Originally built for extended family, Toad Lodge has been lovingly crafted into a welcoming retreat where comfort and nature come together. Whether you're watching ospreys fish on the reservoir, exploring the nearby Lake District (just 3 miles away), or unwinding in our large enclosed garden, every moment here is restorative.

**The cottage includes:**

- King-size bed + bunk beds (ideal for families)

- Fully equipped kitchen

- Bathroom

- Smart TV

- Free WiFi

- Heating throughout

- Large enclosed garden (~1 acre) — perfect for dogs

We're just 15 minutes from Roanhead and Sanscale Haws nature reserves, minutes from the South Cumbrian coast and Morecambe Bay, and fishing day tickets are available on the adjacent reservoir. No light pollution means spectacular stargazing on clear nights.

Well-behaved dogs are very welcome (up to 4). Come and reconnect with nature at Toad Lodge.
