Tiptoes Lodge, Yorkshire

Tiptoes Lodge sits in South Lakeland Leisure Village in Lancashire, just 2 miles from Carnforth. This single-storey lodge offers stunning views across a peaceful duck pond where you'll spot herons if you're lucky. Perfect for escaping the daily grind without roughing it too much. The hot tub's a proper treat after exploring the surrounding national parks.

Located between the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales, this spot gives you the best of both worlds. Three national parks within easy reach means endless walking opportunities without the crowds. The site itself has a swimming pool, gym and beauty therapy suites for when your legs give up. Fancy a paddle? Morecambe Bay's just down the road.

Inside you'll find an open-plan living space with a fully-equipped kitchen featuring electric oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. The master bedroom has an en-suite, while the smaller twin room suits kids or teenagers. There's also a family bathroom with bath and shower.

Visit Greenlands Farm Village (5 minutes), explore historic Kirkby Lonsdale (20 minutes), or head to Windermere (30 minutes) for lake activities. Morecambe Bay offers stunning coastal walks and beaches just 15 minutes away.

Tiptoes Lodge works brilliantly for families, couples or friends seeking a private base with extra luxuries. The private decking with hot tub sells it - nothing beats bubbles with a view after a day's hiking. Just remember to bring the prosecco!
