About Ullswater Heights

Ullswater Heights is a gorgeous collection of lodges and unique safari tents just 6.5 miles from Ullswater.  The accommodation is both spacious and stylish with the safari tents really taking luxury glamping to the next level. 

Ullswater itself has long been a favourite for tourists to the Lake District and is, without doubt, one of the most beautiful area.  You can stroll around the lake on foot or take a ride on an Ullswater Steamer.  There are also plenty of water sports to enjoy.   You'll find some lovely pubs and restaurants nearby as well as the charming village of Greystoke.

Some of the rarest wildlife in the UK can be seen when you stay at Ullswater Heights including red deer, red squirrels and peregrine falcons.

Accommodation at Ullswater Heights

We love the Contemporary 4 View Lodge which offers amazing views over the quarry lake.  The lodge is spacious and luxurious with a fantastic outdoor decking area housing garden furniture and a bubbling outdoor hot tub.  The interior design and finishing touches are outstanding.  The Contemporary 6 lodge is also a lovely option and pet friendly too!

For a really unique holiday experience, the safari tents are brilliant!  The Safari Tent Simplex sleeping 6 has one double bedroom, one twin and one ladder from the living room leading to a double cabin bed which kids will love! 

The safari tents have a real sense of adventure about them with their canvas tops and yet have all the luxuries of the lodges.  They also come with outdoor hot tubs, ideal for relaxing and taking in the views.  The Safari Tent Duplex offers more space and can sleep up to 8 guests. 

For days out you could head to Carlisle Castle which is a magnificent sight full of history.  Mirehouse and Gardens in Keswick are also a great place to visit with access to Bassenthwaite Lake, walled garden, maze and adventure playgrounds for the little ones.

Ullswater Heights Reviews

"No complaints on the lodge at all, if anything the decking area could have been a little cleaner and more cleaning equipment left in the kitchen"
Hannah - Mar 2024
"Perfect for 2 Adults and 2 under 5s, although its sung it was big enough to accommodate us all. The beds really comfortable and the children loved chilling on the beanbag after a busy days exploring."
Verified Guest - Feb 2024
"Fantastic stay. Everything we needed was on site, the pod was equipped with everything needed. Bed we comfortable, place really clean and felt relaxing. Staff super helpful and friendly. Will return!"
Verified Guest - Jan 2024
"Was great just not equiped for making large xmas dinner"
Verified Guest - Dec 2023
"Lodge was lovely x"
Sheree - Dec 2023
"Absolutely perfect cabin, all spotless, high chair provided and beds comfy. Sadly we ran into issues with the hot tub but we where upgraded for no extra cost to a bigger cabin which was also fab."
Pippa - Dec 2023
"beautiful modern lodge, nothing to fault with it just that there wasnt much equipment e.g cleaning materials/ toilet roll so remember to bring them bit apart for that we loved every minute and actually booked again for next year while we were still there!"
Emily - Dec 2023
"Settee could do with updating and some more ventilation to ease the flow of air around the pod"
Verified Guest - Nov 2023
"Have stayed in lodge before which was lovely, everything you would need.Clean and tidy.Pod not good value, was dated and in need of improvement.Would not recommended a pod."
Verified Guest - Nov 2023
"Overall the pod was good however the double bed is a bit short for anyone 6 foot or over because it is against a wall top and bottom. Also the Pod we were in was a pet friendly one and smelt a bit doggy (we didnt have a dog)."
Verified Guest - Nov 2023
"Pod was not clean - shower full of mould. We would never stay here again."
Kate - Nov 2023
"Fantastic condition, exactly as was shown on booking photos. Really cosy with lots of finishing touches. Beds are rather on the small / snug side but then it is a compact lodge to be expected. Lots of good quality cooking utensils. Washing machine and dishwasher which make all the difference. Decking area was high quality and spacious with great patio furniture."
Andrew - Nov 2023
"Fabulous food and service throughout, most impressive for a holiday park."
Verified Guest - Nov 2023
"We thoroughly enjoyed everything about our stay"
Kirsty - Nov 2023
"Investing in decent pillows would be a good idea!"

Jonathon - Aug 2020
"An amazing first time here but not our last. Friendly staff and very relaxing. An amazing holiday feel."
Leila - Aug 2020
"Spent a lovely long weekend away with my boyfriend and we both thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Staff were very welcoming and friendly and the overall park was very quiet even with children on site. One down fall of the accommodation was the gap between the partition of the two people lodges as it was easy to see through to next door."
Brooke - Aug 2020
"We had a great time here, while the amazing weather helped, we'd go back in a heartbeat. There's so much to do in the lakes, there's no chance of being at a loose end."
Michael - Aug 2020
"Brilliant! I spoke to staff at the end of the holiday about the small number of defects we found and this was welcomed. Overall the set up and staff could not be faulted"
Martin - Aug 2020
"The lodge was excellent , the accommodation was almost like brand new. We were very happy with the lodge , the furnishings and the hot tub was great.
Only negatives were that the glasses in the kitchen cupboard were filthy and there was one toilet roll provided for a 5 day stay.
Was glad that I had packed my own glasses and loo roll."
Faye - Aug 2020
"We had a lovely holiday couldnt fault the lodge and park"
Sheila - Aug 2020
"Amazing food and friendly staff."
Elle - Aug 2020
"I am assuming because of COVID the cost was so high. The same week next summer was a lot cheaper"
Joanne - Aug 2020
"We had the most amazing 4 nights at Ullswater heights, the lodges were absolutely stunning along with their bar and restaurant that over looked the quarry it was beautiful. We can't wait to book again to come back and to top it of the weather was amazing. It is set in such a great location in the lakes very close to alot of lovely walkes and various lakes. There was a few times in the restaurant I asked for sauce etc and it never turned up but other than that I really couldn't fault it."

Attractions Near Ullswater Heights

Here are some of the activities and experiences you can enjoy on your visit to Ullswater Heights. If you discover a worthy inclusion to this list on your hot tub break, please let us know and we'll add it so that other visitors can enjoy it too.
Ullswater Steamers - CA11 0US
about 10 Miles
This is an award winning Lake District attraction and they have been operating cruisers on Lake Ullswater for over 150 years.  There is no better way to explore the lakes than on water and you could even combine a cruise with a spectacular walk.  For great days out in this region then this attraction is highly recommended and will appeal to couples as well as families.  Corporate groups are also well catered for.
Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD
about 15 Miles
We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look".  Some of the amazing animals you will get to see include the only Canadian Lynx in the UK and you will have the opportunity to help their Lynx Conservation Project.  The Asian Fishing Cat is also well worth a look - these cats are known for diving under the water and catching fish!  Other activities include fantastic flying displays and play areas for the little ones...
Tullie House Museum & Art Gallery - CA3 8TP
about 15 Miles
This is a museum and art gallery in one and will suit those looking for an educational and cultural day out.  You can explore the fantastic art collection including Fine Art, Decorative Art and Textiles.  If you love nature then this aspect of Tullie House will appeal. The museum holds large and important collections of zoological, botanical and geological material. And for lovers of history there is plenty to wet your appetite here. Tullie House collects a wide range of historic materials including objects, ephemera (printed material), photographs and associated information files.  We think this museum and art gallery are excellent value for money as well.
Rydal Mount & Gardens - LA22 9LU
about 17 Miles
Rydal Mount & Gardens are wonderfully situated between Lake Windermere and Rydal Water offering breathtaking scenery. The home of William Wordsworth from 1813 - 1850 the grand home is now lived in by the poets descendents but parts of the house and grounds are open to the public. Why not take a guided tour and see the rooms where many of the famous poems were written. The gardens are beautiful at all times of the year but in the summer offer a spectacular display of colour. There is also a gallery and a tearoom. Discounts are available for group bookings.
Lakeland Wildlife Oasis - LA6 1JH
about 34 Miles
Located in the Milnthorpe area of Cumbria we love this local attraction.  With an eclectic mix of fascinating wildlife and hands on displays this centre is educational as well as fun.  You can wander around at leisure admiring the exhibits which range from chameleons to computers. Some of the most threatened species are kept at the park as part if international breeding programmes.  Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs which are great value for money.  There are discounts for pre-booked parties of 12 or more.
Kielder Water Bird of Prey Centre - NE48 1BT
about 36 Miles
Housing the most fascinating collection of Birds of Prey in the North East this centre is definitely worth a visit if you are staying in the Kielder Water area. Located in Falstone it's easy to get to and makes a great day out for both families and couples.  As well as seeing the amazing birds you can learn all about the captive breeding programme and the excellent work being done there.  Some of the highlights of the day might include watching a Falcon stoop down from the skies at over 100mph and admiring the grace of the Eagles, Kites and Hawks.
South Lakes Safari Zoo - LA12 0LU
about 37 Miles

This is an amazing Cumbria attraction well known locally as well as nationally for how close you can get to the animals.  Described as the most interactive animal park in Europe it's well worth a visit if you are staying in the area.  Open from April to end October some of the highlights are the tigers, penguins, bears, hippos and rhinos.  At 2pm during certain seasons it's feeding time so don't forget to plan your day around this so you can watch the animals enjoying their feed.  Look out for seasonal events such as Halloween Zoo Boo (free entry for kids in fancy dress) and The Magic of Christmas.

Mabie Farm Park - DG2 8EZ
about 39 Miles
Mabie Farm Park is a firm favourite. Ideal for families with younger children ,this family oriented farm park has lots of animals to meet and also offers Donkey Rides, Paddle Boats and Slides as well as Trampolines and Bouncy Castles. Kids can run around on the Soft Play Area while mum and dad relax in the Tea Room. There is also a Farm Shop onsite selling toys, gifts and fresh local produce including cakes and jams. Seasonal activities can also be enjoyed including a spookly tea and walk on Haloween. The Farm closes for the winter on October 31st.
