Couple of small things with the fire not working and a light fixture not fully attached to the wall but this did not effect the stay at all and is something maintenance could sort easily. Hot tub was checked daily to make sure it was up and running properly and at the correct chemical balance. Stunningly place
Nichola
The lodge was amazing & clean. It had everything you needed, a home from home. The added extras were a nice touch, towels, coffee, tea etc. The outside decking was safe & secure for our small dog. The Hottub was lovely & clean. Overall an outsanding lodge with even better views. Couldnt of asked for anywhere better to unwind after a day of exploring the lake district
Anne-Marie
