“The kind of place where everyone puts their phones down. We loved the walk into town, then coming back for the hot tub and a fire.”
Kirkby Lonsdale · Cumbria
A little lodge
with lots of room.
A characterful country stay for eight, with open fields outside, thoughtful interiors within, and Kirkby Lonsdale just a 15-minute walk away.

Inside the lodge
Made for gathering.
Designed for switching off.
The heart of the house is easy and sociable: a proper dining table, a cosy sitting room, a country kitchen and bedrooms that look out over green fields.

Breakfast long enough to become lunch.
Room to breathe
Soft mornings,
slow evenings.
Three restful bedrooms, each with its own mood and a view that makes staying under the covers feel entirely reasonable.



Grade II listed · c.1840
A little bit of history
Nearly two centuries of comings and goings.
Built around 1840 as the entrance lodge to the Summerfield estate, the Victorian sandstone building retains its hipped slate roof, mullioned windows and distinctive chimney stacks.
Neighbouring Summerfield House dates to 1841 and is attributed to Kendal architect George Webster. Both buildings are Grade II listed, preserving a setting that has welcomed travellers for nearly two centuries.
The sandstone entrance lodge is built.
Summerfield House is attributed to George Webster.
The historic setting receives statutory recognition.
The gate lodge begins a new chapter as a country escape.
The story above follows the surviving architectural record.
Boots on
Walk into town.
Earn the pudding.
Market Square is about a mile away—around 15 minutes on foot for coffee, dinner or a wander.

Outside, naturally
Walk. Soak.
Repeat.
The private hot tub waits just outside the lodge. Best after a long walk, equally good for doing very little at all.
A good weekend, already planned
Go out well.
Come home better.
Kirkby Lonsdale is close enough to wander into on foot, while waterfalls, Dales walks and long lunches are all within easy reach.
