“Only one thing we found that let it down, we wished it had been within walking distance to a pub/restaurant.”

It is located in a beautiful setting though!

“Lovely, comfy and very well equiped.”

Plenty of wardrobe space, and to put your coats and shoes We cooked a few nights and found everything we needed. Peaceful and relaxing, we had 2 red squirrels visit and filled up the feeders with the supplies left.

Karen February 2024

“Holmedell Lodge was perfect, it was very well stocked with kitchen utensils and was warm and welcoming.”

The bed was very comfortable and the bedroom was a decent size, the wardrobes were lovely and to be honest we couldn't fault the lodge at all. We had a beautiful squirrel on the balcony getting food out of the holder's and we were only about 6 feet away, inside the lodge. We had snowfall the day before we were due to leave and the lodge was still lovely and warm. We would definitely stay again.

Rosemarie September 2023

“We loved our stay at Homedell.”

It is in a beautiful place, quiet and secluded. Lots of wildlife ( squirrels, Foxes, Badgers and an array of wild birds) The property is lovely, clean and comfortable. There is everything you will need for a great holiday. The beds are comfortable which is a bonus. We would definitely recommend this property and will return as soon as possible.

- Rosemarie, September 2023

Thank you Property Owner
Paul August 2023

“This is a really wonderful place to spend a holiday.”

The setting is a very peaceful and tranquil holiday park with the lodges well spaced out in beautiful grounds. Plenty of wildlife roaming around, including the red squirrels eating just outside the living room. The lodge was immaculately clean with everything we needed and more being provided. Its a very comfortable place to stay and has all the facilities you need for a break. The location is superb, being in the heart of the Lakes and close enough to local places of interest. Highly recommended. I wouldn't hesitate to book again.

- Paul, August 2023

Thank you Property Owner
Pippa August 2023

Steve June 2023

“Very clean and maintained, with everything we needed for our stay.”

The price was good value for money. The location was lovely and so quiet, we enjoyed watching and feeding the wildlife. We definitely recommend this lodge

- Steve, June 2023

Thank you Property Owner
Stewart June 2023

“The property was very clean and well equipped.”

The only issue was the cleanliness of the outside furniture and decking area, it didn't look like it had been cleaned for months.

- Stewart, June 2023

I am pleased you found the property to be clean and well equipped. Thank you for drawing the outside area to my attention. The overhanging trees from the neighbouring site and debris left by the red squirrels coming to feed is a constant issue. I will arrange for the matter to be attended to. I can now confirm that I have taken up this matter with the Housekeeping Team. There is a new cleaning schedule in place to prevent a further occurence. Property Owner
Debra April 2023

Thank you Property Owner
Amanda September 2022

“Cottage was lovely, cleanest I’ve stayed in for a long time.”

Only thing was there were no nice places to walk the dog way from the cottages.

- Amanda, September 2022

Thank you for your kind comment about our lovely clean Lodge. As for a nice place to walk the dog, there is the whole of the beautiful Lake District National Park close by. Property Owner
Jason September 2022

“Lovely lodge in a nice quiet location.”

Our dog loved watching the rabbits and hens playing near the pond, with the occasional red squirrel making a visit. The lodge was nice and clean. The kitchen was stocked with everything you'd need for self catering, more than usual for other lodges, which was a nice touch. We were welcomed with a couple of complementary drinks in the fridge. Only downside is there are what we think to be mice venturing into the roof or wall cavities. Every night between 11-3am we were woken up to loud scratching and gnawing noises in the ceiling above the bed. One night in particular it continued for about an hour, it sounded as if something was attempting to gnaw its way into the room, I had to resort to knocking the ceiling with the sweeping brush in the hopes of scaring it off, I even popped outside to to make sure there was nothing on the roof, whatever it is sounds determined to get in, as it kept coming back.

- Jason, September 2022

Thank you for your positive comments about our Lodge. We work hard to make guests feel comfortable. I am sorry that your particular visit was spoiled by the noise in the roof space which was probably caused by a mouse. Thank you for drawing this to our attention. We have taken appropriate steps to prevent re-occurance of the problem. Property Owner
Jill September 2022

“They have thought of everything you need.”

The best lodge we have stayed in, on a lovely site too.

- Jill, September 2022

Thank you. We have worked hard to anticipate the needs of our guests and appreciate your comments. Property Owner
Paul August 2022

“What a fantastic place, we had such a great time.”

The lodge was simply perfect. Can't fault this place.

- Paul, August 2022

Thank you. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Property Owner
Audrey August 2022

“A home from home.”

Very clean and comfortable. Everything you need for self-catering and more. This last week has been very hot so could have done with a fan as lodge got very warm. The outside area is well equipped with tables, chairs and parasol. A BBQ was also provided and all set ready to use. The site is very quiet and peaceful.

- Audrey, August 2022

Thank you for your time to provide feedback. I´m sorry that you found the Lodge too warm - the fan is in the wardrobe in the twin bedroom. Property Owner
Cathy July 2022

“Enjoyed out holiday very much would stay again .”

Brian December 2021

“Wow, we booked the holmedell cabin for a relaxing break over the Christmas holidays and what a relaxing break it was, first off the cabin itself was better than it appears in the advertising, it has everything we needed inside and more, it’s placed in a lovely quit spot with no passing traffic or people on the edge of a large beautiful pond and the wildlife is a joy to sit and watch, if you want peace and tranquillity here it is.”

Linda October 2020

“Holmedell is a lovely homely lodge on a small peaceful holiday park.”

The lodge itself has everything you need for a relaxing break and is in a good location for exploring the Lakes. Would definitely go again and would recommend it to family and friends.

- Linda, October 2020
Rebecca October 2020

“Holmedell was stunning!”

It had everything and more than what we needed, extremely clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again. Perfect for a few nights away in the lakes. My parter and dog enjoyed the wildlife while i enjoyed the peace with a glass of wine. It was perfect.

- Rebecca, October 2020

Richard January 2020

“This was our first time with Sykes or any type of holiday cottage for that matter and we loved it.”

The lodge is v cosy. We took loads of stuff up that we didn't need in the kitchen Eileen has covered all bases with Holmedell. We had a great time thanks again. Cheers

Maddie November 2019

“Absolutely loved it.”

Beautiful cabin and so clean. Well equipped. Couldn’t have wanted more.

- Maddie, November 2019
Janet August 2019

“This place should be available on prescription as a cure for the stresses of life.”

The location was perfect for exploring the Lakes from the coast to the top of the highest mountain in England. There is quite literally everything you need in the lodge which was spotlessly clean and thoughtfully organised. The welcome pack of milk, but juice, wine and beers was a nice gesture too, t The lodge is situated at the end of the site, so no cars are passing, ensuring plenty of privacy too. In addition, there is the pleasure of watching the cheeky red squirrels that turn up throughout the day to feed and scamper about just outside the doorway. Although the weather was not great when we stayed, the lodge is well located to explore other attractions and near local shopping for food or for dining out. We are already planning to return as we felt so at home there.

- Janet, August 2019
Charmian July 2019

“Sykes Cottages customer service was really helpful in flexing the start and end rental dates for the lodge (a number of other competitors refused to budge even though they are available!”

). The lodge is situated in a very serene surrounding, away from the busy parts of the lakes, about 20-30 mins drive from Keswick. Lodge is very well equipped and comfortable. Will definitely come back again!

- Charmian, July 2019
Gary December 2018

“Have been a number of times now.”

Everything is great,beautiful area And very easy to navigate to from the motorway.Only one disappointing thing the forest is still closed and there is no information on when or if it will open for walking again,this is quite a big factor for us as it was such a beautiful place to walk.However the accommodation is fantastic and I will return in the near future.Highlly recommended. Thank you once again. Gaz.

Veronica September 2018

“This is one of the best Sykes holidays I have been on.”

There is everything you can think of for an enjoyable holiday albeit going out or staying in. It was everything we were looking for...... peace and quiet, really clean with entry of entertainment I.e. games,dvds and books.

- Veronica, September 2018
Melanie August 2018

“Lovely lodge in a lovely quiet setting with everything we needed”

- Melanie, August 2018
Sandra June 2018

“The lodge is lovely, set in very tranquil surroundings with lots of visiting wildlife.”

There were ample facilities in the accommodation, suited for all weather conditions. Our hosts had left a lovely welcome gift which was much appreciated and it was just a shame we were only there for a few days. Nearby are some beautiful lakes and lots of lovely places to visit. I think if I could suggest a couple of improvements, they'd be a lighter weight duvet as it was far too heavy for the sunny weather conditions and an electric fan would be good. Really enjoyable short break.

- Sandra, June 2018
Katie June 2018

“Gorgeous peaceful location!”

Loads to do in driving distance. I don't think I've ever slept in a bed so comfy away from home!

The property

Holmedell is in a stylish lodge in a privileged spot overlooking the central pond at Duke's Meadow.

The Lodge is perfectly based for exploring the Northern Lakes and Eden Valley, ideally located a few minutes off the M6, with Ullswater a 10 minute drive and Keswick just 30 minutes away.

A trip over Kirkstone Pass will not only treat you to some spectacular scenery but will take you down into to the bustling Ambleside and Bowness on Windermere. The park has 30 pine clad lodges, but with only a small few being available as holiday accommodation, this peaceful and charming location is a real gem for tourists.

The trickling stream running through the centre of the park only adds to the tranquility and each lodge has its own garden with views over the countryside to the Lakeland Fells.

There is an abundance of wildlife such as hare, deer and if you are lucky you may even catch a glimpse of the red squirrels.

The location of the lodges means there are ample walking opportunities from the front door.

The neighbouring Greystoke Forest and the surrounding countryside are all easily accessible, whilst the Lakeland Fells are all within a short drive.

Holmedell is furnished and equipped to cater for all your needs, and as the name suggests, overlooks the small pond, one of the best positions on the park.
