Envisage a staycation characterised by stunning scenery, delicious local fare and relaxing evenings soaking under the stars in your own private hot tub. This delightful lodge is based just 8 miles from the bustling streets of Penrith and is within easy reach of the Lake District National Park, a must for those with a love of the outdoors. Ideal for families and sleeping four guests across two bedrooms, you’ll receive a warm greeting in the form of a lavish welcome pack brimming with goodies and essentials.
Don the bathrobes and slippers provided before uncorking the wine and unwinding in style, feasting on a BBQ supper and stargazing from the bubbling hot tub on the decked area outside. Inside, the lounge/kitchen/diner is elegant and spacious with high ceilings, providing a comfortable retreat for film nights teamed with bowls of buttery popcorn. Change pace and dress up for a candlelit feast prepared in the kitchen, then swap stories by the flame-effect electric fire when you are full-bellied and weary. At bedtime, the master bedroom offers a restful night’s sleep complete with a TV and en-suite shower room, and there is a pretty twin room too. There’s also a handy shower room and off-road parking for one car.
Discover a world that has inspired artists, poets and writers in the Lake District National Park, a fairy-tale landscape of glacial lakes, pockets of ancient forest and miles of rugged countryside. A stroll around Ullswater 16 miles away will enthuse explorers of all ages, especially if you factor in a well-deserved pub lunch at Pooley Bridge 13.5 miles away. Awash with independent shops and eateries, Penrith is an excellent choice for a day trip where you can soak up the historic charm and visit the castle ruins.
