  • "We go to the Lakes a lot, and always around bonfire night to get our dogs away from all the madness."

    We have always stayed in cottages, so this was our first time in a lodge. I have to say this is the best accommodation we've ever stayed at, and I'd always look fo book a lodge first in future. It really did feel like a home from home and because there are only a small number of lodges it feels really private. The beds and bedding are top hotel quality, absolutely gorgeous. Everything worked like a dream and it was equipped to the best standard, you really couldn't ask for more. Really cosy and the wood burner was really efficient and we didn't use as much wood as we do back home. It's really spacious and the pictures just don't do it justice, we absolutely loved everything about this lodge. Some kind of bucket or something would be helpful to clean muddy paws, but we cobbled something together to make it work. Definitely get a supermarket delivery if you can, there were a number of deliveries around us while we were there. Access is really easy. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this gorgeous lodge to anyone and we'd definitely come again. Thank you for letting us stay in your gorgeous home from home.

    Thanks for the lovely review Sandra:-) Good idea about the bucket, I’ll buy one! Property Owner

    Lovely lodge, great location, only slight niggle some of the window catches could do with adjustment, and the handles on a couple of the blinds missing, other wise an excellent lodge

    Thanks for the great feedback Bill, I’ll get the window catches looked at, the missing blinds were being fixed so all good now. Property Owner

  • "The lodge is fully equipped, very clean and in a beautiful location."

    Ideal for walking to Grizedale or down to the lake. It's about a 15 minute walk to Hawkshead village too, local shops and a few pubs. Will definitely book again.

    It was very clean and had everything we needed. The location was perfect as we could do a number of walks from the door - really nice not to have to drive anywhere. It was lovely to come back to somewhere so comfortable and warm afterwards.

The property

Hawkshead 0.9 miles.

Settled in the tranquil landscape of Hawkshead, Cumbria, Rivendell Lodge is a contemporary wooden lodge situated in a prime location for exploring the Lake District with your friends and family.

Park off-road and make your way up the wooden steps, first being met with three bedrooms as you enter the property, beginning with a king-size with a Smart TV and a contemporary en-suite.

There is also the option of a homely double, also with a TV, and a twin, ideal for children both serviced by a lovely bathroom with tasteful grey tiles, great for relaxing amongst the bubbles after a long day of exploring the local area.

The sitting area is simply fantastic, with numerous floor-to-ceiling windows and patio doors allowing in ample light to create an airy ambience.

Stylish furniture can be seen throughout, along with a well-fitted kitchen ideal for cooking up a storm, enjoy the fruits of your labour at the dining table with views of the surrounding park before settling down on the leather sofas with a glass of your favourite beverage.

Savour the last of the evening on the decking, reachable via the patio doors, and take in the fresh air, whilst a wooden gate encloses this space, allowing your four-legged family member to relax beside you.

Rivendell Lodge rests beside Esthwaite Water and the property has great views of this from the living room and the decking, an ideal spot for a scenic walk amongst the wildlife, and a little further from the property you will be able to stock up on essentials or enjoy a family meal out in the heart of Hawkshead village.

Hawkshead houses an array of picturesque 17th century houses, and was once home to several famous residents, including William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter.

The history of the town can be further explored at the National Trust Beatrix Potter Gallery.
