Lake District Lodge Holidays

19/10/2026

✨ Imagine sinking into a bubbling hot tub beneath a sky full of stars... ✨

The Lake District offers some of England's most spectacular dark skies, with stunning stargazing spots including Langdale, Whinlatter Forest, Sedbergh and Dalston to name a few. Away from city lights, you'll discover incredible views of constellations, planets and the Milky Way stretching across the night sky.

For an even bigger celestial experience, visit during the Cumbria Dark Skies Festival, running from 23 October to 20 November 2026, with events taking place across the county celebrating our beautiful night skies.

🌌 Book a lodge break, switch off the lights and enjoy nature's greatest show from your own deck.

FRIDAY FEATURE - ️ Did You Know Cumbria Has a City?

Packed with history, sport, shopping and culture, Carlisle makes a fantastic day out from your Northern lodge escape!

🏰 Step back in time at the impressive Carlisle Castle, which has stood proudly for over 900 years and played a key role in defending the English border.

⛪ Discover the beauty of Carlisle Cathedral, home to breath taking architecture and fascinating stories from centuries gone by.

🛍️ Fancy a bit of retail therapy? Browse high street favourites, independent boutiques and plenty of cafés perfect for a well-earned coffee stop.

🏇 Enjoy the thrill of race day at Carlisle Racecourse, one of the UK's most scenic racing venues.

⚽ Football fans can catch a game and soak up the atmosphere at Carlisle United's Brunton Park.

🚶 History lovers can also explore Carlisle's Roman roots, with Hadrian's Wall and fascinating heritage sites just a short distance away.
