About this property
Somerford Lodge is a delightful contemporary, two-bedroom lodge, set in a wooded cul-de-sac at White Cross Bay Holiday Park.
Somerford Lodge has a spacious open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, with two leather sofas, an armchair, a coffee table, and an electric fire, along with a Smart TV and Smart speaker. The dining area has a round glass table and four chairs to savour hearty meals.
The lodge also has double bi-fold doors giving a light and bright interior – perfect for those glorious warm evenings! Outside, you’ll find furniture for alfresco dining, as well as a sunken hot tub, to simply relax and unwind from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
White Cross Bay is in a fabulous location, on the shores of Lake Windermere. With views across the water and to the surrounding fells, you are literally in the heart of the Lake District and your lodge is just a few yards from the waterside.
A short stroll will bring you to Brockhole Lake District Visitor Centre, with its gardens, house, café, restaurant, walks, boats, adventure playground, and Zip World, there's lots to do!
You’re also just two miles from Windermere village with shops, cafés, 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 and attraction and The Jetty Museum.
Three miles in the other direction, head to Ambleside, another bustling town with shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants and of course, walks in every direction.
Two miles North of Somerford Lodge 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.
Somerford Lodge is a great place to make many happy memories together.
A historic market town with a fine reputation for shopping, Kendal nestles on the banks of the River Kent and is known as the Southern Gateway to the Lakes. Its old cobbled lanes and byways branch off the attractive main street, and the stone ruins of 12th century Kendal Castle sit perched on a hill with views over the town. Visit The Abbot Hall Art Gallery, its regular collection holding portraits by Kendal born George Romney and works by Turner and Ruskin, with other exhibitions through its links with the Tate. Both Sizergh Castle and Levens Hall with its superb Topiary Garden are nearby, as are limestone escarpments for easy walking, offering thrilling views of the Lakeland Mountains, the Howgills and Morecambe Bay. Kendal itself is ideally placed for exploring South Lakeland, the Yorkshire Dales and beyond. With other attractions such as Kendal Museum and the Museum of Lakeland Life, the fascinating Quaker Tapestry, Lake Windermere and the wider National Park within easy reach, Kendal provides a superb base for a relaxing break.
