Guests say
Guests have had enjoyable stays at Forrest Lodge, praising its stunning views, peaceful location, and well-stocked kitchen. The lodge is modern, cosy, and conveniently located near Cockermouth with its supermarkets and local shops. While some maintenance issues were noted, such as a non-working shower and oven, the owner's responsiveness and compensatory gestures were appreciated.
The lodge is generally described as clean, but there were comments about dusty blinds and mould on shower sealant, suggesting room for improvement in cleanliness.
The location is highly regarded for its stunning views and proximity to Cockermouth and the Lake District, offering plenty of activities and amenities within a short drive.
The lodge is considered comfortable with ample space, cosy furniture, and effective heating. However, the mention of only one small pan suggests some limitations in kitchen comfort.
Facilities are well-received overall, but there were issues with a non-working shower and oven. Speed humps also need repairing. These are fixable issues that once addressed, would enhance the experience.
While guests appreciated the owner's responsiveness and the provision of an air fryer when the oven was out of order, there is no mention of gifts, so it is not possible to assess thoughtfulness in terms of gifts.

Had plenty of cleanliness issues or the lack off when we areived. The lodge smelt really bad of dampness it had obvious signs of an issue. The smell did not go away the full time we stayed at the lodge wich was 4 nights, even with the windows open at all times but night. There was a very large stain on kitchen floor. first thing you see opening the door very off putting. We disnt sleep well as the mattress was very uncomfortable and lumpy. The owner is aware of the issues as well as the caravan site its on as i spoke to the site manager and she said that the owner was aware but finding it difficult to sort the problem maybe as they live down south and dont visit the lodge. its a pitty about teh many issues as the lodge sits in a lovely peaceful setting. I could nit stay at the lodge again as the smell of dampness was so bad. Even though i emailed both company booked through cottages.com and the. caravan site, nothing was done to offer us another lodge or offer us a refund nothing . very disappointing, especially when individuals are aware of what needs done ro the lodge but hapoy to keep hiring it out

We booked Forest Lodge as we were meeting friends in Keswick and it was convenient for there. The lodge was fine, but it does need a bit of maintenance outside and in.

Bad points: No public footpaths to go out and explore had to drive everywhere, vehicles driving in and out all the time our dog kept barking, shed at rear of lodge used by park staff drove lawnmower past our parked car not very private! Beds were uncomfortable.Good points: Very nice lodge clean and well equipped, wonderful scenic views dog area was a bonus somewhere to let our dog have a run.Ps Could do with WiFi
