall campus was really nice with good facilities and a great location between Ambleside and Windermere."

    The cabin itself was nice but unfortunately wasn't very clean. Dog hairs and stains were found everywhere and when we made people aware of this, we were passed from one department to another and told to contact the owner directly evern though we weren't provided with any contact details. Happy to take your money but not interested in helping once you have a problem. Fantastic location but just very disappointed with the service we received.

    Thank you for your feedback We are sorry that you didn't find the cleanliness of the lodge up to your standard. We have investigated this and it looks like you contacted us via a no-reply email address so the email that you sent didn't came through to us. If you contacted us through the phone numbers given in your key collection details, we would have sent somebody out to investigate and rectify the issues to the best of our ability.

  • "Nice and big so ideal for a large family."

    Loved that it had a bath as I prefer baths to showers. Brilliant if you have pets that you take as they can’t escape it’s secure. Could do with nicer bedding in the master bedroom but apart from that it’s a nice home away from home. The caravan park needs some attention as you have to pay for swimming the roads are terrible as our car hit loads of pot holes and the trees/bushes all need a good cut

    Hi Michelle, thanks for your positive review about the lodge. Regarding the park we do make clear that facilities such as swimming are a separate arrangement with the park, and guests who book through Lake District Lodge Holidays have complimentary access to Choices spa and pool nearby. Regarding the roads leading to the lodge we will pass on your feedback and ask guests to take care until repaired. Thanks again for taking the time to feed back to us. Gary Property Owner

  • "We had a very enjoyable stay at this lodge, even with 6 adults & 2 dogs we found the accommodation very comfortable & well maintained."

    The kitchen was well stocked with utensils & the heating was more than adequate as we stayed when the evenings were close to freezing! The location is excellent & we will certainly be coming back again!

    Thanks so much for your kind review Adam! It really means alot to know that we helped to contribute to an enjoyable break for your group. Hopefully we'll see you again soon. Property Owner

The property

Serenity is a traditional cabin style pine lodge in the Skiptory Howe area of White Cross Bay in a private position within the park with woodland all around plus 2 deck areas: one is secluded with a second to enjoy the sunshine.

Serenity offers a cosy retreat ideal for couples or families looking for a quiet location.

The lodge will sleep up to 6 guests plus an infant in a travel cot.

It’s perfect for a getaway or simply as a base to explore the lakes.

Two dogs are welcome, so the whole family can enjoy a break!

Serenity is located in a slightly hilly location within the Skiptory Howe area of the Park, and the area immediately around the lodge may not be suitable for children playing outside, but the outdoor play area is a short walk away.

On the Park itself, there is a bar and restaurant with an outdoor seating area for dogs, a picnic area and a children’s play zone.

Note: Some facilities in the park are subject to extra costs, such as the use of the pool, entertainment, bar, and restaurant.

You’re also just two miles from the charming 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.

Ambleside is three miles in the other direction, another beautiful town with shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants and of course, fabulous walks in every direction.

A wonderful place to make special memories with your loved ones.
