Perfect for our needs, very quite and peaceful.
Small dog could get out, a rail along the bottom would have been useful.

The lodge was beautiful and the bed was extremely comfortable. In a beautiful area too.
We stayed whilst there was a heatwave and unfortunately the sun was on the lodge from morning till around 9pm, therefore we found the lodge to be extremely hot inside and outside on the decking. We actually took the table and chairs from the decking and sat across from us on the grass in-between two caravans from the time we arrived back at the lodge in the afternoon, until 9pm, once the sun had gone down and no longer on the lodge. My tip for the owners would be to have an air cooling unit with water tank as this would have definitely helped to cool the lodge down. You did provide a tall floor standing fan, but it just moved the hot air around rather than helping to cool the room down. Other than that, the lodge was spotlessly clean, and the sofa was very comfortable. There was everything in the kitchen needed and the shower was powerful. Beautiful site itself and lovely to wander around.

Such a well laid out and clean holiday park. Lovely lodge ,very well equipped with lovely decor. Great doggy hamper.
A fly screen wouldhave been lovely to let the air in without flies. Also be mindful if you have mobility issues. High step into bath/shower with no rail and beds a bit higher than average.

Beautiful little lodge. Very clean with all mod cons.
Absolutely beautiful surroundings
There was nothing not to like other than the WiFi signal. Qe were staying due to work in the area and that is the only issue we could find.

Well maintained and stocked Lodge. Very comfortable, exactly what we needed. There was everything you would need. Coffee machine dishwasher, comfy clean beds clean towels, hot water on demand, and the heating was on when we arrived. Thanks to all, hopefully see you again.
The weather and leaving.
6.0 / 10.0
It had all of the facilities that you need for a comfortable stay and the location is stunning as you are a stones throw from the Keswick and Bassenthwaite.
The accommodation is too small if you have a medium to large dog. Also the overall cleanliness was lacking a little as the kitchen workbenches were sticky and the same could be said for the dining table. There was also a lot of dust on the blinds and cobwebs on the windows. It was as if the staff didn't have the time to do a thorough clean before we arrived. However as there is a very late check in time of not before 4pm and a check out time of no later than 10am, I would have thought this would be more than enough time for a deep clean.

Great location for visiting family quiet and dog friendly
Unusually there was a heat wave in the Lake District. Unfortunately the lodge wasn’t equipped to deal with this. One bedroom we were not able to use as it was too hot . Not enough windows in the lodge open to get enough air flow. We really needed air-con but I appreciate the weather was exceptional.
Flies were a problem as our lodge was near dog poo bin which was never emptied during our stay.

furniture and fixings were of high quality.
we went in mid June 2023 when temp was high 20s, low-to-mid 30s. the property when we arrived had been left closed up so was in the region of 32 degrees when we arrived at 6pm. no fans were on or windows open, though curtains had been closed. Really uncomfortable night’s sleep as a result.
also not clear where you could walk your dog. they claim to have an obstacle course for your fur baby, but we didn’t find it despite exploring all over the park.

Fantastic location with awesome views. Peaceful.
The decking was facing the caravan/lodge opposite.
Was a shame the lodge was orientated that was round !

Perfect location, Great facilities in lodge, fabulous comfy bed and super Shower...
..No fan for use on hot days inside lodge ,heat was unbearable at times in lodge even during night... Unable to open the sliding doors due to being invaded by dozens of annoying flies and the amount of food debris and animal hairs in between the cushions of sofa...

A reallyAbsolutely beautiful and tranquil not all cramped on top of each other just a lovely relaxing week.
II enquired about staying an extra 2 nights asy Lodge wasn't booked and they wanted £270 for the extra stay which i thought was a bit unfair as I paid 420 for 4 nights but it is what it is.

What a lovely place to stay, everyone’s so friendly & the lodge was very cute for a two night break.
Very impressed how dog friendly & prepared the site is. Thank you for their welcome treats 🐾
Thank you for our stay😊
The twin beds could do with being a bit bigger but plenty big enough for children. Mind you if your used to sleeping in a double bed, then you would find it small really.
9.0 / 10.0
Really lovely place to stay. Ideal for our family. Quiet environment. My children really loved their bedroom and the added touch of the cuddly toys.
The double bed wasn’t great for comfort, plus some of the blinds didn’t block enough of the light out. I understand that the shop is closed however some amenities on site would have been ideal with being in such a rural location.

Very simple check in process, sparkling clean on arrival, and a perfect base to relax after many tiring days hiking. Very quiet and peaceful holiday park & the lodge was really lovely, warm, cosy & had everything we needed! Comfy, high beds too. And great shower! Due to covid, all processes were completely contact-less (human-less!) which was perfectly safe and simple, just couldn’t help feeling it was a shame that we saw and spoke to no one (staff), not even to say thank you for our lovely stay. But i understand this is just how things are at the moment! Would definitely recommend this holiday park & lodge to others.
A few little things didn’t quite work properly but nothing major & it didn’t affect or bother us.
It was further out than we realised (from pretty much everything!) so a car & not minding a 15+ min drive to everything is an absolute must. It was a bit of a shame that one of us always couldn’t have a drink after a day’s hike as someone always had to drive back (sometimes for an hour plus, as it’s right at the very top of the Lake District)! But the location is clearly advertised so not a problem there, just in our own ‘not quite thinking it through’ perhaps!!

We have stayed here before & it suits us perfectly. Great layout and beautiful views.
Noticed the unit is starting to look a little tired since we stayed last year (bathroom lights not working, scuff & water marks around the accommodation).
10.0 / 10.0
Perfectly clean, stylish, and well equipped - best lodge type accommodation we've ever stayed in. Park is also very well kept.
Only downside is that we couldn't find a nice "country pub" close by... but there are plenty in the Lake District, so just stop off while you're out 😀
