Cartmel 0.9 miles. Watch Tree Lodge is a wonderful, single-storey holiday home, offering four guests a fabulous base for adventures across Cumbria and the Lake District. Settled on The Pastures, an esteemed lodge park, on the outskirts of the charming village of Allithwaite and just a mile from the picturesque village of Cartmel, Watch Tree Lodge boasts luxury features including a hot tub, en-suite shower rooms and a bespoke fitted kitchen, accommodating two couples in two plush bedrooms. Make your way inside your beautiful new home, passing through the well-presented utility area that houses the washing machine and tumble dryer, before entering the open-plan living space. Enjoy making your favourite dishes within the exquisite, fully-equipped kitchen with neutral, dark units and fresh timber worktops, home to quality appliances including a gas hob and electric oven, along with two fridges, both with their own iceboxes. Serve up evening meals at the dining table, positioned before a large window to illuminate the space and lit from above by quirky feature lighting, where you can share the best moments of the day over a glass of wine or two. Make yourself comfortable on one of the two sumptuous, grey sofas facing the Smart TV, so you can browse your favourite streaming services and choose the latest release as day rolls into night. Look forward to retiring at the end of the day to one of two fabulous bedrooms, both decorated in the same style, featuring inviting king-size beds, and Smart TVs with a fantastic living flame effect, creating a homely illusion that include sound effects of a roaring fire! Step into the en-suite shower room to find a fully-tiled and sleek washing space, with a rainfall showerhead for added luxury, underfloor heating, and a de-misting mirror. Each bedroom enjoys its own access out onto the rear decking where you can enjoy a relaxing soak in the hot tub, unwinding on the outdoor seating here with a drink afterwards, or make use of the front decking which boasts furniture for alfresco dining, perfect in the summer! This beautiful area is perched on the outskirts of the quaint village of Allithwaite, home to a local shop and a pub, while the village of Cartmel is just a short drive north, considered by many to be the prettiest village in the Lake District; it is home to charming, cobbled streets, traditional pubs, and antique shops. Enjoy a day at Cartmel Racecourse, which hosts around ten fixtures in the year, or head to Simon Rogan’s acclaimed, two-star Michelin restaurant, L'Enclume, for a truly special occasion. Pay a visit to the impressive Holker Hall & Gardens, one of the north's best-known historic houses, available to view via tours and home to a café and find the fascinating Lakeland Motor Museum nearby. Enjoy a day by the sea at the delightful seaside resort of Grange-over-Sands with many attractions to entertain and scenic strolls to take enjoy along the promenade. Make exciting memories on Consiton Water at the Water Park Lakeland Adventure Centre, or head to Lake Windermere for even more water sports, boat rides and lakeside scenery.

It was immaculately clean with everything we needed. The hot tub was just perfect after some long days exploring. I am usually not one for booking the same place twice as I like to try new places, but I would absolutley stay here again. Location was great as a base to explore the lake district and in walking distance of Cartmel, with a gorgeous sticky toffee pudding shop and a lovely play park which our 4 year old (and secretly i) enjoyed. I would recommend booking the local pub the pig and whistle as we struggled to get in without booking the day before.

Lots of space. Front and back outdoor seating area so you can get more sun. Quiet site - we were there on a busy weekend and still very peaceful. Hot tub very clean. Loads of glasses plus plastic for outside use. Had everything g we needed. Lots to see round about including Cartmel with its many pubs/restaurants is a short walk away so we didnât need to use the car all week - bonus. If you did want to travel further there are loads of interesting attractions close by so this is the ideal place to totally relax.
