Haverthwaite is a small village and civil parish in the Furness region of Cumbria. It is within the Lake District National Park and is located six miles east of Ulverston, near the southern end of Windermere. The village gets part of its name from the Old Norse word thwaite which usually refers to a clearing or settlement in the forest. Close to the village is Newby Bridge which is at the southern tip of Lake Windermere which takes its name from the five arched stone bridge built in 1651 over the River Leven. The famous Furness Railway, one of Britain's oldest working standard gauge steam railways, runs between Haverthwaite and Newby Bridge. Visit the Lakeside Hotels and enjoy magnificent views across Windermere and the surrounding fells, or enjoy the Aquarium of the Lakes, where the naturally themed habitats, bring the history of the Lakes vividly to life.

Every thing was way above what we had expected and the effort from the owners was also first class and very professional from the start to the end of our holiday. If you want me to comment about anything. Maybe you could put some low lights along the track somewhere for people walking back to the lodges late at night.

Ideally located near main transit links for visiting The Bay and main southern lakes and of course the steam railway and motor museum. The Lodges and their fittings are the next level in terms of environment and quality, well done for the vision and implementation. We will visit again soon.

The lodge exceeded expectations. Everything in there was really high quality, very clean and attention to detail was so good. The treats for everyone on arrival (including the dog!) were very thoughtful. Unfortunately the weather wasn't good enough to enjoy sitting on the patio or enjoying a BBQ at night. It was really peaceful and the information in the lodge provided lots of walks from the doorstep (we did one of them as had already pre-booked activities before we arrived). The only negative was that the bedrooms were very warm at nighttime and as they were on ground level didn't want to sleep with the window open. There was a fan in the lodge but that was pinched by our sons! We would definitely return though as it's definitely the best holiday lodge we have stayed in. Thank you.
