About Flusco Wood

Flusco Wood is part of the exclusive Bouja Luxury Boutique Breaks Collection and it's easy to see why!  Beautifully located within majestic woodland Flusco Wood has one of the most enviable settings we have seen. 

Close to Ullswater one of the most popular and beautiful areas of the Lake District there is so much to do right on the doorstep.  Walking, water sports, wildlife and enjoying the spectacular scenery are just some of the delights that await.

The lodges at Flusco Wood are just as gorgeous as the setting! Take the Savannah Premier Lodge for example - a luxury and boutique holiday home with a super stylish open plan interior.  This lodge sleeps 4 and comes with a private out hot tub accessed from the lodge on to your own decking area.  Other lovely lodges at Flusco Wood include the Eamont Premier which also comes with decking, hot tub and stunning design and layout.  

Ullswater itself is fantastic for exploring - from watersports to waterfalls and charming Lake District villages we're sure you'll be left wanted to stay longer!  We recommend a trip to Greystoke with its welcoming country pub and castle - famously known as being the home of Lord Greystoke, better known as Tarzan.  Even better you can walk here from Flusco Wood!   

A bit further afield you could visit Keswick and Penrith which also are beautiful for days out and exploring the lakes.  For families a visit to the Lake District Wildlife Park is brilliant.  The Ullwater Steamers are also a fun activity in this area.  We also recommend a visit to Rydall Mount and Gardens, the former home of William Wordsworth.

Flusco Wood Reviews

"We absolutely love this holiday park! Its perfect for dog owners like us, super welcoming and friendly. The lodges are stunning-so modern and spotless. The views of Blencathra are breathtaking, especially at sunset. Its peaceful here, just a short drive to Pooley Bridge and Keswick. Weve already booked our third trip and cant wait to come back again soon! Definitely a place well keep returning to."
Lucy - Mar 2025
"Really enjoyed the stay, stunning scenery and everything was so well thought out."
Alex Carter - Mar 2025
"Nice place, had all we needed, very clean!"
Emily Carter - Mar 2025
"We had such a lovely time at Flusco Wood in the Lake District. The on-site facilities were spot on-clean, well-kept and just right for relaxing. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, especially Cliff, who made sure we knew how everything worked in the cottage. We were really lucky with the weather in March, which made our trip even better. There are some cracking walks nearby and the location is just perfect-peaceful but still close enough to visit all the main spots in the Lakes and Penrith without any hassle. Overall, it was a fantastic stay. Wed definitely recommend Flusco Wood and would love to come back sometime!"
Emma Clarke - Mar 2025
"Our Flusco Wood review: We booked this place for our honeymoon and honestly, it was fantastic. The lodge was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and really comfortable - we couldnt find a single fault. The hot tub was a real highlight and we loved that staff came to clean it every morning, which was a nice touch. Everyone we spoke to was so friendly and helpful, especially when we had a little problem with the gate. The location is great too, easy to get to Pooley Bridge, Keswick and Ambleside. We had an amazing week and are already planning our return trip!"
Jessica - Mar 2025
"Really cosy and well-kept place"
Emma - Jan 2025
"We loved this lodge! Spacious, comfortable and perfect for relaxing getaways. Can't wait to come back!"
Emma - Jan 2025
"We loved the stunning scenery around the lodge, perfect for a peaceful escape. Its pretty remote, but only about ten minutes to shops. One thing wed suggest is adding a cover over the hot tubs - would be great in bad weather!"
Emma - Dec 2024
"Comfortable beds, lovely stay"
Emma - Nov 2024
"We recently stayed at Flusco Wood in the Carlton Signature Lodge and honestly, it was great! The lodge was perfect for our group - 3 adults, a little one and our 7-month-old pup - and everything inside was super comfy, making the whole stay really relaxing. The hot tub was definitely the best part; it was lovely to unwind after a day of exploring and soak in those beautiful views. The park itself was kept in top shape, nice and tidy, which made it even more pleasant. We loved the enclosed dog field - our puppy had a blast running around freely without us worrying. Only thing wed suggest is maybe a small shop or cafe on site for quick snacks or essentials, thatd be handy. Overall, we had a brilliant time and would happily recommend it to anyone needing a chill escape!"
Emily - Apr 2024
"We had a fantastic stay! The lodge was well-equipped with everything we needed, especially the comfy bed and two bathrooms. The smart TV, Nespresso and BOSE speaker really made it special. Loved it!"
James - Apr 2024
"Really enjoyed our stay, the cabin had everything we needed."
Sarah - Apr 2024
"We had a lovely stay at the lodge. The beds were super comfy and it was really warm and cosy, just what we needed. The hot tub was brilliant, though a little skimmer net wouldve been handy to clear the leaves that fell in. Only issue was the remote, but they swapped it straight away. Overall, great experience!"
Jamie - Mar 2024
"We recently stayed at this lodge and honestly, it was just what we needed. The place is stunning and super comfy - felt like a proper home from home. Our family of four, including two teenagers, loved the twin room, which was spacious and had its own en suite, so no one was fighting over space. Plenty of storage, too. The kitchen had everything for self-catering and we really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub after a day out. The bathrooms were a good size, with a nice big shower, even if theres no bath. The decks on both sides with tables were perfect for chillin outside. Overall, a great spot!"
Emma - Mar 2024
"Really enjoyed our stay, the lodge was perfect and super comfy. Will return!"
Emma - Mar 2024
"We really enjoyed our stay. The lodge was cosy and had all we needed. The hot tub was a bit tricky with the lid, but overall, it was a lovely break. Wed come back!"
James - Mar 2024
"We love the lodges cosy vibe and the location is perfect. More pans would be handy!"
Emma - Mar 2024
"We stayed at this lodge recently and honestly, its pretty spacious and comfy. There are a few bits that could use some attention - like some mould in the shower and a dented door - but considering its a pet-friendly place, we get that it sees a lot of use. Nothing major enough to put us off coming back for sure. The lodge itself is lovely and we all had a great time. One thing we did notice was that a second set of towels wouldve been handy, especially over five days, but Im sure if we asked, theyd sort it. Overall, a nice stay!"
Emily - Mar 2024
"Weve stayed here a few times now and honestly, this place never disappoints. The views are stunning, even better than the pictures sometimes! The Lark cabin was perfect for us, plenty of space and total privacy for the hot tub. The kitchen had everything we needed and its just so peaceful. Well definitely be back!"
Emily - Mar 2024
"We stayed at the rural lodge recently and honestly, it was quite lovely. The place was spacious and really well equipped, especially for our dogs. There were a few stains on the sofas, but nothing too bad since throws were provided. The kitchen and bathrooms were top-notch. Definitely recommend for anyone bringing pets along, we had a great time!"
Emma Clarke - Mar 2024
"Weve stayed here several times and always find it comfortable with friendly staff. Cant wait to come back next year!"
Emma - Mar 2024
"Really enjoyed the vibe and gorgeous setting all around us."
Alex - Mar 2024
"The Carlton Signature is a lovely place with lots of space and modern amenities. It doesnt quite feel like a lodge inside, but its really comfortable. Wed definitely stay again!"
Sam - Mar 2024
"We had a lovely stay! The place was super clean and really cosy, just what we needed. Check-in staff were friendly and helpful. Were already planning our next trip here, cant wait to come back!"
Jessica - Feb 2024
"The lodge was really cosy and had all the essentials we needed. The only thing was the hot tub - it wasnt as clean as it shouldve been and we noticed that only when we used it in daylight on Saturday afternoon. Still, overall, a good stay!"
Emma - Feb 2024
"We had such a relaxing stay! The lodge felt just like being at home, with super comfy beds and plenty of hot water. The smart TV with Netflix was a nice touch and having a bath was a real treat. Definitely a great place to unwind!"
Emma - Feb 2024
"The lodge had pretty much everything we could ask for and the hot tub was already warm when we got there. Great stay!"
Emily - Feb 2024
"We booked this trip mainly for the dogs sake and honestly, he had a fantastic time! The area is perfect for walks; theres a lovely trail to Greystoke right onsite, which was great for us and the pup. The hot tub was a real highlight - big enough for us to unwind peacefully while the dog roamed freely on the decking. The staff were genuinely friendly and made us feel welcome. Plus, being so close to Penrith meant we could easily grab anything extra we needed without a fuss. Overall, we had a great stay and definitely plan to return!"
Sam - Jan 2024
"Really enjoyed the stay"
Emma - Dec 2023
"Lovely site, nice and peaceful with lots of places to explore close by"
Alan - Aug 2022
"4 night stay Mon to Friday - family of 3. We had booked a Gobarrow lodge but were offered an upgrade to an Askham Wood lodge before we arrived. Staff very helpful and informative and check in was very quick and easy. The Park location is good only 6 miles from J40 M6 and is very well maintained and secure. Our lodge was very clean, fresh and modern and had everything we needed (and more) for our stay. The decked areas and hot tub were perfect for relaxing after long days out. We booked a Sainsburys grocery delivery to the site for 6.30pm( no issues) the nearest local convenience store is based at the Esso petrol station at the Rheged centre about 3.5 miles away - great for odd things you may have forgot to bring with you!! Places to go: Pooley Bridge/Ullswater only 5 miles away. Take the boat trip to Glenridding (not cheap) well worth it for the fantastic views. Can also try paddle boarding there with Alfresco adventure - hire board and wet suit. Dalemain House is about 5 miles away and is worth a visit, the gardens are lovely, nice tea room and really good tour guides. Rheged centre is really good, nice cafe with a good choice of food and drink. We also went to the cinema there - 2 screens and latest movies very good value for money Keswick - lovely town, lots of shops and places to eat and you can walk around Derwent water which is really nice. Flusco Wood gets a 10/10 from us."
Sue - Aug 2022
"Had a great break in a lovely lodge ( very modern and clean and with a fabulous hot tub ). We were in the Kingfisher so fairly private setting . Will be back !"
Lisa - Jul 2022
"We stayed In Cabin Penrith. The Cabin was spotless so was the hot tub. We had an amazing time and will definitely be returning! The dog also thoroughly enjoyed himself! Thank you ?"
Mark - Jul 2022
"Initially booked the wrong accommodation wasn’t until the week before we noticed. I contacted them and they was able to change my accommodation thankfully. I would like to thank all the staff at flusco and a special thank you to Chloe. You went above and beyond."
Paul - Jul 2022
"Lovely holiday home. Very clean and comfortable. I would only say the location of the hot tub is a bit disjointed. More than enough room on the decking which would allow those using the tub to interact with those not using it."
Grant - Jul 2022
"Great place to stay for a quiet getaway. Hot tubs and accommodation clean . Had a lovely time away ?"
Kim - Jul 2022

Attractions Near Flusco Wood

Here are some of the activities and experiences you can enjoy on your visit to Flusco Wood. 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 8 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...
Rydal Mount & Gardens - LA22 9LU
about 15 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.
Tullie House Museum & Art Gallery - CA3 8TP
about 17 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.
Lakeland Wildlife Oasis - LA6 1JH
about 32 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.
South Lakes Safari Zoo - LA12 0LU
about 36 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.

Kielder Water Bird of Prey Centre - NE48 1BT
about 38 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.
Happy Mount Park - LA4 5AQ
about 39 Miles
Happy Mount Park has attractions for the whole family including several play areas, a miniature railway, crazy golf, putting green and trampolines, there is also a paddling pool where the little ones can splash around in the summer and a café where the adults can relax with a drink. During the summer months and especially during school holidays live music can often be enjoyed.
