Kirkstone Lodge

Sitting in a stunning mountain-top location, this grand group escape offers striking views, epic social spaces and quirky touches throughout. Ideal for your next celebration with family and friends, Kirkstone Lodge is perched high above the shimmering waters of Lake Windermere in the heart of the Lake District.

When you arrive, you’ll be blown away by the epic mountains all around you, and once you step inside, you’ll love the bright, airy interior and modern furnishings throughout. Gather in the social kitchen, where you can prepare drinks for your group as they sit at the sprawling kitchen island, or whip up a feast making use of the modern appliances. When dinner’s ready, serve it up at the giant and striking dining table, that sets the scene for fab, social dinners that stretch into the night.

Just off the kitchen and dining space is a stylish seating area where you can unwind with a drink and catch up with loved ones. If you’re in the mood for fun, step into the entertainment spaces, which offer something for everyone. Challenge friends at the pool table, enjoy a variety of retro arcade machines or try your hand at foosball and air hockey. For younger guests (and the young at heart), there’s a dedicated children’s play zone, while adults can relax in the luxurious lounge with full surround sound - perfect for movie nights after a day of adventure.

The property also features a state-of-the-art audio system throughout, allowing you to create the perfect atmosphere in every room - from relaxed background music in the lounge to upbeat party vibes in the games area. For added fun, a full-size photo booth is on hand to capture and share unforgettable moments.

On warm days, step outside into your expansive gardens, where you can enjoy an evening tipple whilst taking in the view. Out here, you’ll also find two full-size hot tubs for indulgent soaks beneath the stars and your very own private sauna for an added touch of luxury.

There’s also a superb dining space outside where you can enjoy social summer lunches whilst taking in your surroundings. And, a pizza oven and BBQ make alfresco cooking a breeze.

When night falls, head back inside, where the eight ensuite bedrooms each offer a peaceful night’s sleep. The rooms have been lovingly designed and decorated with bold wallpaper and lovely colour palettes for your comfort, and each one has its own private ensuite for added convenience.

Step outside and you’ll find the Lake District unfolding at your doorstep. With immediate access to hiking and walking trails, you’re perfectly placed to immerse yourself in the region’s breathtaking landscapes. Spend your days paddleboarding or sailing on Lake Windermere, cycling along picturesque routes or venturing out on scenic hikes that showcase sweeping mountain views. For a change of pace, wander through quaint Lakeland villages, discover hidden gems in local shops and tearooms or visit renowned attractions that celebrate the area’s rich culture and history.
