We spent Christmas at the lovely wind hall ennerdale cabin! The lodge itself was very well equipped, managed to cook a 3 course Christmas dinner! Hot tub was perfect after a long walk with the dog, the host Sarah was very helpful, as was her lovely mum who we met whilst staying there. Beautiful views, local village was ok - because of Christmas hardly any shops was open so did struggle a bit for a few essentials but that’s no fault of the lodge, that’s just because it was Christmas, had it have been a few days later we wouldn’t have had issues. Loved the welcome pack on arrival with bacon, milk and eggs I thought that was a lovely touch, would recommend wind hall lodge to anyone - so much so my mums already looking to book herself! Thanks for a lovely stay, we will 100% be back!

We stayed for a long weekend at the end of November! And even with the weather not being amazing , we definitely had an amazing time! The views from the front door were amazing, watching the sun rising over the mountains, with horses playing right next door! The owner had left, bacon, eggs & milk for us in the fridge for when we arrived. Along with everything we could imagine needing! What an amazing stay we had! We will definitely be back!
