There are 12 places in Bassenthwaite, a small choice compared with Keswick, which has 56. That means availability can run out quickly for a popular weekend. A six-person place with one bedroom sits at the cheap end, while some two-person lodges cost more than larger ones. Do not assume a smaller lodge is the cheaper option. Check the rate for your dates before you compare sizes.

The Three-Bedroom Holiday home 3 sleeps 6 people. Alongside it is the Two-Bedroom House 4, which sleeps 4 and has 2 bathrooms. Both have a kitchen.
Bassenthwaite sits at the northern end of the Lake District, away from the busier shores around Keswick, and the lodges here suit couples and small families who want a quieter base. Most places sleep three or four with two bedrooms, and a few are built for two. One sleeps up to 10, which makes it the exception for larger groups.
Prices here are on the high side compared with the nearby towns, where the cheapest nights start much lower. Two-person places usually cost less than a night in a two-bedroom lodge, but the gap per person is small. A quarter of the places have a hot tub, a log burner or allow dogs, so you will need to filter for the feature you care about. Guest ratings are very high, at 9.8 out of 10. Winter weeks are a little cheaper than weeks in the rest of the year, though the difference is modest.
Hot tubs, log burners and BBQs each appear in a quarter of the places. Gardens, lake views and fishing are found in about one in six. Places with a hot tub usually cost less per night than those with a log burner, which tend to sit higher. That is partly because the largest lodge has both, plus a lake view. Spa baths and high chairs each appear only once, so families with a baby should check that detail early. If a hot tub matters, you have only a few places to choose from.
| Feature | Places | Share | Usual night |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hot tub | 3 | 25% | £216 |
| Log burner / fireplace | 3 | 25% | £373 |
| BBQ | 3 | 25% | £216 |
| Garden | 2 | 17% | £296 |
| Lake view | 2 | 17% | £296 |
| Fishing | 2 | 17% | £207 |
| Spa bath | 1 | 8% | £216 |
| High chair | 1 | 8% | £198 |
Places for two are the smaller group, with three of them, each with one bedroom. They usually cost less per night than the two-bedroom lodges, but cost more for each person, since the lodge is shared by fewer people. The two-bedroom lodges sleeping three or four make up most of the choice, with seven places. Split between four people, they work out far cheaper per head than a lodge for two. A group of four gets the best value here, while couples pay a premium for privacy.
| Sleeps | Places | Bedrooms | Usual night | Per guest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sleeps 2 | 3 | 1 | £236 | £118 |
| Sleeps 3-4 | 7 | 2 | £301 | £75 |
November is among the cheaper months, and April is similar. December costs more, as does February. March is the dearest month, usually well above November. January sits in the middle, and has the fewest dates still free, so it fills up sooner than you might expect. February and March have the most open dates despite the higher prices. If you want a lower rate, aim for November or April and book a midweek stay.
| Month | Usual night | Nights still free |
|---|---|---|
| November 2026 | £300 | 58% |
| December 2026 | £377 | 51% |
| January 2027 | £328 | 32% |
| February 2027 | £397 | 62% |
| March 2027 | £432 | 62% |
| April 2027 | £312 | 47% |
Several nearby places offer cheaper starting rates. Wigton has five places from a lower price than anywhere else nearby, and Gilcrux and Plumbland are also cheaper. Cockermouth has 14 places and Brigham has six. Keswick has by far the widest choice, with 56 places, but starts at a higher rate than most of the others. If Bassenthwaite is full or dearer than you would like, Cockermouth is the nearest option with a broad choice of budgets.
November is the cheapest of the months shown, with April close behind. March is the dearest. December and February sit in between, so autumn and spring are the better times to look.
Yes, but only one. The largest sleeps 10, with four bedrooms, a hot tub, a log burner and a lake view. Most other places sleep two to four, so large groups should book early.
