25 Thirlmere

Resting upon White Cross Bay Holiday Park in Troutbeck Bridge, Cumbria, is 25 Thirlmere, a fabulous single-storey lodge. With access to a range of on-site facilities, including an indoor swimming pool, a restaurant, and a children's playground, whilst closely situated near Lake Windermere and within the Lake District National Park, the lodge welcomes six guests and two furry companions, making it the ideal base for a family getaway.

Park up on the drive and climb up the steps to access the open-plan living space, boasting state-of-the-art appliances, plush seating, a contemporary dining table, and a sleek electric fire for those cooler days; prepare meals, dine, relax and socialise in this space. If you'd prefer an alfresco affair, take advantage of the wrap-around veranda found at 25 Thirlmere, offering woodland views and a tranquil setting and there is also a private hot tub for guests to enjoy all year round.

After this, you may wish to venture out onto the park for some entertainment. Return to complete your nightly routine in the shower room, before selecting between three stylish bedrooms, including a king-size with en-suite, and two twins.

If you can tear yourself away, the charming village of Troutbeck Bridge offers a well-stocked convenience store, and the welcoming Sun Inn, ideal for refuelling at after your adventures. Continue onto Windermere, where you can try your hand at a plethora of watersports on the famous Lake Windermere, soak up the views from Queen Adelaide’s Hill, tour the popular World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, and sample fresh seafood at Hooked.
