"Lovely lodge and stay yet again."

So sad we had to cut it short due to a family emergency. Will be back most definitely.

"A very enjoyable week in a well equipped lodge."

View from breakfast table to the hills was wonderful. It was only a 15 minute walk into Keswick and only 5 minutes to the Pheasant Inn where we had 2 lovely meals. The description mentions central heating but this was in the form of electric wall mounted heaters. Moving the table around for more than 4 people might be a bit challenging. You can get buses from Keswick to the main towns in the Lake District on a regular basis and they were always on time.

"Excellent location of site shame cabins are so close to each other spoilt it for us sitting on patio hearing neighbours talk ."

Could watch next-door TV clearly and see lady washing dishes. Not good. Small bedrooms okay for us might be awkward for family and my double bed had very sharp wood corners easily bashing of leg when walking around bed to get by window again not good. But lodge views to hills were superb rooms were clean well equipped good information pack and email information door locks on code no key to worry about losing. Overall we would recommend as almost perfect to enjoy the lake district from and would definitely be interested in booking again soon.

Burr Ghyll is one of 37 similar cabins on Burnside park - it is not completely secluded however we have always believed that the space is comparable to other lodge sites. A couple of the outside images in the property description show the adjacent lodges. Poor lady having to wash up whilst on holiday! Just as well Burr Ghyll has a dish washer. Property Owner

The lodge has great views towards Latrigg and Skiddaw.

I'm glad you enjoyed the views! Sitting on the decking with a cup of tea in the morning or a G&T in the evening looking out is hard to beat! Property Owner

"A very comfortable and well appointed lodge in a quiet location with a great view of Latrigg."

We enjoyed the variety of birds on the feeder and the wildlife in the field which included red squirrels, rabbits and, on one occasion, a deer. An enjoyable and relaxing holiday, despite the mixed weather.

Thank you for your feedback - glad that you got to see some of the wildlife whilst there. The view of Latrigg and Skiddaw is always beautiful whatever the weather!. Property Owner

"Absolutely loved our stay and didn't want to come home."

Lodge has everything needed for a relaxing break in The Lakes and fitted our party of 4 well although is kitted out for 6. Short walk to Keswick meant car could stay put. The views to Skiddaw range were amazing with a sense of achievement after walking them direct from the door. Great to see how the weather impacted the look of the scenery. Loved the visits from the birds - including the pheasant and watching the 3 random sheep and horse. Would have no hesitation in recommending Burr Ghyll and I'll definitely be looking to stay again.

Glad you enjoyed the view in all weathers! Property Owner

"Lovely Lodge with the most amazing views of the mountains."

Well equipped with everything you would need. The site is in a very good position for visiting other places in the area Ambleside,Cockermouth,Derwentwater etc Walking distance from Keswick. My daughter even walked and climbed to the top of Skiddaw from the lodge and back. We had a brilliant time hope to be back.

Sounds like you did a lot of exploring! Not yet had time to climb up Skiddaw, perhaps next year?!! Property Owner

"Another super stay in this lodge cabin ."

Everything and more you could possibly wish for could be found in the kitchen . Well kept and cared for throughout. A comfy living room and bedrooms. But of course the main selling point of this lodge is the decking area and the views of the surrounding hills can't be beaten . The location of the park is ideal for anyone wanting gto explore the area. Thank you for letting us stay here again . We will be back.

Glad you had a good stay. This cabin has one of the best views on the site, and we never tire of the views - beautiful in all seasons and most weather! Property Owner

"Mostly the lodge was alright but share a previous review that the 3 piece suite could be updated."

Also the duvet on the double bed should be replaced as it was noisy when there was any movement which I found a bit annoying . Having said that we all enjoyed our holiday and wish to thank you .

The duvets in Burr Ghyll are all 3 in 1 feather/down type duvets. We inspect all our bedding regularly and replace when/if damaged. Likewise, we inspect our furniture regularly. We stay ourselves several times a year in Burr Ghyll and the lounge suite is extremely comfortable (even reclines) even if it is aesthetically old fashioned. Property Owner

"An excellent holiday lodge."

Nicely positioned within easy walk of Keswick facilities, yet on a small quiet site with great views of the fells and good parking. A couple of neighbouring "energetic" kids were tamed at the start. Refurbished to a high standard the lodge had all the facilities you would ever need, with a comprehensive guide on use of all equipment. We will definately return and recommend Burr Ghyll lodge. Thanks

Thank you for your feedback. Generally it is a quiet site, although it is popular with families in holiday season. I would like your tips on taming children as I might be able to use on my own! ;) Property Owner
