The best places right now

Choice is wide, so it helps to decide first what matters most. Cockermouth and Haverigg have two-bedroom lodges with a log burner at a moderate nightly rate. Bassenthwaite has a lake view and a hot tub, and costs more. Windermere has a lodge with a hot tub, sauna and pool access at a lower usual rate than many lodges nearby. Several larger lodges for eight, around Pooley Bridge and Holmrook, are among the cheaper options for groups. Where dogs are allowed on request rather than listed as dog friendly, ask the owner about numbers and size limits.

Dogs are welcome at every one of these lodges, which makes the Lake District an easy region to plan around if you travel with a pet. The fells, shoreline paths and woodland around Keswick, Coniston and Windermere all suit long walks, and most places have a garden for the evenings.

Prices vary widely depending on the town. Cockermouth, Millom and Plumbland are cheaper than the main lake towns, while Ambleside and Bowness-on-Windermere are clearly dearer. Most lodges sleep four to six, with 3-4 guests the most common size. A hot tub comes with about a third of them, and a log burner with slightly more. Some places accept dogs only on request, so it is worth checking the terms before you book. A winter week is cheaper than a week in the rest of the year.

Where are they?

Windermere has the most lodges by far, with 65, and usual prices there are well above the Keswick figure. Keswick has 28 and is cheaper, which suits walkers who want the northern fells. Ambleside and Bowness-on-Windermere are the dearest towns listed. For lower prices, look at Millom, Cockermouth and Plumbland, which are all cheaper than the lake towns. Hot tubs are common in Coniston, Bowness-on-Windermere and Penruddock, and absent in Millom. Troutbeck and Coniston sit in the middle on price.

Features

A garden is the most common feature, with about three lodges in four having one, which matters when you have a dog to let out. A log burner is listed at 37% of lodges, and a hot tub at 31%. Lodges with a high chair are dearer than most, which suggests larger family places. Pools, saunas and barbecues are found at fewer lodges, and these are cheaper than lodges with a hot tub or a log burner. Fishing is listed at about a third of places, usually in the dearer bracket.

By number of guests

Lodges for 3-4 guests are the most numerous, with 93 listed, and they usually have two bedrooms. Sleeps 2 is dearest per person, since the cost is shared between fewer people. Lodges for 5-6 guests and those for 10-11 give the lowest cost per person. Sleeps 7-9 is dearer per person than 5-6, but works for groups with several dogs. Only a handful of lodges sleep 10 or more, so book those early.

Prices month by month

January is the cheapest month shown, and April the dearest. Prices rise through February and March and reach their highest point in April, when the Easter holidays fall. November and December are in between. Availability is tightest in November and December, with fewer lodges free than in spring, so a winter break needs booking ahead. If you want a bargain, January offers the lowest prices and a good number of free lodges.
