The lodge was lovely and the view from the decking was beautiful! The site is small and quiet but in a good location for travelling to many of the beautiful places the Lake District offers. Check in was easy and all instructions were sent to us the day before. Unfortunately it seems not everyone reads them, as although the hosts requested this in their instructions, the thermostat was still at 20 and hadn’t been turned down, meaning it was extremely warm when we first went inside (fortunately this was just before the heatwave started!) Also, due to the heatwave we admit more fans would have been very welcome (there’s just one in the lounge) as trying to stay even slightly cool was really difficult, and we had a dog with us too. Overall though, we had a really good week and would recommend the lodge for people wanting to stay somewhere quiet with beautiful views and a few minutes walk down to to the lake.
