"Really loved the peaceful surroundings here"
Emma - Mar 2025
"We had such a lovely weekend here! The location is great - away from all the busy tourist spots but close enough for a quick drive into Coniston village. The lodge was really well-equipped and modern, definitely a place we'd stay again. The only tiny hiccup was the Wi-Fi dropping a couple of times, probably because of the storm. Still, overall, a great stay!"

"We really enjoyed our stay at Tarn Hows. The cabin was beautiful-spotlessly clean, with underfloor heating that kept us cosy. The bathroom was spacious and well-appointed and the kitchen had everything we needed. The hot tub was a real highlight-so relaxing! The area was incredibly peaceful, perfect for unwinding. The only downside was the Wi-Fi situation; satellite Wi-Fi didnt work at all during our visit and the parks free Wi-Fi was unreliable. We ended up watching Film4 for three days straight because of it, which was a bit dull but still a nice break overall."

"We had a lovely time at the cabin. The setting was super cosy and perfect for relaxing. The hot tub was a real highlight! Just a heads-up, the listing says theres a washing machine, but there isnt one. Still, wed definitely come back!"

"Our Crake Valley review: We stayed just behind Lodge Seventeen, which felt nice and private. The open-plan living area leads straight into the kitchen and its surprisingly roomy. The place is beautifully decorated and fully equipped with everything you could need in the kitchen. The bedroom was a good size, featuring a walk-in wardrobe, bedside tables, a TV and drawers, plus the bathroom was attached - the only one on-site. The bed was incredibly comfy, though at 62, I found it a bit small for two, but it didnt ruin our stay. The hot tub was already heated when we arrived and was well maintained throughout our visit. Wed definitely come back again!"

"Pretty decent"
James Carter - Oct 2024
"Given the time of year, we found the lodge to be really good value. We almost left after the first night because our old dog kept slipping on the wooden floors, but we decided to stick with it. Glad we did, because we enjoyed some lovely walks in the stunning surroundings. The parks great for active dogs and hikers, just not quite right for ours right now."
Emma - Oct 2024
"We've been coming here for four years now and always enjoy it. Tarn Hows Lodge is in such a lovely spot, surrounded by stunning scenery. Its handy for great walks too, just a little planning needed to make the most of it."
Emma Carter - Oct 2024
"We really enjoyed our stay at this cosy lodge. Its perfect for couples, super clean when we arrived and appreciated the tea, coffee and milk that was there. The only hiccup was the heating-no instructions, so we struggled to get the radiators working. Luckily, the fire in the main room saved the day!"

"The sofa was quite a bit smaller than expected and didnt match the photos online. The other sofa looked much bigger and probably wouldve suited us better, honestly."
Emma Carter - Sep 2024
"We really enjoyed our time in this charming cabin, surrounded by lovely scenery. The facilities were spot on, especially the endless coffee pods - loved that! Only minor things: the upstairs bedroom could do with a wardrobe and a lamp on each side of the bed. Also, the bed squeaked a lot when turning over. Adding a handrail outside the steps would make it safer. Still, wed happily recommend it!"

"Cozy and peaceful"
Emma Carter - Jun 2024
"We had a lovely holiday overall. The lodge was well kitted out, though some areas could do with a bit of a refresh. Not an eco fanatic, but a recycling bin would be a nice addition. The second bedroom was a bit tight, with beds quite close and the shared decking areas mean less privacy than we'd hoped for."
Emma Carter - Jun 2024
"Lovely spot, peaceful and super clean, would recommend."
George - May 2024
"Really pleased with the value, especially for the price. Itd be great if they offered monthly discounts on dogs for those staying longer. Makes a difference!"
Oliver - Apr 2024
"We had such a lovely stay! The lodges setting is truly beautiful, perfect for a peaceful escape. The hot tub was a real highlight after long days out exploring. Only thing missing for us was a dishwasher, but otherwise, great experience!"
Emily - Mar 2024
"Weve visited Crake Valley a few times now and honestly, its always a great experience. The site is peaceful, beautifully maintained and super comfortable. When we arrived, the little touches like hot drinks, shampoo, oven gloves and dishwasher supplies really made us feel welcome. Its such a lovely place and were already planning our next trip. Thanks for a fantastic weekend!"
Emma Carter - Jan 2024
"Really enjoyed our stay, the lodge was spotless, spacious and perfect for exploring!"
Emma Roberts - Jan 2024
"Weve stayed at Tarn Hows a couple of times now and its just as wonderful as the first. The Lake District keeps amazing us with its scenic walks and stunning vistas. Waking up to a crisp, frosty morning is always a highlight for us!"
Emma - Nov 2023
"We had a lovely stay here! The location is stunning and the owners couldnt be more helpful. Great value for money, definitely coming back!"
Emma - Nov 2023
"We loved how spotless and comfy the lodge was, perfect for our holiday. The hot tub at night was a real treat. We'd come back for sure!"
Alex - Nov 2023
"We had a lovely stay in such a scenic spot! The helpful text the day before made everything easy and the place itself was spotless and well-equipped. Just a quick heads-up - the shale path could do with some fixing since its pretty slippery and a bit unsteady if youre not careful. Also, there are some low branches scraping against the roof when the wind picks up, which sounds a bit alarming at first! Overall though, its a perfect little getaway, especially since its just a short drive to all the lakes amenities. Wed definitely go back!"
Alex - Nov 2023
"Cleanliness was top-notch, staff friendly, wouldnt hesitate to come back."
Emma - Oct 2023
"Crake Valley really hits the spot with its fantastic location - perfect for those who love walking and messing about on the water. The lodges are comfy and well-stocked with all you need. Its close to Coniston and Ulverston, which makes grabbing groceries or exploring super easy. Well be back for sure!"
Emma Carter - Oct 2023
