Avon Wood

"We had a wonderful relaxing break at Avon Wood. We stayed in Ambleside Lodge with a lovely view of the lake. The lodge was very well equipped with everything you could need in the kitchen, even a toast rack! The lodge was clean, warm and cosy and a perfect place to set off from to explore the beautiful lakes. Having the hot tub to come back to after a busy day was really appreciated."

"Our accommodation was beautifully styled, very well equipped and spotlessly clean. With a tree top view of Windermere and a private hot-tub it was the perfect retreat and an ideal base for our holiday."

"Great lodge very quiet, the site was well placed near everywhere you could hope for"

"A beautiful lodge in a fantastic location, spotlessly clean and very well equipped, a private hot tub and patio what more could you ask for"

"Absolutely wonderful"

"Very cosy place, had everything we needed, loved it!"

"We recently stayed at Avon Wood and honestly, it was such a lovely experience. The lodge was spotlessly clean and looked stunning, with views that really took our breath away. After a long day of hiking up the hills, relaxing in the hot tub was just perfect - we definitely made good use of it! The welcome pack on arrival was a nice touch, very thoughtful. This was our first trip to the Lake District and we loved it so much that weve already booked to come back in April. The location is quite remote, around ten minutes drive from the main spots, but thats exactly what we wanted-peace and quiet. Oh and at the bottom of the park, you can easily access the lake from a tiny slipway, which was adorable. Definitely bring your kayaks if you can, its worth it. The hosts were lovely too. We highly recommend Avon Wood!"

"Looking forward to next year, really enjoyed the experience!"

"We stayed at this lodge recently and honestly, its stunning! The location is just breathtaking, surrounded by such a peaceful setting. The facilities were spot on, everything we needed was there and the welcome pint of milk was a lovely touch-perfect for that first cuppa after a long drive. Christine was really helpful beforeh and, making sure we knew what to pack and what to leave behind, which was a big help. The spa was a real treat, especially after a day of walking; slipping into it was perfect. The only downside is that you definitely need a car since there are no footpaths nearby. We did manage a quick walk around the site, but it was pretty short. Wed definitely return and recommend to others!"

"Absolutely loved our stay! The location was stunning and the accommodation exceeded all our expectations. Highly recommend!"

"Really cosy place, felt like home instantly."

"We absolutely loved our stay at the lodge! The view of Lake Windermere was stunning and the place was so well equipped - felt like home straight away. Its a really relaxing spot, perfect for a getaway. Definitely hoping to come back soon!"

"We've been coming here for six years now, staying in the Retreat Lodge. Honestly, its always fantastic-what more could we ask for!"

"Really enjoyed our chill break in the Lake District!"

"We recently spent a week at Blakeholme Lodge with our family of five and honestly, it was fantastic. The place was spotless when we arrived and had everything we needed. The living room was really comfy and spacious. We loved relaxing on the patio by the lake. The scenery is stunning and its a great spot to explore the Lake District. Definitely a holiday to remember!"

"Really enjoyed our stay, the staff made us feel at home."

"Looking forward to visiting again soon!"

"Really enjoyed our stay, will definitely be back again soon!"

"Really enjoyed the stay, the place was lovely and definitely recommend to friends."

"Lovely lodge, well decorated and has everything you need. It's a quiet and peaceful location, perfect for unwinding, with an amazing view over the lake. Loved the welcome pack of Prosecco, chocolates along with the selection of teas, coffee, hot chocolate and milk for a needed drink I would highly recommend both the park and this lodge and we will definitely be going back in the future."

"This is a lovely Lodge in a truly beautiful location. We enjoyed a very friendly welcome, and are only sorry that illness meant we had to leave early. Would recommend without hesitation."
