Lama lodge is an ideal getaway venue providing you are capable of walking a short distance into Hawkshead village ! Weather permitting, the facilities are ideal for relaxing, having a drink, bbq or sitting round the fire pit.The lodge is well appointed, a versatile microwave/grill/oven, a 2 plate induction hob, a spacious fridge, good WiFi. The only downside for us was no freezer facility, but that was only a minor hiccup, all in all, a good place for a Lakeland’s break !
