Benefit from off-road parking before making your way indoors, to be welcomed by the open-plan living area. Use this space to relax after a day of fell walking, to prepare delicious meals, and to dine, with the woodburning stove roaring in the backdrop. If the weather allows it, head outdoors to take in your serene setting, ready to dine alfresco upon the patio, before retiring indoors to catch some rest from the plush double bed.

A traditional Cumbrian market town with a charter granted in 1262, which still holds a market each Friday in the covered market hall, along with an open air car boot sale. Wigton is a popular centre for shopping, pubs and restaurants, and also boasts a theatre, bowls, swimming, tennis and other sports. Lord Melvyn Bragg was a native of Wigton, and used the town (called Thurston in some of his writings) and the surrounding area as the setting for his novels including ‘A Time to Dance’. Located 18 miles from Penrith it is a good base for the attractions of the North Lakes, the cathedral city of Carlisle, 12 miles away, Keswick, just north Derwentwater and close to Lake Bassenthwaite, and the natural beauty of the West Cumbrian Coast. Hadrian’s Wall is within 25 miles, while the Scottish Borders, and Gretna Green, are within easy reach.

..The lodge is equipped with everything you need should you wish to self cater, you also have the luxury of a recliner sofa...A fabulously comfy bed with a top notch duvet and pillows and a shower which you don't want to get out of and of course spotlessly clean throughout...I would definitely be up for a return visit...

The cottage was very well decorated and exceptionally clean and cosy and was just what we were looking for! The cottage itself is located in a very quiet location and peace and quiet was what we were looking for!! The reclining sofas and log burner were absolute bliss after a days walking round the incredible lakes ! We will be returning in the New Year.
