Bassenthwaite Lakeside Lodges

Bassenthwaite Lakeside Lodges is a small, self-catering holiday park set on the shores of Bassenthwaite Lake, nestled at the foot of Skiddaw Mountain in the Lake District National Park.

The park holds both the David Bellamy Gold Award for conservation and a Visit England 5-Star rating.

It is a noted haven for wildlife, including otters, red squirrels, and numerous bird species, and Bassenthwaite Lake serves as a feeding ground for ospreys that nest in nearby Whinlatter Forest.

The park offers nine lodges sleeping four to six people, available in one, two, and three-bedroom configurations, some with hot tubs and furnished timber decks. Guests have direct lake access, including a jetty with seasonal fishing.

The site is dog-friendly and within easy driving distance of attractions such as Mirehouse, the Lakes Distillery, and Castlerigg Stone Circle.
