The Lodges
The six lodges that make up The Residences at Whitbarrow have each been carefully designed to make the most of their setting, with expansive glazing, vaulted ceilings, and thoughtfully curated interiors that frame the views beyond. Ranging from two to three bedrooms, each lodge offers bright, open-plan living spaces, with clean architectural lines and a restrained material palette. Natural textures, muted tones, and fluted finishes add warmth and depth, while sliding or Crittall-style doors extend the interiors onto generous private terraces.

Kitchens are well-appointed with integrated Bosch or NEFF appliances, Quooker hot taps, and sleek cabinetry, with larger lodges featuring central islands or breakfast bars for easy everyday living. Principal bedrooms are calm and inviting, each with a private en-suite fitted with premium Hansgrohe fixtures and rainfall showers. Additional bedrooms offer flexibility for family or guests, with selected lodges including bespoke bunk rooms, perfect for children. Main bathrooms continue the pared-back aesthetic, with contemporary fittings and clean, uncluttered lines.

Externally, each terrace is set up to make the most of the views, with the standard inclusion or options to add a hot tub, pergola, BBQ, or sauna. Landscaped grounds dissolve into the surrounding scenery of the Lake District.
