"We stayed as a family group of 5 for 4 nights."
The lodge is lovely, very comfortable with great views and has everything you need for making meals. It’s in a great location walking distance from the pubs and shops in hawkeshead. Outdoor furniture is great if you’re lucky enough to get some sun. We all enjoyed it and could have stayed for longer. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

"Superb lodge in a beautiful setting."
Everything we needed for a Christmas break and the kitchen was perfect to make Christmas dinner. The recliner chair in the lounge was my spot for the week! Only thing missing was a hot tub. We will definitely be back, again and again xx

"We had a lovely week staying here as a couple with our dog."
Absolutely everything you need for a self catering stay. Very cosy, great deck when the sun was shining and for an evening drink or two. Very clean and super comfy bed and bedding. Nice little walk to the village. Would definitely recommend

"Lovely spacious & homely lodge in a beautiful location on a small quiet site, loved the outdoor seating area to relax & enjoy the amazing views after a day walking exploring the area, perfect location less than a mile from the village where you can start find plenty of walks & good bus service."
It was our first stay to this area of the lakes & will definitely be returning.

Lodge seems a bit dated, flooring etc, lack of bowls, storage very good, freezer needed defrosting, and fridge not very clean,info needs updating especially pin details for tv, could do with some walk maps in lodge, and grounds definately need maintaining, having said that we had a lovely week and very handy for hawkhead, be aware your postcode sends you past lodges and into a narrow cul de sac that was very hard to turn round from

"Absolutely loved staying here, it was clean had plenty of crockery."
The beds were super comfy and the site was really clean and well kept. I just wish the pictures would do the lodge more justice, it really was a luxurious lodge that we loved staying in.

"Fantastic accommodation in a superb location."
The lodge had everything we needed. There were 4 adults and 2 dogs and there was plenty of room for all. The location was near to Hawkshead with a delightful short walk through footpath and fields. It was also possible to walk down to the lake from the lodge. Will definitely go again

Well equipped and spacious. Dog friendly and ideally suited to access all areas of the Lake District. Hawkshead is a wonderful, friendly village with plenty of amenities. Def recommend the ghost tour on Wednesday nights!

"We go to the Lakes a lot, and always around bonfire night to get our dogs away from all the madness."
We have always stayed in cottages, so this was our first time in a lodge. I have to say this is the best accommodation we've ever stayed at, and I'd always look fo book a lodge first in future. It really did feel like a home from home and because there are only a small number of lodges it feels really private.
The beds and bedding are top hotel quality, absolutely gorgeous. Everything worked like a dream and it was equipped to the best standard, you really couldn't ask for more. Really cosy and the wood burner was really efficient and we didn't use as much wood as we do back home. It's really spacious and the pictures just don't do it justice, we absolutely loved everything about this lodge.
Some kind of bucket or something would be helpful to clean muddy paws, but we cobbled something together to make it work.
Definitely get a supermarket delivery if you can, there were a number of deliveries around us while we were there. Access is really easy.
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this gorgeous lodge to anyone and we'd definitely come again. Thank you for letting us stay in your gorgeous home from home.
Thanks for the lovely review Sandra:-)
Good idea about the bucket, I’ll buy one!

Lovely lodge, great location, only slight niggle some of the window catches could do with adjustment, and the handles on a couple of the blinds missing, other wise an excellent lodge
Thanks for the great feedback Bill, I’ll get the window catches looked at, the missing blinds were being fixed so all good now.

It was very clean and had everything we needed. The location was perfect as we could do a number of walks from the door - really nice not to have to drive anywhere. It was lovely to come back to somewhere so comfortable and warm afterwards.
