The Lodge

Lovely cottage in a wonderful setting, the cottage was very clean it had everything we needed, although a fan would have been useful.

The hot tub was amazing, we would definitely recommend the lodge as a place to stay.

It was a lovely cottage and the views outside the cottage were stunning.

The only thing tjat was dissappointing was tje shower which wasn't very hot more like warm even though we boosted the hot water gauge. The other thing was the hot water from the kitchen sink which didn't come out of the tap very well it just ki d of dripped. I did get in touch with the landlord Ian who was very helpful but I think it was due to the pressure in the area as the cottage is remote. Loved the hot tub after long walks! The log fire was a bonus too!

This was our second visit to the Lodge as we love the accommodation and the area.

It is a lovely, peaceful location and has everything you need including a comfy bed. We really appreciated the wine, milk and little touches like the complementary toiletries (there is always something I forget). The hot tub is wonderful and is really the icing on the cake. We will definitely be back and highly recommend it. Many thanks to owners and maintenance crew as it was spotless. ❤️

Lovely cottage, sadly situated on a main road way to a large caravan park, frequented by many walkers with dogs and caravaners, cottage appliances noisy (freezer crackles in night, radiators that popped, up stairs water tank which is very nosey 3.

00am onwards, which woke us up). Log burner been made up for our use, but no facilities to light it. Hot water pressure in the kitchen was very poor. Otherwise the facilities where sufficient, jacuzzi was amazing, stunning views.

We have just had the most relaxing stay at this beautiful cottage.

We had everything we needed and more. The bed, although a standard double was comfy and clean. The hot tub was an absolute game changer. This wasn’t something that we’d normally be looking for but wow, it was amazing to come back to after a walk. The dog enjoyed it too with plenty of room for him to mooch and with so many lovely walks from the door step, he’s had a fab time. Although he was plagued by ticks from the grassy fields so be prepared for tick season. I was concerned by some previous comments regarding the lane to the caravan park going past the cottage but this was not an issue at all. All in all, this is a beautiful home that has everything you need for a relaxing break. We will certainly be there again.

This was our third visit to The Lodge.

Great new bathroom with a walk in shower and under floor heating. The whole Lodge is excellent and a real delight to visit. The hot tub was incredible to relax in after a days walking. We will definitely be returning and would recommend this location to friends. The owners were easy to contact should there be an issue. 10/10 on all scoring.

Beautiful lodge.

The location was lovely and very private, we were lucky enough to have clear skies and the stars were wonderful. The lodge had everything you need, it was very clean, and parking was easy. We would definitely stay here again.

What a fabulous little gem to find!

With such an amazing location and great access to anything we needed. The log/coal fire in the evenings with a movie on will be hard to beat! The hot tub.... well that's in a world of its own, after a long day hiking that was just brilliant. We also discovered the pie and pint night at the White Hart (local pub) one of the best pies I've ever had hands down! I also cant leave out the fabulous Sunday roast at The Swan in Newby Bridge. All in all, this stay was exactly what we needed to relax and reset ourselves and we will definitely be returning in the future! Thank you for an amazing stay away.

What a treat this beautiful little cottage was!

This was our first little holiday away together as a couple and it was SO perfect! Set in the beautiful countryside, it was clean, modern but still had a lovely cottagey feel.. a lovely big squidgy sofa in front of log burner which we fired up every night, beautifully comfy bed, and a lovely warm bubbly hot tub to come home to and stargaze after a day out hiking.. The kitchen was clean, stylish and fully kitted out with everything we needed, including a dishwasher (who wants to wash up on holiday!) and washing machine. The bathroom had underfloor heating which was ideal for getting towels dry after hot-tubbing, and a lovely big shower.. All bedding, towels, and complimentary toiletries are included and there was even a welcome bottle of wine and a box of local fudge waiting on our arrival.. The whole cottage is beautifully decorated and looks amazing inside and out.. We thoroughly loved our stay and would come back in a heartbeat.. The owners were lovely and very helpful and easy to contact if needed.. This cottage is a firm 10/10 and we would highly recommend it.. ❤️❤️❤️

We stayed at The Lodge for Christmas week and were also incredibly lucky to have beautiful weather which really showed off the views from the accommodation.

We found the heating system a little noisy in the morning but ear plugs would work for light sleepers. Having said that the cottage was lovely and warm which made it very cosy. Also the fire place and hot tub were big selling points for me when looking for a place to stay, and they did not disappoint especially after lots of walking and making it festive for Xmas eve and Xmas day night. Our final night the sky was completely clear and we could see all the stars whilst relaxing in the hot tub which was a great way to end our stay. The kitchen is so well equipped and I was even able to make a full Christmas dinner for us both which I was nervous about in a kitchen that wasn't my own, but it had everything we needed. The cottage was really clean and felt modern, yet in keeping with the Lake District charm. I'd certainly recommend it to friends and family and would stay again. It was in a nice quiet location, yet a short drive from all things we needed. Many thanks for all the small touches too. We loved our stay and it contributed to a wonderful, calm Christmas. Wishing you well for 2026 and anyone reading this you will not be disappointed so get booking!

This accommodation was absolutely perfect!

! It had the best equipped kitchen I've ever seen at a cottage. The hottub was ready to use and the couch was super comfy. An ice cube tray was the only thing we missed, but we managed to find some ice cubes at the shop at the holiday park down the road. We would love to come back :)

Just enjoyed a fabulous week at The Lodge.

The accommodation is clean and well looked after. Also the reassurance of knowing the owner is happy to be contacted in case of any problems. The hot tub was great after a day out walking, not overlooked so no trunks no problem! I recommend a visit to The White Hart, nice ale and great food. If you're returning after dark a torch and some high visibility clothing is a good idea. Fond memories.

this was our second visit to the lodge.

we love its location and the single level open plan accommodation. the hot tub is a definite plus point but the garden isn't the most dog friendly. it's safe but not ideal for a quick toilet trip in the morning or if your dog needs to go in the night. the lodge is well equipped and comfortable but the shower is not hot enough even on the highest setting. overall very nice place

We have just spent a week at The Lodge and it was absolutely fantastic.

It was so spacious, clean and everything was there to accommodate our stay, with many added extras and touches. The area was great for lovely walks with our dog right on our doorstep also with nothing being to far away when exploring and visiting places, everyone we met was friendly and polite. The mobile fish and chip visit on a Saturday at Black Beck was a nice treat for a chippy tea! Waking up and having our coffee on the outdoor seating area with breath-taking views and gorgeous sunshine was lovely as was seeing the butterflies on the bush the cattle in the fields also the farmer bailing. Great communication & welcome pack with milk and wine in the fridge which was appreciated. At the end of our busy days and visiting places of interest the hot tub was an added bonus to relax in and enjoy. I have never slept so well which boosted my well being whilst being able to enjoy the fresh air, relax and enjoy this holiday. Thank you so much for a wonderful and delightful 5 star stay. Kind regards Lisa. August 2025.

What more can I say!

! The lodge is perfect in every way!! Lovely and clean, spacious, perfect location!! Would highly recommend!! We are definitely coming back next year!!

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location, quiet & peaceful.

The cottage was both spotless, comfortable & well maintained.

We loved our stay at The Lodge.

When we first arrived everything was lovely and clean plus the welcome pack of milk and wine was appreciated. Overall it is well equipped and placed in a beautiful part of the world. We found lots of lovely, level walks on our doorstep which our elderly cocker spaniel loved. Plus it is a great base to check out other attractions in the area. The hot tub is the icing on the cake, lovely to relax in with a glass of wine. Plus it is well maintained. If, like us, you are looking for peace and quiet, love birds and wildlife and looking to get away from it all then this is the place for you. We cannot thank the owners enough for sharing this gem with us. We liked it so much that we have already booked for next year!

We had a wonderful stay at the Lodge.

Highly recommend. Wonderful location, everything we could ask for was provided. We found the Lodge to be warm and very comfortable and the hot tub was a welcome bonus after long hilly walks. Would definitely return.

We had a lovely weeks stay at the Lodge, and on first entering the cottage, we couldn't fault it, but as we got more settled in the cracks started to appear, the hot water tap in the kitchen was an absolute pain, if you put it on full the water stopped coming out, so you could only open it slightly, it was quicker to boil a kettle, the internet wasn't really usable, it was very intermittent and streaming was a no go, the double bed was tiny, and we aren't large people, I slept on the sofa a couple of nights, and lastly, I tried to puff the pillows up on the sofa and the amount of dust that came out gave me an asthma attack, I would like to return but if these things are fixed, for the amount of money you pay, I would have hoped there wouldn't have been any of these faults.

Excellent!

!!

Myself and husband came to stay stay at the lodge to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary this weekend.

The lodge was located in a beautiful area, nice and tucked out of the way and we woke to beautiful views (& sheep) every morning! We was fairly close by to alot of attractions and only a minute drive from lake Windermere. The cottage itself was lovely, had everything you could need for your stay. The only thing I would say it’s that there could have been a few more fire logs for the fire for an evening as we had to limit it them to make them last for our stay. Lots of memories made and our dog loved it too! Overall our stay was very pleasant and the location of the cottage was perfect for us and we very much enjoyed our time there. Also great touch having a list of recommendations of places to visit

The lodge was stunning & comfortable with absolutely everything you need .

set in a ideal location for local walks & great pubs

As in the welcome pack it was stated that there would be a visit on a Monday and Friday morning to check the hot tub unfortunately nobody came on Monday morning whilst we were there by Wednesday we felt restricted by the amount of water in the hot tub although it didn't stop working for us,also the views were amazing and walks around the lanes were quite breath taking

Lovely little property and very well equipped, the weather was against us from the start with storm Lillian, so we made the decision to come home 5 days early so didn't get to do what we wanted.

We would definitely go back to the Lake district to see what we didn't

Wonderful cottage and so central to visit all the places around.

We had fantastic weather when we were there and the dog loved it too. The hot tub was great to chill out in as it was getting dark. Definitely recommend and will definitely book again. Thanks Ian and Julie xx

Amazing stay!

The Lodge was a cosy and idyllic space. We enjoyed the outside space too! The property has all you need for a fantastic stay!

Absolutely loved this Lodge , clean, comfortable, everything there we needed , hot tub amazing after walking everyday , only a short drive to Bowness and Ambleside.

Lovely views also . First time to Lake District and so glad we stayed here , best location ever much preferred to the hustle and bustle experience In the more well known regions. Will definitely be back next year and thank you Ian for the processco and milk provided for us on arrival

A great place to stay, some lovely walks all within easy reach & the hot tub was a nice treat after a day out exploring, would definitely stay again

This is our 4th stay at The Lodge and again it was a lovely stay.

Overall we have no complaints as everything is as described and will certainly be back. However, there was an issue with the pressure of the hot water in the kitchen and that needs addressing. The bedding was lovely clean and fresh but the throw at the end of the bed could maybe do with a freshen up as it had a smell of dog. Overall we had a lovely stay and would always highly recommend the lodge as it’s beautiful and great base to explore the Lakes.

We had a lovely short break at The Lodge.

Very clean and well equipped and the owners were responsive to our queries. There is an entrance to a caravan park adjacent with some passing cars as mentioned in other reviews, but that did not bother us. We appreciated the proximity to local towns and villages whilst also feeling like it was an escape from hustle and bustle. There are a few nice walks on the doorstep and we enjoyed watching the sheep from the kitchen window waiting for the kettle to boil. The log fire was lovely and the hot tub is a bonus after long day out walking and exploring. We are used to a super-king bed and this was only a double - one night I slept on the sofa to have a bit more room but that was the night my Garmin gave me an 'excellent' sleep score so I can vouch that the sofa was comfortable too!

Lovely little lodge with everything needed for a cosy romantic break, nice modern and spacious bathroom, bedroom was cosy and we slept well, kitchen and lounge area has high ceilings and some nice little touches throughout, the chess set and range of games were a nice y and the log burner was lovely to use on a cold night in January and the mezzanine was nice little extra surprise.

Didn’t get to use the hot tub due to the awful weather but would have been a welcome luxury after a hard days climbing. The stars on a night were awesome, will definitely be returning!

Amazing relaxing break from me the mrs and dog.

Would absolutely recommend and we are booking again. Little things like what the owners provide on top is so help full. With the location just making things so easy.

Lovely comfortable cottage, well equipped with all the kitchen equipment you would need, plenty of towels too.

Logs were provided for the fire aswel as coal if needed but could do with something better than cigarette lighters to light it, like a safety gas lighter. Hot tub was great but could do with some kind of overhead cover so it's useable when raining. On the down side the economy 7 water heating was very noisy during the early hours of the morning and the hot water pressure was very low and we only managed a small trickle of water from the hot tap in the bathroom. I would advise to take torches as we had a power cut for one and have hours on one night and the neighbouring cottage said it was very common and always happens. Short walk to the White Heart pub which is worth a visit and lots of other places to visit nearby.

Had a lovely weekend here, would definatley book here again.

So good we have booked again

The property was warm, but lacked comfortable chair or sofa.

The existing sofa was a bit grubby and smelly. However the rest of the property was generally in good order. We could not open the top drawer on the freezer because it was iced up. The passing traffic entering and exiting the caravan park can be a bit loud. However the stand out feature is the hot tub, which more than balanced out, any negatives.

we loved this dog friendly, very clean cottage.

enjoyed walks directly from the cottage and is a good base to explore windermere, Ambleside and our favourite, grasmere. we would also recommend roanhead if you like a good dog friendly beach. the local pub is friendly and we can recommend the Sunday dinner which is served both lunch and evening. the hot tub was a welcomed addition after long walks the only slight niggle was being at the entrance to the caravan park. we always search for isolated cottages which this was listed as such. it is isolated but traffic in and out of the caravan park detracted from that a bit. didn't spoil anything though. we would definitely use again

This was our second visit to The Lodge at Bouth and we will definitely be returning again in the future.

Everything was top quality with lots of information about local walks, pubs and facilities near by. Being able to relax in the hot tub after a long walk just added to the holiday. Thank you so much for a fantastic holiday.

Lack of hot water pressure was the only down side

The accommodation was great, the added extras provided by the hosts are such a wonderful touch.

The property is in such a good location for so many destinations and is a great base. We had the best time and would definitely return.

Wonderful cottage, very peaceful!

An ideal base for exploring The Lake District! We feel very relaxed after a long weekend here!

Cannot wait to stay there again

Incredible little cottage.

We had such a warm, comfortable stay. Everything we needed was at hand. So clean and tidy. We made the lodge our home for the weekend and, if I thought I could afford it, would be putting an offer on the property. Perfectly sited, the Lodge comes highly recommended to anyone and everyone.

Cosy well furnished and decorated romantic retreat.

We loved the peaceful area and views from the cottage windows lots of walks available on the doorstep ideal location for touring the lake district.

A really nice place, ideal for 2 (and a dog) , clean and tidy and warm and welcoming - good facilities and everything we needed

We had a wonderful week at the lodge, it was so peaceful and the location is perfect for exploring the lakes.

The lodge has everything you need for a comfortable stay and the hot tub and log burning stove were perfect after a day exploring. Despite the fact we stayed in January I would have liked to have a table and chairs in the garden outside to sit and enjoy the views and read but it didn't take away from our experience which was 5 star ⭐ we will definitely book again. Thank you for all your help too with our queries which were answered promptly. We recommend booking the lodge as you won't be disappointed.

We had a fantastic week in this beautiful property over Christmas.

It had everything we needed, and more. The lodge was easy to find, had a fantastic location, it was so well equipped, comfortable and cosy!

We loved our stay at the lodge.

Fab surroundings and beautiful place. Hot tub was lovely and some amazing walks nearby and further afield. We would definitely return in the future.

Beautifully presented property, everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Beautiful location for nice walks. Down side was the Internet connection was poor and kept cutting out during our stay, streaming films on the TV was interrupted and mobiles kept loosing connection, we had no mobile service in the area so relied on it to contact relatives when in the property, the central heating wasn't quite enough given we came this time of year and it reached -8 at one point, we didn't have control of the central heating but could do boosts with the electric heaters and fire once I practiced how to use it lol, the hot tube wasn't at temperature for the first night but got to use for the rest of the week with no issue, good communication with the owners who were helpful and prompt, overall lovely property just got caught out with the cold and snowy weather

A fantastic property, top end facilities.

Hot tub a sheer delight! Loved the dishwasher too. Super warm and hubby mastered the art of fire making ! Lovely walks from the front door or a short drive away. A great week.

Beautiful lodge in perfect area but could do with a good clean.

The bedroom floor was dirty. There was white dog hair everywhere even though you have a no dog policy on furniture. bathroom needs updating. The fire and hot tub were great.

Lovely place we had a great time we will be back

We had a really lovely stay in the lodge and would definitely go back again, very relaxing with everything you could need and made even better by the hot tub.

A beautiful place to stay with great facilities.

Helpful and responsive owners (the kettle broke and a replacement was sourced in a few days). A thorough guide in the property with walks, tips on where to visit and eat.

The property is in a good location,,everything we needed in the property a few minor issues, but this did not spoil our stay, lovely view, hot tub was very relaxing after our days out, overall good.

I cannot thank you enough for letting us stay at your Cottage.

The location, view and inside the property was outstanding, there was everything you would need for an enjoyable stay. It was just perfect. Can't wait to stay again.

Very comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Only 2 minor gripes, the patio set atop the stairs in the garden was rusty, broken and unusable. Also the mop and bucket were stored damp in the closet, creating a mildew smell within the bedroom on arrival, this was easily fixed by placing it outside, a small point but important for first impressions. Overall a comfortable, enjoyable, problem free stay, hotub was fantastic.

Lovely stay at The Lodge, fantastic location, the lodge has everything you could possibly need, the hot tub was fantastic although it was slightly too hot for us!

There’s some fantastic suggestions for walks provided which was great. Overall a fab stay and we’ll definitely be looking to revisit in the future.

This is our second time staying at The Lodge.

It was like returning to an old friend. Well equipped. Comfortable. With beautiful views. Away from the hustle and bustle but with everything on your doorstep. We toured mainly on the western side this time. Not to be missed. Thanks to Ian the owner when we had a power cut.

A lovely lodge which is fully equipped for everything you need during your stay.

The Lodge is in an ideal location in the lovely village of Bouth with a friendly staffed pub. Close to all the areas we wanted to visit including Windermere and Coniston lakes. This was our second visit to The Lodge and we will certainly be back.

Lovely welcome pack to greet us on arrival.

A very clean, comfortable and well presented cottage. The location is ideal for walking or touring the lakes. The White Hart and Huntsman's Lodge are both friendly and worth a visit. Close to Lakeside and Bo'ness for Windermere tours. Will definitely visit again.

Stayed here a few times, highly recommended.

This was our 2nd stay at The Lodge, which had been modernised since our last visit, new radiators and wall mounted TV, etc.

The cottage was spotlessly clean and very warm. The kitchen is very well equipped so you can cook full meals ... if you want to! Loved the personal touches of wine, milk, and toiletries. We did 4 of the walks in the visitors book as well as a few of our own, including Hellvelyn! We arrived in a storm then had another during our stay which affected the areas power supply, including the cottage , the owner could not have been any more helpful, keeping us updated on information as to when the power would be reconnected, a lovely gentleman who lives behind the cottage also checked on us as did the man who cleaned the hot tub! We had a perfect stay and will definitely return for a 3rd visit!

Well we will definitely be back.

Absolutely stunning accommodation which was far better in the flesh than online. Beautifully positioned in an amazing landscape you couldn't ask for more. Myself and my partner loved climbing the mountains and after finding a warm cosy pub for a well earned pint and food there was no better place to come back to for 100% relaxation and recuperation with the hot tub and fire. Very private and quiet a little gem .

Love this place - we have been back for years now and each time it’s a wonderful little break away.

Love the quiet location and the lovely little touches from the owners. Nothing better than getting into a hot tub after a beautiful 10 mile walk in the Lakes!!

Perfect, thank you!

Had a lovely time and will definitely book again as well as recommend.

Our 2nd stay at The Lodge, we love it here and can’t wait to come back already!

Thank you for the wine, coffee and milk. The hot tub was lovely to relax in after long walks enjoying the lakes! Thank you x

Location was perfect, not to far a drive to anything.

Pub up the road provided lovely home made food. Hot tub was great after a day out. If I'm being picky, the shower was small, bed too hard for my taste. All in all we had a perfect stay, even the weather didn't put us off.

what a fantastic cottage, it was so clean and it had everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay.

the hot tub was clean and warm and little touches like leaving a bottle of wine and some milk in the fridge was really thoughtful. would recommend it to anybody who wants a a relaxing comfortable break in the stunning lake district, loved it

Main living area was bigger than expected which was a nice surprise and it was spotlessly clean everywhere.

There is also a good mezzanine area for storage. Hot tub and outdoor area were an absolute delight with stunning views from outdoor table. Think worth making it clear there is a small but well used road that leads to the caravan park, it wasn’t an issue for us and was lovely and quiet at night but quite busy in day. Double bed quite small so very little room to move about and shower door was rather fragile, often coming off it’s runners, again not a big issue but may bother some. Garden could do with a little TLC but we don’t mind the natural look. Overall a lovely relaxing place to stay

Fantastic place to stay.

After a long day of walking the hot tub was just perfect for relaxing. I would recommend the lodge to anyone as it just exceeded our expectations.

A beautiful cottage.

Excellently positioned for walking and exploring. We had a great week

The Lodge at Bouth was an incredible location to stay in The Lakes.

The property was superbly presented with excellent facilities. The hot tub was a delight after walking for the day. We will definitely be revisiting.

We'd been looking forward to going to The Lodge for well over a year (Covid don't you know.

) We weren't disappointed. It is lovely. Waking up in the morning to that view was just incredible. I could live with some more of that! You'll need to book well in advance if you want to experience The Lodge because once you've been you'll want more.

It was so peaceful and a gorgeous setting , it did rain but did not put a dampener on our holiday , the cottage was even better in true life to the photos .

The lake district is such a beautiful place. Lots to visit and see in all a truly wonderful place to have a holiday.

The cottage was cosy and comfortable

A lovely cottage in a great location, it had everything we needed with some little personal touches of prosecco and milk being provided :)

The lodge was as detailed.

It was clean, comfortable and well equipped. The hot tub was very welcoming after a long day of walking. The location was perfect for visiting Lakes Windermere and Coniston. I would definitely recommend this lodge to family and friends

Amazing place !

Beautiful location and Lodge looks fantastic. We had a lovely time. However, Lodge was not clean. When we arrived, there was an empty juice bottle left under the table, the sofa area particularly dirty - i dropped the TV remote under the sofa and it was covered in filth when I picked it up. Hot tub was great but few jets kept falling out

Amazing views from the cottage with many beautiful walks/ runs on your doorstep.

Cottage itself is well kept with everything you need. Will be going back

We loved everything about The Lodge , it's in a lovely setting with beautiful scenery, has all the home comforts you could wish for, very clean, the log burner and hot tub were the highlights for us xx

Gorgeous cottage with everything you would need for stay, hot tub and wood stove were well hammered in between lovely walks.

Communication with the owner was good and informative, great location, the milk, wine, tea and coffee that was left was much appreciated, will definitely recommend this cottage.

Really enjoyed our break-away to The Lodge.

Everything was very well laid out and plenty of useful information, you can tell the owner's have put in the extra effort to make your stay more enjoyable. Would definitely recommend to others.

Fabulous cottage.

Very comfortable and home from home. Had been concerned with other reviews but am pleased to say the cottage was very clean and the hot tub very well maintained and immaculate. Lovely location. Great to be with the sheep but equally very handy for main roads to Bowness-On-Windermere and Coniston. The sofa is really comfy and very relaxing in front of the log fire. We loved this cottage and am sure we will return.

Everything was perfect!

The place was really cozy, nice and clean. Hot shower, heaters, fire place (with logs and coals provided) and the hot tub. We really love the place and will definitely revisit it again :)

This is our 2nd stay at The Lodge and loved it again so much we are already looking to book our 3rd stay.

It is so cosy and comfortable with everything you would need to make any stay perfect. The hot tub is accessed from the bedroom which gives you that extra privacy, in fact the whole area is so private and quiet. The local area is great for walks with the dog and the local towns are great for shopping. I can’t rate this cottage highly enough.

This is our third time staying at The Lodge and it won't be our last!

We love it's comfortable and homely feel as well as it's wonderful location which made for some breathtaking views in the frosty mornings. We whole heartedly love it here and will definitely recommend it for a couple's retreat! Can't wait to return!

Been here twice now and we love this cottage, it's so cozy, romantic & the views are fab.

Lovely kitchen, log burner & hot tub. Excellently located for exploring the lakes. We will be going back.

We had a lovely stay at The Lodge - the hot tob and log fire made it extra special.

..

We had a fantastic time when we visited The Lodge, the pictures on the internet are very accurate.

The Lodge was extremely clean and very well equipped, there was even milk in the fridge and a complimentary bottle of wine. The hot tub was just gorgeous after a long day exploring! We enjoyed the location as we were able to get out and walk with our dog through the countryside, there was a pub within walking distance and even an ice cream farm in the village, although we did drive to that. Our only slight annoyance was that the road that runs past The Lodge leads up to a lovely caravan park, however the road can be quite busy and a little noisy first thing in the morning, but to be fair we soon got used to it. All in all, we had a fantastic holiday and we would visit The Lodge again.

Lovely time spent here, the cottage was very spacious and clean.

Nice and quiet, there is a caravan site down the road but no problems at all. Very easy to find with some lovely walks very close by. Will definitely look at coming back again!

Lovely cottage on the southern side of the Lake District.

The Cottage is decorated to a high standard, with a modern fully equipped kitchen and bathroom. The underfloor heating was nice and hot. Nice touch to have a pint of milk waiting for us (and a bottle of red wine). The hot tub was great and nice to sit on the decking having a coffee in the sun. The owners supplied plenty of towels, so you dont need to bring any. Tea towels, toilet role and kitchen cleaning stuff provided, which was a pleasant surprise. The only downside is the dog friendly approach. Not the owners fault, but clearly some customers have had their dogs on the settee. When we arrived it smelt very doggy for a few days. The rug in front was worse, so we removed it up onto the mezzanine area for the week. A few more coats hooks by the door would be useful. There is a cupboard in the bedroom containing the cleaning stuff, again it smelt so we removed the mop. Maybe having storage outside would be better and this could be converted into more storage space. I am being picky, but if you are not a dog person, this could ruin your week. Not the owners fault, so a message to all you other renters, please abide by the rules and make it 100% for all.

The Lodge is perfect.

Right on the doorstep there is wildlife, sitting outside you can watch all manner of birds flying across the causeway. A short drive takes you to the lakes and mountains. However there are some fabulous walks right from the front door. The hottub was great after some of those long walks. Just to say the cattle grid was not an issue. Will be returning.

We chose this lodge and its location to celebrate our Ruby wedding anniversary.

A beautiful lodge in an amazing location. Clean, comfortable and idyllic.

We had a relatively enjoyable weekend.

The accommodation was excellent and what we expected it to be. However, I have now come to realise that 'dogs welcome' does not necessarily mean 'dog friendly'. There was practically no outdoor space for our dog and what there was wasn't secure. There was constant traffic to and from the caravan site - which we knew nothing about until a week before the holiday - not only did the vehicles go back and forth over 2 cattle grids, it passed within 2 metres of the windows. 6 metres away was the passing road which was busy with cars travelling a minimum 30 mph and certainly many travelling a lot faster. Certainly not the secluded lodge we were led to believe it was. All said the weekend was okay, just not as relaxing as we thought it would be. Fairly it was between 'failed' and met our expectations.

This is the second time we have stayed at The Lodge.

It is absolutely beautiful there. The cottage is extremely comfortable, clean, spacious and cosy. We love walking and there are amazing walks on your doorstep! The hottub is great after a day of rambling and there is a small patio area in the back garden, which is lovely to sit upon and look at the beautiful surrounding hills. This time we got to take our dog with us and he loved it there just as much as we did! The White Hart pub is just a 10 minute walk away from the cottage and is lovely to sit outside with a drink, they also have seating to the rear of the of the pub. If you take a short drive to Greenodd, they do amazing fish and chips there that stay warm until you are back at the cottage. Hawkshead is one of favourite places in the Lake District, from here you can climb Latterbarrow, there are two routes up this hill, one is quite steep but the other is much easier but do take care. The views are beautiful when you get to the top. Be sure to also look at the walks in the guest book at the cottage - the owners have included some great ones in there! All in all, the owners of this cottage are great! Nothing is too much trouble and are always on hand to help. I can't imagine anyone not loving their stay here. We will certainly return again!

This was are second time staying at the lodge and it was just as good as the first.

We will be back soon for a 3rd visit.

We both absolutely loved the cottage!

The hot tub under the stars was the highlight of the weekend! The complementary bottle of wine and milk was a great touch too! Already recommended to friends and family!

The Lodge is a lovely little cottage and had everything we needed.

We would be happy to stay there again.

Great cottage, lovely and cosy.

Free wood and coal is a great touch. Lovely to get in a get a quick cuppa with the tea, coffee and milk that is there waiting for you (little things like this make a great and long lasting impression). Surroundings are great, many walks are close by. Couldn't ask for more.

We spent every evening in the hot tub under the stars.

Just perfect

We had a wonderful stay at the lodge.

Everything we needed for a peaceful break. The location is perfect & felt secure. Relaxing in the hottub under the moonlight was a real treat. Having the woodburner on made the evenings very cosy. Excellent views of the surrounding hills Highly recommended. Many thanks.

Our second visit, perfect little getaway, would definitely recommend and will definitely be back!

Fantastic cottage and location.

So peaceful with everything we needed for a fabulous break. Will be booking again hopefully very soon.

Great location.

.. coniston and lake Windermere very close. Ulverston good for booths supermarket . Highly recommended.

Had a great week.

.. Lovely Cottage with beautiful surroundings and a perfect base to explore the Lake District..The Hot Tub at the Cottage Caps it all off..Kind regards.. Susan and Alan

An absolutely stunning little cottage, very well presented and equipped to relax after a days adventuring the fantastic walks.

A relaxing dip in the hot tub to the dance of the log fire. Overall a fantastic little place. I will most definitely look at returning.

First impressions were disappointing.

On arrival the hot water supply was insufficient with a slow trickle out the tap which fortunately was recifyed by my husband as he is a plumber. There wasn't any firelighters or newspaper to light the log burner. The hot tub was luke warm. We informed the owner of our findings and we were informed that the water in the hot tub may have been changed and would increase in temperature over the next few hours, which is fair enough but it would have been useful to have be informed of this information. We felt our other concerns were disregarded. We eventually managed to light the log burner using some toilet paper! There wasn't any safety gloves available when using the log burner as specified so had to use an oven glove. The logs were detailed as being included in the rental and then were asked for a contribution to keep the log store asesthetically pleasing, when there was only one shelf partially full not all the shelves as seen in the photos.The cottage its self was comfortable and in a good location to visit the lakes but unfortunately these niggles over road the positives. We've stayed in several lodges but unfortunately this wasn't our best experience and for us it lacked any wow factor!

Cottage was imaculate.

kitchen well equipt plenty of worktop space and great appliances. Lovely & warm, quiet peaceful location.hot tub AMAZING! Very comfortable and relaxing.excellent condition and quality fittings.Fell in love the moment we arrived and booked our next stay that night! A home from home very sad to leave.

A lovely lodges.

It would be perfect for couples with a dog. We took our 3 month old baby and a small dog found the layout a little difficult with putting the little one to bed as the back door (to hot tub and courtyard) is in the bedroom. We would definitely go back if we were childless. It is a gorgeously decorated place with everything you need and more. The couple who own it really do go the extra mile to make the stay comfortable and relaxing. 10 out of 10.

The Lodge is now our favorite cottage to have stayed in.

It was a beautiful building in a great location. The interior was spotless and had everything you could have asked for. The owners have thought of everything from fresh kitchen clothes, new towels and explained everything well in the welcome book. The TV had Netflix, Amazon and Now TV which was excellent. They had plenty of coal and wood for the fire and I agree that replacing some of the wood was a reasonable request. The hardest thing about being at the cottage was having to leave. We loved every minute and would like to thank the owners for their cottage and Sykes for arranging it. Will be back as soon as possible.

A most lovely cottage set in a beautiful location.

.could not fault it at all..only downside was that it was not suitable for those without transport,no public transport nearby apart from a long walk along a very busy dual carriageway...had a fabulous holiday and will certainly return to the lakes,but with accessible transport links.

this cottage has it all, very comfortable and cosy, the hot tub was super, lovely walks from the doorstep, we loved it and would love to return in the future,

Already re-booked this cottage for later this year!

Lovely, well appointed cottage.

Perfect for our first family holiday with young baby. The woodburner and hot tub were added luxuries, once the baby was asleep. Only thing I'd suggest is a sharper cooking knife.

Lovely little cottage, perfect for a lake distric break for two.

Having the hot tub and log burner to come back to was a dream. Even milk and a bottle of wine left as a welcome gift from the owners. Fantastic break despite the very soggy weather!

Everything we needed was provided and the kitchen was well equipped.

The Lodge is beautiful and we loved the hot tub and log burner. We would love to come again.

Lovely cottage, lovely location.

Very welcoming, private garden with hot tub. Would certainly book again.

Gorgeous little cottage!

Loved every minute of the peacefulness the hot tub the roaring fire! Its tasteful decor value for money.!I would highly recommend it to friends. Thank you x

Property was very clean, comfortable, well equipped and finished to a high standard.

Log fire fuel included in the price and complimentary milk and bottle of wine when we arrived. The owner provided all the information required etc. An excellent location, remote but only a few minutes drive from main roads or a short walk from the village pub. Hot tub in small but private garden was great. There is also a small patio up a few steps which gives lovely relaxing views. Thoroughly enjoyed staying here and would highly recommend.

Fantastic little cottage.

In an ideal location to visit so many beautiful places. Could not have asked for a better place!
