Room with a view.

This is a great place to stay. We had a great view from our room. The room was so nice. The bed was so comfy. The Bathroom was a really good size along with the room as a whole. It was in a great location not far from Ambleside. Checking was easy. The room was lovely and clean and i would definitely stay there again.

What a beautiful location , spent many hours gazing from our balcony , absolutely stunning scenery , they is a dog owners paradise , straight out the cabin onto beautiful lawns and fields , and mostly safe path to Ambleside apart from a stretch of about 100 mts , which is on the road , but managed well . The cabin itself is a very large clean room , huge comfortable bed , short balcony, which is safe , , large walk in shower cubicle , we asked for a fan because it was so hot , it was delivered in five minutes , overall the stay was exceptional ,

A beautiful setting however poor lighting in the car park made it difficult to find our lodge. Didn’t like the musty smell of the room and the reception lobby was quite drabby and dis not look clean.

Gorgeous stay, lovely views (and big window) even with awful weather! Spacious bathroom woth great shower. We loved that there was a drying cupboard for wet coats, boots and dog towels! It wasnt clear where to park for the scafell rooms, and ended up being quite a walk with our bags, dog cage and dog in the wind & rain.
