    “The lodge was perfect for our family and the leisure village is beautiful.”

    The beds were super comfy, linen was lovely, so helpful to have a highchair too as we have a baby. Everything you need is in the kitchen. It was brilliant to have such big cupboards in the bedrooms - we actually used one as the baby’s bedroom as her travel cot fit in there! The kids loved all the games provided too. The only thing we had trouble with was the wifi for streaming stuff on the TV, but we didn’t watch TV really so it wasn’t a big issue at all. Our phones and tablets worked ...

The only thing we had trouble with was the wifi for streaming stuff on the TV, but we didn’t watch TV really so it wasn’t a big issue at all. Our phones and tablets worked fine when necessary. We enjoyed swimming as a family at the leisure centre and were able to go back and use the gym too. We also loved our evening at the onsite restaurant and bar. The children played on the little beach while we had a drink looking over the lake - so beautiful. It was also great to have Chantelle’s number to ask a couple of questions and she responded straight away, which was so helpful! We will definitely be back :)

The property

Carnforth 2.3 miles.

Enjoy a relaxing holiday in the comfort of this wonderful holiday park, the South Lakeland Leisure Village, where picturesque lakes and grounds provide a gorgeous backdrop to your Lancashire holiday.

Waternook Lodge benefits from resting all on the ground floor, with a contemporary and thoughtful interior that creates a pleasant space to enjoy down-time when you're not out adventuring, whether out on the coast along the Irish Sea or up in the Lake District walking over fells and pikes.

Within the open-plan living space head straight to the welcoming seating area, where an arrangement of sofas and beanbags offer enough room for the whole group to crash out, put a film on the TV and have a movie night.

Head into the kitchen space to cook up some easy treats and classic dishes with a range of great appliances assisting you, before serving up on the dining table for some traditional quality time; go over the events of the day and plan the next days ahead while everyone's together.

Find relaxation in the family bathroom which hosts bathtub for a sumptuous soak, while the master king size bedroom benefits from its very own en-suite shower room, so you can hop out of bed and into a refreshing shower straight away.

Another double bedroom offers a walk-in closet, and a twin room is excellently arranged with storage too, all offering pleasant sleeping spots.

Rest on the decking on a summer afternoon with a cold drink, toast to your holiday before heading to the on-site Waters Edge Restaurant for a night off from cooking for everyone.

The town of Carnforth is a just over 2-miles away and can offer a host of amenities, including shops, pubs and restaurants, browse the lovely Carnforth Bookshop which is home to over 100,000 secondhand and antiquarian books, or head to Leighton Hall which is home to the furniture-making Gillow family to tour the beautiful house and grounds.

Take a detour to the beach at Morecambe and stroll along the award-winning promenade, delight in classic fish and chips with an ice cream to finish, visit the beautiful Art Deco Midland Hotel with views over the water, and enjoy getting to know this seaside setting.

Birdwatchers will delight at the variety of birds and wildlife at Leighton Moss RSPB reserve, where you can see deer, otters and rare birds, and from where you can walk through the grounds of Leighton Hall and over to Warton Crag.

Within easy reach of the incredible Lake District National Park as well for walking and a host of outdoor activities, Waternook Lodge makes for a fabulous retreat for you and your loved ones.
