Spent a long time trying to find a reasonably priced hotel/B&B last minute they day before travelling to Thirlmere. Booking was simple and easy and a quick phonecall to the hotel let us know the surcharge for taking a dog. Hotel looks lovely from the outside and I was not disappointed when I got inside. We arrived rather late but... More

After reading on a website a less than complimentary review of The Lodge I had some apprehension about having booked accommodation there, but, thank goodness, we pressed on and soon wondered whether the writer had confused The Lodge with somewhere else: our own experience could not have been more different. In every respect (apart from the shortage of car parking... More

Dear David Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I'm pleased that your mind was put to rest when you arrived and that you and your dog had a comfortable stay. I would like to point out that you might have missed the large car park to the rear of the property and might have only seen the three spaces we... More

Rooms are a decent size, clean, modern, have good plumbing and a decent TV. Location is a small village and there are no pubs or restaurants in strolling distance, however Keswick is less than 10 minutes by car and there is a bus service, the stop being a 100 metres or so away. You can walk into the hills straight... More

A one night stay on a last minute whim. Good choice by my fiancé. The property has a proper lodge feel about it. It's a very clever set up and was modern, clean and comfortable. There was a great cafe on site and the whole atmosphere was very relaxed. The staff were really lovely with beaming smiles and a friendly... More

Excellent service, great rooms, very pretty location and local pub just down the road was a treat (Kings Head). Continental breakfast was very good. Definitely recommend and would definitely stay there again.

Looks good on the internet but not as nice in real life! Bathroom not cleaned to my own standards. Bin still had the last guests rubbish in it. Breakfast was ok, but I wouldn't stay again, quite expensive too. General staff apathy.

I would like to apologise for the housekeeping shortcomings, however I'm surprised that you thought there was a feeling of apathy amongst the staff.
