Tracy
A brilliant lodge, we have been coming here over 4 years now .Has everything you need on holiday ,great for our dogs as decking is enclosed .A short walk 5mins takes you to the Pheasant Inn ( very dog friendly ) then 2mins and your into Fitz park and a short walk into town .Brilliant Location for 6 min drive to Dodd wood and Mire house as well .The lodge sits in Burnside Park which is beautifully kept .Your are on the doorstep to the fells & Derwentwater. As the owner of 2 Spaniels, Acorn Lodge is perfect as its out of the way from the busy town centre but close enough to walk to park etc .Would highly recommend .Thanks Tracy ,Gary ,Loki & Cooper .
