  • "A lovely lodge in a perfect spot for a quiet week overlooking the lake."

    The lodge is lovely and comfortable and is well equipped. A couple of minor points I would suggest the owners take care of. The kettle had a ‘failed’ electrical test sticker on it, which seemed to indicate it wasn’t up to the required standard, the dishwasher was full to the brim of dishes when we arrived and therefore we had to empty it upon arrival and the windows were quite grubby on the inside which impacted the view slightly. However none of this would have an impact on us returning, we had a lovely week and this lodge is by one of the nicest ones we have stayed in across the Lake District.

  • "The lodge was absolutely wonderful, a great spot with a view of the lake, nice and quiet."

    It had everything you could want except we couldn’t find a hairdryer, we looked everywhere. We especially loved the comfy king sized bed with luxury bed linen, the thick plush towels, the huge bath in one bathroom and a shower cubicle in the other. We loved the lounge with the electric fireplace, great comfy sofas. We didnt use the cooking facilities as ate out everyday at various restaurants so cannot comment on that. We didnt use the resorts facilities either. We would definitely return to this lodge and just hope that it remains so nicely kept and looked after by considerate holiday makers who stay here.

The property

Waters Edge Lodge is an attractive single-storey lodge resting on Whitecross Bay in Windermere, Cumbria, where amazing lake views, sipping a drink on the decking and off-road parking for two cars set the scene for a relaxed lakeside escape.

Step inside to an inviting open-plan living space, where large windows draw your gaze towards the sparkling water beyond.

The sitting area offers a welcoming spot to unwind, with an electric fire bringing a gentle glow on cooler evenings as you gather with your favourite people.

The well-equipped kitchen is designed for easy self-catering, with an oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge, freezer and dishwasher helping to keep mealtimes effortless, while a dining area sits close by for lingering over shared dishes and planning tomorrow’s adventures.

When night falls, a king-size bedroom provides a restful retreat, while the twin bedroom benefits from an en-suite walk-in shower, basin, heated towel rail and WC.

A separate bathroom with bath, shower over, heated towel rail, basin and WC adds extra convenience for families or two couples sharing.

Throw open the doors to the decking and breathe in the fresh Cumbrian air as you take in those amazing lake views.

Here, outdoor furniture invites you to sit back with a morning coffee or evening drink beneath the changing skies.

With a swimming pool, restaurant and shop on-site, days can flow easily between simple lakeside pleasures and handy facilities close at hand.

Beyond Whitecross Bay, the wider Lake District unfolds with countless possibilities.
