Private, rustic and tranquil this alpine style lodge is accommodation aimed at the more discerning guest who seeks a quiet romantic hideaway or an old school family retreat.
Far from the madding crowd yet only minutes from either Ambleside or Grasmere this lodge is hidden within a tranquil and mature woodland setting. Our efficient insulation, double-glazing and electric heating ensures that the lodge is warm and cosy while crystal clear spring water, full of minerals and as soft as silk, is drawn directly from our local borehole and piped straight to your tap for washing and drinking. Enjoy great access to both birds and wildlife, including frequent visits from roe deer or occasionally a red squirrel or two. Whether you are a walker or a gamer you will feel closer to nature while at the same time enjoying modern conveniences and tech.
The lodge is non-smoking throughout. There are 4 bedspaces - One double and two single beds. Bed linens are provided for everyone and beds will be made up ready for your arrival. Towels and tea-towels are provided, so you need only bring your toothbrush.

Lovely cabin, well situated spot. Welcoming warm and cosy, sesonally decorated. The double bed is one of the most comfortable we slept Equipped with everything you need and more.Great easy and friendly communication with the hosts. Will certainly return in the future and recommend to friends and family.
We were a family of 4 (2 adults & 2 teenagers) staying at this beautiful log cabin for 3 nights. The location was fantastic…only a few minutes drive from Ambleside. The log cabin was spotlessly clean, and everything we could possibly need. The outdoor space is a bonus with some amazing views.
We loved every minute of our stay! Thank you 💕
