We stayed here for 3 nights over a weekend and had a lovely time. The lodge we were in is similar but slightly different to the photos - it was on a lake and also had a log burner as well as a hot tub, this was a bonus for us. The lodge was lovely and cosy, very clean and nicely decorated - felt more luxurious than other similar lodges Ive stayed in in the past. It was spacious and we felt it was very good value for the price. It was a great base, we visited keswick, grasmere, rydal caves and ambleside which were all within an hours drive. Only small thing was that the lights in the hot tub didnt work which made things dark on a night time but it didnt really affect us too much. Were definitely planning on returning again soon!
