It was the ideal place to stay, we spent most of our time out and about with friends and exploring different parts of Cumbria. The baby travel cot in the main bedroom was a bonus! Would definitely recommend and will certainly book to stay here again x

We have stayed there a few times so knew what to expect. The lodge was in a good location but was a bit dated. We had a couple of cleanliness issues. A Cushion cover on the sofa was badly marked and one of the single bed sheets had a large yellow stain on it. (Urine). Not things that should be missed. We would use this lodge again as we know what to expect.

The cleaner needs to check the draws in the kitchen as we found some food left in there couple of bags of potatoes, and back of the sofas as we found a jumper but other that was very clean. Also the park it's self should have a warden as people making noise at 2am coming back from wherever and cars driving round the park at that time (if the owner mention that to the park about the noise)
