Stay in this quaint log cabin situated in a woodland area with patio area and seating. Close by you will find a vast choice of walking and cycling routes, and Windermere and Bowness a short drive.

This charming lodge for up to three people, is set in an idyllic woodland between the popular destinations of Ambleside and Skelwith Bridge. It’s perfectly located for exploring the lakes and two dogs are also welcome, who will no doubt love the many walks which pass the front door. Guests also benefit from full use of the on-site leisure complex, which includes a pool, jacuzzi and sauna.

This quaint log cabin has been thoughtfully designed to create a welcoming and relaxing retreat. Steps lead down to the entrance which goes on into the spacious open-plan living area. The stylish kitchen is equipped with everything you’ll need to make yourselves at home when preparing meals. Enjoy a hearty breakfast or a quick snack at the dining table, before unwinding on the inviting leather sofas in the lounge while the coal effect electric fire warms your toes and weary paws. In the two pretty bedrooms, a double and a single, wake up from a restful sleep and take in those beautiful woodland views. A shower room is also on this level. Sit back and take in your tranquil surroundings on the terrace, before soothing aching muscles with a swim or sauna at the on-site leisure complex.

A local pub and shop are within walking distance, while the bustling town of Ambleside (5 miles) is great for a meander. From there, take to the water at Lake Windermere and enjoy a pleasure cruise, before stopping off to explore the fascinating Wray Castle, which overlooks the lake. Hawkshead (6.5 miles) is popular for its cobbled streets, pubs and Beatrix Potter Gallery, which celebrates the author’s early work.

The location itself was fantastic and I can only respect the brilliance of the environment. The cabin was super clean and setup for us to crash as soon as we arrived. The welcoming gifts were lovely with chocolate, cookies and much needed coffee!

A lovey place to stay with a dog, with everything we needed. The view was lovely. We visited in the winter when the pool was shut which was a shame but it is a small pool more suited to children having a splash about. It was easy to get to the local villages and lots of lovely walks near by. Although we didnt visit the nearby pub it is within walkiRead moreng distance. Hide

Lovely cosy lodge even in rather wet November weather. Incredible view from lounge and main bedroom. Unfortunately we didn't see any deer or squirrels but there was a horse. Accommodation very clean and well equipped and lovely welcome pack. Very comfortable, quiet nights sleep. Would recommend as great walking on the doorstep.
