Cabin-style lodgings make for a unique destination holiday in the beautiful Lake District National Park. Set amongst vibrant greenery and towering trees, this rural cottage offers a real country escape for four guests and a dog, ideal for any group eager to get away from it all. With a bunk bedroom providing the best space for children to sleep and an on-site swimming pool for entertainment, this property is extremely family-friendly. There’s also a jacuzzi and a sauna that adults will simply love. If you can tear yourself away from the property, there’s plenty to see and do locally in this Cumbrian adventure hot spot.

External stairs lead up to the property and onto a decked area with furniture, the whole thing invoking a treehouse feel that guests of all ages will adore. Once inside, the sociable hub of the house is the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Whether you’re preparing meals to eat indoors or prepping for dinner alfresco, you’ll find everything you may need in the comprehensive kitchen. Two sofas sit opposite one another with a view of the Smart TV for lazy evenings of lounging, and the double bedroom, the bunk bedroom and the bathroom are all just down the hallway.

Unearth walking and cycling routes from your doorstep, including along the River Brathay and past the picturesque Skelwith Force (1.5 miles). On the banks of Lake Windermere, Ambleside (3 miles) is your nearest town and a place to find all your much-needed amenities. Nearby you can spot the sights at the Ambleside Roman Fort (3 miles), Wray Castle (4.5 miles) or Rydal Cave (2.5 miles). Literary lovers will adore a trip to Grasmere (3 miles) to visit Wordsworth’s Dove Cottage and admire the scenery that inspired so many beautiful poems. It’s also worth dropping into the local bakery to try some famed gingerbread as well!

We really enjoyed our stay, the site is located in a fantastic area and we found the site to be nice and peaceful. The cabin was clean and comfortable, although it was snug and quite compact. The welcome basket of tea, coffee, biscuits and milk was really appreciated. We would definitely return in the future.

The location is perfect with easy access to everywhere within the national park. The cottage was clean and well maintained but we found the bed very uncomfortable and the lack of storage space for our two week stay a problem. Any potential holiday makers should be aware that access to the lodge would be very problematic for any elderly or disabled Read moreguests. We were very much looking forward to enjoying the pool area but after days out it was closed by the time we got back with a 6.30 closing. Hide

Very comfortable lodge in a great location. Well equipped, cosy and warm. There are a number of good walks/hikes that can be commenced from the lodge - which is convenient if you dont want to drive everywhere. The pool/jacuzzi were welcomed after long hikes! Nice welcoming touches such as biscuits/chocolate and coffee! Will be booking again.
