About this property
Located on the lakeside, this charming lodge blends the soothing sounds of nature with panoramic views of water and woodland, the ideal getaway for anyone keen to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Bassenthwaite Lodge Park is a sanctuary for a diverse range of wildlife, including otters, red squirrels, and numerous birds, a haven for nature lovers. Those who love life on the water can head down to the shores of Bassenthwaite Lake on your doorstep or Derwentwater, 8 miles away, to enjoy a lake cruise, canoeing or kayaking. The idyllic village of Keswick, 6.5 miles away, is famous for its historic theatre and cinema, and provides a playground of activities for outdoor explorers, boasting some stunning walks in the fells. The Georgian market town of Cockermouth, 9 miles away, boasts a fantastic selection of independent shops, cafes and restaurants.
The inviting open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner that greets you makes the most of the natural light and stunning vistas. The pitched, wooden-clad ceiling adds a sense of space, whilst contemporary touches set the scene for pure relaxation. Two sets of patio doors frame outstanding views of the lake, with the dining table and plush sofa perfectly placed to embrace these breathtaking views. Warm chilly toes beside the electric fire before whipping up some tasty treats in the contemporary farmhouse-style kitchen. Each of the bedrooms has been designed with comfort and relaxation in mind. The two twin bedrooms boast plenty of space to store all your holiday gear, with the en-suite king-size bedroom offering a peaceful haven to retire to. A stylish family bathroom completes this homely bolthole.
