"Really enjoyed our weekend here, peaceful vibe, perfect for a laid-back anniversary escape-definitely recommend!"
"We took a lovely walk and then decided to stop by the on-site restaurant. Really friendly staff, nice and clean, with plenty of space both inside and outside. Cant complain at all, quite enjoyed it!"
"We visit Keswick Reach Lodge Retreat every year and honestly, it never fails to impress us. The place is stunning, with plenty of space between the lodges so you dont feel crowded at all. Everything you need is right there in the lodges, which makes it feel like a real home away from home. This time around, we celebrated my dads 80th birthday and he was genuinely blown away by the luxury of the accommodation. He was so surprised! There were a few little issues, like the front door lock being a bit temperamental, but a quick call to maintenance sorted it out swiftly-they even came out at 11.30pm, which we really appreciated. One small concern was some uneven flooring in the kitchen and en suite-being pregnant and not able to see the floor clearly, I did trip once, but luckily no harm done. Also, I noticed a dusty, disused bobble left on the windowsill in the bathroom, which made us wonder how thorough the cleaning is, especially with Covid still around. Despite these tiny hiccups, we had a lovely break and are already looking forward to returning next year, especially with our new little one on the way!"
"Really enjoyed our stay! The lodge had all we needed for a chilled weekend. Can't wait to return!"
"Our Keswick Reach Lodge Retreat review: Really enjoyed the experience, definitely worth it."
"Really enjoyed our time here"
"Prices during summer are pretty steep everywhere, so nothing surprising there. The break itself was quite relaxing and gave us a real boost. Also, ALDI in Cockermouth is just a quick 20-minute drive, perfect for grabbing wine and snacks. Not bad at all!"
"The holiday was really lovely and we had a great time overall. A tiny play area for kids nearby could make it even better, though!"
"We really enjoyed our stay here. Sharing the holiday with our daughter, her husband and the kids was lovely and our little dog loved it too. The lodges were super comfy and it was so peaceful. You barely saw anyone - just cars passing by. Perfect for relaxing!"
"Great stay, highly recommend"
"We had a brilliant time celebrating our 50th anniversary and this company really delivered. Everything was just as promised and were already planning to return soon. Thanks to everyone involved!"
"We had a lovely time in such a stunning spot. Already booked again for Yorkshire this October-can't wait to go back!"
"We stayed at the Wainwright Lodge, right by the pond with breathtaking views of the mountains and fields. The place was spotless and smelled super fresh, clearly deep-cleaned thoroughly. The beds were really comfy and the setting was just perfect for us. A bit of a bummer that some leisure facilities like the sauna, spa and family whirlpool were closed because of Covid restrictions, but understandable. We tried to use the big screen TV for some movies, but had trouble getting it to work-probably because too many devices were trying to connect at once. Honestly, it didnt matter much since we didnt watch much TV anyway. Overall, we had a lovely stay and definitely plan to return. Thanks for a great break!"
"Really enjoyed our stay, definitely planning to return soon!"
"Great experience, the space was spotless and fully stocked. Would return!"

"Really enjoyed it, just what we needed to unwind."
"We really enjoyed our stay here! Usually, we dont return to the same place, but Keswick Reach is different."
"The lodge looks stunning with its modern decor, which we really appreciated. However, we did notice some areas like skirtings and windows that could do with a proper clean now and then. Still, overall, lovely stay!"
"Overall, a decent stay. The lodge was comfortable, but we were a bit disappointed with the limited TV channels, especially no local news or weather. Internet connection was solid, though. Would stay again!"
"Looking forward to next time"
"Really enjoyed the peaceful stay"

"Lovely well kept site, staff friendly and beds very comfortable. Hot tub was relaxing and maintained at 40 degrees. Only minor complaint is the walls could do with a wipe down, as some stains!"
"Lovely place. A bit isolated but great for a quiet, peaceful rest."
"Our 3rd year staying at Keswick retreat and would definitely recommend it"
"A lovely and peaceful site, very clean and tidy grounds and the Ruskin 2 lodge we had was very well equipped. The lodge had everything you will need and was excellent. Not really suitable for children as most facilities are for the adults and could benefit from a play area for children. Site is a bit isolated and that's why we chose it but make sure you bring all your supply needs. There is a small shop in reception which has most of your basics and prices are excellent."
"Little details made it even more special from the dog treat and toys and little rubber duck for the children. everything you needed down to the dishwasher tablets. The lodges were very clean and the location was breathtaking was literally 5stars and the staff was lovely"
"Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Keswick Reach Lodge Retreat.
Delighted with our lodge."
"Beautiful place to stay lodges have everything u need and staff were friendly and helpful"
"Brilliant had the best time staff so nice and helpful would recommend"
"Beautiful clean park with excellent facilities, with amazing views and very helpful and pleasant staff"
"We had an amazing holiday. The park was lovely and the accommodation was really clean."

A Neolithic stone circle on a hilltop above Keswick, ringed by Lake District fells.
Castlerigg is a Neolithic stone circle on a prominent hill east of Keswick, in the Lake District National Park. English Heritage calls it one of the most atmospheric and dramatically sited of all British stone circles. The stones are glacial boulders of volcanic rock, set in a flattened ring with an unusual rectangle of extra stones inside it.
Tip: Parking at the site is limited. Walking from the centre of Keswick takes about 30 minutes, so consider that or public transport.

Walk through a replica graphite mine and see one of the world's largest colouring pencils in Keswick.
The Derwent Pencil Museum in Keswick tells the story of the pencil, from its beginnings as a cottage industry to modern production. You enter through a replica graphite mine, a nod to the source of the pencil industry over three centuries ago, then follow the journey of graphite and pencil discovery.
Tip: The car park outside isn't owned or run by the museum, uses ANPR cameras and needs payment on arrival, so check the car park notices.

A much-besieged border fortress where Mary Queen of Scots was held prisoner, with a military museum inside.
Carlisle Castle guarded the western end of the Anglo-Scottish border for hundreds of years and survived seven sieges by the Scots between 1174 and 1461. It was later adapted for artillery, and in 1568 it held Mary Queen of Scots prisoner. It stayed in military use well into the 20th century.
Tip: Booking advance tickets online saves 15%, and arriving by bus, train or bike gets you 20% off entry at the site on the day.

A house-sized boulder in Borrowdale that you can climb to the top by ladder.

A red-sandstone castle near Penrith, with a great keep, a double gatehouse and panoramic views over the Eden Valley.
Brougham Castle is a red-sandstone castle standing near the site of a Roman fort, guarding a river crossing south-east of Penrith. It was founded in the early 13th century by Robert de Vieuxpont, and his great keep still dominates the site. The powerful Clifford family later added more buildings, including an unusual double gatehouse and the Tower of League.
Tip: Head up the spiral stairs to the top of the keep for panoramic views over the Eden Valley.

Dramatic castle ruins, award-winning gardens and one of the UK's largest adventure playgrounds on the edge of the Lake District.
Lowther Castle is a ruined country house near Penrith, built in the early 19th century and left as a dramatic shell after the roof was removed and the building demolished in the 1950s.

A Victorian neo-gothic castle with parkland, woodland walks and a shingle beach on the western shore of Windermere.
