    “This is our third stay at Upper Lodge.”

    Our retrievers get excited from the minute we pull on the drive, so it’s clearly a big tick for them! We love the quality of the beds, the well equipped kitchen (Nespresso machine!), useful utility for the dogs, and large enclosed garden. Comfy living room with log fire and Smart TV. Owners have made additions since our last stay. new boiler and larger radiator in both bathroom, so the warm of the property was spot on for a November visit. Cannot rate this property enough.

    Dear Customer, Thank you for your review. We are very pleased to hear you had a happy and comfortable stay at Upper Lodge. We have installed new sofas and arm chair and as you rightly say we have installed an air source heat pump which required new radiators. A gardener visits Upper Lodge weekly and we continue to keep the garden interesting and in good order. We are really delighted that your retrievers give Upper Lodge their seal of approval!! Thank you. The owners Property Owner

The property

This single storey detached lodge sits in its own large garden surrounded by open countryside just outside the delightful town of Bowness-on-Windermere, in the heart of the Lake District.

Originally a coach house to the bigger property, Upper Lodge is a fabulous retreat with family or friends, boasting character touches in combination with functional, modern features.

Look forward to unwinding in the delightful sitting room, complete with a lovely sofa where you sit back and listen to the crackle of the woodburner, or pick out a book from the shelf and lose yourself in a good read.

Meander past the bedrooms to find the kitchen/diner, home to all the essentials for a self-catered break, including an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, plus there is a utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer, so you have everything you could need!

Retire to either of the three bedrooms each light and pretty, including two king-size doubles and a twin, each decorated in a country style with sash windows and lovely furniture.

Choose between the shower room or the bathroom to prepare for the day, before enjoying a light breakfast within the lawned garden.

When you’re ready to explore, the quaint town of Bowness is home to an abundance of quirky stores, charming pubs and well-established restaurants, as well as a bustling marina and the popular World of Beatrix Potter Attraction.

Both Blackwell, the Arts and Crafts House Museum and the Windermere Jetty - the Steamboat Museum are minutes away.

See the cascading waters of Stock Ghyll Force over in Ambleside, or step back in time at the historic remains of Ambleside Roman Fort.

Hop on board the iconic Windermere steamer and enjoy a relaxing cruise across the lake, explore the wonders of Rydal Cave, or visit the nearby town of Kendal for some great family attractions.

There’s plenty to do from this superb Lake District home.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
