Guests that stayed at this property said

Reviewers frequently commend the lodge for its cleanliness, noting it was cleaned to an excellent standard, with no evidence of previous pet stays. This indicates a high level of upkeep and attention to detail.

The location is highly praised for its proximity to Bowness, local shops, and attractions, with guests appreciating the ease of access to the Lake District's offerings. The scenic and central setting is a standout feature.

Guests find the lodge comfortable, with special mentions of comfy beds and a homely feel. The secure decking and pet-friendly nature of the lodge contribute to the overall comfort for both humans and pets.

Facilities like the hot tub are frequently mentioned and appreciated, although there are some minor comments about maintenance issues such as a broken bed and kitchen utensils needing replacement. The quick response to issues, like the kettle replacement, shows good maintenance support.

The lodge's thoughtful touches, such as local recommendations and a bottle of prosecco on arrival, are well-received. However, it's important to note that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be provided for every stay.
