Cedrus Lodge
Larch Lodge

www.upfrontholidays.co.uk

Established in Cumbria 2010 Most of the timber used is larch felled locally.

Cedrus Lodge
has been designed to have a minimum impact on the environment. It is constructed entirely from timber and stands on timber posts planted into the ground. The walls, floor and roof are made from two layers with a cavity filled with sheep’s wool insulation. This very thick layer provides double the insulation required for standard house construction. The lodge is very warm in winter an

d cool in the summer, using minimum energy to heat. It has full central heating throughout, for the colder weather. The roof is clad with cedar wood shingles and rainwater is collected to be re-cycled to flush the toilets. A large clerestory window along the roof ridge allows natural day light to flood into the living room and kitchen dining area for most of the day. The lodge has a double bedroom with en-suite and shower, a separate bathroom and two twin bedrooms. One twin bedroom has single beds (3’0″/90cm) and one twin bedroom has small single beds (2’6″/75cm) that can be made into a double if required. The living area has two large comfy sofas, a dining area and a fully fitted kitchen with a fridge freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer, dish washer. The Eco Lodge has full central heating for the colder weather and WiFi access. The rear of the lodge has a totally private fenced and hedged garden area with a large sun deck that looks over uninterrupted views of the surrounding country side. The lodge is in a very quite location yet at the same time it is served by the amenities of the on-site vegetarian restaurant and coffee-shop which is open during the day. Very useful for lazy days when cooking is not on the agenda. Larch Lodge
The lodge has a double en-suite bedroom with bathroom and walk in shower, plus a twin en-suite bedroom with bathroom and over-bath shower. Barn Owl Cottage
is converted from a 17th century barn next door to our home. It has great character, with exposed beams and stonework. The accommodation has one double bedroom, one twin bedroom and one single bedroom. The upstairs lounge looks onto surrounding fields. Upstairs the cottage has an open plan lounge, dining area and kitchen with laminate floor, plus a single bedroom. Double doors from the lounge lead onto an outside sun balcony and seating area with stairs leading to the garden. Downstairs the cottage has an entrance with small utility area, bathroom (with over bath electric shower), twin bedroom and a double bedroom. The cottage has full central heating and WiFi access. Upstairs has under floor heating, plus a woodburning stove. There is a TV and DVD player in the lounge, plus a TV in one of the bedrooms. The kitchen is fully equipped and has a microwave, fridge freezer and dishwasher. The washing machine and tumble drier are downstairs near to the utility area. The cottage has its own private driveway and patio garden area with a picnic bench. All bed linen, duvets, tea towels, towels and central heating are provided as part of the hire charge. Two baskets of logs per week are provided for the woodburning stove. One small/medium size dog is allowed at a charge of £20 per week.

There’s something really special about staying here 🌿✨

Tucked away in the Cumbrian countryside, our accommodation offers the perfect mix of peaceful surroundings, eco-friendly living, and an ideal location for exploring the Lakes and Eden Valley.

Sustainability has always been important to us too, so creating accommodation that works in harmony with the surrounding landscape was a huge part of the vision from the beginning.

Beautiful views, calm surroundings, and a stay that feels a little different from the usual.

Built with sustainability in mind 🍃

Our accommodation isn’t just about somewhere to stay, it’s about how it’s been put together. We’re not like any other place in the Lakes! Our accommodation is Timber-built and insulated using sheep’s wool, it’s designed to work with its surroundings rather than against them.

It’s traditional but it makes a difference. Warmer in winter, cooler in summer and a space that’s eco friendly. Check out the website for more information and upcoming dates that are available ✨

Did you know… 👀🏡

You can stay right here at Upfront? Tucked away in the countryside but perfectly placed for exploring, we’re just 30 minutes from Ullswater and Aira Force, and around 45 minutes from Hadrian’s Wall. We’re even closer to Lake District hotspots like Keswick!

Close enough for days out, but far enough to come back to a bit of peace and quiet afterwards. It’s the kind of place you can base yourself for a few days, take things at your own pace, and have something a little different right on your doorstep.

A bit of a hidden place to stay in the Lake District 📍⛰️

Tucked away at Upfront, our accommodation is one of those spots people find… and then don’t really want to leave. Quiet, comfortable and surrounded by countryside yet only 20 minutes from Keswick, so you’re perfectly placed to explore the Lake District without being right in the middle of it all🏡

It’s an easy base. Slow mornings, days out when you feel like it, and somewhere calm to come back to at the end of it. The kind of stay that feels simple in a good way 🍃

What if your weekend looked like this? 🧖🏼‍♀️🥂🍃

A slow morning in the countryside. Steam rising from the sauna.Hot water, open air and nothing pulling you anywhere else for once.

At Upfront, it’s not just about what’s happening inside the venue…it’s about the space around it too.

Nestled in the Cumbrian landscape, it’s the kind of place where you can turn up for the day and accidentally turn it into a whole experience.

🌿 Sauna sessions 🌿 Hot tub relaxation 🌿 Space to switch off properly

And just beyond us you’ve got everything the area does best: Walks, open views, fresh air, and that “proper escape” feeling without needing to go far at all.

Make a day of it. Start slow. Stay longer than you planned.
That’s usually how it goes here.
