Description

Located in an area of outstanding natural beauty on the shores of Lake Windermere in the world-famous Lake District, the accessible and highly affordable DEBRA UK holiday home at the five-star rated White Cross Bay Holiday Park & Marina offers a peaceful setting to enjoy stunning lakeside views and the natural surroundings. It’s also a great base from which to explore the local area.

The holiday home, which has been adapted, as much as possible, to meet the diverse needs of the EB community, is ideally located within the park; just a two-minute walk from the main complex and its numerous attractions, with good wheelchair access to most areas of the park.

Please note: The Newquay holiday home is a 10–15-minute walk from the main holiday park complex via steep hills. Most of the complex is wheelchair accessible and there is a hoist to allow wheelchair users access to the swimming pool. Dogs are not allowed in this holiday home. This is to protect members who have pet allergies. Dogs are however permitted in our Weymouth Red and Brynteg holiday homes.

If you have a specially trained assistance dog, please contact the holiday home team to discuss.
