“Perfect location, five minutes’ walk to the town, peaceful quiet site with the bonus of Lake Windermere on your doorstep. Clean and comfortable. Amazing communication from the owners from start to finish. Would highly recommend!”
“Great location. The lodge had everything needed and it was a great price.”
“We had such a lovely stay! Only one night to break up the drive to Scotland, but it was perfect — modern, clean and great for our family. The enclosed balcony was ideal to keep the dogs and our toddler safe. Would absolutely stay again.”
“Lovely comfortable lodge. Beautiful location, fantastic service, and central to a lot of places. Great hosts, very helpful. We will be back.”
“The lodge was very clean and pleasant to stay in… The location is exceptional — right next to Windermere, with stunning views of the lake you can walk straight down to. Very quiet, with picnic benches, perfect for a quiet moment. The host’s communication was excellent, responding very promptly.”
“Amazing holiday lodge, brand new and spotless. A home away from home… the beds were extremely comfy — all of us slept like logs! We would definitely come back.”
“Very well appointed, with thoughtful extra touches when it came to cleaning materials and personal care. Very comfortable and clean. A quiet part of the park — although the park altogether is a very calm place to be. Nothing to complain about!”
“Tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed. We stayed with our dog, and the lodge was spacious enough for his bed and all his essentials. We’d happily return.”
“Great location, clean, tidy, everything we needed. Lovely welcome pack on arrival.”
“Lovely stay, thank you. The lodge was very clean and welcoming and had everything we needed for our children and our little dog. The welcome gift was a really nice touch.”
