A ‘stone tent’ warmed by a log-burner, set just metres from the shores of Loweswater.
Holme Wood Bothy offers basic accommodation in the most spectacular of locations, just a few metres from the shores of Loweswater. The six-sleeper bothy is effectively a stone tent with a few added comforts such as a wood-burning stove and a basic kitchen area.
Its wild and remote location allows you to disconnect from modern life for a few days. Go hiking around the woods and lake in search of wildlife or watch the stars as night falls. Discover the secret waterfall of Holme Force, which hides amongst the woods or go further afield to the peaks of Lake District.
Preferred changeover days are Fridays and Mondays with 3, 5 and 7 night stays available.
Small open plan kitchen/dining area with woodburning stove (initial wood supply provided) and table/benches. Gas ring cooker (gas provided). Sleeping is on wooden flooring in a separate room, split on two levels. Please be aware that sleeping areas are communal which may not be suitable for some mixed parties. Bring your own sleeping bags, mats, cooking equipment, torches etc.
First floor
Upper sleeping area accessed by wooden ladder.

Please note to give you peace of mind and in line with government advice our cleaning regime has changed until further notice. We will carry an enhanced clean after each stay however, to continue the ethos of a bothy stay we ask our guests to leave the bothy in a clean and tidy condition for the next guests.
We've got bothies and bunkhouses in spectacular locations and within easy reach of national parks, beautiful countryside, unspoilt coastlines and landscape parks.
