Cedrus Lodge is an eco-friendly, single-storey lodge near Hutton in the Forest, Cumbria. This timber-built retreat uses local larch and sheep's wool insulation to create a genuinely rustic yet warm home. The wraparound decking offers stunning countryside views while you sip your morning coffee or evening wine. Let's be honest - you'll probably spend most of your time out there!

Set in the peaceful Cumbrian countryside, this lodge puts you just 7. 6 miles from Lake Ullswater. The area offers fantastic walking routes through hills and valleys. The enclosed garden gives dogs space to stretch their legs (though they must stay on leads). After a day exploring, nothing beats stripping off and sliding into your wood-fired hot tub.
