About this property

Ballinorig Lodge is a detached, wooden lodge nestled on the outskirts of Cleator Moor, Cumbria. Boasting an open-plan living space, views to the hills and a private decked area with hot tub and barbecue, Ballinorig Lodge provides a sanctuary for couples and families seeking a stay in this region of Cumbria. Upon arrival, park up directly outside the lodge and unload your belongings and start getting to know this charming bolthole. Greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere, you’ll find the open-plan living area the perfect place to relax after a day spent exploring the local area. Settle down on one of the sofas and enjoy a movie night on the Smart TV, or gather around the woodburning stove for some quality family time. The kitchen comes equipped with all the necessary amenities for those wishing to cook up a storm, with a dining table and a breakfast bar is where these meals can be enjoyed. Freshen up in the shower room before heading outside for a dip in the hot tub, just a few steps away or venture to the private log cabin and light up the fire and barbecue for a cosy evening roasting marshmallows. As you look to call it a day, there are two tastefully presented bedrooms to choose from, including a king-size and a double, served by a gleaming shower room. Explore the local village of Cleator Moor, offering a convenience store for the essentials, The Crown Pub to sample ales and a selection of takeaways if you fancy something quick. Take a short drive up the coast to Whitehaven, a picturesque market town with a charming harbour, where you can uncover a selection of shops, eateries and pubs. Visit the Jennings Brewery for a tour of the brewery and a taste of their local ales, or explore the Rum Story, both ideal for a day trip. Further afield, you’ll find the historic town of Cockermouth, home to Wordsworth House, the birthplace of the celebrated Romantic poet; or why not explore the largest lake in the Lake District, Bassenthwaite, a beautiful body of water and tranquil spot to take in some of the most stunning views in the area. No matter the season, a stay at Ballinorig Lodge is perfect for those seeking relaxation.

Enjoying a peaceful position within the English county of Cumbria is Cleator Moor, a small town resting just a few miles away from Whitehaven and the coastline. The town plays host to a number of amenities, including a handful of pubs, shops and other small businesses, as well as a Mart Square, where there are three sculptures by Conrad Atkinson, a local artist of international repute. Here, you will also find part of the West Cumbria Cycle Network, which form a portion of the C2C Cycle Route, from Whitehaven to Sunderland. Those with two-wheels can look forward to meandering along the route of the old Whitehaven, Cleator and Egremont and Rowrah and Kelton Fell Railways, which were once very active in the 1850s. The port town of Whitehaven is nearby and rests on the west coast of Cumbria, where you will find a larger selection of amenities, as well as a golf course, The Beacon Museum and the attraction of The Rum Story & Jefferson' Shop. During the summer months, be sure to spend time on the local beaches of Providence Bay Beach, Tanyard Bay Beach and Fleswick Bay or head to the Lake District National Park to uncover some great walking opportunities and other outdoor adventure. Cleator Moor is a delightful town for exploring further afield.
