  This is the second time we have stayed at The Lodge.

  It is absolutely beautiful there. The cottage is extremely comfortable, clean, spacious and cosy. We love walking and there are amazing walks on your doorstep! The hottub is great after a day of rambling and there is a small patio area in the back garden, which is lovely to sit upon and look at the beautiful surrounding hills. This time we got to take our dog with us and he loved it there just as much as we did! The White Hart pub is just a 10 minute walk away from the cottage and is lovely to sit outside with a drink, they also have seating to the rear of the of the pub. If you take a short drive to Greenodd, they do amazing fish and chips there that stay warm until you are back at the cottage. Hawkshead is one of favourite places in the Lake District, from here you can climb Latterbarrow, there are two routes up this hill, one is quite steep but the other is much easier but do take care. The views are beautiful when you get to the top. Be sure to also look at the walks in the guest book at the cottage - the owners have included some great ones in there! All in all, the owners of this cottage are great! Nothing is too much trouble and are always on hand to help. I can't imagine anyone not loving their stay here. We will certainly return again!

  Overflowing with charm and character

  If you're considering booking The Little Cottage, by all means, do. The pictures and video simply do not do it justice. Perfectly charming and cosy, The Little Cottage an incredible local art collection. It's as if you're staying in a gallery, minus the stuffiness. The owners have clearly poured heart and soul into every detail, and it doesn't go unnoticed. If you're interested in Beatrix Potter, the cottage is also home to a collection of discrete character paraphernalia, from Squirrel Nutkin references sprinkled throughout the house to an endearing selection of character garden sculptures in the back garden. Excellent (and responsive) heating in winter, comfortable beds, and well stocked and appointed kitchen and amenities. The boot room with drying rack is a plus, as is the star gazing-friendly hot tub. Take care with parking if you're in a large vehicle, as parking is tight (for long vehicles) and can take some maneuvering, as with many areas in the Lake District. Otherwise fantastic location close to Ambelside and Grasmere. Take note the owners' recommendations in the welcome book in the cottage--they've many spot-on recommendations for the area. Prompt and clear communication with Dan the owner--we'll be returning!

  Lovely cottage on the southern side of the Lake District.

  The Cottage is decorated to a high standard, with a modern fully equipped kitchen and bathroom. The underfloor heating was nice and hot. Nice touch to have a pint of milk waiting for us (and a bottle of red wine). The hot tub was great and nice to sit on the decking having a coffee in the sun. The owners supplied plenty of towels, so you dont need to bring any. Tea towels, toilet role and kitchen cleaning stuff provided, which was a pleasant surprise. The only downside is the dog friendly approach. Not the owners fault, but clearly some customers have had their dogs on the settee. When we arrived it smelt very doggy for a few days. The rug in front was worse, so we removed it up onto the mezzanine area for the week. A few more coats hooks by the door would be useful. There is a cupboard in the bedroom containing the cleaning stuff, again it smelt so we removed the mop. Maybe having storage outside would be better and this could be converted into more storage space. I am being picky, but if you are not a dog person, this could ruin your week. Not the owners fault, so a message to all you other renters, please abide by the rules and make it 100% for all.

  Outstanding ..

  It’s been said but The Little Cottage is a unique find, it’s quality of finish is genuinely exceptional and Dan made the entire experience from first enquiry email, through the booking process to post holiday a real pleasure. The cottage is beautifully appointed, it’s facilities and quality of every element are just a cut above. The garden is a delight and the hot tub welcomed. Everything is “as new” and every pot pan, utensil and appliance of exceptional brand and quality. My family and I visited in August, 2 children and dog, and whilst it is a cottage it’s use of colour, furniture never and it’s clever outside room and space never left us on top of one another. The area itself is idyllic a true find in the U.K. and walks, cycling and water sports are all on your doorstep. The Britannia Inn which is a minute from your door serves superb food and has a quiet happy buzz about it and you get to people watch all the days day walkers making it down from the numerous passes that meet in the village. What can we say 5 stars all the way..

  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What a wonderful place and wonderful people.

  When my partner first shown me this place I nearly ruled it out due to having young children 1 and 4, I thought the out door space may have been an issue. I am so glad we decided to book as it was not an issue at all, was amazing and our children loved it, such a sense of space, playing freely on the grass, meeting the farm animals and even feeding the lambs which our daughter absolutely loved. They gave us lots of ideas for days out we could do in the area with the children which was great and we enjoyed some great family days. And when their day was done and fast asleep, we could spend our time relaxing in the hot-tub admiring the views and cozying up on the couch with a glass of wine and amazing cheese board from a shop they recommended in cartmel (so delicious). I would definitely recommend staying here the properties are immaculate, the people are lovely and the balance of time with the children and for ourselves was perfect. We will definitely be returning.
