But the lodge wasnât clean. Weird residue on cutlery. Cobwebs everywhere inside and especially outside the lodge. When you open a door from the outside thereâs colonies of insects living inside the door frames. WiFi never worked, TV wouldnât connect to any type of network, luckily we brought an XBOX down. Honestly if there was a little more effort on cleaning the lodge, it would of easily been 4 stars

The location of the site itself was perfect - set in a stunning peaceful valley with incredible views but only a 8-12 minute drive to Ambleside, Windermere & Bowness. Thereâs a great pub on site with pool table, darts board & sky sports, plus a small conveince shop at reception. Booths supermarket is only 8 mins away too. The lodge itself was everything we could have asked for - clean, spacious, comfortable & ridiculously well equipped! The kitchen is a good size & had every pan & utensil you could need - pint glasses & plastic hot tub glasses were a bonus! The hot tub was powerful without being noisy & the views of the fields were bliss (plus we enjoyed spotting the occasional sheep!) Internet & smart TV in the lounge was spot on & check in and out was seamless. We couldnât have asked for more, the owners have a gem on their hands with this one & weâre very much hoping to be booking again! 5* all round
