YR20 - Willerby Gainsborough Lodge at South Lakeland Leisure Village, Borwick Ln, Warton, Carnforth, LA6 1BH

The Gainsborough’s kitchen is the first thing you notice. Dark navy shaker units, brass fittings, herringbone floor. It has a warmth that a lot of lodges at this price miss.

It’s the kind of interior you actually want to spend time in rather than just look at.

The open-plan layout connects kitchen and dining area naturally, with a freestanding dining table for four and the lounge beyond. Two bedrooms, two shower rooms.

The master has a king-size bed, ample wardrobe space, and a private en-suite. The second bedroom has twin beds and its own separate bathroom making it practical for families or two couples.

South Lakeland sits where the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales meet.

From this base, Windermere, Coniston, and the Arnside & Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty are all within 30 minutes.

It’s one of the few parks in the region where both national parks are genuinely on your doorstep.

On the park: The Waters Edge Bar & Restaurant with lakeside decking, heated indoor pool, gym, steam room, spa, and fishing.

Everything you need without leaving the site, and two national parks when you do.
