Black Dog Lodge in Thirlmere 3, White Cross Bay near Windermere

About Black Dog Lodge

Black Dog Lodge is a spacious, modern lodge just 200 yards from Lake Windermere in the Lake District. This two-bedroom retreat offers private gated decking with a hot tub where you can soak away your hiking aches while sipping something bubbly. No need to worry about the British weather - you'll be toasty with full gas central heating throughout.

The Lake District location is perfect for anyone who loves the outdoors. Bowness and Ambleside are minutes away, with Grizedale Forest Park offering spectacular walking routes. Two parking spaces right outside mean you can easily explore further afield. Got a dog? Bring them along! Just keep them on a lead around the site - this is a proper doggy holiday spot.

Inside you'll find two bedrooms (one twin, one double) with two bathrooms - no more morning queue for the shower! The kitchen has everything: gas hob, electric oven, air fryer, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and microwave. Smart TV included for those evenings when you're too knackered from walking to do anything but collapse on the sofa.

Visit the World of Beatrix Potter (1 mile), tackle Kirkstone Pass (5 miles), or explore Troutbeck (3 miles). The site requires a complex pass for pool access, entertainment, bar and restaurant facilities - worth every penny for a complete holiday experience.

Black Dog Lodge delivers comfort without fuss. Families love the welcome pack and spotless interiors. Hot tub available 10am-10pm - perfect for a cheeky midnight glass of wine under the stars!
