About this lodge
Set on the shores of the beautiful Bassenthwaite Lake in the Lake District National Park, this small tranquil park, nestled at the foot of the dramatic Skiddaw mountain range, is the perfect relaxing getaway. Enjoy the lake views, the peaceful surroundings and the extensive birdlife from our homely and cosy lodge.
This spacious lodge offers guests a variety of home comforts, so expect to find comfy beds, modern bathrooms, a cosy fire, a really well-equipped kitchen with a wide range of kitchen equipment and basic larder items, a washer-dryer, fridge freezer and dishwasher.
Bird seed is provided so you can enjoy the birdlife; blankets are too, so you can keep warm on a chilly evening while you star gaze from the deck. There are games, DVDS and an X-Box with a variety of games for those rainy evenings in the lodge.
Guests are welcome to bring kayaks, paddle boards and non-motorised boats to explore the clear lake waters or alternatively you can stick to a swim or paddle!
There are numerous walks to enjoy in the area, ranging from flatter walks round the lake and through the woods to long days out high up on the fells, many of which are easily accessible from the lodge. There are maps and walking books to help you plan your day out.
We allow one well behaved dog for free, additional dogs may be allowed and may be subject to a small fee. Please note we cannot accept cats or large dogs that shed (due to owners allergies). Please contact the owner if unsure.

Great lodge right on the lakeshore with stunning views from the deck across the lake. Very peaceful setting. Perfect for touring the Lake Districk.

Beautiful location with great facilities. The heat wave conditions were challenging at the end of the week but without air conditioning this would be the case anywhere. On site EV charging (7kW) available at 65p/kWh July 2026 or ultrarapid at Booths in Keswick at 95p. Nearest Tesla charger at Rheged near Penrith (open to all.)

Beautifully situated on the edge of Bassenthwaite Lake, Wantandleth lodge was clean and well equipped and the bed was very comfy. Wifi was good and shower was lovely. I just couldn't get the front door to lock with the key at all, so felt quite insecure for the weekend I was there, I could see how it SHOULD lock but it wasn't having it. I was disappointed that I couldn't get down to the lake easily with my walker or mobility scooter as the paths are so gravelly its no good tying to get anything with wheels over them other than the car. Was a lovely view though from the property, very peaceful and quiet with lots of birds and trees around. Although the decor is very dark and dated it was cosy and despite the crazy internal door configuration from bedrooms to bathrooms I would highly recommend this property to anyone with better mobility than myself.
