About Footprints Lodge

This welcoming lodge is located within walking distance of Windermere, set in a beautiful woodland and close to a holiday park that has all the amenities you could want for a perfect holiday. Footprints Lodge has a lovely wrap-around decked terrace, its own private hot tub and attractive high-ceilinged rooms.

With an on-site children's playground and plenty of amenities available at the holiday park, it makes the ideal family holiday location. The comfortable open plan living room and dining room is light and airy, with lovely wood ceilings and a relaxing feel.

The dining area leads through to the fully-equipped kitchen. You can bring the outdoors in by opening the French doors onto the decked terrace, or relax on the comfortable sofas in front of the TV.

The cosy master double bedroom has an en-suite shower room, and two twin bedrooms ensure there's plenty of room for your family. A family bathroom, with a shower over the bath, completes the upstairs.

The lodge is set in beautiful woodlands next to a peaceful brook, and the wraparound terrace has garden furniture and a patio for outside dining, with its own hot tub. Set in White Cross Bay, hidden away on the shores of Windermere, there's plenty to do.

With a holiday park on the doorstep, you can enjoy the park's restaurant and takeaway or relax in the beer garden while the kids have fun in the outdoor play area. Unwind in the heated indoor pool or the sauna (charges might apply) or, if you feel like some exercise, there's areas for tennis, football and basketball, you also have use of the marina and private boat launch (charges might apply).

Footprints Lodge Reviews

Claire

We enjoyed a lovely stay at Footprints Lodge. It was everything we wanted and needed warm and comfortable. The hot tub was an extra treat which was very much enjoyed after a day of hill walking! The lodge was clean and spacious. I would not hesitate to book this lodge again.

This was our third time at White Cross Bay and we stayed for a week at the end of August unfortunately a very rainy week. Great British weather! The lodge itself however was lovely and had everything we needed. It was smaller than previous lodges weve stayed in but this didnt matter as it had a really cosy feel to it. Hot tub also a great perk. Our only criticism would be the outside area, it is completely shaded and the decking was extremely slippy the kids slipped multiple times. In the event there was sun, it wouldn't have been on the outside area which unfortunately would prevent us from returning in the summer months. A great stay on this occasion though.

This is a lovely cosy and well equipped lodge, well maintained and lovely decor, in a perfect location. There is plenty of space and it is lovely and clean. The host was very helpful and rang me straight back with a query I had. The decking would have benefited from a quick sweep and being jetwashed, but it wasn't an issue, just an observation.

Michael

The facilities over all was good, however when we arrived there was a very floaty smell to the living room and bedrooms. I went and purchased air freshener and a scented candle. Ive also never stayed at a lodge before where we have never had towels provided, especially when paying so much for a stay. The lodge also had a BBQ, which had a set of rules about using it, keeping it clean and tidy. We did plan on using the bbq, but after removing the bird fecies cover, the actual grill itself was disgusting and way beyond needing a while down. The lodge has great potential but dose require some general Maintanance.

We stayed for 5 days and we loved it. The lodge was beautiful, so clean, comfortable and modern. The hot tub was amazing and if it hadn't rained every day we would have loved to have used the outside area more. This gives us the perfect excuse to visit again in the summer.

Sahdya

It was an absolutely amazing experience. I really loved my stay everything about the cottage was amazing. I really came back relaxed. The hot tub was an absolutely must!!!

Angela

Absolutely fabulous place. There was 6 of us in our party, there was plenty of space. When we had a problem with the boiler the owner sent a plumber to fix the same day. The hot tub was amazing after a day's walking. Would highly recommend.

The property was even better than expected everything was clean and comfortable and the lodge itself had an instantly relaxing welcoming feel to it. Hot tub was a great addition although unfortunately as it was thunderstorms and rain most of our stay we didnt get to use it as much as we would have liked. Would 100 recommend and hope to return in better weather.

Helena

Great lodge, very comfortable and had everything that we needed for our stay. We loved the setting and used the park marina for paddle boarding.

Sharon

Had a great time at footprint Lodge we all loved it, very central to everything . There was a couple of light bulbs gone on the main lights other than that couldn't find any fault .We would love to come back next year hot tub was great especially when being out all day it was great to come back and relax in it.

Yes very good loved it

Charlotte

Absolutely beautiful lodge, we had a great stay, beds are amazingly comfortable ... Absolutely beautiful lodge, we had a great stay, beds are amazingly comfortable and lodge was clean, hot tub was lovely, the only thing I would suggest Is having a clothes airer in the lodge, as the lake district can get very wet and there's not many places to dry your clothes particularly if there is 6 people staying there

Natasha

I requested a cot and high chair which where not at the lodge

Lovely little lodge , beds were really comfy , everything we needed however the hot tub wasent working properly which was a bit disappointing. Would still return and recommend.

Nicholas

First off we had a very enjoyable stay. The lodge was lovely. Beds were very comfy and the lodge had everything we needed apart from towels. The add said we needed to bring tea towels and beach towels, which we did. However, when we got there, there was a pile of towels on the kitchen table which the cleaner removed so there were no bath towels either. The wifi was patchy at best. No doubt due to the area booster required?. Lastly it could have been cleaner. In a post covid age, the lodge appeared clean but didnt stand up to closer inspection. Very dusty in places. The entire change over clean was done by one lady I. Less than 2 hours. It didnt spoil our stay and overall we had a great time.

It was pretty poor for the price. The shower on the on suite kept blocking and overflowing. The decking could have done with a good clean . The kitchen sink tapes were really strange the Internet was terrible and we had to go out to get better reception overall very disappointed sorry

Footprints Lodge was well equipped to a high standard in a quite location but within easy reach of all the parks facilities. The interior it's self again was excellent not at all worn or dated. The outside had a barbeque, plenty of seating and a hot tub that was heated through out the day. The only improvement would be if the overhanging branches were cut back to allow more sun light through. On a completely separate note we ate once at the parks club house, the food was awful, dry and over cooked with music uncomfortably load. Less than a mile down the road from the site along a foot path is The Sun Inn serving excellent pub grub with a lovely welcoming atmosphere.

Nicholas

We have had a great week at Footprints lodge. Everything you need and furnished to a very high standard. Didn't feel that the Lodge was as clean on arrival as it could be but maybe our standards are just very high . Also I wouldn't say the campsite is 5 but the lodge certainly is . It would be nice to have a full infantry on your booking as we took irons hairdryers etc but it was all there. The hot Tub was a great addition although we were unaware that a man came everyday to check it so we rang the number in the book . Perhaps putting that in the book would be useful. Also the decking was very dirty and could do with a good power wash. Towels would also be useful even if you had the option to pay for a package. Nearest large supermarket is Kendal about 8 Miles away Tesco Morrisons and Sainsbury so an online shop would benefit . We were disappointed that although back to normal after Covid, the swimming pool wasn't open later but not a real major issue . Overall we had a superb time and even climbed Scarfell Pike. We would certainly go back . We will certainly recommend this lodge to anyone and very central for most things.

To many flies round the hot tub couldnt enjoy the hot tub at all was bombarded by them

Ideal location to get to places in the Lake District either by car,walk or there is a bus route directly outside the complex. The lodge was ideal for our needs for a relaxing break .

Samuel

We had a brilliant stay at Footprints Lodge. Ideal for a family or friends getaway. The location is great and you have privacy in the hot tub and on the deck. Everything in the property was asexpected or better. No problems with the heating or other facilities. Would recommend to anyone.

Andrea

Great lodge in a lovely location, even had a chilled bottle of wine in the fridge for our arrival, nice little touch! Did have a little issue with the heating on day 3 but the owner arranged an heating engineer to come out and it got sorted.

We really enjoyed everything about our holiday, the lodge we hired was excellent and had everything we needed and will definately be looking to come back. Great location too

Lesley

Beautiful lodge with hot tub. Lots of added extras included. The site is good and has a nice restaurant. The location is brilliant. Brockhole is a short walk where you can enjoy the vast gardens and lakeside walks. Lots to do.

We thoroughly enjoyed everything about the lodge. There was nothing we didn't want for....down to the dishwasher tablets to tea towels.....it was just superb!!! We'd love to come back one day

The holiday accommodation was exceptionally good and located near to the places that we wanted to visit. There were a couple of observations that could be made about White Cross Bay Parkdean facilities 1. The bar shut at 2100hrs 2. The gym & swimming pool were chargeable at 15.00 extra and shut at 1600hrs, so not worth participating with. Still a great holiday though

Amanda

We had a really wonderful time and will be booking something similar on a regular basic from now on.

Rodrigo

The lodge was very nice and well equipped. The furniture was comfortable and convenient. The hot tub was very nice. Overall, you can tell that theres a genuine interest of the owner in providing a good experience to guests. On the negative side, 2 things The Internet connection was very bad, which is disappointing. The temperature of the lodge was a bit low, and because they use a centralized system to save money, we could not have a comfortable temperature in the bedrooms.

For great days out in this region then this attraction is highly recommended and will appeal to couples as well as families. Corporate groups are also well catered for.

Located in the Milnthorpe area of Cumbria we love this local attraction. With an eclectic mix of fascinating wildlife and hands on displays this centre is educational as well as fun. You can wander around at leisure admiring the exhibits which range from chameleons to computers. Some of the most threatened species are kept at the park as part if international breeding programmes. Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs which are great value for money. There are discounts for pre-booked parties of 12 or more.

This is an amazing Cumbria attraction well known locally as well as nationally for how close you can get to the animals. Described as the most interactive animal park in Europe it's well worth a visit if you are staying in the area. Open from April to end October some of the highlights are the tigers, penguins, bears, hippos and rhinos. At 2pm during certain seasons it's feeding time so don't forget to plan your day around this so you can watch the animals enjoying their feed. Look out for seasonal events such as Halloween Zoo Boo (free entry for kids in fancy dress) and The Magic of Christmas.

Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD

We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look". Some of the amazing animals you will get to see include the only Canadian Lynx in the UK and you will have the opportunity to help their Lynx Conservation Project. The Asian Fishing Cat is also well worth a look - these cats are known for diving under the water and catching fish! Other activities include fantastic flying displays and play areas for the little ones...
