Calthwaite Hall Retreat

Holiday park in Calthwaite with private hot tubs and free-roaming peacocks

Amenities & Security

Calthwaite Hall Lodges provides a private hot tub for each accommodation, maintained daily for cleanliness and controlled via an app for lighting. The site operates security gates with fob entry, restricting access to residents only. Some lodges include a kitchen with a dishwasher, oven, and microwave for self-catering.

Lodges & Pods

Brackenburgh Lodge offers two bathrooms, a large living area, and direct views of the fields and ponies. Aspen Lodge includes a hot tub with a canopy and color-changing lights, plus a TV with Netflix. Micro pods like Swallows Nook provide compact living with a kitchenette and a private hot tub that overlooks horse fields and distant fells.

On-Site Dining

Nosh Bar & Restaurant, set in a glass orangery, serves meals such as Sunday roast, homemade pie, and seafood platter with a selection of wines and local lagers. The Globe Inn across the road offers dog-friendly dining with dishes like fish and chips and lasagne. Both venues are praised for their food quality and are open to lodge guests and locals.

Location

The park sits in Calthwaite, 7 miles from Penrith and 12 miles from Carlisle, with the M6 motorway easily accessible. It lies 13 miles from Askham Hall, 22 miles from Derwentwater, and 14 miles from Whinfell Forest. Guests need a car as there is no local shop within walking distance, and the area offers access to the Lake District and Lowther Castle.

Wildlife & Grounds

Free-roaming peacocks, including white and blue varieties, wander the site and often visit lodges. Falabella ponies and horses graze in adjacent fields, and two black swans live on the estate pond. Guests can stroll through the grounds of Calthwaite Hall, though the manor house itself remains private.
