Watch Tree Lodge

About this property

Cartmel 0.9 miles. Watch Tree Lodge is a wonderful, single-storey holiday home, offering four guests a fabulous base for adventures across Cumbria and the Lake District. Settled on The Pastures, an esteemed lodge park, on the outskirts of the charming village of Allithwaite and just a mile from the picturesque village of Cartmel, Watch Tree Lodge boasts luxury features including a hot tub, en-suite shower rooms and a bespoke fitted kitchen, accommodating two couples in two plush bedrooms. Make your way inside your beautiful new home, passing through the well-presented utility area that houses the washing machine and tumble dryer, before entering the open-plan living space. Enjoy making your favourite dishes within the exquisite, fully-equipped kitchen with neutral, dark units and fresh timber worktops, home to quality appliances including a gas hob and electric oven, along with two fridges, both with their own iceboxes. Serve up evening meals at the dining table, positioned before a large window to illuminate the space and lit from above by quirky feature lighting, where you can share the best moments of the day over a glass of wine or two. Make yourself comfortable on one of the two sumptuous, grey sofas facing the Smart TV, so you can browse your favourite streaming services and choose the latest release as day rolls into night. Look forward to retiring at the end of the day to one of two fabulous bedrooms, both decorated in the same style, featuring inviting king-size beds, and Smart TVs with a fantastic living flame effect, creating a homely illusion that include sound effects of a roaring fire! Step into the en-suite shower room to find a fully-tiled and sleek washing space, with a rainfall showerhead for added luxury, underfloor heating, and a de-misting mirror. Each bedroom enjoys its own access out onto the rear decking where you can enjoy a relaxing soak in the hot tub, unwinding on the outdoor seating here with a drink afterwards, or make use of the front decking which boasts furniture for alfresco dining, perfect in the summer! This beautiful area is perched on the outskirts of the quaint village of Allithwaite, home to a local shop and a pub, while the village of Cartmel is just a short drive north, considered by many to be the prettiest village in the Lake District; it is home to charming, cobbled streets, traditional pubs, and antique shops. Enjoy a day at Cartmel Racecourse, which hosts around ten fixtures in the year, or head to Simon Rogan’s acclaimed, two-star Michelin restaurant, L'Enclume, for a truly special occasion. Pay a visit to the impressive Holker Hall & Gardens, one of the north's best-known historic houses, available to view via tours and home to a café and find the fascinating Lakeland Motor Museum nearby. Enjoy a day by the sea at the delightful seaside resort of Grange-over-Sands with many attractions to entertain and scenic strolls to take enjoy along the promenade. Make exciting memories on Consiton Water at the Water Park Lakeland Adventure Centre, or head to Lake Windermere for even more water sports, boat rides and lakeside scenery. A scenic drive will bring you to the likes of South Lakes Safari Zoo, Lake Aquarium, the National Trust's Hill Top and Grizedale Forest, home to Go Ape and a plethora of thrilling mountain-biking trails. Explore the Lakes to your heart's content before returning to the superb setting of Watch Tree Lodge.

The historic, South Lakeland village of Cartmel is renowned as the prettiest village in the Lake District. The Priory Church, one of the finest ecclesiastical buildings in the north of England, remains the heart of the community with its gatehouse forming the entrance to the village. The village features pretty streamside walks, quaint cobbled streets littered with antique shops, a charming gift shop, welcoming, traditional pubs serving real ale, the nationally acclaimed, Michelin Star awarded L'Enclume restaurant, and the Cartmel Village shop, which sells the famous sticky toffee pudding. Take advantage of excellent walking opportunities amidst beautiful, unspoilt countryside, visit Cartmel Racecourse, Campbell Legend Bluebird Exhibition, Lakeland Motor Museum and Holker Hall with its spectacular gardens, all of which are close by. The quiet seaside retreat of Grange-over-Sands, with its Edwardian buildings and mountain backdrop, is a mere 2 miles away, whilst Windermere, with its panoramic views over England's longest lake, is within a thirty minute drive.
