Nice 4 day break
Lovely lodge in an excellent location for exploring the Lake District. The site the lodge itself is located on was lovely, peaceful, well kept and litter free. The lodge was well equipped with towels, bedding, kitchen equipment, tea towels, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets to name a few. The parking at the lodge I found fine and we drive a Ford focus. We parked through the gate outside of the lodge and just kept the car in first gear for safety just incase (more for our reassurance) the lodge isn’t as far up a hill as made out on reviews on this site and other sites. We managed it just fine. Wouldn’t be suitable for those with mobility issues just to make note. The furnishings of the lodge are slightly outdated but pleasant. No matter how a lodge/caravan/hotel ect is furnished isn’t not going to be to everyone’s taste. The only negative we found is we found the attention to detail in the cleaning to be average. When we arrived at the lodge we had to hoover a lot of cobwebs hanging from the ceiling which we could tell had been there a while, the shelf above the kettle and toaster was really dusty, the kettle and the toaster needs a good wipe down. All minor but unfortunately let the lodge down. To note the toilet seat in the main bathroom isn’t fixed to the toilet and the blind in the smaller bedroom has mould all behind it, but in all fairness to the owner/maintenance staff they wouldn’t know unless they put them down which I presume they wouldn’t do
