Twelve places is a small choice, so availability matters more than filters. The average place sleeps about four, but that figure is pulled up by a handful of bigger lodges. Most are one-bedroom lodges for two. If you are travelling as a family or a group of six or eight, you will have only a few options and they go quickly. The cheapest night found is well below the usual price, which suggests off-peak dates are worth checking. Three out of four places accept pets, though some only on request, so ask before you book.

Penruddock is a small Cumbrian village on the northern edge of the Lake District, close to Penrith and not far from Keswick and Ullswater. Most of the stays here are built for couples, and the hot tub is close to standard: 10 of the 12 places have one. Gardens come with every place.
Prices sit in a fairly narrow band for a short break, with most two-person lodges with a hot tub costing much the same per night. A few larger places for six or eight guests cost far more, and the biggest, with four bedrooms, is dearer by a wide margin. Cheaper nights do turn up, but they are the exception. Dogs are accepted at three places in four, which suits walkers. Log burners are rare, found at only one place in about twelve, and saunas and pools are just as scarce. Guests rate the stays highly, at around 8.8 out of 10.
Every place has a garden, and 10 of the 12 have a hot tub. Places with a hot tub cost about the same as the typical night here, so the tub is not a large extra in Penruddock. Saunas and swimming pools appear at only two places, and these are usually cheaper than the typical night. A private pool and a log burner are each found at a single place, and the log burner one is the dearest of the features listed. If a fire matters for winter evenings, you have almost no choice, so book early. A high chair is available at three places, which helps if you are bringing a baby.
| Feature | Places | Share | Usual night |
|---|---|---|---|
| Garden | 12 | 100% | £218 |
| Hot tub | 10 | 83% | £221 |
| High chair | 3 | 25% | £251 |
| Sauna | 2 | 17% | £168 |
| Swimming pool | 2 | 17% | £168 |
| Private pool | 1 | 8% | £251 |
| Log burner / fireplace | 1 | 8% | £295 |
| BBQ | 1 | 8% | £130 |
Split per person, that works out at around half the nightly price, so couples get the best value here. Larger lodges for six or eight guests are fewer and cost more per night, though shared between a group the cost per head can come out lower. The largest place sleeps eight across four bedrooms. If you are a group, check the dates first, because with so few big lodges, a single booking can close off a whole weekend.
| Sleeps | Places | Bedrooms | Usual night | Per guest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sleeps 2 | 8 | 1 | £216 | £108 |
Usual nightly prices barely move from November to March. November and December sit at the higher end of that range, and January to March are slightly cheaper. April is the dearest month shown, a clear step up as spring and the Easter period approach. Availability tells its own story. November has the fewest free dates, while January has the most, so the quietest and cheapest weeks fall in the new year. For a last-minute break, midwinter gives you the widest choice at the lowest usual price.
| Month | Usual night | Nights still free |
|---|---|---|
| November 2026 | £221 | 26% |
| December 2026 | £221 | 37% |
| January 2027 | £212 | 52% |
| February 2027 | £212 | 45% |
| March 2027 | £212 | 44% |
| April 2027 | £251 | 50% |

Only in a limited way. Most places sleep two, and the biggest sleeps eight across four bedrooms. There are a few lodges for six, and these tend to have a hot tub and accept dogs. Book early if you need space for a group.
Rarely. Only one place in about twelve has a log burner or fireplace. Hot tubs are far more common, so if you want a fire as well, check the features before booking.
