Wonderful stay at Dodd lodge. Great location at the foot of Skiddaw, with bassenthwaite village and short walk/drive away. The lodge had everything we needed; comfy beds, clean, newly fitted bathroom and a kitchen well stocked with al the utensils we needed. Worth noting that the lodge doesn’t have WiFi, this certainly didn’t bother us, it was nice to have a digital detox! We would love to come and stay again, it the perfect spot for walks in the north lakes, away from the bustle of Keswick

Lovely mobile home in a quiet, peaceful location. Like a 'home from home' with everything you'll need. Lots of walks on the doorstep and Keswick not far away. Would definitely recommend and we hope to be back!
