Guests will delight in enjoying the entertaining antics of their bushy tailed neighbours! Watching the busy red squirrels provides an engrossing pastime, and nuts and seeds can be found in the shed to feed them with. In a prime position, overlooking Duke’s Pond (a medieval watering hole for Drovers) in a small, private development, Larchwood offers well-presented good quality accommodation and the opportunity to feel close to nature in idyllic surroundings. The countryside surrounding the lodge is unspoilt, with Greystoke Forest on one side and stunning views to Blencathra on the other. There are gardens to the front, rear and side of the property, as well as a generous decking area, offering ample outdoor space to enjoy the picturesque surroundings. Nearby are the charming villages of Greystoke, Caldbeck, Mungrisdale and Hesketh Newmarket, with their own pubs and local shops. Sitting between Keswick, Penrith, Carlisle and Ullswater, Larchwood offers an ideal base for exploring the northern Lake District and Cumbria. Shop, pub and restaurant 4 miles.

Penrith not very far away for local supermarkets and takeaways. Property had everything you would ever need. Was lovely and clean and most of all peaceful, just sitting and watching the red squirrels and the birds.

We stayed here during the February half term school holidays. The lodge was excellently equipped with everything that we needed and super-clean. Wifi very good. Within an hours drive to days out with lovely walks and scenery. With so much wildlife to enjoy back at the lodge. We will definitely be recommending this lodge to family and friends. Thank you very much and hope to return soon.
