Watch Tree Lodge in Allithwaite near Cartmel | Must-See Cumbria Hot Tub Cottage

About Watch Tree Lodge

Watch Tree Lodge is a luxury single-storey lodge in Allithwaite, Cumbria. This high-end retreat sits on the edge of the Lake District, just a mile from Cartmel and a short drive from Grange-over-Sands. Every inch of this accommodation screams quality - from the sumptuous grey sofas to the multiple Smart TVs.

The surrounding area offers the perfect mix of peace and excitement. You're tucked away in a quiet spot where the only thing disturbing your lie-in might be the occasional bird. Yet you're less than a mile from shops and pubs. Fancy something fancier? L'Enclume restaurant is just down the road in Cartmel - though you'll need to book about a century in advance. Lake Windermere is close enough for day trips without the tourist crowds on your doorstep.

The accommodation features two king-size bedrooms, each with its own Smart TV and en-suite shower room. The open-plan living space has underfloor heating throughout - no cold toes here! The kitchen comes fully equipped with everything from electric oven to two fridges with iceboxes - because one fridge clearly isn't enough for holiday cocktails.

Nearby attractions include Cartmel Racecourse (1 mile, 5 mins), famous for both horses and sticky toffee pudding. Holker Hall & Gardens (3 miles, 10 mins) offers stunning grounds to explore. The Lakeland Motor Museum (6 miles, 15 mins) houses an impressive collection of vehicles. South Lakes Safari Zoo (10 miles, 25 mins) makes for a wild day out with the family.

Watch Tree Lodge is perfect for couples or small families wanting a luxurious base with private hot tub. After a day exploring, soak those muscles while sipping something cold. Just don't drop your phone in - those holiday Instagram shots won't take themselves!

Watch Tree Lodge Reviews

A stylish luxury lodge situated in a beautiful quiet spot. Providing everything you could possibly need. From the comfortable beds to the hot tub. Thanks to Steve and Jayne.

Very pleasing accommodation, plenty of space to relax. Gave us a very special Valentines Weekend

We had a wonderful stay. I took my girls away to celebrate one of there 30th birthdays with my grandson. The whole experience was lovely. We would definitely come back again, so thank you for a memorable holiday. We wished it was longer!

Beautiful lodge well equipped and clean peaceful location , helpful owners , would highly recommend

Judith

Excellent property, brilliant location, spotlessly clean, comfortable furniture & beds. Well equipped. Lots of space both inside & out. Attention to detail was amazing. Steve & Jayne were friendly but not intrusive hosts. What is not to like !!!. We will return to Watch Tree Lodge. We give it six stars Judith & Fred

Had a lovely 4 night stay here with my partner and another couple. Modern, clean and private! Would definitely consider this lodge again if we return to The Lakes in future. Our only comment would be that we couldn't find a bread knife which would have made slicing bagelsbread a bit easier, but that's literally it and being nit picky... Thank you for a lovely stay!

Wow, what a superb property! Watch Tree Lodge was spotlessly clean and came with everything we needed. Nestled at the edge of the park, we felt very secluded and loved the option of sitting at the back or front to make the most of the sun! We decided to go on one of the walks suggested in the 'what to do' folder and the instructions were perfect, it was so nice to be able to walk straight from the house. We would love to return one day and will be recommending to family and friends.

This lodge is outstanding the attention to detail is amazing it has everything ... This lodge is outstanding the attention to detail is amazing it has everything you need and more the owners are very friendly and nothing is a bother to them if your looking for peace and quiet this is for you

This lodge is in an ideal location and has everything you need for a perfect stay. The facilities were great, Jayne and Steve had thought of everything. The decor lovely and absolutely spotless.

Watch Tree Lodge was spotlessly clean on arrival and the equipment and comfort first class. This is the best lodge we have stayed in and the lodge site is ideal for exploring the surrounding Lake District. It was nice to relax in the spacious hot tub after a day's sightseeing.

Christopher

Bethany

We had such a lovely and peaceful holiday in this beautifully presented, cosy and exquisitely clean lodge. Absolutely the relaxing experience we were hoping for, but plenty to do as well. We went on several nice walks round the area and stopped in so many lovely cafs, pubs and small local shops. We finished our trip with a day out at bownessonwindermere which was amazing and we definitely reccomend anyone staying here to visit. Very friendly and welcoming hosts. Couldn't have asked for anything more honestly. Thank you for having us!

Lovely lodge. Very clean Has everything you could want Quiet location Private hot tub Lovely owners

This lodge is one of the best we have stayed in so clean, beautifully decorated, and very peaceful.

We had a lovely 4 night stay at watch tree Lodge and would highly recomend. It was immaculately clean with everything we needed. The hot tub was just perfect after some long days exploring. I am usually not one for booking the same place twice as I like to try new places, but I would absolutley stay here again. Location was great as a base to explore the lake district and in walking distance of Cartmel, with a gorgeous sticky toffee pudding shop and a lovely play park which our 4 year old and secretly i enjoyed. I would recommend booking the local pub the pig and whistle as we struggled to get in without booking the day before.

Lesley

True luxury lodge. Lots of space. Front and back outdoor seating area so you can get more sun. Quiet site we were there on a busy weekend and still very peaceful. Hot tub very clean. Loads of glasses plus plastic for outside use. Had everything g we needed. Lots to see round about including Cartmel with its many pubsrestaurants is a short walk away so we didnt need to use the car all week bonus. If you did want to travel further there are loads of interesting attractions close by so this is the ideal place to totally relax.

Rating Me and my wife recently had the pleasure of staying at watch tree lodge for our mini moon. nestled in the breathtaking landscapes of the Lake District, and I must say it was an experience that exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, we was captivated by the lodge's charm, warmth, and impeccable service. The interior was tastefully adorned with cozy furnishings, blending seamlessly with the rustic ambiance. Every detail, from the crackling fireplace to the softest linens, was thoughtfully chosen to create a truly luxurious retreat. Steve and Jayne were exceptional, displaying genuine warmth and professionalism throughout our stay. Their knowledge of the area was invaluable, as they provided insightful recommendations for exploring the nearby hiking trails, charming villages, and hidden gems that made out visit truly unforgettable.The lodge's amenities were topnotch, catering to every need and desire. If you're seeking an idyllic escape from the chaos of everyday life, this lodge in the heart of the Lake District is an absolute mustvisit. Its natural beauty, impeccable service, and attention to detail make it an oasis of serenity that will leave you rejuvenated and longing to return. Our stay was truly a 5star experience, and I cannot recommend it enough. We will be booking for 2024.

The last 10 days was our second say this year at Watch Tree, just as the first time, lovely, clean and the most important thing is we felt so much at home. Steve and Jayne, are so nice and friendly , we have booked again for 2024 Jack & Jo
