We enjoyed our week based at Lama Cottage. We found two disadvanteages;1. The location - on a narrow and busy road wthout footpaths into Hawkshead or to reach off road walking. Could also do with a mirror to asist driving out onto the road as the property is on a bend with very poor visibility to the right.2. Disappointingly the gates were not attached so there was nowhere safe for a dog to be off lead.Otherwise Lama Lodge was as we anticipated and a good central point for exploring the area.

Lovely small place with everything we needed for a short stay. The toilet was clean and comfortable, and the bed was as well. It’s about a 10-minute walk to the bus station, and while you’ll need to take a few buses to reach different locations, it’s manageable.
