This is a beautiful spacious cottage in a lovely quiet out-of-the-way location. The kitchen is large & well kitted out, and the fires + stove make it very homely of an evening.

The Lodge was a lovely location and provided us with the escape and rest we really needed. It was lovely and clean, beautiful kitchen and garden and we had plenty of space for us 2 and our 2 golden retrievers. It was very central but remote. The only slight comment we would say and this is slight, is that maybe the sofas and bed (double) could be a little more comfortable, one of the sofas springs were under the cushions and the mattress was not brilliant BUT this did not stop us enjoying the beautiful location, beautiful cottage and garden. Lakeland Hideaways as always (we have booked with them before) were excellent and responded promptly to our requests regarding help with the boiler. All in all we had a brilliant restful holiday. Wished we could have brought the cottage and garden home with us! :-)

We really enjoyed our week at The Lodge. The location is perfect; so close to the lake and away from the crowds. A few finishing touches required maybe.
