Chalet holiday rentals in Cumbria

The property is a hexagonal wooden cabin, tucked away in a secluded spot convenient for birdwatchers (RSPB reserves and WWT Caerlaverock are nearby), dog-walking at the fantastic Sandy Hills beach and hiking along the coast. Nonetheless it is only half an hour's drive from Dumfries and/or Castle Douglas. The lodge has lovely views down to the Solway Firth across to the Cumbrian Hills and beautiful night skies. We stayed between Christmas and New Year, when we experienced wild and wet weather as well as deep frosts, but the cabin was always warm and cosy. The open plan kitchen/living area was greatly appreciated, as were the two bathrooms. This was a lived-in but very comfortable space. We all felt at home here, including the dog.

we had a lovely stay at the lodge. it was safe for my kids to play as the outside area is enclosed, and the fence gives privacy when in the hot tub. there was an issue outside the hosts control but they were extremely proactive in resolving it. they were very responsive when contacted and really pleasant to deal with.

Exactly what wee were looking for in a last minute weekend away. Peaceful setting but only a few minutes from Lancaster and the motorway. On arrival everything was ready for us to drive in, drop our bags off and put our feet up. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting access to the lake district without costing a fortune and being caught up in the traffic. Will use again, if available, for our next visit.

What a lovely place! There were 7 of us staying here in total and each of us said what a fabulous place it is, the pictures don’t do it justice! Rooms are spacious and clean, the kitchen/living area was open plan and sociable and the setting was beautiful. We spent one afternoon in and around the hot tub overlooking the garden and scenery with the sun on us all day and it was the perfect place to completely relax and unwind. We also got a taxi into Durham city centre which was only £12 in total so not far at all but you feel like you’re way out in the countryside. Kaye was also a great host and very responsive to any questions in the lead up to our stay. Overall, a 5 star experience. Thank You! x

Lovely cabin, lovely setting within a beautiful park, lovely little walk aroun the lake. Very dog friendly park which was lovey. Very nice hottub. Had everything you might need! Lots of things to do nearby if you have a car, and right next to the zoo.

Beautiful location, very warm welcome from Jenna. Communication was fantastic from booking to leaving with really useful local info provided - highly recommend Sunday dinner at The Derwent Arms Fantastic breakfast too with local produce - lovely stay!

One of the best Airbnb accommodations we've stayed in. The lodge was exactly as described (the third bedroom was smaller than we'd expected but I think that's more because we hadn't paid much attention to it), if not better than described (the shower was spacious). Everything was there as we needed it, we appreciated having working utensils in the kitchen (not always the case). The view from upstairs was amazing, much enjoyed from the sitting area upstairs. Julian was a responsive, kind host, as were Ainsley and Steve, our local point of contact (next door). We even had a delicious welcome pack. We had an amazing week exploring the area. Julian's idea of asking people to write down recommendations of places to visit in the visitor's book is an excellent one. Thank you for opening your home to us.

One of if not the best lodge I’ve stayed in, it is so big and all rooms are lovely. Very big living room with wifi too. Will be coming back

Absolutely lovely lodge! It was so quiet and remote but also close to the shops/takeaways; so fantastic location. The lodge was spotlessly clean and I honestly can’t recommend it enough. Will definitely be staying again in the future!!

Great location and place to stay

was very well situated on the lake with lots of nature. when arriving in the dark there was no lights or signage to direct you to the property. But very lovely property and park. Lake Windere is such a Stunning part of the world . Will be visiting again .

Our second stay here as a family group of 5 and 1 dog. Beautiful views, peaceful surroundings couldn’t fault it. Comfortably furnished and a lovely balcony to enjoy the scenery from

Amazing lodge in a perfect location. Had the best stay for my friends 30th birthday celebrations. Close to Ambleside and Windermere so great for day trips/lake cruises/etc. Would recommend.

Really bright airy chalet, but surprisingly warm and cozy. Fab views over the fields to Criffel and just a stones throw from the shore. Nights filled with the call of Curlews and a sky full of stars. Well placed for walks along the beautiful Solway firth, over hills and through woodland.

We had a lovely couple of nights in this very spacious but cosy lodge. It is very close to the beach which is perfect for walking the dogs and 5 minute walk to the pub - perfect!

Lovely location, kind and friendly host, spacious yet cosy and pleasant cabin. Really enjoyed my stay - beautiful view, right on the beach, lovely long walks. Cabin was clean, warm, and comfortable, utilities worked well, great shower. Birds and bunnies to watch in the morning, a very peaceful space.
