Guests say
Guests have had a delightful experience at Oakwood Lodge, praising its home comforts, immaculate condition, and private setting. The hot tub is a hit, and the lodge's location is ideal for exploring the Lake District. While some minor maintenance issues were noted, the overall sentiment is one of satisfaction and eagerness to return.
Cleanliness
Most guests found the lodge to be clean and well-maintained, though there were a few reports of dust and outdoor areas needing attention. The majority of reviews, however, reflect a high standard of cleanliness inside the lodge.
Location
The lodge's location is highly praised for its quiet setting and proximity to Lake Windermere and local attractions. Guests appreciate the easy access to walks, cruises, and the park's own amenities.

About this property
Oakwood is a spacious and well-equipped holiday lodge located in the Langdale area of White Cross Bay, with a quiet end of cul-de-sac position. Oakwood offers spacious, open-plan living, beautiful wooden flooring throughout, and sumptuous leather sofas for ultimate relaxation in front of the large screen digital tv. Couple this with rustic oak dining table and chairs and fully equipped kitchen and you have a luxurious base for your holiday. Two bedrooms, one master king with ensuite shower room, and a second with full-size twin beds and a family bathroom. Outside the large deck has table and chairs and lounging furniture, along with a private hot tub – a real treat after a day exploring the beautiful national park. White Cross Bay sits on the shores of Lake Windermere, with views all around to the spectacular fells. 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 road 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 from Oakwood Lodge, 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. A wonderful place to make special memories 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.
