Most lodges here are small or medium. The typical place sleeps between four and five people, and one or two bedrooms is the usual layout. A handful are much bigger and can take a large group, up to 20 guests. A winter week costs a little less than a week outside winter, but the gap is small. If you plan to stay a full week, expect a cost well above a short break, so a long weekend or midweek stay is the easier way to keep the budget down.

This place is a detached house on the outskirts of Carlisle in Cumbria, with a garden, a terrace with decking and outdoor play equipment for children.
Carlisle sits close to the Scottish border, with the northern Lakes and the Solway coast both within reach, and the lodges here are mostly built around a private hot tub. Three in four have one, and about three quarters accept dogs, so the stays suit couples, families and groups with a pet who want a base a little way from the city centre.
Prices vary a lot from one place to the next. A night usually costs a fair amount, and the cheapest nights found are well below that, while a few larger or fishing-focused lodges sit far above it. Most places sleep three or four, though the biggest takes 20 guests. Half have a log burner, which matters in the colder months. Guest ratings are high, around 9.2 out of 10, so the quality is fairly even across the board.
Gardens are common too, at around two thirds of places. Half the lodges have a log burner, and these cost about the same as the usual night. Fishing lodges are the dearest group by some distance. Lake view places are rarer but cost less than average. Saunas and barbecues are only at a few places each, so check before you book if either matters to you.
| Feature | Places | Share | Usual night |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hot tub | 25 | 74% | £254 |
| Garden | 22 | 65% | £306 |
| Log burner / fireplace | 17 | 50% | £210 |
| High chair | 14 | 41% | £222 |
| Fishing | 10 | 29% | £446 |
| Sauna | 4 | 12% | £306 |
| BBQ | 4 | 12% | £203 |
| Children's play area | 1 | 3% | £135 |
Lodges for two are the dearest per person, since a hot tub or sauna often comes with them. Places sleeping three or four are the most numerous and usually cost less a night than the two-person lodges, which makes them good value if you can fill them. If you are travelling as a couple on a budget, a small two-bedroom lodge can be cheaper than a luxury one for two.
| Sleeps | Places | Bedrooms | Usual night | Per guest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sleeps 2 | 11 | 1 | £291 | £146 |
| Sleeps 3-4 | 15 | 2 | £191 | £48 |
| Sleeps 5-6 | 5 | 3 | £251 | £42 |
Nights are cheapest in December and November, then climb steadily through the new year. January and February are dearer, March is dearer again, and April is the most expensive month in this run. Availability is tighter in November and December, when fewer dates remain free, and looser in February. For the lowest price, aim for early winter. For the most choice of dates, late winter is easier.
| Month | Usual night | Nights still free |
|---|---|---|
| November 2026 | £234 | 47% |
| December 2026 | £211 | 50% |
| January 2027 | £260 | 68% |
| February 2027 | £262 | 71% |
| March 2027 | £281 | 67% |

Several smaller places nearby offer different budgets. Westward and Brampton have the most choice, with a good number of lodges and lower starting prices. Wigton and Annan are smaller, with only a few places each, but include some of the cheapest nights. Longtown has a fair number of lodges. Castle Carrock has fewer places and starts dearer. If Carlisle itself is full or costly on your dates, these nearby villages are worth comparing.

About half do. They are common in the two-bedroom lodges for four guests, and many of those also take dogs. Check the listing, as some hot tub lodges have one and others do not.
Most sleep three or four, and these are the best match for families or two couples. There are fewer places for five or six guests. Larger groups can find a handful of bigger lodges, the biggest sleeping 20.
