Langway

EmmaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Lovingly restored property with oodles of internal space for 6 (2 adults, 2 teens and 2 children). The high ceilings, exposed beams and the veluxe windows with views of the sky were particular highlights. Langway has all the amenities inside you could need and more. Lovely to have an air bnb place that has the key bits in the kitchen that make life a bit easier when you're only a way a short period and haven't bought absolutely everything with you - cling/foil/condiments/ squash. The welcome basket and bottle of wine was a lovely touch. Beds and bedding were really comfy. Sofas not super comfy, but we didn't spend long say on them as we were mainly out exploring. Not far to Kendal and to Windemere by car. Langway has limited outside space, but we knew that on booking and the little courtyard with table and chairs was enough for us. It does face on to the lane, but the lane is exceedingly quiet with only a handful of cars ever passing. Overall, would definitely recommend!

Green View, close to coniston lake. Pet friendly

LaurenRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This is a lovely place to stay in a quiet, peaceful location. Great view from the windows with lots of greenery. Coniston is nearby and a lovely spot for exploring. Comfy beds, clean bathroom and good shower- all the essentials! Hosts were also accommodating when we had a last minute change of plans due to flight times.

Corner Cottage, Great Broughton, Cumbria

SusanRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The cottage is a wonderful place to stay when exploring the Western Lake District and coastline. It’s tucked away in a quiet corner and has a lovely enclosed garden perfect for your furry companion . The cottage itself is surprisingly spacious, comfortable and decorated cosily. Sue was the perfect host and checked in to make sure our elderly parents had the best stay. We shall return again soon !!

Beauview, stunning holiday home (Wi-Fi & Smart TV)

SusanRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We really enjoyed our short stay. Caravan was pristine and very comfortable. Everything was there that you might need. The holiday park is set in a beautiful location, which is very quiet and feels welcoming. We’d certainly like to revisit at some point in the future.

Honeybee Retreat. Escape from it all.

ChrisRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This is a great place. We could’ve done with longer - struck gold with the weather so didn’t use the leisure facilities as much as we might have. Really well placed for visiting Keswick and Penrith. Whinlatter Forest took us about 30 mins to get to - great for walks, bikes, cafe.

Your guide to White Cross Bay

Welcome to White Cross Bay

Situated on the northeastern shore of Windermere, England’s largest natural lake, this charming bay has become a popular spot with families thanks to the lodges, caravans, and many amenities that line its edges. It’s surrounded by the kind of beauty typical of the Lake District, with views that look out over Windermere to the Langdale Fells, and acres of picturesque woods and parkland. At White Cross Bay, you always feel close to nature: the woodland is populated by rabbits and red deer, and you’re likely to paddle by a few fish in the cool clear waters of the lake.

There are plenty of opportunities for boating and watersports, lakeside walks, and fell climbing, while nearby facilities include a heated indoor pool, bar, and restaurant. The pretty village of Ambleside is three miles north, and the busier town of Bowness-on-Windermere three miles south. Each can be reached within a 10-minute drive.


The best time to stay in a holiday rental in White Cross Bay

Spring is a popular time to visit the shores of Lake Windermere, when the woodland is carpeted with bluebells and the villages are in full bloom. Visitor numbers rise from April to October, and between June and August White Cross Bay is busy with families on their summer holidays, making the most of the sunshine and the water. One of the United Kingdom’s biggest open-water swimming events, the Great North Swim, takes place over a weekend at nearby Brockhole, with distances to suit all levels and abilities. The autumn is also a beautiful time to be in the Lake District, with the surrounding countryside transformed by the changing colours, into a rich panoply of gold, russet, and red; just make sure you’ve brought plenty of layers and waterproof clothing so you can enjoy the outdoors whatever the weather.


Top things to do in White Cross Bay

Brockhole

The Lake District Visitor Centre, in the grounds of Brockhole House and Gardens, is only 10 minutes from White Cross Bay. It would be worth a visit just for the 19th-century Arts and Crafts villa and landscaped gardens, but it’s also a hub of family activities from boating to archery, treetop net walks, kart racing, and kayaking tours.

Orrest Head

The summit at Orrest Head, 239 metres above sea level, is modest compared to the Lake District’s big peaks, but it’s a great spot to view them from. A relatively short climb will reward you with panoramic views of Windermere and the fells that surround it, including the famous Old Man of Coniston, Scafell Pike, and Fairfield.

Holehird Gardens

The show gardens of the Lakeland Horticultural Society are a kaleidoscope of colour that constantly shifts with the seasons. From the native wild daffodils that cover the meadow in spring to the herbal perfume of the walled garden in summer, and the fiery display of autumn foliage, there’s something eye-catching whichever time of year you visit.
