"The lodge met our every expectation and more."
Tastefully decorated, and stocked with everything that anyone would require on a self catering holiday. The location was perfect for our needs, peaceful and set in beautiful surroundings, which were ideal for walks with our dog. The owners were extremely helpful and hospitable. We will definitely be returning next year, I would highly recommend.

"Marolyn was very helpful during our stay, particularly when we arrived at Whitecross Bay and I hadn't printed off the barrier code, map and WIFI details."
The lodge was spacious, well equipped and had quality fittings. The bathroom was spacious and nicely laid out as was the shower room. The U shaped decking always had a spot where the sun could reach (if it was out) and there was lots of seating with padded cushions available. We were happy with the lodge.

"Lovely stay."
The bar was a bit grim but overall we really enjoyed our stay. Only negative (and I’m really reaching here) is the baby highchair took up a lot of space and we struggled to find somewhere to put it as we needed the wardrobe space. Thank you

"We have just got home from our stay at this beautiful lodge."
We received an email from Nick and Marolyn prior to leaving for our holiday. It was full of very useful information. We received another email shortly after we arrived, in which the hosts were checking everything was ok and as expected. We greatly appreciated this extra care. The lodge itself is immaculate and beautifully presented. It has everything you need including a gorgeous fire (which we used one day after getting soaked in the rain), TV, wi-fi, fridge, freezer, washing machine, outdoor seating, to name but a few things. The shower had plenty of hot water for us all and didn't run out. The lake is only a short walk from the lodge and our daughters had a great time feeding the friendly ducks and swans, which were confident enough to eat from their hands! Duck food can be bought at a reasonable price in various shops in Windermere. Our daughters also enjoyed making use of the onsite pool. We had such a lovely stay and couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you Nick and Marolyn for providing such beautiful accommodation and making our stay so comfortable. I would recommend this lodge to anyone and we will certainly be back!

"Outstanding."
Property was immaculate, spotless, great location. Owners communication was fantastic with instructions. We have already looked to return. We didn’t use the on site facilities, so we cannot comment. This review is 100% about the property which was 5*. Home from home, thank you

"A very comfortable, clean and spacious lodge that is doggy friendly, which is essential to us as our cockapoo goes with us everywhere."
You have all the facilities you need in a lovely setting and location, close to Bowness, Ambleside and Windermere... all a must see, including the boat trips to see the beautiful scenery surrounding you. The owners checked in with us at points which was welcomed and appreciated. The only downside is our week went far too quickly so we will be returning. Weather unpredictable so take waterproof jackets and good walking shoes to explore in all weather's, as we did, it is trulu stunning. Thank you for a wonderful break... we will be back.

Everything we needed was provided for a very relaxing holiday. Great that owner checked with us on arrival day to make sure everything was perfect. Would book again.
-
"Booking was very easy and quick."
I was contacted by the owner by email straight away with accurate information about the property. The lodge was fantastic, clean and well equipped for our stay. Ideally situated with good on site facilities. I would highly recommend this lodge and will book again.

"We took mum for a weekend away she's had disabilities and the lodge was absolute perfect."
The quality to detail was amazing and absolutely spotless. Nothing was to much trouble for Nick our host and actually messaged us while on the park asking if we needed anything to just contact him. Location was also brilliant travelled to Windermere Ambleside and Keswick. We will definitely be returning but this time fetching the dogs as everything was catered for them
-
"Fantastic location."
The accommodation and amenities were of a very high standard we would most definitely come back at stay at this accommodation. The owners were very attentive and supported us to make our son-in-law’s birthday a special occasion which we appreciated.

"Beautiful Lodge, on a great site, in a perfect location for exploring the Lake District."
Well equipped and spacious enough for a family of 6. Additional outdoor decking area was great too, perfect to let our dog roam and in summer would be great for relaxing and eating outside. Marolyn, the owner was a great host, going above and beyond. She made sure we felt welcome, answered any questions immediately both before and during our stay, even sent a message wishing us a safe journey home. Needless to say we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and will definitely return.
-
"We had such a lovely time and Marolyn is so lovely and good at keeping in touch."
Even suggesting weekend events that were on - very sweet. It was a shame that the holiday park reception was not as good as we were expecting but that is definitely not a host issue. The home is beautiful and the beds are so comfortable! It is in a fabulous location, especially with the stream running under the front of the house. It is lovely that they are dog friendly and my golden girl (golden retriever) Bella had a lovely time.

"Great place to stay"
-
"Amazing property, wonderful location and beyond relaxing."
The stream at the front just adds to the whole atmosphere.
