About this property
Situated in Appleby-in-Westmorland, surrounded by greenery, is this traditional, stone-fronted home, South Lodge. Just paces away from the lively high street and steeped in history with its location, this four-bedroom property is ideal for a group of eight. You can leave your vehicle in the public car park, which is just a short stroll away, before exploring your home-from-home. Entering the property, you will find an entrance hallway to house your shoes and coats and, on your left, discover the living/dining room.

As day draws to night, retire inside, and opt for a hot shower on the ground floor or head upstairs to relax your muscles in a bubble-bath. When your head's ready to hit the pillow, choose between two doubles and a twin bedroom, all with ample storage and there is a ground-floor double for those with limited mobility. For a wonderful retreat to Cumbria, choose South Lodge. Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 1102399, together sleeping up to 8 guests.

Woodland walk on the doorstep, 10 minute walk into the village. Village is small but has all you need and recommend visiting the butchers and the bakers, our son also loved the sweetie shop. The pizza shop is also good. Plenty of space in the lodge and very comfortable. Downside was no washing machine, which would have been good to have access to given we were there 5 days and the weather was temperamental so could have done with washing some clothes. A not cobwebby in places but not dirty. Could also recommend the owners put some hooks on the back of doors for hanging towels etc once used. Overall a really good stay!

Location could have been a bit clearer, people in Castle pointed us to the North Lodge which is a quarter mile from South Lodge,

We had been looking for a holiday home which had room for 6 adults and a child but most importantly had ground floor accommodation for my mum who has poor mobility. South Lodge was the perfect place for us. The lodge itself is situated a short walk from the town centre and has private parking (we had 3 cars) which is accessed through a gate. All the rooms are bright and spacious, many with views to the castle grounds next door (including the local rabbits). As this is an older building with sash windows, we sometimes found the living room a bit colder but the gas fire soon took the chill off. The kitchen is a good size and has everything needed for our stay (we were cooking Christmas dinner here) and is well-equipped. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at South Lodge and can recommend it to anyone looking for a private home to spend time in lovely Appleby.
