4-star holiday home a short walk from the lakeside in High Nibthwaite
Accommodation
Ransome Lodge offers a two-bedroom holiday home with two full bathrooms, accommodating groups or couples. Each unit includes a private entrance and a balcony that runs around the building, allowing guests to open the entire space for airflow. The main bed received a 10/10 guest rating for comfort, with one guest reporting they tried to buy the same bed for home.
Amenities
The holiday home has a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, a TV, and a shower. Free WiFi is included, and the property provides paid on-site private parking. Safety equipment includes fire extinguishers and smoke alarms.
Outdoor Space
A garden is available for guest relaxation, set within a sheltered area of trees. The location, near the lake but under tree cover, was described by a guest as idyllic. Despite a heatwave, the balcony and airflow kept the space comfortable and surprisingly free of insects.
Location
The lodge is a short walk from the lakeside and within 8 km of Coniston Water and 16 km of Grizedale Forest. Lake Windermere is 23 km away, the World of Beatrix Potter 27 km, and Muncaster Castle 46 km. Guests noted the lack of a nearby supermarket, so food provisioning is best done before arrival.

Location: Short walk from the lakeside, 8 km to Coniston Water
Rooms: Two-bedroom holiday home with a balcony around the building
Amenities: Fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, free WiFi
Parking: Paid on-site private parking available
