About this property
Situated in Appleby-in-Westmorland, surrounded by greenery, is this traditional, stone-fronted home, South Lodge. Just paces away from the lively high street and steeped in history with its location, this four-bedroom property is ideal for a group of eight. You can leave your vehicle in the public car park, which is just a short stroll away, before exploring your home-from-home. Entering the property, you will find an entrance hallway to house your shoes and coats and, on your left, discover the living/dining room. Relax and unwind on the sofa with a cup of tea in hand, as the TV keeps you entertained. When stomachs start to rumble, settle down at the dining table to tuck-into hearty meals, which can be prepared in the contemporary kitchen with the electric oven and gas hob. Afterwards, a dishwasher offers an easy clean-up, so why not venture out onto the wrap-around garden to savour a cold beverage? As day draws to night, retire inside, and opt for a hot shower on the ground floor or head upstairs to relax your muscles in a bubble-bath. When your head's ready to hit the pillow, choose between two doubles and a twin bedroom, all with ample storage and there is a ground-floor double for those with limited mobility. For a wonderful retreat to Cumbria, choose South Lodge. Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 1102399, together sleeping up to 8 guests.

Groundsperson for castle very rude. Owner of castle told us she is in dispute with the owners of the lodge as it should not be rented out and wouldnât allow us on the castle grounds but would have if we rented one of her cottages. Having said that it was a lovely lodge and when the heating went off the caretaker came straightaway and was very nice. Felt we should not have been in between any dispute

Woodland walk on the doorstep, 10 minute walk into the village. Village is small but has all you need and recommend visiting the butchers and the bakers, our son also loved the sweetie shop. The pizza shop is also good. Plenty of space in the lodge and very comfortable. Downside was no washing machine, which would have been good to have access to given we were there 5 days and the weather was temperamental so could have done with washing some clothes. A not cobwebby in places but not dirty. Could also recommend the owners put some hooks on the back of doors for hanging towels etc once used. Overall a really good stay!

Location could have been a bit clearer, people in Castle pointed us to the North Lodge which is a quarter mile from South Lodge,
