• "Lovely, comfy and very well equiped."

  Plenty of wardrobe space, and to put your coats and shoes We cooked a few nights and found everything we needed. Peaceful and relaxing, we had 2 red squirrels visit and filled up the feeders with the supplies left.

• "Holmedell Lodge was perfect, it was very well stocked with kitchen utensils and was warm and welcoming."

  The bed was very comfortable and the bedroom was a decent size, the wardrobes were lovely and to be honest we couldn't fault the lodge at all. We had a beautiful squirrel on the balcony getting food out of the holder's and we were only about 6 feet away, inside the lodge. We had snowfall the day before we were due to leave and the lodge was still lovely and warm. We would definitely stay again.

  Thank you Property Owner

• "This is a really wonderful place to spend a holiday."

  The setting is a very peaceful and tranquil holiday park with the lodges well spaced out in beautiful grounds. Plenty of wildlife roaming around, including the red squirrels eating just outside the living room. The lodge was immaculately clean with everything we needed and more being provided. Its a very comfortable place to stay and has all the facilities you need for a break. The location is superb, being in the heart of the Lakes and close enough to local places of interest. Highly recommended. I wouldn't hesitate to book again.

  Thank you Property Owner

• "The property was very clean and well equipped."

  The only issue was the cleanliness of the outside furniture and decking area, it didn't look like it had been cleaned for months.

  I am pleased you found the property to be clean and well equipped. Thank you for drawing the outside area to my attention. The overhanging trees from the neighbouring site and debris left by the red squirrels coming to feed is a constant issue. I will arrange for the matter to be attended to. I can now confirm that I have taken up this matter with the Housekeeping Team. There is a new cleaning schedule in place to prevent a further occurence. Property Owner

• "Cottage was lovely, cleanest I’ve stayed in for a long time."

  Only thing was there were no nice places to walk the dog way from the cottages.

  Thank you for your kind comment about our lovely clean Lodge. As for a nice place to walk the dog, there is the whole of the beautiful Lake District National Park close by. Property Owner

• "Lovely lodge in a nice quiet location."

  Our dog loved watching the rabbits and hens playing near the pond, with the occasional red squirrel making a visit. The lodge was nice and clean. The kitchen was stocked with everything you'd need for self catering, more than usual for other lodges, which was a nice touch. We were welcomed with a couple of complementary drinks in the fridge. Only downside is there are what we think to be mice venturing into the roof or wall cavities. Every night between 11-3am we were woken up to loud scratching and gnawing noises in the ceiling above the bed. One night in particular it continued for about an hour, it sounded as if something was attempting to gnaw its way into the room, I had to resort to knocking the ceiling with the sweeping brush in the hopes of scaring it off, I even popped outside to to make sure there was nothing on the roof, whatever it is sounds determined to get in, as it kept coming back.

  Thank you for your positive comments about our Lodge. We work hard to make guests feel comfortable. I am sorry that your particular visit was spoiled by the noise in the roof space which was probably caused by a mouse. Thank you for drawing this to our attention. We have taken appropriate steps to prevent re-occurance of the problem. Property Owner

  Very clean and comfortable. Everything you need for self-catering and more. This last week has been very hot so could have done with a fan as lodge got very warm. The outside area is well equipped with tables, chairs and parasol. A BBQ was also provided and all set ready to use. The site is very quiet and peaceful.

  Thank you for your time to provide feedback. I´m sorry that you found the Lodge too warm - the fan is in the wardrobe in the twin bedroom. Property Owner

• "This place should be available on prescription as a cure for the stresses of life."

  The location was perfect for exploring the Lakes from the coast to the top of the highest mountain in England. There is quite literally everything you need in the lodge which was spotlessly clean and thoughtfully organised. The welcome pack of milk, but juice, wine and beers was a nice gesture too, t The lodge is situated at the end of the site, so no cars are passing, ensuring plenty of privacy too. In addition, there is the pleasure of watching the cheeky red squirrels that turn up throughout the day to feed and scamper about just outside the doorway. Although the weather was not great when we stayed, the lodge is well located to explore other attractions and near local shopping for food or for dining out. We are already planning to return as we felt so at home there.

  ). The lodge is situated in a very serene surrounding, away from the busy parts of the lakes, about 20-30 mins drive from Keswick. Lodge is very well equipped and comfortable. Will definitely come back again!

• "The lodge is lovely, set in very tranquil surroundings with lots of visiting wildlife."

  There were ample facilities in the accommodation, suited for all weather conditions. Our hosts had left a lovely welcome gift which was much appreciated and it was just a shame we were only there for a few days. Nearby are some beautiful lakes and lots of lovely places to visit. I think if I could suggest a couple of improvements, they'd be a lighter weight duvet as it was far too heavy for the sunny weather conditions and an electric fan would be good. Really enjoyable short break.
