Holiday parks made for memorable stays

Our three holiday parks in the area each bring something special. Keswick Reach Lodge Retreat blends contemporary luxury with spectacular views, offering stylish lodges, an on-site restaurant and spa, and a peaceful setting that feels like a true retreat. Bassenthwaite Lakeside Lodges sit right by the water, giving you direct access to the lakeshore and stunning views across to Skiddaw, ideal for couples and families who want nature on their doorstep. Herdwick Croft offers a more intimate countryside feel, with modern lodges set among rolling farmland and easy access to both Bassenthwaite Lake and Keswick. With space for the kids to play, room for the dog to roam at selected parks and everything designed for relaxed, easy-going breaks, our holiday parks and lodges in Bassenthwaite make it simple to switch off and enjoy the Lake District at its best. With our wide range of hot tub breaks in the Lake District, and plenty of Lake District dog-friendly lodges to enjoy, you're just a step away from your ideal Cumbrian holiday.
