  • "On arrival around 8pm the key was not in the key safe."

    after a 6 hour drive with a three year old you don't need that. The fridge was warm as it was set to minimum. The freezer wasn't switched on, so also warm. The dishwasher was broken.The gas cooker hob and oven didn't work. The toilet in the ensuite was blocked. There was so much clutter and tat in the property we had no where to put any of our things. Plates cups etc were dirty. The only hand soap was in the kitchen. There were so many scatter cushions on the beds when you took them off to get in to bed there was nowhere to put them out of the way. The hot tub had no chemicals in it after using it twice the water was dark brown and stank. No effort was made to visit this everyday to check the water and change the filter / add chemical to it. It made our bathing wear stink. There were no instructions how to use that. Or the washing machine, or the dishwasher, or even the heating. The outside gate glass door didn't latch properly and when it was pushed home correctly overnight it opened again and banged in the wind. This wasn't our choice of property as we booked number 8 originally which we found backed on to the one we had. We were dismayed to see the owners of our property repeatedly visit the one we had previously booked and subsequently had cancelled, they evidently are 'managing it' along with many other properties on the same site, there was no one staying there which has annoyed us no end as that is where we wanted to stay to start with. Given this I doubt very much we will ever book or recommend this booking site ever again. The Park itself was well kept and ideally located.

  • "It’s a beautifully decorated property and having the hot tub is an added bonus."

    It had everything in the kitchen for a comfortable stay so we could see a lot of thought had gone into it. We appreciate the broken bed being replaced so that we could sleep properly but it would have been nice not to have that in the middle of our stay. The freezer has fungus in it and the fridge wasn’t overly clean. There was leftover bread and biscuits in the kitchen containers but they weren’t sealed so we weren’t sure if it was accidentally left behind or not. It might be an idea to move items in the cupboards into one or two areas so that guests have space to put things? Overall though a lovely place to stay.

    Dear Theresa, Thank you for the feedback the fungus was a slight bit of rust which has now been replaced . I am glad you enjoyed your stay. Angie and Chris Property Owner

  • "It was excellent."

    The owners rung me back and when I needed questions answered they answered. The lodge was beautiful and was everything and more beyond what I expected. Thanks so much.

The property

A and C Lodge is a lovely holiday lodge resting in Hesket Caravan Park just outside the Lake District National Park.

With a smart interior where sophistication meets attractive home design, this property will have you and your loved ones feeling like you've truly entered your own home rather than a holiday retreat.

As you turn the key and enter your new home away from home, you will be warmly welcomed by the smart open-plan living, kitchen and dining area with a stylish decor.

For the chef, there is a well-equipped kitchen with all the tools one would need to whip up a home cooked meal worthy of the name, for those who want to put their feet up, the spacious sofa invites you to do so with your favourite shows on the Smart TV and for when you all gather round the dining table, there is plenty of room for the four of you to enjoy some friendly conversation as well as a crisp glass of white.

The summer months will implore you to take advantage of the hot sun in your own private decking area, strategically placed to make the most of the sunshine, as well as enjoy a wind down in the hot tub.

Once your day is done the gentle, inviting bedrooms will see you to your rest before giving you ample space to get ready the next day in the en-suite shower or a soak in the tub.

If you can pull yourselves away, there are pubs, museums, castles, shopping, walking and cycling routes all nearby with The Dukes Head Inn, Penrith and Eden Museum, The Lanes Shopping Centre and Quarry Banks Nature Reserve just to name a small handful.

You are also a short distance away from the picturesque Lake District and the Windermere Lake which hosts Stagshaw Gardens, Rydal Cave and Surprise View for panoramic views of the lakes.

For a remarkable stay in Cumbria, book your stay at A and C lodge.

About the location

ARMATHWAITE

Carlisle 10.2 miles; Penrith 11 miles; North Pennines AONB 11.3 miles.

The attractive, unspoilt rural village of Armathwaite is ideally placed for exploring the Lake District, Eden Valley and the lovely coastline of the Solway Firth. The village has two old pubs, both with popular restaurants serving excellent food, a village Post Office and a traditional village shop. The River Eden runs through the centre of the village, and the area is renowned for its excellent salmon fishing, plus walking, canoeing and climbing. Armathwaite Castle, by the river, is a four-storey Pele Tower, and the 15th-century church has fine examples of stained glass windows. The Eden Gorge, between Lazonby and Armathwaite, is one of Cumbria's best-kept secrets, and is well worth exploring. The local railway station is a stop on the Settle-to-Carlisle Railway, which is one of the most beautiful railway journeys in Britain, and where today many old steam trains still wend their way through some of the finest countryside in Britain. The Rheged Discovery Centre in Penrith is the "largest grass covered building in the country" or you might like to visit Dalemain Historic House, featured in a television production of Jane Eyre. The town is within reach of the Lake District National Park and the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, providing guests with many mountain biking, hiking, and birdwatching opportunities.
