The lodge was located in a beautiful area, nice and tucked out of the way and we woke to beautiful views (& sheep) every morning! We was fairly close by to alot of attractions and only a minute drive from lake Windermere. The cottage itself was lovely, had everything you could need for your stay. The only thing I would say itâs that there could have been a few more fire logs for the fire for an evening as we had to limit it them to make them last for our stay. Lots of memories made and our dog loved it too! Overall our stay was very pleasant and the location of the cottage was perfect for us and we very much enjoyed our time there. Also great touch having a list of recommendations of places to visit

As in the welcome pack it was stated that there would be a visit on a Monday and Friday morning to check the hot tub unfortunately nobody came on Monday morning whilst we were there by Wednesday we felt restricted by the amount of water in the hot tub although it didn't stop working for us,also the views were amazing and walks around the lanes were quite breath taking
