WiFi/fibre broadband is available and included.
The kitchen is well equipped with an excellent range of pots, pans and utensils that you might need for your self catering holiday.
Our guests comment that they can always find everything they need and more.
The slow cooker is a favourite - imagine returning from a day´s walking on the fells to the appetising aroma of your evening meal simmering gently away.
The double and twin bedroom are both furnished with wardrobes, shelves and drawers offering plenty of storage space. The double bedroom has a wall mounted smart TV and the twin bedroom has a TV with integral DVD player. The beds will be made ready for your arrival with a feather duvet and crisp, white cotton bed linen.
There is a hair dryer in each room.
We have a cot and high chair available at no extra cost - please ask when booking.
The double bedroom has an ensuite shower room with washbasin and WC. In the family bathroom there is a bath with shower over, washbasin and WC.
A hand and bath towel are provided for each guest. Bath mats are supplied for each bathroom.
The outside decking is fully enclosed, making it secure for your dog, and is furnished with a garden dining table and chairs. There is a parasol for those hot, sunny days. Yes, the sun does shine in the Lake District!
At the back of the Lodge there is another seating area which is the perfect spot to enjoy the last rays of the evening sunshine.
Duke´s Pond is home to a number of moorhens who hatch a brood or two of chicks each spring. Mum will bring them up to the lodge to feed on the bird seed. The red squirrels are regular visitors too, looking for the nuts in the feeder on the decking.
There are stunning views of Blencathra from the site and you can walk in the footsteps of Alfred Wainright across the North Lakes fells which are just a short drive away.
The historic market town of Penrith is 10 miles (20 minutes) where you will find some delightful independant shops, cafés and restaurants in the town centre. On the outskirts there is a choice of supermarkets offering a superb range of supplies for your self catering holiday.
14 miles and just under a 30 minute drive will take you to Keswick, one of the main tourist centres in the Lake District. Keswick has plenty to offer visitors including great shopping, museums and intersting attractions, all amid some spectacular lake and mountain scenery.
Don´t miss a trip to Ullswater, my favourite lake. It will only take you 15 minutes to get to Pooley Bridge at the head of the lake from where you can admire the breathtaking views. While you are heading in that direction, stop off at the waterfalls at Aire Force and make time for a boat trip on the lake with Ullswater ´Steamers´.
Your holiday can be for any length of time but a minimum of 3 nights.
Changeover can be on any day.
If it is peace and quiet you are needing, then look no further - you have found it!
Please send me a message if there is more that you would like to know about "Holmedell".
I look forward to hearing from you and welcoming you to our holiday home which I hope you will love as much as we do.

Holmedell Lodge
By John & Janette on 30-Dec-2025We have had a fabulous few days in this gorgeous lodge. It is so warm and cosy and welcoming, there is nothing you could possibly need as owners thought of everything. Gorgeous location and so peaceful, we loved seeing red squirrels everyday, a real get away from it all, you can´t help but chill. Thank you so much.

By Jane on 18-Jul-2026This is a beautifully clean, well equipped and situated lodge. No squirrels this time but we hope we´ll see them next time. Never known such beautiful weather in the Lakes.

Holmedell Lodge
By Paul on 05-Aug-2026Spent ten nights here and loved every minute of it. Idyllic, peaceful location. Wildlife in abundance, loved the red squirrels, moor hens and rabbits. Lodge superbly equipped, can´t praise highly enough. Also great for walking and managed to do a few hills. Delightful villages within easy driving distance. Would recommend visit to Mill Cafe, Caldbeck. Thank you very much.

By Cath on 17-Aug-2026Fantastic Lodge in such a gorgeous spot. There was everything we needed and more, the thoughtful gift of the wine and beers was really welcoming. Such a nice place to come back to after full days out in the lakes. Seeing red squirrels feeding just topped it all off
