excellent room, nice, tidy and spacious. The Bed was super comfy! Loved the drying unit outside our room door for all our wet gear in the fells - Got it dry in a few hours. Spoke to reception for some more coffee/hot chocolate and when we came back after evening meal, they were outside. Wouldnt hesitate to stay again

We had a great room that was that was perfect for our short stay. The room was clean and comfortable, with a large on-suite. The extra space was needed as we traveled with our dog. The property has lovely grounds to explore and it’s close to pubs. I highly recommend this property.

What a beautiful location , spent many hours gazing from our balcony , absolutely stunning scenery , they is a dog owners paradise , straight out the cabin onto beautiful lawns and fields , and mostly safe path to Ambleside apart from a stretch of about 100 mts , which is on the road , but managed well . The cabin itself is a very large clean room , huge comfortable bed , short balcony, which is safe , , large walk in shower cubicle , we asked for a fan because it was so hot , it was delivered in five minutes , overall the stay was exceptional ,

A beautiful setting however poor lighting in the car park made it difficult to find our lodge. Didn’t like the musty smell of the room and the reception lobby was quite drabby and dis not look clean.
