"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!"

"Thank you for a fantastic weekend stay. It is perfectly set away from the noise of tourist spots but close enough to Coniston village for a drive in. The lodge was very well kitted out, it was modern & we would 100% re-book. The only minor issue was that the wi-fi went off a couple of times, but this was possibly down to the stormy weather."

"Our Crake Valley review: 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 absolutely loved staying here! The rural setting was so peaceful and the courtyard was gorgeous. The hot-tub really made it special. Perfect spot for countryside walks, would visit again!"

"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!"

"Due to time of year, the lodge was very good value. Due to our struggles with our old dog slipping and falling on the wood style floor we did consider leaving after the 1st night but persevered and enjoyed our walks in the beautiful location. The park would suit younger dogs and keen walkers but unfortunately didn't suit our needs currently."

"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!"

"We stayed at Copse Howe and found it surprisingly spacious for just the two of us. The kitchens pretty basic, so not ideal if you love cooking, but its perfect for quick bites or eating out. Super clean and modern too!"

"We had an amazing weekend here and really enjoyed our stay. The place was perfect for what we needed and the garden kept our pups entertained for ages. They especially loved the underfloor heating, which was a bonus! Luna was wagging her tail so much she strained it-poor thing! Definitely coming back soon, we all had a great time."

"We recently stayed at the Acorn Lodge in Crake Valley and honestly, it was a lovely escape. The location is quite tucked away, a bit off the beaten track from the main park, which gave it a peaceful vibe. The private garden and hot tub were perfect for unwinding, especially with the stunning views of the hills. The highlight was definitely Sunday morning in the hot tub, as it had snowed overnight, making everything look so magical. The nearby lake and woods made for nice walks to clear our heads. We really enjoyed the whole stay and would recommend it. One thing Id suggest is leaving some mops in the bathrooms and living area-getting in and out of the hot tub can get quite slippy, so a little more grip would be helpful. We were even tempted to buy the place, its that nice!"
