Snaptrip says

Burlees Nest in Cockermouth receives high praise for its cleanliness, tranquil location, and well-equipped nature. Guests appreciate the quiet setting, modern amenities, and the lodge's proximity to local attractions. While most reviews are positive, a few guests noted issues with comfort and maintenance, but these are exceptions in an otherwise commendable set of reviews.

Guests that stayed at this property said

The majority of guests found the property to be spotless and well-maintained, contributing to a high cleanliness rating. However, one review citing a significant cleanliness issue with dog hairs and odour slightly lowers the score.

The location is frequently described as quiet and ideal for exploring the north west lakes area, with easy access to local amenities and attractions. The peaceful setting is a consistent highlight among guests.

While many guests found the lodge comfortable and cosy, a few mentioned that the sofa and mattress were not as comfortable as they would have liked, which slightly impacts the overall comfort rating.

The property is praised for being well-equipped and providing all necessary home comforts. Some minor feedback on specific items like a potato masher and lighting suggests room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.

Several reviews mention thoughtful touches such as wine and milk, which guests appreciated. However, as these gifts are not consistently referenced across all reviews, it is not possible to guarantee their provision for every stay.

About this property

Broughton 1.1 miles. Resting in the Brigham Holiday Park in Brigham, Cumbria is Burlees Nest, a well-presented lodge offering all the home comforts you need for a relaxing break. Ideal for couples or small families, the lodge provides a compact yet well-equipped space which is perfect all year round. Entering the property, the open-plan living space invites you to kick off your shoes and settle in to watch TV with your loved ones while the electric fire gently warms the space. From here, take advantage of the stylish kitchen and rustle up mouth-watering meals for your group to enjoy at the dining table. In the warmer months, throw open the patio doors and let some fresh air in, or make your way out onto the decking to savour your morning coffee in the crisp air. When sleep calls, head to the bedrooms to rest your eyes; the lodge hosts a king-size with an en-suite basin and WC and a twin, both with plenty of storage so you can unpack your belongings. Completing the lodge is a fitted shower room, perfect for rinsing off after an adventurous day.

  • Marek

    The living room was bright and cosy, perfect for relaxing. Comfortable beds and a well-equipped kitchen made our stay easy. Loved the location - close to beautiful spots like Whinlatter Forest and convenient for supermarkets and restaurants. Would definitely recommend!

  • Joan

    Very comfortable stay on a secluded and very private and well kept site. (Never met the site manager). Instructions for TV ( could not find normal BBC/ ITV channels) and electric fire (manual operations would not override settings) are required. Only things missing (as other guests had stated were provided) were our bottle of wine and carton of milk!!! Otherwise, happy bunnies.

  • Wendy

    We throughly enjoyed our stay. Nothing was to much trouble we had a small problem with the gas the day after our arrival and it was sorted within the hour. Would definitely recommend this property.
