Quite remote but next to farmhouse and another lodge. Scenery beautiful. The owner popped over to check everything was in order. Would recommend.

The lodge is a good size, extremely clean and comfortable. There is no phone signal whatsoever but this is more than made up for with a very good, super fast WiFi. Better than at home in London! Beautiful views all down the valley and some lovely walks right from the door. Good location for exploring Windermere and the rest of the lakes further afield. Had a wonderful time that went too quickly, would recommend.
