We came up from the midlands to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary with our two dogs, and would definitely recommend to anyone considering visiting the lakes.

Really disappointing to see a similar review in the last month that mirrors our experience. We moved the small sofa so not to get a bad neck due to the height of the TV. All sorts of rubbish and dog hair under there, same behind the large sofa - had to use the hoover ourselves to clean up. The windows in the living room are covered in cobwebs on the inside. The oven wasn't clean, very obvious to see how dirty the glass was when the light came on. The blinds in the main bedroom do not work, so are permanently down. The bathroom with the bath in, regularly smells of drains, particularly when it rains. We did experience the 'fridge rattle' - looks like lots of previous occupants have tried to fix the issue with kitchen roll stuffed in the frame, we've added our contribution. A real shame other people have commented on these issues but it would appear no action has been taken to fix the issues. Could be a nice lodge if these issues are resolved, but currently many nicer options on this site (we've tried many over the last 10 years)
