About this property

Scafell is a beautiful, Scandinavian-style lodge settled on White Cross Bay outside the village of Troutbeck Bridge. Surrounded by tall trees, Cumbrian countryside and near a lake, this three-bedroom home is perfect for families and friends. On arrival, be greeted by off-road parking before climbing a handful of steps on to the decking and admire your secluded spot. Enter the open-plan living space, with wooden walls, an electric fire and two plush sofas positioned in front of the Smart TV for some downtime. The contemporary kitchen has everything you need to ease your stay and when dinner is served, gather at the dining table to tuck-in. On balmy evenings, venture outside to the decked area, which features ample seating areas and barbecues for alternative cooking. As the evening winds to an end, retire indoors and locate the bathroom, featuring a jacuzzi bath to relax your muscles and an overhead shower. When sleep calls, there are three well-furnished bedrooms, a king-size with an en-suite, a zip/link twin and a child's bunk bedroom. Make the most of the on-site facilities, where you can enjoy a splash in the swimming pool, enjoy a scenic picnic beside the lake and visit the village of Troutbeck Bridge for all your amenities. Venture into the town of Windermere, home to rolling hills and the largest natural lake in England. The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction is a must-see for fans of the beloved children's author, while Brockhole on Windermere is perfect for families, with its tree-top treks, nature walks, and playgrounds. Explore the small town of Ambleside; here you can sample traditional eateries and pubs and wander along the bustling roads to search for quaint stores. For a blissful escape to the Lake District, choose Scafell.

Troutbeck Bridge is between Windermere and Ambleside in the Lake District National Park, near Kirkstone Pass. This peaceful Lakeland community has a great tavern serving good ales and fine meals. Windermere and Ambleside have shops, taverns, and cafes. Lake Windermere offers lakefront attractions such as the Aquarium and Grizedale Forest Park. Children will love the World of Beatrix Potter in adjacent Bowness, where technology brings her characters to life. Troutbeck Bridge is convenient to Coniston Water, Kendal, Keswick, and the Lakeland Mountains.

    However, it was the worst holiday stay we have been in, the weather was cold and rainy. The heaters as well as the boiler didn’t work at all. We felt freezing and couldn’t enjoy the stay. In addition, the dishwasher was dirty and full of water, the smell was bad.

    Everyone loved Skiptory Howe 7 - a lovely Scandinavian feel, gorgeous decking amongst the trees, spotlessly clean and well kitted out. The owner Julie responded immediately to a slight problem we had with the boiler, followed it up the next day and really couldn't have been more helpful. Would thoroughly recommend this lodge - we will definitely be going back.

    Within the site it is also a perfect location, on the edge and set back, so quite private yet close enough to the main area where the kids park/bar/pool etc are. The cleanliness was of a high standard and all linings were fresh, walking into the lodge the heating had warmed it through and it had a wonderful homely feel. The kitchen mirrors the same cleanliness and was equipped with everything we needed for cooking. The beds were very comfortable. We did have to have a good look around for the cot bed and found it, along with the high chair in the airing cupboard of the main bathroom. The decking area was fab, having an 18 month old who wants to be everywhere gave us peace of mind that the gates lock and the whole decking was secure! Highly recommend this lodge to anyone. Big thank you to the owners for sharing their wonderful place, resulting in us having a wonderful Easter weekend!!
