About this property

Squirrels Nook is a well-presented, single-storey lodge nestled on the White Cross Bay Holiday Park near Troutbeck Bridge in Cumbria. Perfect for a family or friends, the lodge’s open-plan interior is designed to make you feel right at home, with a decking area outside with furniture, providing the ideal spot to soak up the views of the surrounding area. Once you’ve parked your car in the off-road parking area, you can take a moment to appreciate the fresh country air before getting to know your new home-from-home. This single-storey lodge offers a bright and airy open-plan living space, complete with a kitchen, dining area, and sitting area with electric fire to keep you toasty in the cooler months. After a day of sightseeing, enjoy a restful night in one of the two bedrooms - a double with TV and en-suite walk-in shower room, and a twin room. A family bathroom with bath and shower over completes the interior, where you can prepare for the day ahead. Step outside to the wraparound decking area with furniture and take in the views of the surrounding area, perfect for a spot of alfresco dining or a glass of wine as you watch the sun go down. There are excellent on-site leisure facilities, such as the indoor heated swimming pool, sauna, gym and games area for the younger members of your party. Plus the shore of Lake Windermere is less than five minutes walk away, from where you can admire this stunning landscape. Locally, you can participate in watersports or, if you prefer, a cruise on Lake Windermere. Bowness-on-Windermere has superb bars and restaurants to enjoy, whilst the quieter village of Ambleside is a short drive away and is really the perfect way to spend an afternoon mooching around the local shops. In every direction you are surrounded by beautiful countryside, which makes this area so popular at any time of the year. With so much to do, a stay at Squirrels Nook is an ideal base to explore the wonders of the Lake District.

White Cross Bay holiday park nestles on the shores of Lake Windermere, midway between Windermere and Ambleside, in the Lake District National Park. Consisting of many lodges, it offers a restaurant, pub, shop, entertainment room, amusement arcade, indoor swimming pool with Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room, gym, children's staffed activity centre, marina and outdoor play areas. Lake Windermere, the largest and most popular in the area, boasts a wide range of lakeside activities from walking and cycling to rowing, horse riding, taking a trip on the steam railway, plus lake cruises from Bowness to the pretty village of Ambleside and down to Lakeside, which has a celebrated aquarium. Children will also enjoy The World of Beatrix Potter in Bowness-on-Windermere, where technology brings her characters to life, and Brockhole Lake District Visitor Centre, with its Treetop Trek aerial adventure is a short walk away from the site. With destinations including Coniston Water, Kendal, Keswick and the Lakeland Mountains all within easy reach, this location is perfect for a Lake District holiday at any time of the year.

    It had every thing we needed, really comfortable sofa, well equipment kitchen, full size fridge freezer which is great as our dogs are fed frozen food. The dogs loved watching the world go by from the decking and we enjoyed the peace and quiet. We had some lovely walks around the park and surrounding area, the view of the lake is amazing and just a short walk from lodge. We saw deer in the field near the picnic area and rabbits, we did have rain so I’m so glad we took the mud buddy to wash the dogs down as the park was muddy in places. If you walk dogs before bed take a torch as park can be dark in areas. Thank you Lisa and Joel for being great owners! We didn’t want to leave

    ( just needs an oven glove and tea towel in kitchen)

  • Stuart

    Loved the welcome pack, good idea for carpet runner and shoe rack as you come in the door, save your carpet. Had power cut on the Saturday for four hours, this was a fault in the area and up to Ambleside, nothing owners could have done about this, we would definitely stay again.
