Totally dog friendly with a secure garden with a variety of wildlife to watch. Location was excellent, five minutes walk to the lake rudyard and a fantastic pub also situated there. Recommend the Sunday carvery. Had a lovely stay at kipling lodge and a bonus was the hot tub, which was perfect after a day's walking.

Everything you need for self catering, comfortable beds and hot tub just is the icing on the cake that is cleaned and maintained each day. Guys that own lodge are amazing, friendly, welcoming and helpful when needed. This is the only accommodation we have booked that is exactly as described and pictured
