A Windermere holiday firm has partnered with an independent holiday lodge business.

High Borrans Lodges, based on a farm just outside of Windermere will now be represented by Lake District Lodge Holidays, a specialist holiday booking agency.

Based in Windermere, Lake District Lodge Holidays has five employees and a small team of local contractors.

High Borrans Lodges offers lodges just for two people and maybe a dog.

Based 10-minutes drive from Windermere and Bowness, there are just three lodges with two new ones due to be added in early March.

Cathy Hodgson, from High Borrans, said: “We wanted to be represented by a business that specialises in Lodge lettings and is very good at it.

“Lake District Lodge Holidays have a great reputation and know the business inside out - my bookings are already up by 20 per cent.

“High Borrans Lodges are located on a working farm high in the hills above Windermere, our small family owned site offers year round peace and quiet in rural surroundings.

Mark and Paula Holdcroft started Lake District Lodge Holidays nine years ago, with business partner, Simon Robinson.

Mr Holdcroft, said: “We’re delighted to have added High Borrans to our portfolio – it’s the first time a smaller privately owned location has joined us.

“We have very quickly made a difference to their business, through our reputation and highly focused marketing approach.

“We want High Borrans to be the first of many similar lodge locations in the Lake District work with us and our unique approach.”
