Set against the backdrop of Bassenthwaite Lake at the foot of dramatic Skiddaw Mountain, this contemporary lodge offers the perfect escape for couples and small families seeking adventure and tranquillity in the heart of the Lake District. With the lake practically on your doorstep, you can dive straight into paddleboarding, canoeing, or even open-water swimming without stepping foot in the car. What truly sets this property apart is the hot tub positioned to capture stunning lake views – imagine soaking under the stars with a glass of something special as the mountain silhouette frames your evening.
Step inside this beautifully appointed lodge and discover a stylish open-plan living space where contemporary fittings blend seamlessly with comfortable soft furnishings. The heart of the home features a dining area illuminated by elegant pendant lighting, while the lounge area centres around a Smart TV and cosy flame-effect electric fire – perfect for unwinding after a day exploring the fells. The kitchen caters to all your culinary needs with a five-ring gas hob and wine cooler fridge, while a dedicated work space tucked into the corridor ensures you can stay connected if needed. Two thoughtfully decorated bedrooms provide restful retreats: a master double with an en-suite bathroom, and a twin room served by a family shower room with a walk-in shower. Outside, the wraparound balcony becomes your private viewing platform over the lake, while the shared grounds provide direct lake access and a children's play area. There is off-road parking for two cars.
