Fir Tree Lodge, Fir Tree Lodge Buck Yeats North Lakeside, Ulverston

Fir Tree Lodge sits right at the water's edge in Lakeside, Lake District. This cosy two-bedroom retreat offers spectacular views across Lake Windermere from your private hot tub. The lodge combines practical comfort with an unbeatable location. Want to wake up to misty lake views without the tourist crowds? This is your spot.

The grounds are something special. A spacious shared garden features multiple patios, a massive lawn for games and a children's play area. Garden furniture, games and even a fire pit make outdoor living easy. Wildlife visitors include a friendly peacock who might pop by for breakfast. Just watch out for that unfenced rock pool if you've got little ones.

Inside, you'll find two bedrooms (one double, one twin) and a contemporary bathroom with underfloor heating. The open-plan kitchen/diner comes fully equipped with all essentials including a Nespresso machine for your morning caffeine fix. The sitting room features a wood-burning stove - perfect for those nights when you've had one too many at the local pub and need to warm your arse up.

Windermere Lake Cruises is just 0.3 miles away, offering spectacular sails to Bowness or Ambleside. Visit the Aquarium of the Lakes to see otters, or hop on the Furness Steam Railway. Beatrix Potter's home is only 6 miles away and Wordsworth's School sits 8 miles from your door.
