Guests that stayed at this property said
The lodge generally receives compliments for its cleanliness, with several guests finding it spotless on arrival. However, there are a few reports of cleanliness not meeting expectations, including dog hairs and dirty mugs, which slightly lowers the score.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to local attractions and the ease of access to the Lake District's beauty spots. The ability to walk to the lake and the convenience of nearby towns like Ambleside and Bowness are frequently mentioned as positives.
Guests find the lodge comfortable, with special mentions of comfortable beds and a cosy atmosphere. Some guests, however, have noted issues with the sofa and single beds, which affects the overall comfort score.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the lodge being described as well-equipped. Nonetheless, persistent Wi-Fi issues, a broken bathroom door, and TV connectivity problems have been a source of frustration for some guests.
The lodge owners have been commended for their thoughtfulness, with mentions of a welcome pack and provisions for dogs. It should be noted that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.

It was spotlessly clean throughout. Couple of minor issues. The sofa is a bed settee but isn't comfortable to sit on without putting cushions under the main cushions. It could do with a piece of thick foam putting under the cushions. The TV was quite difficult to use and didn't work a lot of the time. Thankfully we took our own firestick. One half of the toaster doesn't work. There is damp starting in the corner of the main bedroom wardrobe. We would still book again.

However there were a couple of minor issues regarding maintance of appliances on arrival to the lodge, firstly the extractor fan power button was broken so was unable to use it, and secondly the toaster was on its last legs, in that you had to stand and hold the levers down as they were unable to lock into place. A bit of a inconvenience really (but not the end of the world). All in all a very enjoyable stay. I do understand if no one reports these issues the owner if unlikely to be aware. Hope these issues get sorted for future visits Karen hyde
