Our lodges and cabins in the Lake District
The range runs from one-bedroom cabins for couples to large houses for big groups. Most stays sit in the middle, sleeping between three and six people with two or three bedrooms. Hot tubs are found at well over half of them, and a log burner at about half. If you travel with a dog, check the pet policy before you choose, since a few places only take pets on request. Cheaper nights tend to be in the western towns and for smaller cabins, while lakeside areas cost more.

The cabin sits in woodland beside Blelham Tarn, with the water at 0 yards from the door. From the garden and the decking you look out to a mountain view.
The Lake District has lodges by Windermere and Ullswater, timber cabins near Keswick and Coniston, and cottages in the quieter western valleys.
The Lake District is a place where the choice of stay changes a lot from one valley to the next. Around Windermere and Bowness the lodges are plentiful and dearer, while the western side, around Cockermouth and Millom, is noticeably cheaper than the region as a whole. Keswick and Penrith sit in between, with more modest prices and a good number of hot tubs.
Most places suit small groups. The typical lodge sleeps about six, and a hot tub is common, with more than half the stays offering one. Half have a log burner, and around two thirds accept dogs, which matters for walking breaks. Saunas and swimming pools are rare. Guests rate the stays well, at around 9 out of 10. At the other end, some places sleep nearly 50, so large family gatherings are possible, though they cost far more than a standard cabin.
Where to stay in the Lake District
Windermere has by far the most places, with 153, and its usual price is close to the region as a whole. Bowness-on-Windermere is dearer, and Ambleside and Ulverston are dearer still. Kendal looks the most expensive of all, though the stays there are few and include some large houses. For lower prices, look at Millom and Cockermouth, or Penrith and Keswick. Coniston stands out for hot tubs, with almost every stay having one, and Ulverston and Penrith also have a high share.

Features
A garden is the most common feature, found at nearly four stays in five. Hot tubs come next, then log burners. Stays with fishing or a high chair are usually dearer, which suggests larger or lakeside properties. Cabins with a BBQ, swimming pool or sauna usually cost less than the average night in the region. A sauna is the rarest feature of the lot, so if you want one, filter for it early and keep your dates flexible.

By number of guests
Cabins for two are the cheapest in total, but per person they cost the most of the smaller sizes. Sleeping five or six gives the lowest cost per person, with three bedrooms at a moderate total price. The very large houses for 20 or more are the dearest by a wide margin. If you are a group of six, a stay for five or six is better value than splitting into two small cabins.
Usual nightly prices rise steadily from November through to April. November is the cheapest month shown, and each later month costs a little more, with February and March at the same level. Availability follows the same pattern: fewer dates are free in the early winter months, and more are open by spring. If you want a lower price, a midweek break in November or December is the cheaper option, though you will have fewer dates to choose from.

All towns in the Lake District
Towns differ in more than price. Those around Windermere give easy access to the lake, boat trips and restaurants, but they are busier. Keswick suits walkers who want fells and a market town close by. Cockermouth and Bassenthwaite are quieter and easier on the budget. Before booking, check how far the cabin is from the nearest shop or pub, as some rural stays need a car for everything. Winter roads on higher passes can be slow, so allow extra time.
Which part of the Lake District is cheapest for a lodge?
Millom and Cockermouth usually cost the least, well below the regional level. Penrith and Keswick are also cheaper than the Windermere area. Bowness-on-Windermere, Ambleside and Ulverston are among the dearer places.
Which towns have the most hot tub stays?
Coniston has the highest share, with almost every stay having a hot tub. Ulverston, Penrith, Bowness-on-Windermere and Kendal also have a high share. Keswick and Cockermouth have fewer.
Is a larger group cheaper per person?
Not always. Stays for five or six people give the lowest cost per person. Larger houses for ten or more cost more per person, and the biggest ones cost the most.

Yes. Usual nightly prices are lowest in November and rise month by month towards April. More dates are free in spring than in early winter.
