Really lovely lodge. Very spacious and well equipped. Very safe for dogs on the decking. Only feedback I would offer is that it would be useful to have a visitors information pack, with details of recommended local shops/pubs/takeaways etc. Ample parking next to the lodge and a great grassed area to the side, although wasn't secure for the dogs. Perhaps adding a little fence at the end of the lodge would be useful to keep the dogs and small children safer as its quite close to the road. Had a lovely week overall and would book again 🙂

If you want to stay in a quiet, pretty location in a high spec home then the Woodland is for you. I brought our family together here to celebrate my husband's 60th Birthday and was very impressed with the accommodation. We wanted peace and quiet in a lovely setting within easy reach of the Lake District and this was it. I would recommend staying here and would choose it again. Welcoming but not overwhelming with a pub close by if needed.
