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 amazing lake and mountain 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 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 endless 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.

There are a great variety of eating and drinking options in the local area, with a lovely old pub in Bassenthwaite serving good food and restaurant bistro at the Manor House, both close to the lodge.

Please note we cannot accept cats or large dogs that shed (due to owners allergies). Please contact the owner if unsure.

We loved our salty ate the lodge. The grounds are tidy and as described being next to the lake and very peaceful. The birds that visit and feed from the deck are beautiful and great to watch. Lodge is warm and cosy and has everything needed for a great stay. Ali was great to deal with and very good with responding if we have any questions.

This home is right on the lake, perfect for a quiet stay in a beautiful location, with a gorgeous view of the lake. Close to many Lake District attractions. The host was very responsive before and during our stay, provided many helpful recommendations for things to do in the area and nearby necessities. The check in process was very smooth and easy. The house is well equipped with necessary items to make your stay comfortable. Overall great, we had a lovely Lake District vacation!

Excellent location and lodge. Very peaceful and quiet. Keswick only 15 minutes away. Lake was excellent but don’t forget to bring your equipment etc as you cannot hire any canoes, boat on site. One minor bad comment was the outside furniture had bird poo on it and could have been avoided if they had been covered. Will definitely be booking at again and recommend to anyone wanting a quiet holiday with family and friends.
