"We stayed over the weekend for my partners 40th and Mothers Day. The lodge was spotlessly clean and really well equipped. The scenery was breathtaking and the staff couldnt have been friendlier. Weve already booked to come back-thanks for an amazing break!"

"Our Bassenthwaite Lakeside Lodges review: Really enjoyed the stay, the hot tub was a real highlight!"
James - Mar 2025
"We booked a couple of nights in February at this lodge and honestly, it was a lovely experience. The spot is tucked away in a peaceful area with a beautiful view over the lake, which makes it perfect for escaping the hustle. The lodge itself was spotless and really well equipped - everything we needed was there. The highlight, though, had to be the decking area; such a great place to relax and soak in the scenery. The staff on reception were super friendly and even let us check in early since our lodge was ready, which was a nice surprise. When we checked out, the guy we spoke to (probably the site manager or owner) was really welcoming and asked about our stay, especially since we were only the third guests in that new lodge. Overall, we had a fantastic time and definitely want to come back!"

James - Feb 2025
"We loved the place! Its super welcoming for dogs and babies, which is a big plus for us. A bit more subtle lighting at night would be nice, but overall, its a fantastic spot and definitely worth it. Well be back!"

"Great place, everything was well looked after and neat."

"The outdoor area was quite cramped with the hot tub taking up most of the space, making it tricky for four adults to sit comfortably outside. Bedding and towels were spotless, really white and clean. The lodge could use a bit more dusting, but overall, we had a great time!"
Emma - Sep 2024
"Nice spot, very peaceful"
Emma Carter - Sep 2024

"We really enjoyed our stay. The lodge was lovely and the hot tub was a real treat. Everything was spotless and well-stocked, though a clothes horse wouldve been handy for drying our swimwear. Still, great overall!"
James - Jul 2024
"We loved the stunning setting; honestly, that alone makes it worth a visit. The lodge had some lovely touches, especially the hot tub which we really enjoyed. Its definitely a luxury spot, but we did notice a few things that could be improved - like the formica on the worktops peeling, some mould in the shower corners and cobwebs on the ceiling. A bread knife in the kitchen would be handy too. Still, wed happily come back, its a really beautiful place!"
Emma - Jul 2024

Emily Carter - Jun 2024
"We really enjoyed our stay. The hot tub was a lovely touch and the lodge was comfy with everything we needed. Access to the lake for kayaking was super easy. Sure, some bits of the lodge looked a bit worn out, but it didnt spoil our trip at all!"
Sam - Jun 2024
"We really enjoyed our stay at this lodge! Its comfy and has everything we needed. The en suite in the main bedroom was a real bonus, plus theres a bathroom too. Our dog loved the little walk nearby in the mornings - perfect getaway!"
Emma - May 2024
"We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge. Its well-equipped, with everything from kitchen gear to dog bowls, towels and treats. The bed was super soft, maybe a bit too much, but overall, a lovely experience!"
Emma - Mar 2024
"Really enjoyed our stay, staff were super friendly."
Alex - Mar 2024
"We stayed at this lodge recently and really appreciated how well-equipped it was - everything we needed was there. The two bathrooms with showers made mornings so much easier. The bedrooms, one double and one twin, were comfy. The only slight downside was the outdoor space; the hot tub took up most of the decking, so sitting outside for four might be a bit crowded, but for two it was fine!"
Emma Carter - Mar 2024
"We had an amazing time! The scenery was breathtaking and relaxing in the hot tub was just what we needed. Plenty of charming spots to explore, especially loved Buttermere. The Sun Inn served fantastic food and everyone was super friendly. Highly recommend!"

Gillian - Jul 2022
"What a great house, the pictures don't do it justice. We had a great time here, can't fault anything. We enjoyed being so close to the lake and it really is a very picturesque spot. Staff really helpful as we left a few items behind! We would certainly visit again. Thank you!"
Chantelle - Jul 2022
"The lodge is in an awesome location. We were literally 60 seconds away from the lake which our Siberian Husky loved. Keswick is 10 minutes away in the car & Dodds Wood is just over a mile away - well worth a visit to both. The Cumbrian Coast is only 30 minutes drive. The accommodation was fantastic - very well appointed. Great unexpected extras /treats on arrival for us & our dog - nice touch which really makes the difference. Staff all great & very helpful. All in all a great break in an excellent location. I would absolutely recommend."

"It’s so gorgeous we’d like to come here again. Beautiful setting , felt like Canada. Love that we could cool off in the lake and walk from the lodge too. It’s much more peaceful than a lot of the lakes this time of the year."
