"The lodge looked a little worn but overall it was clean and very nice place to stay. Theres a small park for the kids but nothing else for kids to really do (we were aware of this before we booked). Excellent location and view. Really good base to explore the lakes from."

"Lodge clean and tidy, hot tub was excellent. Has everything we needed."
"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!"
"Nice lodge that suited us well, we're not hot tub fans! Nicely furnished and good facilities at a very good price and a view of the lake."
"We had such a lovely stay at this cosy place, tucked away in a really peaceful spot. The owners were genuinely friendly and always happy to help if we needed anything, but it still felt private enough to relax fully. The hot tub was a real highlight after a long day of cycling, absolutely perfect! A little thing to note though - the cottage is right under Stansted's flight path, so there's quite a bit of aircraft noise. It took us a couple of hours to get used to it, but honestly, it didnt ruin our holiday at all!"
"The owners really did a great job thinking of all the little details. We had such a relaxing stay. Highly recommend it to friends!"
"Really enjoyed our stay here."

"The lodge was very nicely positioned by Bassenthwaite Lake. It was relaxing, comfortable and well equipped. We felt very welcome."
"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!"
"The view from the lodge was absolutely stunning, definitely the highlight. Some areas felt a bit worn out, but overall it was a lovely stay."
"We had such a lovely stay at Dalehead! Arrived a bit late, but the staff were so welcoming and even turned on the lights and heating beforeh and, which was a nice touch. The complimentary milk, beer and Prosecco were a lovely surprise. Can't wait to come back!"
"We had a lovely stay at this charming cottage, tucked away on a working farm but still very private. Robert and Sharon are such warm, welcoming hosts, making us feel at home right away. The place is super spacious with everything you need in the kitchen and bathroom and the bed was truly comfy! The garden is perfect for dogs, totally secluded with nice furniture. Plenty of walks nearby and Thaxted has some cracking restaurants like The Star and The Maypole-definitely worth a visit. Wed happily recommend it!"
"Hidden gem ...perfect relaxing break...stuff very helpful and friendly
Faultless ?"
"An excellent quite site in a lovely part of the Lake District. Fantastic for a Dog friendly holiday."
"Fabulous family holiday. Time to reconnect. House spotless, everything you need .lovely welcome pack. We’ll recommended."
"Beautiful setting"
"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!"
"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."
"Stunning location and lodge would recommend to all"
"Outstanding site in lovely surroundings."
"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."
"The Croft Cottage was perfect for us. It was very spacious and it had everything we needed. It was very clean. Just a short walk down to the Lake. We will definitely be booking this again."
"Amazing location, recommend getting hot tub, got an early check in, lovely scenery and areas to go to"
