Family getaway in this lovely Lakeland lodge with private parking and patio

This spacious, luxury two bedroom lodge is an easy 10 minute walk from the lovely Lake District village of Hawkshead and within 15 minutes drive of Coniston, Esthwaite Water and the north western shores of Lake Windermere. It is set on a private lodge site containing only five lodges. With woodland, farmland, a stream and the Lake District fells as your backdrop you`ll be hard pressed to find anywhere better to walk off some energy or sit back and enjoy some rest and relaxation.

The Lodge:
The lodge is built and finished to a very high standard. There are four steps up to the front door and the decking but once inside, the lodge is all on one level. You will enter through the utility room where there is a washer/dryer, boiler and space to leave muddy shoes, boots and coats.
There are two generously sized bedrooms, both with built in wardrobes. The master bedroom has a king sized bed with a large en-suite shower room and there is also a twin bedroom.
There is a family bathroom with a mains shower over the bath and a large towel rail.
The open plan kitchen is fully equipped with a microwave, dishwasher, gas hob, electric oven and a fridge/freezer.
The open plan lounge/diner has lots of space and incorporates a dining table which seats four, large sofas, a smart TV and a wood burner (with logs easily available in Ambleside or Hawkshead). From here you can also access the deck / patio with outdoor seating where you can sit back and listen to the sounds of the nearby Lakeland stream.

Guest Verification and Good Housekeeping Bond or Waiver:
Once your booking is confirmed, we request a contact email address, mobile phone number and a photo of a Government ID as part of the guest verification process. Also, to encourage all guests to respect the property and its contents, we ask for a refundable Good Housekeeping Bond of £400 to be placed as a hold against a card by your card issuer, or alternatively, we allow guests to pay a non-refundable £40 Bond Waiver. Completing these two steps is mandatory as it allows access to your personalised Boarding Pass which provides all the details for your stay, advice about activities, electronic manuals, directions to the property and the latest key safe code. This Boarding Pass is provided in conjunction with Enso Connect.

The Local Area:
Hawkshead Village is a true Lakeland village surrounded by the Lakeland Fells, right in the centre of the UNESCO Lake District National Park. Footpaths and mountain bike trails abound and once you`ve worked up an appetite there are plenty of cosy Lakes` pubs and restaurants to visit to restore yourself before you head off on your next adventure.

Check-in and Check out:
The property is set up to allow remote access with easy self check-in meaning that no direct contact with anyone is needed.
Please note: Check-in is from 16:00 and Check-out is before 10:00

Infants:
This property is not baby friendly in that it does not provide a travel cot, high chair or children`s dinnerware, however you are welcome to bring your own.

Parking and Public Transport:
Each lodge on the small site has dedicated parking. Local buses leave from the nearby Hawkshead Village and allow those guests who may be nervous of narrow Lakeland lanes to hop on and tour the Lake District with ease. It`s an easy walk into the centre of Hawkshead and there are also lots of other walks and mountain bike trails nearby. The lakes themselves are a short drive away and water sports can be booked with multiple providers around Lake Windermere.

We Provide:
We provide a selection of complimentary teas and coffees, oil, salt and pepper, kitchen roll, cling film, tin foil and greaseproof paper as well as a washing-up pack, oven gloves and tea towels. The consumables should last at least a couple of days. If you do need to top up your supplies there is a Co-op in Hawkshead where you will be able to do this. We also provide some cleaning products in case you need them while you are visiting. These are under the sink in the kitchen.

Please note that as stipulated in the house rules, BBQ`s are not to be used in or around the property.
