About this property

Armathwaite 3.8 miles. Plot 34 is a three-bedroom, contemporary lodge nestled into the attractive, rural holiday park in Hesket near Armathwaite, Cumbria, and is perfect for families seeking to explore the surroundings of the Lake District National Park. Be welcomed into an open-plan living space with a light and airy atmosphere, a charming social hub for guests to enjoy. Here there is a kitchen with a selection of amenities for home cooking, a dining table for hearty meals, and a sitting area benefiting from the added ambiance of an electric fire. From here, throw open the double doors and head out onto the decking to dine alfresco, making the most of the beautiful countryside views. When sleep calls, three bedrooms, serviced by a bathroom, await, so choose between a king-size bedroom, a twin, and a single. Step outside and you’ll find a wealth of walking and cycling opportunities, with the area’s rich heritage unfolding right on your doorstep. The ancient stone circle of Long Meg and Her Daughters, dating back to around 1500 BC, is a fascinating place to explore, particularly at sunset when the setting adds to its atmosphere. Close by, Lacy’s Caves, set beside the river, offer an engaging spot for wandering and discovery. The Lake District National Park is also within easy driving distance, opening up a wide choice of scenery, outdoor pursuits and fell walks. Aira Force Waterfall provides a lovely pause along the way, ideal for a picnic between stretches of your walk. For a different perspective, take to the water with a ferry trip across Ullswater, or enjoy a refreshing dip after a day on the trails, keeping an eye out for the varied wildlife that thrives throughout the park. With nearby bays for paddling and swimming, and ever-changing landscapes to admire, opportunities for waterside adventures and scenic exploration are plentiful. Make a memorable retreat to Cumbria with a stay at Plot 34.

The attractive, unspoilt rural village of Armathwaite is ideally placed for exploring the Lake District, Eden Valley and the lovely coastline of the Solway Firth. The village has two old pubs, both with popular restaurants serving excellent food, a village Post Office and a traditional village shop. The River Eden runs through the centre of the village, and the area is renowned for its excellent salmon fishing, plus walking, canoeing and climbing. Armathwaite Castle, by the river, is a four-storey Pele Tower, and the 15th-century church has fine examples of stained glass windows. The Eden Gorge, between Lazonby and Armathwaite, is one of Cumbria's best-kept secrets, and is well worth exploring. The local railway station is a stop on the Settle-to-Carlisle Railway, which is one of the most beautiful railway journeys in Britain, and where today many old steam trains still wend their way through some of the finest countryside in Britain. The Rheged Discovery Centre in Penrith is the "largest grass covered building in the country" or you might like to visit Dalemain Historic House, featured in a television production of Jane Eyre. The town is within reach of the Lake District National Park and the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, providing guests with many mountain biking, hiking, and birdwatching opportunities.
