Pros
Pet-friendly lodges available, with designated units for those traveling with dogs.
Private timber decks with gas barbecues and outdoor seating for lakeside dining.
Free Wi-Fi across the park and a DVD lending library for guest use.
Proximity to Bassenthwaite Lake and trails near Skiddaw Mountain.
Cons

“Staying here suggests a genuine escape, as the lodges provide a restful experience underscored by thoughtful touches like welcome Prosecco. The lakeside setting, best enjoyed from a private hot tub, elevates the stay; while minor maintenance issues are noted, the overall cleanliness, comfortable furnishings, and attentive service point to a property worth revisiting.”
