About this property

Windermere 2.2 miles. Acorn Lodge is a spacious lodge situated in White Cross Bay Holiday Park, near Windermere. Set over a single-storey and sleeping up to four guests, Acorn Lodge is just a stone's throw away from the lake and marina, and is a stylish setting for your next Lake District getaway, within easy reach of Ambleside. You enter the property into the open-plan living space where an electric fire adds warmth to the room as you watch TV, prepare your picnic or gather your loved ones round the dining table for a home-style meal, or take your meal outdoors to enjoy a spot of al fresco dining on the decking which surrounds the property. Continuing through the property, there are two bedrooms, one double bed with an en-suite shower, to prepare for your day in style and one twin room with a TV for when the evening draws to a close, accompanying these two delightful rooms is a bathroom, for if you need a long soak after a busy day. White Cross Bay is in a fabulous location, on the shores of Lake Windermere, with views across the water, and Acorn Lodge is a short stroll from the waterside where you can head down to the jetties, breathe in the fresh air, enjoy the views and watch the boats on the marina, and on the park is also a bar, picnic area, children's playground and a restaurant with outdoor seating area for dogs.

    We turned it on and in less than a minute the place filled with smoke and set the alarm off. Not faulty, just needs a deep clean. We decided to eat at the Welcome lodge. Had two meals there cos we decided not to judge just on one. Both inedible. The burger was so hard, I couldn't get a fork into it. It was like a rock. Chips had a weird taste. Just awful. As I said, the lodge itself was great.
