Lovely lodge. Light, bright and modern inside. Comfortable beds. Good strong shower. Both bedrooms quite spacious- in some of the other 2 bed lodges the second bedroom can be very small. It's a pet friendly lodge with laminate flooring throughout and no cosy rug in the living area but soon got used to that.Short walk into all the amenities of keswick town centre via the delightful park. Pub nearby, The Pheasant, does good food but usually best to book ahead. Quiet site with fantastic views of Skiddaw and Latrigg. Well equipped generally- we didn't find any coat hooks so hung walking coats on back of dining table chairs, not a problem in the great weather we had, but might make floor a bit soggy if weather poor!

Been to this site around 12 times over the years, this cabin is one of the newer one's on the site, found it to be light and clean with some nice views of the surrounding country side, the site it self is quiet which suits us well.We would definitely book this cabin again hopefully later this year or next year.
