Great accommodation and location. Less touristy than the popular parts of the Lake District. Close to Scafell Pike. Walks on the doorstop with access to the Eskdale trail and very quiet and relaxing.

Stepping inside the property we immediately felt at home, even though it needs a little TLC, housekeeping had done a fantastic job and the place was spotless and very welcoming. The front lounge is a wonderful space that is light and airy, it's large windows frame the stunning views and with it's log burner lit in the evenings you feel totally relaxed sitting on the comfortable sofas after a day visiting local attractions, or walking the many trails surrounding the house. The dining kitchen has virtually everything you need for preparing all your meals if you can tear yourself away from watching the birds! Pleasant bedrooms with comfortable beds make sleeping easy and good water pressure in the shower sets you up for the day. The garden that surrounds the house is secure for dogs and perfect for morning coffee. Very little traffic passes the lodge which makes for a very pleasant stay. If you are looking for a secluded property, but one that is within easy reach of everything this part of the Lake District has to offer then Eskholme Lodge is for you.

Spacious property in a lovely setting, the property needs a some work doing on it, flaking ceiling in the upstairs bathroom, big cracks in the other rooms. As it was only myself staying with 2 dogs I shut off two of the bedroom and the lounge with the fireplace for my stay. The first night I was there I let the blinds down in the bedroom and when I pulled it up in the morning one piece of string broke, as I tied it back together I noticed the blinds were very mouldy, for the rest of the visit I left the blinds up as was worried they would break. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need but it would be nice to have a cupboard spare to put food in. As my dogs got muddy each time we had a 10-20miles walk it would of been handy to have a outside tap to wash them down or a bucket with no hole
