Beautiful location, very easy access to Keswick and a few good routes around. Burnside park has a lot of good lodges and we have stayed many times however this lodge was out dated in our opinion. There was not enough hot water for a bath, the dishwasher doesn’t clean the dishes and the washer dryer doesn’t dry the clothes and makes the whole lodge shake. When we arrived there was a little smell in the lodge but nothing that the air freshener that was left couldn’t fix. The water pressure of the shower was a bit disappointing but still did the job. The lodge would be great in the summer but the insulation is not good for the winter.

Very cosy Lodge which is in a lovely quiet location (loved listening to the owls at night!) but also only a short walk from Keswick town centre. It had everything we needed for the two of us plus our German Shepherd Lady and we will be back again.
