  The improvements to the bed were great with a new mattress and the living room looks really smart with new carpets & a new rug. Loved the Christmas touches, such as the festive cushions & tree :)

• "The accommodation was very clean when we arrived with a nice touch with the a bottle of bubbly and chocolates."

  Views from the lodge were outstanding and bird feeders with attracted different birds which was good to watch. Although no DVD if you have an account with a streaming service you can log on to your account. The only down side was the bed was on the hard side for us and we had to turn off the air freshener as a bit overpowering. However we were pleased with the lodge with a nice lawn area by the side which was good for our two dogs.

  Thank you for your feedback. Glad you enjoyed your stay at Squirrels Leap. We take great care cleaning the lodge especially as we accept our furry friends!! The air freshener is just a small touch to ensure the lodge smells fresh for every guest. Unfortunately we cannot please everyone with mattress preferences. Although I will say there are some improvements taking place towards the end of the year.. ensure the property smells lovely for each and every guest. Property Owner

• "We LOVED our stay; cosy with fantastic views of the Skiddaw mountain range & the lovely little fell Latrigg which we were luck enough to see sunrise from one morning."

  The bird feeder outside is great to sit and watch on a cosy morning once topped up with seed. Sitting with out coffee, we got visited by nuthatches, robins, wood pigeons and lots of variety of tit! I’ve even come home & purchased a bird feeder :) Our only suggestion is that a new mattress is provided as the current one is very worn and did hurt my partners back after 7 nights in it. Other than that, would highly recommend. We’ll be booking again for next year!!! Dani x

  Hi Dani Thank you for your feedback. It’s very difficult to choose the correct type of mattress to suit every guest. Part of our continuous improvement plan is to look at purchasing a new bed.. Watch this space!! Property Owner

• "It's a fantastic lodge, clean, tidy, warm and cozy."

  The views are fabulous, the location is within walking distance to Keswick Town centre, and there is a great pub just over the road. A cafe sits opposite the pub if you need breakfast. As a base for walking you have many options and the lake district is a beautiful place to explore. The owners are really attentive and helpful if you have any issues. I would wholeheartedly recommend this lodge to family, friends and anyone else.

  Thank you for your feedback Hope to see you again soon! Property Owner

  Nestled at the back, it is away from any road noise or passing traffic, making for a restful and tranquil holiday. The views are amazing, and the location of the park is excellent in relation to the town centre and amenities in Keswick. We would definitely recommend this and look forward to returning in the future.

• "We spent a lovely week at Squirrel's Leap."

  The lodge is well equipped (including all the kitchen equipment you might need) and was exceptionally clean. The lodge is also particularly well located as it is at the edge of the park with an excellent view of Skiddaw (some of the other lodges are located behind each other and therefore, you would be looking at the front / back of a neighbouring lodge). The park is quiet with a short walk (15 minutes) into the heart of Keswick. We will certainly stay at Squirrel's Leap again.

  Amazing review!! Thank you. We love our little lodge and glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

• "Congratulations!"

  A lovely cabin with the most fantastic view. I have never had so much storage in the bedroom of a self-catering property or a hotel. Very well equipped and lots of extras from the welcome chocolates and wine to a decent radio and even a garlic press! The site has beautifully mown grass looking better than my lawns. Very quiet, even with 3 of my grandchildren in another cabin. Keypad so much better those sharing a cabin with only one key! Very likely to return, but do wish bookings were Sat to Sat.

  Thank you for your lovely feedback. The lodge is just amazing!! Hope to see you again. Property Owner

• "Following a 'holiday from HELL' experience and a bad couple of weeks, we needed a lovely break and this was it, an absolute gem, the lodge was lovely and clean and the views were far better than expected."

  The facilities and equipment supplied were first class. Even with the poor weather we still had a wonderful break, plenty to do including steam boat rides, a steam railway journey and national trust properties the scenery was just breath taking where ever you went. To summarize, a truly remarkable lodge in a lovely area, the owners should be really pleased providing such a truly wonderful accommodation in a lovely area. A big thank you.. we will DEFINITELY return, unfortunately I have to mention that we highly recommend this lodge for a truly wonderful break, enjoying the peace and quiet with stunning views and lots of wild birds !!

• "Perfect cabin!"

  Waking up to Skiddaw each morning was a highlight, this place really is in an outstanding position in the park. So cosy & warm, everything you need for a homely stay! Location is probably the best that I’ve stayed in, in the Lakes as Keswick was a very short walk, my favourites fells & Lakes on the doorstep (Skiddaw range, Derwent water, Bassenthwaite). So many amenities nearby with the town, and a lovely little pub on the doorstep. Spacious & immaculate cabin, comfy bed & perfect for pet pooch, who didn’t want to get in the car to leave! Cabin facilities were spot on & lovely cosy decor. Highly recommend this little gem, especially if you enjoy getting out on the fells. Can’t wait to stay again!

• "The location is fantastic with amazing views of the mountains."

  It was so peaceful (apart from the nesting Ravens lol). The balcony has been changed since our last visit, so it's now completely enclosed for the dog which is really good. The only negative feedback I can give is that the bed isn't particularly comfortable. The prosecco and chocolate on arrival was a lovely touch.

  I am pleased you have enjoyed your stay at Squirrels Leap. I am sorry to hear the bed was uncomfortable for you. The mattress that was purchased was a medium with a topper. I am sorry you felt that this mattress was not to your liking. Property Owner

  The cleanliness was second to none and everything anyone would need for self catering was provided, even down to washing up liquid and soap in the bathroom. The location was excellent. After a couple of days we discovered an easier and better way to Keswick via the river about a 10 min walk. The Pheasant Inn is nearby and we visited twice while we were there, the food was excellent and we were allowed to take the dog! We spoke to the owners on a couple of occasions and they were very helpful and very friendly. We can highly recommend. Would we return, YES we certainly would.

  Very clean and comfortable accomodation. The bath was a bonus to relax in. As was the gate on the veranda that kept our little dogs secure in the property whilst able to go in and out as they pleased. If like us you know you will have an issue keeping your pets off furniture I would advise dog owners to take 2 large throws to cover sofas and a dog crate for the bedroom. This way you can enjoy the holiday without risking any damage or mud to furniture. We covered everything. Location of accomodation to Keswick and surrounding lakes and attractions is great. Easy walk into Keswick for a chip supper. There is a lovely park in Keswick with a river for the evening stroll before bed. Overall a lovely stay...good communication with the person organising your stay. Only negative is the dishwasher was not emptied and therefore it took us ages to find the mugs.
