Great stay at a great lodge
We had a great stay at the lodge. It was clean and comfortable with everything you needed for an easy stay. The location is remote but there are so many lovely places around to visit and some great walks and amazing scenery. We only stayed for 3nights but would have happily stayed longer and hope to return. Communication with Julie was easy, who responded quickly to a few enquiries I had. Would definitely recommend!

Our break was over too fast
What a find, the accommodation was spotless in all areas, the location quiet and very picturesque. We wanted a quiet Christmas day this year away from everything and not an organised pub family dinner. We were not disappointed and it may change our choices for the future.We stayed for 3 nights and felt as though it was a real home from home. Even the weather was kind to us, no rain. We all agreed that we couldn't have chosen better.

Quiet weekend getaway
My partner, myself and Juno (the dog) had a lovely stay here. The lodge is peaceful and only 10 mins away from Keswick. We enjoyed a hike up skiddaw and some evenings out locally.
Price and location are perfect, would highly recommend. Julie is very responsive for any queries you may have!

Another lovely stay
This is now our 6th stay at the lodge. As always, we had a lovely and relaxing time. We love the quiet of the site and its closeness to the surrounding areas like Windermere, Ambleside and Keswick. Theres lots of lovely walks near the lodge, which is fab for our dog too.

Fantastic location in the Lake District
We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge on Bassenthwaite Lake. The lodge was spacious and comfortable---well equipped for everything we needed for our three night stay. It was in a great setting, just yards from the water and very quiet. It was well located for visiting other areas of the Lake District, including restaurants and a distillery close by and the market town of Keswick and Derwentwater about 15 minutes away. We would definitely stay here again on a return trip to the Lake District.

Highly recommend a stay here, we will be back for sure!

Fabulous - we will be back
There is nothing I would fault about the lodge, the location, or the whole weekend. We were very lucky with the weather, so we’re able to take advantage of sitting outside with the fabulous view of lake and hills beyond.
Although the lodge is situated on the path down to the lake, it was still quiet enough not to be an issue.
The lodge itself was a great size, with everything you need, and was lovely and clean.
All in all, a fabulous break and we will definitely return.
