About this property

Set within the wonderful Limefitt Park in the quaint, Cumbrian village of Troutbeck, at the heart of the magnificent Lake District National Park, lies the charming, two-bedroom holiday home of Nutkins Lodge. This property boasts a thoughtful newly refurbished interior with a cute nature theme running throughout. Featuring off-road parking, an enclosed decking with garden furniture that overlooks the tranquil waters of Troutbeck, this delightful property invites a family or group of four, and their well-behaved dog, for a refreshing, self-catered escape in Cumbria. Walk down along a gravelled path towards your new home-from-home and be taken aback by the beauty of your rural setting. Inside, you will be greeted by a well-appointed, open-plan living space, complete with a fully-equipped kitchen where the chosen chef can get to work rustling up a tasty, home-cooked meal, a dining area with ample seating, and a plush sitting area with two sofas and a sleek, wall-mounted Smart TV. When sleep calls, a family bathroom or an en-suite shower room invite you to rejuvenate before you hunker down for a much-needed rest in either an inviting double or twin bedroom. When you're ready, lace up your shoes and set out to explore what your local area has in store. On foot, a brief walk will bring you to an on-site convenience store, where you can stock up on homely essentials, whilst the Haybarn Inn, a pub set within the holiday park, lies just a stone's throw from your new front door, serving up traditional, British grub when you fancy a break from cooking. You'll also find leisure and laundry facilities within Limefitt Park to help make your stay that much more enjoyable. For a day out, make sure you stop by the National Trust landmark of Townend, the scenic viewpoint of Orrest Head, as well as the stunning location of the Holehird Gardens, on your way into the nearby lakeside town of Windermere, where you can soak in scenic views of the eponymous Lake Windermere from Queen Adelaide's Hill, enjoy an afternoon interacting with exhibitions at The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, or even enjoy a journey along the waters onboard a cruise from the Windermere Jetty Museum. Whatever you get up to during your next stay in the Lake District, do it from the base of Nutkins Lodge.

The small Lakeland village of Troutbeck can be found between its more famous neighbours Windermere and Ambleside, close by the Kirkstone Pass. A mixture of houses, cottages and farms, the village is scattered along a narrow lane bordered by a drystone wall. Many of these buildings date back to the 17th Century with features such as mullioned windows and heavy cylindrical chimneys and the northern end boasts its own 17th century inn. Close by, the bustling towns of Windermere and Ambleside are popular with visitors, providing a range of amenities to suit all tastes. Lake Windermere offers boat trips, including the lakeside ferry to the Lakeside Aquarium and Grizedale Forest Park. The ‘Windermere Steamboat Museum’ displays a fascinating collection of boats whilst children will enjoy the ‘World of Beatrix Potter’ in Bowness, where technology brings her characters to life. Within easy reach of destinations such as Coniston Water, Kendal, Keswick and the Lakeland Mountains, Troutbeck is ideally situated for exploring all that the region has to offer.

    In my opinion, one of the best positioning on the site but suppose that's a personal preference to what your after. The small garden and the large decking area were perfect, even though we stayed in October we still manage to sit out and listen to the river flow. It had everything we required for our stay, and the personal welcome pack and dog treats were a lovely added touch. Everything was immaculate, could not fault a thing!! Myself, husband, daughter and dog all had a lovely stay and will be back again in the future! THANK YOU
