Guests that stayed at this property said
The lodge generally received positive remarks for cleanliness, with guests finding it tidy upon arrival. However, there were isolated comments about dog hair and cleanliness issues which slightly affected the overall impression.
The location is highly commended for its convenience and scenic surroundings, offering easy access to Windermere, Ambleside, and various local attractions. The tranquil setting by the lake was a highlight for many visitors.
Guests found the lodge comfortable, with a spacious living area and cosy atmosphere. Some guests mentioned the lodge being outdated and the furnishings old-fashioned, which suggests room for improvement in comfort.
Facilities were appreciated, including the on-site pool and proximity to leisure activities. However, several reviews mentioned maintenance issues such as problems with doors and the boiler, indicating a need for better upkeep.
While guests found the lodge well-equipped and homely, there were no specific mentions of gifts or extra thoughtful touches provided by the hosts. Therefore, a score cannot be given for thoughtfulness.

The cleaner needs to check the draws in the kitchen as we found some food left in there couple of bags of potatoes, and back of the sofas as we found a jumper but other that was very clean. Also the park it's self should have a warden as people making noise at 2am coming back from wherever and cars driving round the park at that time (if the owner mention that to the park about the noise)
