There’s a moment when you arrive at a lodge and you know you made the right choice. The Harrogate has that quality. Floor-to-ceiling glazing runs across the full front facade, and from inside the open-plan living space the light it brings in is remarkable. On a clear morning with a coffee in hand, you won’t want to be anywhere else.
The vaulted ceiling and open-plan layout means the space never feels like you’re making do. The kitchen flows into the dining area and lounge naturally, so a weekend away with another couple or a quiet week for two feels equally comfortable. Evenings in are as easy as evenings out, with pendant lights above the dining table and an electric fireplace to settle around when you’re done with the fells for the day.
At 41ft x 20ft the Harrogate sleeps four across two bedrooms. The master has a king-size bed and a private en-suite. The twin room is well-proportioned. The main bathroom has a full-size bath. After a day on Windermere or walking the Silverdale coast, that matters more than you’d think.
South Lakeland is where the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales meet. Windermere, Coniston, and the Arnside & Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty are all within 30 minutes. On the park: the Waters Edge Bar & Restaurant with lakeside decking, heated indoor pool, gym, steam room, spa, and fishing. South Lakeland is Pure Leisure’s flagship park, and the Harrogate is one of the most visually striking lodges on it.
