Building was big enough for our family of five, very clean and tidy. The facilities in the lodge were very good and it was much more than we expected - it includes every little thing that a family needs for a few days of holidays - unbelievable. Private car park for Tarn Lodge was really big and spacious. Kitchen includes every thing for cooking and washing. Bedrooms are nice and comfortable. Bathroom, shower room and toilets are very clean. Hot tub was very relaxing and the kids enjoyed it so much. Wi-fi is also very good (our experience - most of the lodges in other areas do not have wi-fi, or have wi-fi only in reception area). The scenes around the Tarn Lodge were amazing - including the small lake at the back. There was quite a lot of sense of nature - ducks, birds and rabbits around the house, and the kids were so happy to see them. Staying in Tarn lodge was way better than staying in a good hotel, and the charge was worth paying. 100% recommended.

Spacious, clean, well thought out with windows and doors everywhere to take in the great view of the tarn . It is well maintained and there is even a very friendly member of staff who came to check the hot tub was ok . Plenty of logs for the wood burner too . We had a pair of visiting ducks and saw pheasant, deer, and birds of prey during our stay . Easy access to Bowness and Windermere . A great place to unwind and explore the surrounding countryside. Highly recommended.

Just had a weeks stay at tarn lodge and would recommend to anyone. Beautiful surroundings, peaceful and relaxing. The lodge itself is spotlessly clean, modern and extremely well equipped. The jacuzzi is an absolute bonus especially after a days walking , hidden away at the side of the lodge, giving total privacy. My only criticism would be the bed in the double room which can be made into 2 singles is quite uncomfortable. We look forward to staying again and would not hesitate to recommend. Thank you
