  We absolutely loved our stay here last week and are sad to be back home again.

  Everything we could possibly need was thought of - and even extra helpful things for our rescue greyhound too. The huge windows in the main living area made wildlife spotting so enjoyable. I was able to do lots of wildlife photography just through the windows as there was so much to see! So many birds but also red squirrels and even rabbits, which I wasn’t expecting to see in winter. The garden area was great for our greyhound. At first, we took him out on his lead just to be extra careful, but by the end of the week, we were confidently letting him off lead and he was so happy running around. In terms of inside the lodge, the beds were so comfortable and I found it easy to get to sleep. The lodge was decorated wonderfully with nice animal themed artwork. The log burner was also a nice touch and helped warm the living area up quickly, and also made it extra cosy. It really was just so homely and comfortable! Additionally, the area is so remote and peaceful, and with it being in the middle of nowhere, on a clear night you can see hundreds and thousands of stars! And it’s not far away from some nice locations to visit either, so we had a good balance between visiting busier locations and coming back to a quiet peaceful lodge. We’d absolutely love to come back and will hopefully book again in the near future!

  We loved the location of the lodge - it is in a very private and quiet part of the site.

  The hot tub was lovely and we enjoyed the wine and chocolates. The lodge itself is very comfortable and spacious for the two of us. There were a couple of minor things that would make the stay perfect. We needed a wooden spoon and some serving spoons while cooking. Also, a dustpan and brush and some cleaning products would be great. Instructions would be helpful, especially for where to put rubbish and recycling as there do not seem to be any communal bins on the site. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this lodge to friends and family. Thank you.

  Amazing lodge!

  Hot tub was fantastic and the views are incredible. Lodge tucked away nicely out of the way. Has everything you'd need. Owners left some bubbly and chocs which was so nice. Thank you! The only suggestion I would give would be to have some plastic flutes or wine glasses for use around the hottub but this isn't essential. Maybe a lighting outdoors as the lights around the decking are very dim. Our stay was absolutely perfect and I couldn't rate this lodge and the owners enough! We would certainly stay here again!

  Really enjoyed the stay here, cottage was gorgeous and very clean. However, I felt like we was ignored by the staff, they never checked in on us etc or asked If they could assist in anything. No welcome pack on arrival in terms of local information, pubs and walking paths etc. This was a let down unfortunately for me as we missed some nice places for food etc. Was also rudely awoken around 8:30 by prolonged lawn cutting etc which could have been timed much better. Needs better customer service.

  This was our 1st visit to the Lake District, we stayed in Striding Edge 24-29 July. To stay were pleased in an understatement, it was fantastic which was topped of by the hot tub and the stunning views. There's so much to see and do in Keswick, we walked up Cats Bells, Climbed Scafell Pike. The hot tub was misted welcome after the climb. We visited lake Windermere. Perfectly situated. We will definitely be recommending you to our friends and family. We will definitely be returning next year 5*
