Avondale Lodge At Calthwaite Hall, Penrith

Avondale Lodge At Calthwaite Hall is a modern 4-star lodge tucked away in Cumbria's Eden Valley. This stylish retreat sits just outside the Lake District national park, making it the perfect base for exploring the region's lakes and fells. The open-plan living space with built-in Bluetooth speakers creates a relaxed atmosphere for your holiday.

The Eden Valley location puts you in prime position for day trips to Ullswater Lake and the historic market town of Penrith. Fancy venturing further? Northumberland's attractions are within reach too. After a day of hiking or sightseeing, you'll appreciate returning to your private hot tub. Nothing beats sinking into those bubbles with a favourite drink while the Lake District rain pours down around your covered cabana. That's what I call holiday multitasking!

The accommodation features two well-appointed bedrooms - a king-size master with its own TV and en-suite shower room, plus a twin room served by the main shower room. Both bathrooms have complimentary toiletries and the kitchen comes fully equipped with everything from a dishwasher to a microwave. Horse owners can even bring their dogs as paddock space is available for an additional charge.

Visit Ullswater (15 miles, 25 minutes) for breathtaking mountain scenery and boat trips. Explore historic Penrith (6 miles, 12 minutes) with its ancient castle ruins and independent shops. Aira Force Waterfall (18 miles, 30 minutes) offers spectacular walks through woodland to a 65-foot cascade. Lowther Castle (12 miles, 20 minutes) provides stunning gardens and fascinating ruins to explore.

Avondale Lodge At Calthwaite Hall works perfectly for small families or couples wanting countryside comfort with easy access to adventures. Book it if you want the Lake District experience without the tourist crowds.
