One of a small collection of holiday properties on the historic Calthwaite Hall Estate, this elegant lodge is ideal for a small family or two couples and a pair of four-pawed pals. A private hot tub elevates the holiday experience, and there’s easy access to the Lake District and Scottish Borders for adventures further afield.
Busy or laid-back – have the holiday you want at this fabulous two-bedroomed lodge, set in the grounds of Grade II-listed Calthwaite Hall. A place where you can reconnect with family or friends and faithful canine companions, the open-plan living space here has a choice of seating so you can stretch out for home-style evenings in front of the Smart TV. Switch on the flame-effect electric fire and the dogs will wiggle their paws in delight! To one end, the kitchen is stylish and contemporary, and the dining suite sit conveniently close by. Windows and sliding patio doors fill the room area with light; when it’s time to settle the dogs for the night simply close the curtains and head along the hall where there’s a choice of two smart bedrooms – the master has a king-size bed, TV and en-suite shower room while the other is a twin room. A separate bathroom ensures convenience for everyone. For fell views and a sniff of fresh country air, step out onto your private decking area, where there’s comfortable seating and a hot tub. Lie back in the bubbles as the dogs snooze close by.
The Eden Valley feels miles from the bustle of everyday life, its friendly villages home to a fine choice of pubs, bakeries, tea rooms and independent stores. Right on your doorstep, Calthwaite is home to the Grade II-listed Calthwaite Hall and a traditional Cumbrian inn; lap up the views of the Pennines as you explore. Enjoy different walkies every day: Pooley Bridge at the northern end of Ullswater is 13.5 miles away and the popular towns of Penrith (8 miles) and Keswick (20 miles) are also within striking distance. Eleven miles north, Carlisle sits just shy of the Scottish border; visit for its laid-back city vibe, historic castle and walkies along the iconic Hadrian’s Wall.
