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

Sophie

Watch tree lodge is a wonderful location, quiet but close to the local village. The lodge is of a very high standard comfortable and spotlessly clean. Everything you could think of for a comfortable stay. We enjoyed the little person touch of biscuits, tea, coffee, hot chocolate and milk when we arrived. We will be back.

Beverley

What a perfect, peaceful hideaway. Most of our week was spent in the garden, which was bliss in the heatwave. Then there's the lodge, so immaculate we were convinced it was all brand new! We met Steve, who was the perfect host & nothing was too much trouble. We would highly recommend for either a couple or family of 4. Thank you!

A beautiful lodge, comfortable, stylish and equipped with everything you need to have a wonderful holiday. The beds, duvet, sheets, pillows are obviously a very good quality and you feel pampered just snuggling under the quilt. The onsuite is beautifully designed with a walk in shower. Wardrobes are supplied with more than the average amount of hangers and are roomy. The open plan living, dining, kitchen makes it easy to prepare food whilst still being with familyfriends. There is a beautiful decking area with two distinct areas to sit. I think a mop of some kind may be a good addition to the stocked utility for those rainy days, as the water tends to pool in certain areas. We enjoyed the quietness and being cocooned by trees and bird song, watching the squirrels play and the pheasants parade around. Cartmel itself is beautiful and Sunday Lunch at the Pig and Whistle is was the best I have ever had. The whole area is a delight. The owners should be proud of what they have created.

Amanda

My partner and I stay in many lodgesholiday rentals and Watch Tree is honestly one of the best Ive ever stayed in. Interior and exterior fixtures and fittings are quality. The bed is one of the best Ive slept in and the pillows and linen are beautiful. The lodge has everything you could need and includes two fridges, which when youre staying for a week is super handy. The bathrooms are lovely and I always appreciate underfloor heating in a bathroom. If I was being very picky Id suggest some sort of shelfcorner shelf in the showers to put your bottles ets on, but I just balanced mine on the tap fixture. Although surrounded by other lodges its so peaceful. So many birds to watch and listen to, and we had a visit from two deers walking past the hot tub one evening. Its worth noting that as I said, theres other lodges, the hot tub is not overlooked or visible to anyone else at all. The owners Steve and Jayne are lovely and went above and beyond to help me with something. Would not hesitate in recommending Watch Tree Lodge to anyone. Looking forward to hopefully visiting again one day.

This lodge was exactly as described. The contact from the owners Steve & Jane gave a real personal touch. It felt like nothing was too much trouble. Their clear directions helped us find the property easily & little guide of local area helped us make final decisions on where to visit during our stay. The only one thing i could say that would improve this lodge wouldve been to have 1 double bed & 2 singles. If you are considering this property do it. You wont regret it. It was perfect in every way. Thanks so much for having us.

Fabulous spacious accommodation in a superb setting and location. Cleanliness is impeccable and Steve and Jane are most attentive if called upon.

I was blown away by Watch Tree Lodge which was immaculately clean and furnished to a very high standard. It had everything you could think of lovely location with privacy around the back where the hot tub was. Steve and Jayne were fabulous hosts and made sure we wanted for nothing. The interior was gorgeous with beautiful fixtures and fittings. The kitchen and wet rooms were well stocked loo rolls, milk, tea coffee, biscuits etc, washing up liquid, liquid soaps etc. This is the best lodge that I have ever stayed in. Our holiday was a wonderful relaxing experience and I could quite happily return again. Thank you

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

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.

Perfect lodge in every way, spotless and clean, everything you need for a relaxing break

Everything about this property was fantastic. It felt like home rather than holiday accommodation and the decor was stunning. Everything you could possibly need was provided and the beds were so comfortable. The hot tub was the perfect temperature to relax in after a long walk.

Bernadette

What an amazing lodge and hot tub! The owners had thought of everything, the quality of fixtures and furnishings was excellent. Despite the weather, we had a week of pure relaxation, warmth and comfort! A welcome tray with biscuits, tea, coffee and milk was appreciated. Many thanks to Steve and Jayne for their personal touch, especially the birthday card and gift. Highly recommended!

Superb lodge! Very luxurious, everything you could possibly need. The hot tub was a highlight, would definitely recommend and will be returning!

Steven

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
