Our lodges and cabins in Cumbria
The choice here is large and the range of budgets is wide. Small cabins for two in places like Keswick, Carlisle and Bootle sit well below the county's usual nightly price. Larger lodges near the lakes cost far more. Most places sleep four to six, but a few sleep dozens, which suits big family gatherings. If you are booking at short notice, compare a lakeside base with somewhere on the Solway coast or near Wigton, where the same size of lodge often costs much less.

Cumbria covers the Lake District and its quieter neighbours: the Eden Valley, the Solway coast and the edge of the North Pennines.
Cumbria suits people who want fells, lakes and a hot tub within a short drive of each other. The Lake District pulls most of the demand, but the Eden Valley, the Solway coast and the towns around Carlisle give you quieter ground and usually lower prices. Stays here are mostly built around groups and families, with an average capacity of 6 guests.
Hot tubs are common: about two thirds of the places have one, so you do not have to pay a large premium to get one. Around 65% accept pets, and about half have a log burner, which matters from autumn to spring. Saunas are rare, at about 8%. Prices vary widely by town. Windermere, Bowness, Ambleside and Kendal sit at the dearer end, while Westward, Millom and Keswick are noticeably cheaper than the county as a whole. Guests rate the places around 8.9 out of 10.
Where to stay in Cumbria
Windermere has the most places by a distance, and its usual price is above the county's. Bowness-on-Windermere, Ambleside and Kendal are dearer again. Keswick, Penrith and Carlisle are cheaper, and Penrith and Carlisle have a high share of hot tubs. Westward and Millom are the cheapest towns in the list, though only Westward has a hot tub at nearly every place. Coniston and Ulverston have hot tubs at almost every lodge, but Ulverston is among the dearer towns, so check the sleeping capacity before comparing prices.

Features
Gardens are the most common feature, at four in five places, followed by hot tubs and log burners. Log burners and high chairs push it up a bit. Fishing places are much dearer than the rest, which reflects their lakeside or estate settings. BBQs and swimming pools are found at cheaper places. Saunas are rare, and their usual price matches the county as a whole, so they are worth seeking out if you want one.

By number of guests
Cabins for two cost more per person than any other group size, since the price is spread over fewer people. The best value per person comes with places for five to six guests, closely followed by those for three to four and for fifteen to nineteen. If you are a group of eight or so, compare one large lodge against two smaller ones, as the per-person cost is similar in the middle ranges.
Usual prices rise steadily from November through to April. November is the cheapest month and December is only a little dearer. January costs more, and February and March are level with each other. April is the dearest of the six months. Availability moves the other way: fewer places are free in November and December, and more open up from January onwards. For the cheapest stay, aim for early winter midweek, but book sooner as these dates fill first.

All towns in Cumbria
Cumbria's towns fall into a few groups. The central Lakes, including Windermere, Ambleside and Coniston, offer walking and water on the doorstep and cost more. Keswick and the north-west give you fells and a lively town at a lower price. Penrith and the Eden Valley are good for a quieter break with a hot tub. Carlisle and the Solway coast are the cheapest areas. Check the drive time between your lodge and the places you want to visit, as the roads through the fells can be slow.
Which part of Cumbria is cheapest for a lodge break?
Westward, Millom, Carlisle and Keswick are cheaper than the county's usual price. Westward also has a hot tub at almost every place. The dearest areas are around Windermere, Ambleside and Kendal.
Are lodges with log burners common in Cumbria?
About half of the places have a log burner or fireplace. They usually cost a little more than the county's usual price. They are worth looking for between autumn and spring.
Is a lodge for two cheaper per person than a bigger one?
No. Places for two cost more per person than places for four to six. The group-size table shows that the middle sizes give the lowest cost per person.
Is it cheaper to go in winter?
Usually yes. November is the cheapest month and prices rise gradually towards April. A week in winter costs slightly less than a week outside winter, so the saving is modest.
