“We stayed at The Lodge for Christmas week and were also incredibly lucky to have beautiful weather which really showed off the views from the accommodation.”
We found the heating system a little noisy in the morning but ear plugs would work for light sleepers. Having said that the cottage was lovely and warm which made it very cosy. Also the fire place and hot tub were big selling points for me when looking for a place to stay, and they did not disappoint especially after lots of walking and making it festive for Xmas eve and Xmas day night. Our final night the sky was completely clear and we could see all the stars whilst relaxing in the hot tub ...

Our final night the sky was completely clear and we could see all the stars whilst relaxing in the hot tub which was a great way to end our stay.
The kitchen is so well equipped and I was even able to make a full Christmas dinner for us both which I was nervous about in a kitchen that wasn't my own, but it had everything we needed.
The cottage was really clean and felt modern, yet in keeping with the Lake District charm. I'd certainly recommend it to friends and family and would stay again. It was in a nice quiet location, yet a short drive from all things we needed.
Many thanks for all the small touches too. We loved our stay and it contributed to a wonderful, calm Christmas. Wishing you well for 2026 and anyone reading this you will not be disappointed so get booking!

Hi Samantha, Really good to hear that The Lodge contributed to your calm and wonderful Christmas - that's what we aim for. We look forward to welcoming you back. (Small note on heating system for potential bookers - the noise is from the emersion heater for hot water (not radiators) and when its timed to come on can be altered so as not to potentially disturb sleep.)
