Our Lake View Room with Balcony (Lodge 3, Squirrel Nutkin) provides 30 square meters of space with views of the water from both the bedroom and the private balcony. The bed can be prepared as a king size or two single beds—please specify your preference at the time of booking—making the room suitable for either couples or friends visiting the Lake District.
The layout includes an en-suite bathroom with a separate bath and shower. For guests who prefer to eat in, the room is equipped with practical amenities including a microwave and a small fridge. This lodge is also dog-friendly for those traveling with pets. If you are part of a larger group, this room can be interconnected with our King Room with Lake View & Balcony when booked together. To simplify your arrival and departure, assigned parking is provided directly by the lodge.

While both sit on the beautiful historic Holbeck Estate, they offer entirely different styles of stay. Holbeck Ghyll is our traditional country house hotel featuring full-service hospitality and our estate restaurant. Holbeck Gardens is our independent, room-only brand and is designed for travellers who want flexible, contact-free comfort, exceptional lake or garden views without the structure of a formal hotel stay.
To offer you maximum flexibility, Holbeck Gardens operates on a seamless, self-check-in system. Before your arrival, you will receive a secure digital access code and arrival instructions via email. This allows you to walk straight to your room and start your holiday without waiting at a reception desk.
Yes! We welcome well-behaved dogs in our designated dog-friendly rooms. Because we want to ensure everything is perfectly prepared for your four-legged companion, you must notify us in advance if you are travelling with a dog.
Visiting with dogs?
To maintain the high standard of our accommodation for all guests, we have two firm policies in place for canine visitors:
Holbeck Gardens is a room-only accommodation provider. Rooms are equipped with microwave, tea and coffee-making facilities so you can enjoy a morning brew on your terrace, but no food service is provided on-site. Fortunately, we are perfectly positioned between Windermere and Ambleside—two of the Lake District’s premier culinary hubs giving you easy access to everything from casual pub grub to fine dining.
Free parking is automatically included on-site for all Holbeck Gardens guests. Please note that electric vehicle (EV) charging is not currently available on the estate. If you are travelling in an electric vehicle, we recommend utilising the public charging networks located at; Booths Supermarket (2.6mi), Brockhole Visitor Center (1.1mi), Low Fold Car Park in Ambleside (2mi)
Yes, you are very welcome to enjoy the grounds. Occasionally, limited areas of our grounds may be reserved for private events however the rest of the grounds remain entirely accessible for you to wander and enjoy.
