Lovely stay, comfortable property - beautiful location. Small site so nice and quiet but no shop so remember provisions. Dodd woods/ summit was great and nearby. Hired a paddle board from a new set up (sup to you) who delivers. That worked really well for us and the weather/wind was relatively kind. The bay was shallow so good for us. Nichol End is also great in Portinscale. Didn’t realise Keswick Mountain festival was on so busy, parking etc - but festival free until 5pm to have a look. Would book again.

We enjoyed 4 nights at the lodge and absorbed the beautiful scenery.Beds were very comfy and the furnishings were generally good.The kitchen pans require replacing and they are scratched so badly. The front door handle is very loose and needs attention!Cleanliness was ok, a lot of cob webs but you somewhat expect.We’d definitely return though

Wonderful place to stay. Place was comfortable and well stocked with what you need. Ideal both as a base for exploring the Lake District or as a place to relax and hang out for a few days. Very peaceful setting. Best place we stayed at on our travels in England.

Me and my family had a lovely stay at this lodge, it was very cosy with beautiful views in a lovely quiet spot. Id recommend to anyone who loves the lakes. Keswick is nearby with beautif derwent water and Dodd wood has a walk where you can reach the summit and get a great panoramic view of surrounding lakes. A lovely place.

Beautiful lodge in a stunning location!

The lodge was absolutely perfect for our long weekend. It was super spacious, 2 bathrooms was great and the fact that we had the lake not even a 1 min walk away was lovely. Would definitely stay here again and perfect distance to some amazing nearby hikes (our favourite of the weekend was Haystacks)!

Had a really nice time here, everything from the lodge to the area.It had a good layout and was very nice and clean, with plenty of storage, and hooks for coats and stand for shoes. Also had its own parking space. The lodge park was also very quiet and peaceful.I had a few questions before our visit and the host always got back to us quickly.A really good location, not far from nearby walks and Keswick town, both by car.Would definitely stay here again if visiting Keswick and would highly recommend!
