Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the property to be spotless and well-maintained. However, there was a notable complaint regarding the presence of dog hairs and an unpleasant odour, which suggests room for improvement in cleaning standards for pet-friendly stays.
The location is frequently praised for its tranquillity and convenience for exploring the north west lakes area. The proximity to local amenities and attractions in the Lake District adds to the appeal, although one review mentioned a lack of immediate dog-walking areas.
Guests generally found the lodge to be cosy and comfortable, with a few noting that the beds were comfy and the lodge was warm. However, some guests mentioned that the sofa and mattress were not particularly comfortable, indicating that comfort levels may vary.
The property is consistently described as well-equipped and offering all the necessary facilities for a self-catering trip. There were minor comments about the lack of certain items like a potato masher and suggestions for additional lighting, but overall, the facilities meet guests' needs.
Several guests mentioned appreciating the thoughtful touches such as wine and milk upon arrival, which contributed to a welcoming atmosphere. It should be noted that such gestures, while appreciated, may not be guaranteed for every stay.

Whilst in close proximity to other caravans it is situated at the end of a track so has very little disturbance or passing traffic. I would highly recommend this as a destination offering good value

The living room was bright and cosy, perfect for relaxing. Comfortable beds and a well-equipped kitchen made our stay easy. Loved the location - close to beautiful spots like Whinlatter Forest and convenient for supermarkets and restaurants. Would definitely recommend!
