About Tranquil Waters

Windermere 2.4 miles. Tranquil Waters is a charming lodge with serene lake views, situated on White Cross Bay Holiday Park. This property rests within the Lake District National Park, near to the village of Troutbeck Bridge in Cumbria. With off-road parking for two cars, this delightful retreat is perfect for families or friends seeking a lakeland escape amidst nature's splendour. Upon entering this single-storey abode, be delighted by the generous wraparound veranda, where you can enjoy your morning coffee or dine alfresco on warmer days; the perfect spot to relax and soak up the picture-postcard views of the lake. Enter into the open-plan living area, a real social hub of the property, where you can unwind on the plush seating in front of the Smart TV and electric fire, creating a warm atmosphere for those chillier evenings. The designated chef of the group will be delighted with the well-equipped kitchen, offering everything needed to prepare delicious meals that can be enjoyed at the dining table. When the day draws to a close, retire to one of the three inviting bedrooms. The master bedroom boasts a king-size bed, ample storage for your personal belongings, a TV for those lazy mornings in bed, and the added benefit of an en-suite walk-in shower room, so you can get ready for the day in style. The second bedroom is a single, perfect for children and the third is a twin, ideal for friends sharing. A sleek bathroom provides a space to freshen up after a day of exploration. Just a short walk away from the lodge, you will find in the park the boat house which includes bar restaurant, with themed food nights, evening entertainment both for children and adults. There is a children’s adventure playground, and a child’s arts and crafts room. There is also a large swimming pool on the site with spa hot tub, sauna and steam room…for a family or a couple there is so much to do on the site. When you can pull yourself away from your tranquil lodge, you'll discover there's an abundance of attractions nearby. Hire a boat from the lake opposite and drift along the serene waters, soaking in the surreal surroundings, or park your boat and enjoy a peaceful moment immersed in nature's beauty. Step back in time at the National Trust's Wray Castle and Townend, both showcasing intriguing histories. Revel in the outdoor adventure at Brockhole on Windermere, where you can explore the beautiful grounds, the large adventure playground or and get your pulse racing with the thrill of zip-lining at Zip World Windermere. For breathtaking panoramic views and the ultimate photo opportunity, venture to Orrest Head Viewpoint. Admire the beautifully landscaped Holehird Gardens, delve into history at the ancient Ambleside Roman Fort, Galava or simply spend your days basking in the rolling magnificence of the Lake District. Tranquil Waters is your idyllic base, where possibilities for adventure and relaxation are endless.

Tranquil Waters Reviews

I don't normally leave reviews, but this was such a fantastic experience that it needed highlighting. The Lodge is beautifully presented and in an excellent location, communication with Sykes Cottages has been great and no issues. The whole weekend had been brilliant.

Jeremy

A wonderful family stay that more than lived up to its name. Tranquil Waters is brilliantly located for exploring Windermere and the wider Lake District, with everything you need close at hand while still feeling peaceful and removed from the crowds. The property itself is cosy and immediately welcoming the kind of place where you settle in within minutes. It's wellequipped throughout and the standard of accommodation is high. Nothing felt tired or overlooked. The showers were excellent, and on the warm sunny days we enjoyed, the doors opening directly onto the decking were a real highlight a lovely touch that made the most of the setting. A couple of minor points worth noting for the owners the double socket in the single bedroom appeared faulty it produced an odd smell when in use, so we stopped using it and would recommend it's checked and replaced as a precaution. The TV remote was also a little sluggish, possibly just in need of new batteries. One small note on the layout the en suite is on the narrow side, though the showers themselves were great. None of these detracted significantly from what was a brilliant stay. We'd return without hesitation and would recommend Tranquil Waters to anyone looking for a quality family base in the Lake District.

Amazing lodge in a perfect location. Has everything you need and more. We will definitely return!

A lovely lodge in a great spot lake view in front and a lovely stream running down the side. Property was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend.

Tranquil Waters is a clean , comfortable lodge such a beautiful property to relax in and watch the wildlife around you. What a beautiful view of the lake we had too, loved every minute . We will be back hopefully soon.

Angela

The property is even better than portrayed in the pictures . Extremely comfortable and a great outdoor space too . Would definitely return !

Great lodge in a wonderful position. Ideal for our 5 year old granddaughter to mess about in the stream and the lake. Ideally placed between Bowness and Ambleside. We had great weather so overall a lovely 5 days.

Neesha

Not enough basic kitchen gadgets and cutlery. The access door is really tight to open. The bedroom with twin beds is very tight

Fantastic accommodation in a stunning setting. Great location with easy access to surrounding amenities and places of interest. Would reccomend without any hesitation.

We absolutely loved our stay at Tranquil waters and hope to be back in the future. It was a real home from home. Location by the lake was wonderful and we captured some beautiful sunsets. It was a perfect base for us when we were attending a wedding locally. We didn't use the onsite facilities but they looked good. We were surprised at how large the kitchen was which was such a bonus as we love cooking. We even cooked a roast dinner! There was nothing to note that was negative but we do want to bring up a few things for the owner to consider adding to the kitchen utensils. One shelf in the oven was not enough when wanting to use it for cooking multiple items for example we struggled to cook more than one pizza at a time. A pair of scissors would have been helpful along with a cullender to drain pasta or potatoes. My mother was desperate to have a bath but the water was Luke warm and we couldn't get it very hot at all. Luckily the showers were a good temperature. Hooks on the back of doors to hang dressing gownscoats would also have been useful. All in all we had lovely stay and would recommend this property to others.

Shelley

This place exceeded our expectations. The lodge is in a great location with incredible views of the lake and scenery that can be viewed from a large decking area. The actual lodge itself was spotless, the sofa was so comfy and the kitchen was well equipped. It is also decorated to a high standard with lovely soft furnishings. We would love to come back!

Stephen

Great position and a huge decking. The lodge was very clean, the only down side was the settee, which does need replacing rather than a seat support placing under the cushions. The decking needed a good clean, but there are brushes in the lodge, and a bit of exercise lather it was all cleaned. Due to the Oak tree above the decking, so cant be avoided. Recommend mentioning the coffee machine is Tassimo so people can bring the pods. Also some decking lighting might be useful.. There is one outside light. Overall for the price, was a great weekend at the Lodge, thanks.
