About this property

A homely lodge in a tranquil setting with lake view

Set on the shores of the beautiful Bassenthwaite Lake in the Lake District National Park, this small tranquil park, nestled at the foot of the dramatic Skiddaw mountain range, is the perfect relaxing getaway. Enjoy the lake views, the peaceful surroundings and the extensive birdlife from our homely and cosy lodge.

This spacious lodge offers guests a variety of home comforts, so expect to find comfy beds, modern bathrooms, a cosy fire, a really well-equipped kitchen with a wide range of kitchen equipment and basic larder items, a washer-dryer, fridge freezer and dishwasher.

Bird seed is provided so you can enjoy the birdlife; blankets are too, so you can keep warm on a chilly evening while you star gaze from the deck. There are games, DVDS and an X-Box with a variety of games for those rainy evenings in the lodge.

Guests are welcome to bring kayaks, paddle boards and non-motorised boats to explore the clear lake waters or alternatively you can stick to a swim or paddle!

There are numerous walks to enjoy in the area, ranging from flatter walks round the lake and through the woods to long days out high up on the fells, many of which are easily accessible from the lodge. There are maps and walking books to help you plan your day out.

We allow one well behaved dog for free, additional dogs may be allowed and may be subject to a small fee. Please note we cannot accept cats or large dogs that shed (due to owners allergies). Please contact the owner if unsure.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The lodge has a truly wonderful view of the lake with the setting sun hitting the veranda when the weather is good. The lounge, kitchen and dining areas work really well and while the bedrooms are small they are perfect for a holiday. Paddleboarding on the lake was the best

The property is sited near the lake and it's lovely. Quiet and tranquil but we had to use the car to go places which wasn't a major problem. The only disappointment was there's no hot tub but we soon forgot about that. Would definitely go again.

Beautiful location with great facilities. The heat wave conditions were challenging at the end of the week but without air conditioning this would be the case anywhere. On site EV charging (7kW) available at 65p/kWh July 2026 or ultrarapid at Booths in Keswick at 95p. Nearest Tesla charger at Rheged near Penrith (open to all.)

We had a wonderful time in the lodge and were blessed with the weather for April. The lodge has fabulous views of the lake and was spotlessly clean. A real home from home with everything a family needs and the beds are so comfortable. Excellent communication with the owner. I will most definitely return, highly recommended.
