About Watch Tree Lodge

Watch Tree Lodge is a luxury single-storey lodge in Allithwaite, Cumbria. This high-end retreat sits on the edge of the Lake District, just a mile from Cartmel and a short drive from Grange-over-Sands. Every inch of this place screams quality - from the sumptuous grey sofas to the multiple Smart TVs.

The surrounding area offers the perfect mix of peace and excitement. You're tucked away in a quiet spot where the only thing disturbing your lie-in might be the occasional bird. Yet you're less than a mile from shops and pubs. Fancy something fancier? L'Enclume restaurant is just down the road in Cartmel - though you'll need to book about a century in advance. Lake Windermere is close enough for day trips without the tourist crowds on your doorstep.

The accommodation features two king-size bedrooms, each with its own Smart TV and en-suite shower room. The open-plan living space has underfloor heating throughout - no cold toes here! The kitchen comes fully equipped with everything from electric oven to two fridges with iceboxes - because one fridge clearly isn't enough for holiday cocktails.

The Lakeland Motor Museum (6 miles, 15 mins) houses an impressive collection of vehicles. South Lakes Safari Zoo (10 miles, 25 mins) makes for a wild day out with the family.

Watch Tree Lodge Reviews

Michael
Watch Tree Lodge was spotlessly clean on arrival and the equipment and comfort first class. This is the best lodge we have stayed in and the lodge site is ideal for exploring the surrounding Lake District. It was nice to relax in the spacious hot tub after a day's sightseeing.
Christopher
Amazing property Stunning and very 5 star! Great hosts, would 100 return
Bethany
We had such a lovely and peaceful holiday in this beautifully presented, cosy and exquisitely clean lodge. Absolutely the relaxing experience we were hoping for, but plenty to do as well. We went on several nice walks round the area and stopped in so many lovely cafs, pubs and small local shops. We finished our trip with a day out at bownessonwindermere which was amazing and we definitely reccomend anyone staying here to visit. Very friendly and welcoming hosts. Couldn't have asked for anything more honestly. Thank you for having us!
Lovely lodge. Very clean Has everything you could want Quiet location Private hot tub Lovely owners
This lodge is one of the best we have stayed in so clean, beautifully decorated, and very peaceful.
We had a lovely 4 night stay at watch tree Lodge and would highly recomend. It was immaculately clean with everything we needed. The hot tub was just perfect after some long days exploring. I am usually not one for booking the same place twice as I like to try new places, but I would absolutley stay here again. Location was great as a base to explore the lake district and in walking distance of Cartmel, with a gorgeous sticky toffee pudding shop and a lovely play park which our 4 year old and secretly i enjoyed. I would recommend booking the local pub the pig and whistle as we struggled to get in without booking the day before.
Lesley
True luxury lodge. Lots of space. Front and back outdoor seating area so you can get more sun. Quiet site we were there on a busy weekend and still very peaceful. Hot tub very clean. Loads of glasses plus plastic for outside use. Had everything g we needed. Lots to see round about including Cartmel with its many pubsrestaurants is a short walk away so we didnt need to use the car all week bonus. If you did want to travel further there are loads of interesting attractions close by so this is the ideal place to totally relax.
Beautiful lodge , nicely decorated , very comfortable with everything you could need in quiet surroundings . Good communication from the owners and lots of information in the lodge, would definitely recommend and would return

The property was more than we were expecting. It was so tastefully furnished, comfortable and exquisitely clean. Everything about Watch Tree felt and looked luxurious. The owners Steve and Jayne provided a warm welcome and were available for support throughout our holiday. We would highly recommend Watch Tree for a break as it offers a tranquil setting in the perfect location for exploring the lake district. Thank you. Joe and Bernie.
Immaculate lodge, with 2 identical bedrooms, ideal for 2 couples. Every facility for an enjoyable holiday, including the hot tub, and all in a peaceful location yet handy for all the Lake's attractions. Many thanks to Steve and Jane, great hosts!
Everything about this property was fantastic. It felt like home rather than holiday accommodation and the decor was stunning. Everything you could possibly need was provided and the beds were so comfortable. The hot tub was the perfect temperature to relax in after a long walk.
Perfect lodge in every way, spotless and clean, everything you need for a relaxing break

What an amazing lodge and hot tub! The owners had thought of everything, the quality of fixtures and furnishings was excellent. Despite the weather, we had a week of pure relaxation, warmth and comfort! A welcome tray with biscuits, tea, coffee and milk was appreciated. Many thanks to Steve and Jayne for their personal touch, especially the birthday card and gift. Highly recommended!

Rating Me and my wife recently had the pleasure of staying at watch tree lodge for our mini moon. nestled in the breathtaking landscapes of the Lake District, and I must say it was an experience that exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, we was captivated by the lodge's charm, warmth, and impeccable service. The interior was tastefully adorned with cozy furnishings, blending seamlessly with the rustic ambiance. Every detail, from the crackling fireplace to the softest linens, was thoughtfully chosen to create a truly luxurious retreat. Steve and Jayne were exceptional, displaying genuine warmth and professionalism throughout our stay. Their knowledge of the area was invaluable, as they provided insightful recommendations for exploring the nearby hiking trails, charming villages, and hidden gems that made out visit truly unforgettable.The lodge's amenities were topnotch, catering to every need and desire. If you're seeking an idyllic escape from the chaos of everyday life, this lodge in the heart of the Lake District is an absolute mustvisit. Its natural beauty, impeccable service, and attention to detail make it an oasis of serenity that will leave you rejuvenated and longing to return. Our stay was truly a 5star experience, and I cannot recommend it enough. We will be booking for 2024.
The last 10 days was our second say this year at Watch Tree, just as the first time, lovely, clean and the most important thing is we felt so much at home. Steve and Jayne, are so nice and friendly , we have booked again for 2024 Jack & Jo
Robert

We loved our stay at Watch Tree Lodge. Its the second time weve stayed and its such a quiet, relaxing lodge in a great location. Steve and Jayne are fabulous hosts thank you for the very thoughtful welcome pack with lots of treats plus milk in the fridge.

WOW, what a fantastic lodge, spotless cosy and comfortable. It is in a lovely peaceful location with plenty of places to visit. Steve and Jayne pop by to welcome you which is a nice touch. would not hesitate to return one day.
This lodge is fantastic and I wouldnt hesitate for a second to recommend it to others. It has an exceptional finish and its very clear how much pride the owners Jayne and Steve have in the property. The locations is brilliant, discreet and peaceful with easy access into the idyllic village of Cartmel. The Lodge is perfectly situated for holiday makers to explore the rest of the Lakes. The hot tub is an added bonus. One of my favourite holidays of all time.
Alison

Steve and Jayne were very welcoming on our arrival. As soon as we entered the lovely lodge we both had the feeling of home, which we think is very important. First class facilities, all well maintained and very clean. We have booked again for later in the year, and fully intend to be back at Watch Tree Lodge in 2024 Jack & Jo
We are a family of four children aged 7 & 5 and had a fabulous stay at this lodge. It was spotlessly clean, so much so we felt like the first people to stay there. Loved the hot tub and all the extra touches that made it feel really comfortable, especially the smart tvs and underfloor heating! The location was also great, lots to do nearby. We loved the Haverthwaite steam train where you could catch a boat to the other villages such as Bowness and Ambleside. Wouldnt hesitate to book this lodge again in the future.
Four nights away for my husbands birthday what a place I chose. From the moment we arrived at this beautiful lodge we knew we would be returning. The open plan lounge is just beautiful the bedrooms spacious and tasteful with ensuite bathrooms to die for. The hot tub whats not to like and totally private. The site is in a lovely spot with countryside all around. Steve and Jayne are the perfect hosts they have thought of everything to make your stay as relaxing as possible. Thank you
To be totally honest without a doubt the best self catering property we have ever stayed inWeve done a few! .. The Lodge has been set up perfectly with so much thought & consideration for its guests & the quality of the fixtures & fittings is outstanding.. Really cant think what the owners could do differently to make the experience any better, we cannot recommend Watch Tree Lodge enough and we will definitely be returning in the future! Thank you for a wonderful holiday Russ, Esther & Francesca
Absolutely beautiful lodge. Has everything you could ask for . Spotlessly clean. Lovely owners very friendly and accommodating been twice already and will definitely be going back very soon.
Absolutely stunning cottage for the perfect getaway. The lodge itself is absolutely beautiful both modern and cosy and is furnished to an extremely high standard. It had absolutely everything we needed from kitchen utensils to blankets to laundry facilities! The hosts were extremely helpful if we ever needed them and they were also really knowledgeable about the surrounding area which was great for us being first timers to The Lake District. The hot tub is located on the rear of the property along with some chairs it was very private from surrounding properties. The surrounding area is also great to visit lots of great walks, pubs, and villages to wander around. The photos don't do it justice of how lovely it truly is. We will absolutely be back thank you for a wonderful weekend.
It is an absolutely lovely lodge, everything was immaculate and we'll thought out. We especially appreciated the fact that it is surrounded by so many trees making it feel very private as you can't immediately see all the other lodges.
