  I have just returned from a week long break at The Lodge in Greystoke, Lake District, with my husband and dog.

  We had a fantastic stay and I wouldn't hesitate to book again. From the moment we walked in we felt at home, the property was spotless and a lovely hamper was left for us. The property itself is well worth the money and rating. It is excellently appointed, spacious yet homely. There is no excess clutter and each room is tastefully decorated in keeping with the property. The gardens are lovely and the house backs onto a forest area that is part of the Greystoke Castle estate. The property sits at the edge of the 'village', a 2 minute walk along the road and had a shop/post office, swimming pool and pub serving home cooked meals. The house is comfortable enough to stay in without needing to go out, however we like to visit the area. Penrith is a 10 minute drive and is full of local amenities and some nice restaurants, we can recommend 'La Casita' (Spanish tapas) and Four and Twenty (contemporary British) as well as Chapter 12 tearooms for a great scone! Things to visit nearby: - outdoor swimming pool (1 minute from the cottage in walking distance) - Alpaca Walk from Base Camp North Lakes (18 minutes from the cottage) - Boat cruise from Pooley Bridge pier (20 minutes from cottage) - Breakfast by the river in Pooley Bridge at Granny Dowbekin's (20 minutes away) - Keswick town centre (25 minutes away) - Lake District Wildlife Park (30 minutes away) - Abbots Jersey Ice Cream park (18 minutes away) - Aira Force waterfall walk and tearoom (15 minutes away) We had a wonderful holiday, the best in a long time, I'd wholeheartedly recommend this cottage for it's comfort, luxury and cleanliness - the cottage was spotless! If you're looking for a peaceful, relaxing stay with the option of short journeys for activities. Look no further. I couldn't have asked for anymore! Thank you to the owners for having us.

  Just come back home from a lovely week at The Lodge.

  Small secure patio for our Labrador and through the gate there is another section of garden with a pond. Lots of storage space in the master bedroom and very comfy bed. Large kitchen with plenty of pots and pans, I could not find a measuring jug or champagne flutes but plenty of other glasses. Plenty of heating and hot water and the shower is great. Lovely log burners in kitchen and lounge and enough logs to get us started. Thank you very much for the welcome pack of biscuits, milk and wine. Nice pub down the road, The Boot and Shoe which does an amazing Sunday dinner. Dog friendly in the bar area. Would highly recommend The Lodge and will definitely return.

  My husband and I enjoyed our weeks stay in this fabulous cottage along with our dog.

  The cottage is warm and cosy, has everything you would possibly need and is well located away from the throngs of the Lakes and Northern Pennines but easy to get to. Everything was well thought out and provided for. Wi-Fi was great as we both had to log in for work for a few hours. Smart TV and the log fire meant a thoroughly relaxing winters evening. There are some books and games in the cottage too. Parking off road at the rear of the property and a short walk to the nearest pub (not dog friendly though) Highly recommend for couples or a small group/family and would book again. The Dog and Gun at Skelton is a must visit!

  Property was perfect for what we were looking for!

  Quiet location with good facilities in the cottage. We especially enjoyed using the log burner as this made the cottage really cosy! The cottage really has all amenities you would need, and was very comfortable. Use of Netflix on the tv was really enjoyed by our daughter and was a real perk. We enjoyed the local walk routes accessible from the cottage, and attended one of the local pubs. We would love to return to the cottage in the future. Our dog struggled a little bit with the staircase, but was ok if we helped him down. Thank you to the owners for a lovely holiday.

  What a great little find!

  ! Such a homely comfortable and beautiful house. Everything you could need with facilities and household ‘equipment’. Bedrooms were large and spacious. Comfy beds and lovely bedding. Excellent pub for food down the road. The location was perfect for us as we always frequent Penrith, Keswick, Ullswater and surrounding areas. We have stayed in and around the area many times but never in such a lovely holiday house. We have a dog who we do crate at night and there was loads of room for her too. Secure front garden and friendly neighbour. Will definitely be staying again.
