The Property

Styhead Tarn is a fully-equipped 3-bedroom Lodge situated on a private holiday park in the heart of Lake District National Park with communal leisure facilities and surrounded by natural woodland. From the Park is a superb choice of walking paths including routes to Skelwith Bridge and the Talbot Pub, Elterwater and the Britannia Inn, Grasmere, Ambleside and Chaple Stile.

The elevated position of the holiday lodge means that you have a quiet private space, not overlooked by any of the other holiday-makers. The large south-facing outdoor area with wooden furniture benefits from views over the estate and onto Black Fell and Park Fell. The communal leisure complex, use of which is included in the hire, offers an indoor heated pool, jacuzzi, sauna and a table-tennis table which makes it perfect for families looking for hot tub holidays in the Lake District.

This is our 14/15th year at Styhead yarn and absolutely love it. Comfortable beds and really good heating system for cold nights. Fire pit outside is great on the cold nights

Second time we have stayed in Styhead tarn, both times where very enjoyable, clean and well equipped lodge. Perfect setting in amongst the trees should be perfect peace and quite however peace was shattered on a daily basis with a large amount of noise from various neighbouring lodges undergoing maintenance/ alterations, very disappointing.

A lovely lodge in the middle of the most picturesque location! Great access to some lovely walks and a beautiful lake, and only a £10 taxi into Ambleside. When driving to the lodge I’d recommend following the directions coming from the South rather than the North as there is a pretty steep hill that my little car struggled with, but other than that it’s super easy to find. Phone signal isn’t great so look up routes and things you want to do before you go as you’ll struggle to do this in the cottage but it was nice to be able to disconnect from technology. Overall I would highly recommend this lodge. In an uncertain time we had a fantastic summer holiday!
