Close to the Lake District National Park and just a short walk from the village of Aspatria, these stylish lodges have stunning views across the Northern Fells and the Scottish Hills. They overlook a pretty woodland lake, surrounded by beautiful Cumbrian countryside and there's a pub and a restaurant within walking distance.

With fishing, golf, bike hire and some wonderful walks through secluded woodland right on the doorstep, the park is within easy travelling distance of Carlisle. For some delicious food in an AA-recognised restaurant, head to Overwater Hall a few miles away in Cumbria - but remember to book first!

Lawson lodge sleeps four people and has a flat screen TV with Freeview and DVD, as well as a private patio with hot tub.

The Lake District has beautiful countryside, stunning clifftop walks and long sandy beaches as well as some delightful villages like the market town of Keswick - and Kippford, a popular sailing centre.
