Nestled between the Lake District National Park and the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this well-presented lodge is ideal for families who love the great outdoors. Located in the peaceful Cumbrian village of Calthwaite, you have plenty of countryside walks on your doorstep The local area is perfect for outdoor activities such as walking, cycling, canoeing and climbing; after a busy day, you can return home to soak aching limbs in your hot tub under the stars.

One of five properties at this location, this charming lodge is within the Calthwaite Estate and occupies a tranquil rural position. Immaculately presented throughout, floor-to-ceiling windows and light tones create a light and airy space for you to relax in. The open-plan living area consists of a comfortable lounge, a well-equipped kitchen and ample dining seating for everyone. Down the hall, there are two lovely bedrooms, an en-suite and a shower room. During the summer months, you can enjoy al fresco dining on the terrace, whilst the hot tub is the perfect way to unwind whatever the weather. There’s also a paddock for horses, should you need it.
