    “I have just returned from a week long break at The Lodge in Greystoke, Lake District, with my husband and dog.”

    We had a fantastic stay and I wouldn't hesitate to book again. From the moment we walked in we felt at home, the property was spotless and a lovely hamper was left for us. The property itself is well worth the money and rating. It is excellently appointed, spacious yet homely. There is no excess clutter and each room is tastefully decorated in keeping with the property. The gardens are lovely and the house backs onto a forest area that is part of the Greystoke Castle estate. The property ...

    We had a fantastic stay and I wouldn't hesitate to book again. From the moment we walked in we felt at home, the property was spotless and a lovely hamper was left for us. The property itself is well worth the money and rating. It is excellently appointed, spacious yet homely. There is no excess clutter and each room is tastefully decorated in keeping with the property. The gardens are lovely and the house backs onto a forest area that is part of the Greystoke Castle estate. The property sits at the edge of the 'village', a 2 minute walk along the road and had a shop/post office, swimming pool and pub serving home cooked meals. The house is comfortable enough to stay in without needing to go out, however we like to visit the area. Penrith is a 10 minute drive and is full of local amenities and some nice restaurants, we can recommend 'La Casita' (Spanish tapas) and Four and Twenty (contemporary British) as well as Chapter 12 tearooms for a great scone! Things to visit nearby: - outdoor swimming pool (1 minute from the cottage in walking distance) - Alpaca Walk from Base Camp North Lakes (18 minutes from the cottage) - Boat cruise from Pooley Bridge pier (20 minutes from cottage) - Breakfast by the river in Pooley Bridge at Granny Dowbekin's (20 minutes away) - Keswick town centre (25 minutes away) - Lake District Wildlife Park (30 minutes away) - Abbots Jersey Ice Cream park (18 minutes away) - Aira Force waterfall walk and tearoom (15 minutes away) We had a wonderful holiday, the best in a long time, I'd wholeheartedly recommend this cottage for it's comfort, luxury and cleanliness - the cottage was spotless! If you're looking for a peaceful, relaxing stay with the option of short journeys for activities. Look no further. I couldn't have asked for anymore! Thank you to the owners for having us.

Nestled in the heart of Greystoke in Cumbria, The Lodge is a historic, detached cottage dating to 1868, and was once the gatehouse serving Greystoke Castle. A pet-friendly property with enclosed, secluded gardens, The Lodge is a wonderful base for families, friends, and couples to enjoy a rural retreat, providing off-road parking, woodburning stoves, spacious gardens, and contemporary facilities. Step inside to find a fully-equipped kitchen where you can rustle up home-cooked meals by the warmth of the rustic woodburning stove. The neighbouring conservatory has a dining table for four guests to catch up over an evening meal with garden views. Alternatively, set up for alfresco dining in your enclosed garden; you'll have front and side gardens with lawn space for children to play, along with secure bike storage and established planting. Back inside, the sitting room welcomes you for relaxing afternoons in front of the woodburning stove and Smart TV, before retiring for the night. The first floor has a family shower room with a spacious walk-in shower, along with a king-size and a double bedroom. Greystoke village is a lovely base for your next staycation where you can stop for essentials at the Post Office shop, dine at The Boot & Shoe Inn, take a dip in the heated open air swimming pool. The bustling town of Penrith is close by for Penrith Castle, Penrith Golf Club, and the 13th-century ruins of Brougham Castle just on the outskirts, or perhaps make your way into the Lake District National Park. Dalemain Mansion & Historic Gardens, Ullswater and Aira Force Waterfall, and the peaks of Skiddaw and Blencathra are all waiting to be explored.

You'll also be within easy reach of the North Pennines AONB, the historic city of Carlisle, and the Solway Coast AONB. For a historic cottage in Cumbria, look no further than The Lodge.
