We enable children to spend quality time with their family in a picturesque rural setting

Nestled on the peaceful shores of Lake Windermere, Parkdean Resorts’ White Cross Bay offers a tranquil escape in the heart of the Lake District. Surrounded by scenic woodland and panoramic lake views, this park is perfect for families seeking a gentler pace. On-site amenities include a heated indoor pool, family-friendly restaurant, adventure playground, and access to serene lakeside walks. The calm, natural setting encourages quiet exploration, relaxation, and the chance to unwind together as a family. It is an ideal environment for children who may find busy, high-energy resorts overwhelming.

At The Principle Trust Children’s Charity, we understand that not all children thrive in loud or fast-paced environments. That’s why our two specially adapted charity lodges at White Cross Bay have been thoughtfully designed to accommodate children with terminal illnesses, disabilities, or who are neurodiverse. These fully accessible lodges feature wheelchair ramps, wider doorways, a wetroom, profiling bed, and electric hoists—ensuring comfort, safety, and dignity during their stay. For families facing immense challenges, this calm and caring setting offers not only a well-deserved break but also precious time to reconnect, heal, and create meaningful memories in a place that truly feels like a home from home.
