“Overall a comfortable lodge.”

Difficult to have to set all the timers on the electrical appliances before using as all electricity was turned off and lodge only 15 degrees on arrival. A simple guide would be better than the original booklets that came with cooker, microwave, heaters etc. Settees not the most supportive to sit on. ...

Difficult to have to set all the timers on the electrical appliances before using as all electricity was turned off and lodge only 15 degrees on arrival. A simple guide would be better than the original booklets that came with cooker, microwave, heaters etc. Settees not the most supportive to sit on. Beds very comfortable but pillows too thick. Would have liked an Option of thinner pillows, had to use the ones of settee to sleep on. Guide for water heater needs updating on folder. The washer dryer was a bonus as the write up only said there was a washer. Otherwise a great location and setting. Easy to walk to Keswick town centre.

“Tutheren is a particularly well equipped lodge with very comfortable beds.”

Burnside park is a well maintained, quiet site in a very convenient position. Although there is some traffic noise from the A66, it's far enough away to not worry us. We felt safe and found the covid compliance to be sensible without going over the top.

“Such a peaceful area with everything we needed.”

No issues whatsoever and the pictures don't do it justice! Will be coming back.

“Tutheren was warm, comfortable and extremely well equipped.”

The situation was splendid, being secluded and quiet but only a short distance from town - if I were younger and fitter I would have walked it! We did enjoy watching the birds from the lovely deck, especially the pheasants looking to be fed. The lodge was splendidly equipped with games, books and DVDs. Enough for a wet fortnight! in fact, everything had been thought of. Keswick is a friendly small town in a fabulous setting, with a very good open-air market twice a week. Derwentwater is very beautiful, with lots of easy walks. And the Lakeside Theatre is an added bonus. We went to one performance there(very good) and twice had a meal in their lovely restaurant overlooking the water. In fact, we enjoyed everything so much that we are already planning another visit next year. Must also say that the girls in the office were extremely helpful and friendly. The only thing that wasn't playing ball was the weather, but even that was better than forecast and there is plenty to do in Keswick, rain or shine. So thank you for a lovely Autumn break!

“A lovely cabin, with great amenities, in a stunning location.”

My only negative was the lack of recycling facilities on the site. We ended up bringing a black bin bags worth of dry recyclables back home to Suffolk.

“An extremely well equipped lodge with unexpected extras such as walking poles and bird food to top up the feeders.”

DVDs books and games for both adults and children were in good supply. Very comfortable beds. Well placed for going into Keswick and exploring the Lake District and an excellent child friendly pub with good food within easy walk. We've booked for next year already!

“Tutheren was not only a great accommodation it was a brilliant location to visit all parts of the Lakes not only Keswick.”

“The pictures do not do this little lodge justice!”

It was a lovely stay and there were lots of little extras to make our stay lovely. We only had a couple of tiny niggles, one is there wasn't a heatproof mat to put the hot pans onto and the second is that a flat sheet would be beneficial in the master bedroom as the memory foam mattress was very hot to sleep on.

“Excellent property ,everything included for a self catering holiday, great location , peaceful , enjoyed the view and feeding various birds that visited .”

Keswick is lovely town and a short walk away, but would use the car for carrying the essential supplies beer ,wine ,milk and food and only a short drive to the local co-op .Had great weather ,no rain ,so a bonus visit .Would recommend.

“In the main we enjoyed our stay at Tutheren.”

We were also so lucky to have sunshine every day even with a cool breeze. It is in a great location despite the traffic noise from the busy A66. We found the main living area to be spacious and comfortable although personally we are not keen on leather seating as it feels chilly - but that is a very personal choice and I took a throw to cover the couches. The TV worked fine. The kitchen eating area was perfectly adequate as we only made breakfast each day (cereal or toast). I left the kitchen sink cleaner than I found it. The general cleanliness was adequate but there were cobwebs and the cabin window sills and openers were not clean. The veranda was not too clean or the furniture, so perhaps nobody had stayed the previous week? On arrival it all felt rather chilly but we got the heating going and it soon felt warm and comfortable. We found the bedrooms to be a squash to be honest and it was hard to find a mirror to actually see yourself clearly as the pine walls and ceilings together with the poor lighting gave the place a bit of a gloomy feeling, which also made it difficult to read anywhere. I was expecting hotel quality bedding for the price we had paid but it was not. You have to keep the blinds closed either side as the neighbours cabins were very close by and therefore you could see into each others cabins. That was not a big issue for us but again it kept the light out. The bathroom was small but the shower was good. We are older so would have appreciated a rail of some sort within the shower cubicle. We appreciated the bird food tubs on the veranda and enjoyed feeding the birds each day and watching their antics closely whilst having breakfast. We thought the key collection worked very well. A lot of the above comments have been raised in previous reviews. Tips: We enjoyed the food especially at the George Hotel though the portions were enormous and they catered well for gluten free customers. If you go into Keswick to eat in the evening around 6.30pm - 7pm you can park on the opposite side to the key collection office on Station Street for free, without paying heavy car park fees. We found it probably best to book your evening meal in advance as we did have a struggle to get in anywhere one evening, so pre plan is our advice. Keswick as always is lovely and we can also recommend a drive to Pooley Bridge (car park £8), sail on Ullswater to Glenridding, and go for a light lunch in the fantastic surroundings of the Inn on The Lake, then sail back again. Lovely! All in all we enjoyed our Keswick holiday.

“Burnside Park is lovely and quiet and in a very good position for going into Keswick and further afoot.”

Tutheren was perfect - very comfortable and cosy. My only comment is about the listing - it may be helpful to mention that there is no Wi-Fi (not a big deal !!) and that there is a dishwasher. Otherwise, we hope to be back. Thank you.

Dr Brown September 2018

“The lodge cabin was impecable when arrived and everything we needed was there.”

Little and not so little items as extra blankets, duvets, pillows, all kitchen utensils and plenty of crockery and cutlery. All electrical appliances were in perfect order and very pleased with the double bed mattress (tempur) many thanks for that too. There were many films and games to use which we didn’t have time to try just a couple. A perfect location for climbing skiddo and to Keswick just a short walk. Thanks for making the lodge such a great holiday place.

“Great holiday”

The lodge is very close to Keswick town centre only 15 mins walk. Ideally located for climbing Skiddo no car needed. The cabin had everything we needed and all appliances were in perfect condition. It was superbly clean when we arrived and had plenty of games and dvds for entertainment. I must say the double bed was very comfortable with a memory foam mattress. We had not sleep so well in ages. The views from the terrace where superb, very peaceful with loads of birds around. We will definitely book it again. Parking was ample too.

“A place I could live in permanently”

This was our first holiday for a number of years and I was nervous we had picked the right sort of accommodation... I had no need to worry, from opening the door I felt immediately like it was a home from home and both myself and my husband said we could live somewhere like thi all of the time. Stunning views from the balcony. Also the agents were exremely helpful.

“excellent standard of lodge”

The lodge itself was excellent and the owner has clearly thought of all the needs. Bedrooms a lovely size and the deck area was fab for the kids. Cannot fault lodge at all. Only thing that let it down was the location. With 2 small children crossing over the busy road was a worry.
