Treetop and Calgarth Lodges

For all of our guests visiting in the half term week and halloween weekend I’ve been looking for some spooky family entertainment for you! Brockhole Visitor Centre is offering a variety of activities over the week and Halloween weekend – the visitor centre has some great plans for offering even more free attractions to visitors to the lake district – and we’re lucky enough to have Calgarth Lodge which is only a stones throw away from it all and Tree Top Lodge which is about 2 stones throw away!! Dogs are welcome too!
