Darwin Retreat

About this property

Darwin Retreat is a striking detached lodge nestled on North Lakes Holiday Park, near Aspatria, Cumbria. With off-road parking for two vehicles, it offers a lovely launchpad for couples discovering the region’s awe-inspiring landscapes and tranquil villages. Step inside and you’ll find a generous open-plan living space where natural textures and warm tones set the scene. A sofa anchors the room, inviting you to settle in after a day of exploring. The kitchen, sleek and well-appointed, provides all the essentials for crafting hearty meals, from the induction hob to the dishwasher tucked neatly away. As evening falls, gather around the Smart TV or cue up a film on the DVD player for a relaxed night in.

The lodge’s king-size bedroom is a quiet haven, complete with its own TV for slow mornings and late-night viewing. The en-suite bathroom is a standout feature, designed with indulgence in mind. A bath to soak in, a spacious walk-in shower, and even a private sauna offer a spa-like experience, complemented by thoughtful touches such as a heated towel rail and hair dryer. A washing machine and tumble dryer are also on hand for added convenience. Outside, the veranda extends the living space into the fresh air. Sink into the hot tub beneath the stars, dine alfresco, or lounge with a drink while watching the outdoor Smart TV.

It’s a space that invites you to pause and take in the surroundings. Whether you're drawn by the call of the fells, the quiet of the countryside, or the stories etched into the local heritage, Darwin Retreat is a remarkable base for your Lake District escape.

Aspatria is a small town in west Cumbria which has had a settlement there for over 3000 years. The town is located on the site of an old Roman road and is known for its 19th century St. Kentigern church. Lying just 5 miles from the coast and on the edge of the Lake District National Park, Aspatria is a superb base for discovering the Cumbrian countryside. It has a railway station and a number of shops and pubs. Just a few miles to the north is the market town of Wigton which still holds a market each Tuesday in the covered market hall. Wigton is a popular centre for shopping, pubs and restaurants, and also boasts a theatre, bowls, swimming, tennis and other sports.
