It is just six miles from the southerly tip of Lake Windemere in the beautiful Lake District, and with easy access to the whole of the south and west Lakes, where you can explore the majestic fells, ancient woodlands and serene lakes.
This contemporary property is a wonderful choice for families, friends or couples looking for a break away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life in this beautiful quiet corner of Cumbria.
The open-plan living space is the social hub of the lodge, equipped with a well-appointed kitchen and dining area. Unwind on the sofa by the woodburning stove, complimented by a smart TV with Freeview and Netflix.

The short walk to Cartmel enables you to enjoy the dog-friendly pubs with great food, real ales, and Live Music on the weekends. The village also boasts two Michelin star restaurants under the famous chef, Simon Rogan, and a third near by (Heft) in the village of High Newton. The rural horse racing course adds another dimension, with nine race meetings a year. The bustling towns of the Lake District; Kendal, Bowness on Windermere, Ambleside and Coniston are all within easy reach, and rich in tourist attractions. Expect all this and more at Bay Tree Lodge.
The historic, South Lakeland village of Cartmel is renowned as the prettiest village in the Lake District.

The village features pretty streamside walks, quaint cobbled streets littered with antique shops, a charming gift shop, welcoming, traditional pubs serving real ale, the nationally acclaimed, Michelin Star awarded L'Enclume restaurant, and the Cartmel Village shop, which sells the famous sticky toffee pudding.

Garden fabulous for the dogs, great internet and telly with netflix and prime. The only negative thing i could say is that the two small windows in the living area have fabric folded blinds that you cannot pull down, and although you are not overlooked , i would have liked to have been able to have the windows covered at night.
