This two-bedroom lodge at Herdwick Lodge offers a turnkey holiday-let or second-home close to Cartmel’s amenities and South Lakes attractions. The open-plan living/dining room with pitched ceiling, wood-burning stove and dual access to a raised deck gives a bright, airy feel and easy indoor-outdoor flow. There is off-street parking for two and a private garden with a four-person hot tub — practical comforts for guests or private breaks.
The lodge is already trading as a holiday let, producing gross income of about £11,465 in 2023/24 and £13,734 in 2024/25. The site is open 52 weeks a year and management is handled on-site, so this is suited to buyers wanting a ready-made holiday income stream or a low-fuss second home.
Buyers should note clear limitations: this is leasehold for holiday use only, with a surcharge payable on resale and above-average site fees. LPG heating, shared septic drainage and a park management regime are features typical of lodge parks. Also check broadband performance: the listing notes “superfast broadband” but tested speeds were reported slow. Mortgage lenders sometimes refuse on park lodges with shorter leases — confirm lending and lease renewal options before committing.
Overall, Herdwick Lodge is a comfortable, well-presented holiday property in a sought-after village location. It’s best for those seeking an income-generating lodge or a comfortable part-time retreat rather than for buyers seeking long-term residential security.
