Brackenrigg Lodge - Brackenrigg Lodge

View from the lodge, with every season comes a wonderful change.

“It doesn’t get much better than this”

Welcome to Brackenrigg Lodge

Nestling on the shores of Bassenthwaite Lake at the foot of the dramatic Skiddaw Mountain. Boasting breath-taking views and bursting with opportunities for outdoor adventure, this idyllic setting is perfect for getting back to nature in one of the Lake District’s most unspoilt beauty spots. A SSSI – Site of Special Scientific Interest.

Bassenthwaite Lake – the only true lake in the national park.

In season you have direct access to Bassenthwaite Lake from the jetty, just a two-minute stroll down the park from the lodge, explore the lake’s rich heritage of birdlife, fish, shoreside flora and fauna. If you are lucky glimpse the Osprey catching dinner for its young.

You can enjoy swimming in the lake or if you have the equipment feel free to bring it with you and sail, kayak, canoe or paddle board they are all welcome (however motorised vessels are prohibited on the lake). Please follow the Rules for the Lake.

Escape the hustle of a busy life

The lodge sleeps six people and is made up of one double and two twin bedrooms, one shower room with toilet and washbowl and a second toilet with washbowl. It comes fully equipped with everything you need for a fantastic break.

Pets

We welcome up to two well behaved pets at the lodge. We have feeding bowls, water bowls and drying towels ready and waiting for them. We do charge £2 per night per pet and they are not allowed on the furniture or through to the bathroom/bedroom area. Following their walks we do ask you please dry them off and clean any dirty paws. Thank you.

Watch the birds and squirrels feeding, some evenings the Barn Owl comes for his dinner in the dog walking field.
