Also within a short drive you will find the market town of Keswick on Derwentwater just 8 miles away, and the park is just 5 miles from Cockermouth, the birthplace of Wordsworth and Fletcher Christian (author of Mutiny on the Bounty).

Herdwick Croft is within 3 miles of Skiddaw and close to the Northern fell of Binsey, so walkers have a good selection of walks on their doorstep. The North Lakeland fells are renown for the quality and variety of the walks from gentle strolls to epic day adventures!

The property has a river running through it so great for sitting by and relaxing.

Visitors keen on fishing should bring their rods, as we are only 50 yards from the Lake where you can have a go at getting a big catch!

Very nice park in the Lake District at very reasonable prices. Likely to visit again and highly recommend to families

What a lovely site, in a Fab location with friendly staff. Camped in VW van in ‘rally’ field which was peaceful and quiet with great views. Clean, tidy toilet/ shower area

This campsite is in a good position near Bassenthwaite Lake and also a lot of local attractions. There are lots of local amenity from the Wildlife Park to Bassenthwaite Lake Station which is a great cafe/restaurant.

What a fabulous weekend we all had celebrating three special birthdays. Some camping and some in the cabins with hot tubs. Everything was amazing and immaculate.

Wow! What an amazing place. We’ve just stayed for 3 nights in our caravan and it is a beautiful site!
Showers and toilets were clean. We never had to wait to get in and went at different times throughout our stay.

Me and my partner really needed a peaceful break and that’s exactly what we got. The caravan we beautiful and so clean, host was lovely and only short drive to the main town loved every bit of my break away here, will be returning for sure

Had a really lovely time camping with the family. Very clean and tidy and great for dogs!!!! Shower and toilet block clean and not to far to walk

Beautiful!!! The owners have thought of everything. The house is beautifully decorated, Peaceful and really well equipped! Hot tubs are fantastic a real luxury. We will be back .

Absolutely fantastic lodge. It was incredibly clean, a few mins drive to Keswick centre, lots of woodland walks and a lake within a couple minutes walk. Can not fault the place at all! Hot tub felt brand new and so clean. We will be staying here again!

Beautiful house in such a stunning location. Absolutely no expense spared on the refurb of this lovely property, it was worth every penny. Thank you so much to the owners of this gorgeous property for such a memorable trip. We look forward to returning.

Lovely relaxing break. The lodge was very clean and well equipped. Beautiful site with walks straight from the door, would highly recommend

A superb house in a great location. Very spacious and comfortable. Hosts attentive and helpful. We want to go back next year. 10/10.

On arrival at Reception we were greeted by a very nice lady, who told us all about what we needed to know and instructions and tips regarding the hot tub. When we first walked into the Buttermere Lodge I nearly started crying, it was perfect for a birthday surprise I had planned for my partner. It far exceeded my expectations and the photographs do not do the spacious lodge justice. It was immaculately clean and felt like we were the very first guests….it was a thoroughly brilliant weekend to mark a special birthday and we have memories we will never forget. I would very much like to spent more time here, especially in warmer months and I would ask for Buttermere

Herdwick view is situated in an idyllic spot with Skiddaw as a backdrop and Bassenthwaite lake a 5 minute walk. The house itself is stunning , it has recently undergone renovation to a high standard with quality finishes throughout. The layout is practical and family friendly with a ground floor en-suite bedroom for anyone unable to negotiate stairs. The kitchen is well equipped with a great utility room for storage and washing/drying clothes. The garden is superb and the two hot tubs a fabulous addition. The owners are warm, welcoming and attentive, nothing too much trouble. This really is a beautiful place to stay in a stunning location.

Absolutely amazing! Gorgeous lodge with everything you need! Staff were so lovely and helpful! I would definitely recommend and book again!
