Haverthwaite is a small village and civil parish in the Furness region of Cumbria. It is within the Lake District National Park and is located six miles east of Ulverston, near the southern end of Windermere. The village gets part of its name from the Old Norse word thwaite which usually refers to a clearing or settlement in the forest. Close to the village is Newby Bridge which is at the southern tip of Lake Windermere which takes its name from the five arched stone bridge built in 1651 over the River Leven. The famous Furness Railway, one of Britain's oldest working standard gauge steam railways, runs between Haverthwaite and Newby Bridge. Visit the Lakeside Hotels and enjoy magnificent views across Windermere and the surrounding fells, or enjoy the Aquarium of the Lakes, where the naturally themed habitats, bring the history of the Lakes vividly to life.

The lodge exceeded expectations. Everything in there was really high quality, very clean and attention to detail was so good. The treats for everyone on arrival (including the dog!) were very thoughtful. Unfortunately the weather wasn't good enough to enjoy sitting on the patio or enjoying a BBQ at night. It was really peaceful and the information in the lodge provided lots of walks from the doorstep (we did one of them as had already pre-booked activities before we arrived). The only negative was that the bedrooms were very warm at nighttime and as they were on ground level didn't want to sleep with the window open. There was a fan in the lodge but that was pinched by our sons! We would definitely return though as it's definitely the best holiday lodge we have stayed in. Thank you.

Super clean and comfortable accommodation that was perfect for our family. Location of the lodge is a perfect distance from Ulverston and Lake Windermere. Welcome pack was such a nice touch too, with items for us and for a dog.

The surroundings were amazing if you are looking for peace and quiet as the only noise was the sounds of birds and the river. The lodge does get hot but as the weather was good we had both patio doors open all the time so it quickly cooled. Very handy that the patio area was enclosed so our dog could come and go without risk of wandering off. We could not fault anything about the lodge or the site and will be coming back.
