We would like to welcome you to Mockerkin Lodge in the heart of the Lake District. Mockerkin Lodge is situated on a 5* award winning quite site on the shores of Bassenthwaite Lake. As a privately owned lodge we like to provide you with many extras that you would not receive in site based lodge....games, kitchen utensils, hot tub towels, extra blankets, homely cushions and so much more. A home from home - but with a hot tub :).
Mockerkin lodge is situated on Bassenthwaite Lake with the mountain of Skiddaw nearby providing breathtaking views in the heart of the Lake District National Park. There are a variety of walks and activities nearby . The village of Bassenthwaite is a five minute drive and has a great pub for local dining. The towns of Keswick and Cockermouth are located nearby. This peaceful lodge is in an idyllic location where you can spend time exploring the fells and mountains nearby or simply relaxing in one of the most beautiful areas in England. Quiet site with access to adjoining dog walking field where your dogs can run freely off the lead with great views of Skiddaw. Small children's play park, and jetty for launching of kayaks, boats etc. Bassenthwaite Lake is also a great view point for the local Ospreys nesting near by.
