"We had a lovely stay at the Carriage House! The setting is so peaceful and charming, perfect for unwinding. The owners and staff were genuinely friendly and went out of their way to help with anything. The hot tub was a real treat and we loved exploring Carlisle and Penrith. Definitely coming back again!"

"We stayed at this lovely coach house recently and it really exceeded our expectations. The place was beautifully renovated to a high standard and super comfortable. Honestly, the cleanliness was top-notch - everything was spotless! The environment looked even better in person than in the pictures. The hot tub was a real treat and added to the relaxing vibe. We also ordered take away from the Globe, which was superb. Cant wait to return!"

"We recently stayed at the Brackenburgh lodge and honestly, its such a lovely spot. The view from the decking is stunning - youre right among the horses, peacocks, ducks and cockerels, which makes it feel really special. Inside, the lodge was spotless, clearly had a thorough deep clean, which we appreciated. The beds were super comfy, so we all had great sleeps. We loved chilling in the hot tub every evening, its such a nice touch. The Globe Inn nearby serves top-notch food and Toni along with his team are genuinely friendly and accommodating. Wed definitely recommend these lodges, just a short drive from Penrith and well be coming back for sure!"

"We recently stayed here and honestly, it was a pretty lovely spot. From the moment we arrived, Tony handed us the keys right on time, which made check-in smooth as anything. We didnt have a clue what to expect since it was our first time in this type of place, but we were genuinely impressed. The site looks great - plenty of private parking right outside the lodge and the gardens are kept beautifully. The lodge itself was spotless and had everything we needed, which was a relief. The owners, Paul and Tony, were constantly about, doing maintenance on the hot tub and making sure everything looked tidy. They were always friendly and happy to give us tips on local spots, which was super helpful. Even though it feels quite secluded, its actually a quick drive to nearby towns and sights - Penrith, Keswick, Carlisle and others are all within half an hour or so, no motorway stress at all. Wed definitely come back again!"

"We had a lovely stay at this charming cottage tucked away in such a serene rural spot. Tony, the owner, really goes out of his way to make you feel welcome and comfortable. There were a couple of minor maintenance issues when we arrived, which was a bit of a letdown, but honestly, the place was spotless and well-equipped. We did mention the mattresses could be better and Tony's already on it. All in all, wed definitely come back again!"

"We decided to book last minute and honestly, it turned out great! Staying in the Coach House was a real treat - super clean and plenty of space to relax. The hot tub was definitely a highlight; we used it every day and it was checked regularly. The weather was freezing and snowy when we visited, but we could tell the grounds would look stunning in spring or summer. Only downside was the internet - it wouldnt connect at all. Also, since its quite remote, we had to plan our shopping, but no worries, supermarkets are only five miles away. Would definitely recommend!"

"Absolutely wonderful stay. This lodge's seating area sits facing away from all the other lodges, with a view over the fields. Well worth paying the extra for privacy. Lodge extremely comfortable and in excellent condition. Our confirmation email didn't say to collect keys at the pub opposite the gates - you need to get them to get through the security gate onto the site. Small site and very quiet. M6 nearby and some noise of traffic but minimal and you soon don't notice it. My old dog appreciated the enclosed veranda and with this being the biggest lodge on site, the veranda gave him his own space. Plenty of quiet dog walks nearby too."

"outstanding - the globe was also lovely for food"

"Lovely spotless lodge in a lovely small quiet site. Very friendly Peacocks come calling for a treat everyday. Pub at end of road for drinks or meals. Would definitely go back :)"
Trisha - Jul 2022
"Booked this for 3 days which cost just over £600 which taking into account we were actually only in the lodge for 1 day I felt was a lot of money. We were in Calthwaite for a family so it made sense to stay here. The cabin was a good size and clean, comfy beds and the hot tub was great. Staff amazing. My only real issue was that it was hot while we were there and we had no fans or air con which made things abit uncomfortable at times. I have to be fair though we did not ask if fans were available due to the short time of our stay. The pub across the road was also lovely, again with lovely staff."

"A beautiful retreat for relaxation.
Not much around, but that's a good thing.
The horses are beautiful as are the peacocks that roam around freely.
Wonderful!!"

Lovely pub on the doorstep with nice food which is
also used as check in and
Staff are on hand if you need them via the pub too
Ideal for a break away from it all, probably not for kids though as not much around.
We will be returning"
