Buttermere Lodge Reviews

Barbara
We really enjoyed our stay Buttermere Lodge. Lounge,dinning & kitchen and area where lovely & the beds were really comfy. We felt there were just 1 or 2 issues that could do with some attention, the bathroom floor felt very spongy around the sink area, the outdoor decking area could do with some attention. Also no information on any appliances, I know alot of them ate self explanatory but we could not fathom the microwave !
Fantastic lodge. As stated lovely and quiet and lovely setting with the surrounding trees. Will definitely be back. Thanks
Fantastic, well equipped and comfortable lodge which our family of 4 all felt very happy to stay in for 3 nights in February 2025. It was warm, clean and felt like a home from home straight away. The icing on the cake for us was the hot tub. Despite being only a few degrees outside, it was always fun to chill out in there. The location is superb and only 5 minutes walk to all of the amenities of Bowness, yet still very quite during the day and night. Highly recommended. Would love to stay again.
We had a great stay, the lodge was spotless on arrival. The lodge was equipped with everything we needed and more. Hot tub is a lovely bonus at the end of the day. Fantastic location for getting out and about in Bowness on Windermere without using the car. Would definitely return in the future.
Sandra
Lovely clean, comfortable lodge with added bonus of a hot tub. The site itself is situated within easy walk of Bowness which is a big plus all the facilities of the town are in way reach without having to use the car. Will definitely return.
Kashia
Amazing stay, everything to hand that we needed. Prosecco on arrival was lovely. Lodge is beautiful, clean and perfect size, hot tub was amazing and a great way to unwind.
We arrived at the Lodge on 22nd December 2024, We was absolutely thrilled to bits as they had put up a beautiful Christmas tree, also we were left a bottle of peoseco and chocolates with a Christmas card. The lodge was beautiful and very very clean I am very fussy with cleanliness and have OCD but this lodge was exceptionally clean. There was everything we needed for cooking. Bed was comfy, Hot tub was great, the location of the lodge was perfect. Our dog was happy as she could wander on the decking and have a nosey at people walking past without getting out as it secure with a gate. Would highly recommend this lodge and we will definitely be coming back. Hopefully we can book this lodge again for next year. No complaints at all, it was perfect. Thankyou
Fab lodge lovely inside and out lived the Xmas tree and hit tub and a big thanks ... Fab lodge lovely inside and out lived the Xmas tree and hit tub and a big thanks for the prosecco will definatly stay again in a superb location
Could not fault this lodge. Great location, clean, warm, and beautifully decorated. We visited the last week in November and loved the hot tub and the extra touches like the welcome bottle of Prosecco and the Christmas tree. Fantastic.
Sharon
What a beautiful Lodge. I cannot fault this. Beautifully decorated, immaculate and has everything you need. We had a welcome pack and a lovely bottle of Prosecco. The hot tub was perfect. I will definitely come back. Thank you to the owners, great customer service and generosity.
An excellent lodge. Unfortunately the bath plug did not work so could only take showers. It would be useful to have a brush to sweep the fallen leaves from the balcony.
This is the second time we have stayed in this property and this stay was as good as the last. Everything you need is provided and the welcome Prosecco is a very nice touch. Well maintained and very clean and the hot tub under the stars is amazing. Could well be booking for a third time very soon.
This was our 4th consecutive year staying at this lodge. On access to the lodge, it was clean to high standards and in close proximity to all local amenities. We would be visiting again next summer, but unfortunately, the lodge is not available for the time frames we need.
Pamela
Another great stay pity about the weather
Spotless clean, had everything we needed. Hot tub lovely. Nothing at all to complain about.
Nanette
Just returned from a 7 night stay in Buttermere Lodge at Fallbarrow Park. Very comfortable Lodge with everything that we required.The position of the Lodge is ideal to reach the site amenities and also the Lake. We would definitely plan to return at some point. Thank you. Nanette Hogan
Shirley
Beautiful lodge very clean and comfortable hot tub was amazing. Perfect location short walk to Bowness shops and restaurants. Other attractions easily reached by car and boat. Park facilities good handy little shop and coffee area. Bar and restaurant area very nice not to noisy comfortable and good food at a reasonable price, Only issue was the WiFi managed to connect to lodge WiFi but unable to connect to the internet and could not connect to park internet in the lodge only in the Clubhouse. The directions we were sent were incorrect said to exit M6 at junction 26 it should read junction 36 Also barrier code given was wrong not that it caused a problem we were just given the correct code by reception Al in all a wonderful week thank you we hope to return next year
Pamela
Wifi password in guide book but no wifi available. It says no internet once connected. It also seems to be in a blind spot for free park wifi never locked on for long but apart from that great lodge stayed here a few times and already booked to stay again
Absolutely immaculate in a prime position. We have stayed at Fallbarrow many times and this was by far the best! The hot tub was amazing. Booked again for next year!
Louise
Just back from a 4 night stay in Buttermere Lodge. Having stayed a number of times at the park, this was my first stay at this lodge. Everything was perfect, from the complimentary Prosecco on arrival. Hot tub ready to use, and so clean. The lodge itself was literally sparkling and clean. Including bed linen and towels. Everything had been thought of, soap, dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid. Definitely will be returning. Well done
Nicholas
Fantastic stay, the new update looks great. Thanks again!
Kellie
We had a great holiday but was let down when we 1st arrived to the lodge not been cleaned beds left from previous occupants, along with towels in bath tub and stains in the toilet, after calling multiple times and waiting for a call back I finally asked the people that run the property for the owner to send out some fresh linen and towels as they said no cleaner could come out so late, by now it was around 1930 this was 1830 when we first arrived after a 2 hour drive so someone came out and dropped the linen off and took the dirty bits away I had already made a pile of, I carried on cleaning and changed one bedroom when there was another knock on the door, to my delight it was 2 lovely ladies come to clean the property, they were very quick and efficient and so lovely and apologetic that it had been missed. Once all sorted by 9pm, we had 2 kids with us so we finically were able to make some food and eat, the rest of the holiday was great, hot tub was lovely, it was just a shame to arrive to a dirty lodge and kept been told Id be phoned back, I had to phone 3 times to find out what was happening and the number in the book in the lodge was for the wrong night warden, he was based at the other park up the road.

Stephanie
What a beautifully lodge. The style, decor and layout was perfect. All the facilities provided was great also . The only negative feedback I could give that there was some cobwebs and spiders that the cleaners had missed. Also a light suggest ..we actually put the 2 single beds together in the back room as we have a king bed at home and found the double to be a bit small. The lay out of the back room seemed to have more space and with the 2 beds together makes more like a superking and was still plenty of room ! Honestly was a great lodge and the only thing I would have changed was a bigger and bed .. such a great location on site and in bowness, was great to walk to places .
Very clean! great location! Short walk into bowness and a all round Lovely stay.
Lovely property and surroundings. Spotless lodge , daughter and son in law loved the hot tub. Everything you can think of was provided. Location fab. Will defo be back
Pamela
Great lodge already booked for next year
Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your lodge ! ! The lodge was spotlessly clean and comfortable, the beds were the best weve had on a holiday it was like being at home Kitchen well equipped with a lovely bottle of bubbly awaiting us, lounge again super comfortable Hot tube we all loved it Location quiet and relaxing The park itself is lovely, short walk into Bowness with plenty of great places to eat, we had a lovely relaxing week and didnt want to leave, excellent family holiday, we couldnt fault the lodge at all
Richard
Have just had a wonderful relaxing week at Buttermere Lodge. It was absolutely perfect we couldn't have asked for anything better. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and the lodge had everything we could possibly need. We had a dog with us and it certainly wasn't a problem. The hot tub was lovely and someone came every day to check on this. We hope to come back in the future and would have no hesitation in recomending Buttermere Lodge to anyone.
This is our second time at this lovely lodge. It is in an ideal peaceful location of Fallbarrow, yet close to all amenities in Bowness. The owner has installed a new kitchen and some new carpets which are lovely. Prosecco was also a lovely touch. We enjoyed our stay so much we have booked to come again in August 24 which will be our 4th year at Fallbarrow and 3rd year at this lodge. We didnt want to leave. The hot tub was well maintained and it was a well deserved break after being out and about all day. We enjoyed cosy evenings and mornings on the decking the lodge is in a peaceful and quiet area of the park.
Lovely comfortable property it would have been nice if the hot tub was under ... Lovely comfortable property it would have been nice if the hot tub was under cover rather than just an umbrella aside from that fantastic stay and would certainly recommend it
Elaine
Great dog friendly lodge in a quiet location. Our second stay in this lodge. Great weather. Loved the new kitchen and sofas, but we could not reach the the cereal bowls, plates and glasses in the high wall cupboards. We are only petite and had to ask somebody to put them on the countertop for us. Hence when we left we could not reach to put them away. Sorry!
Wonderful lodge it's got everything you need we had a lovely stay
We are returning customers and totally love this lodge and the site it is on. Everything was perfect and so nice that we are able to take the dog with us as well. My only negative I am being picky is we could have done with a larger duvet on the main bed. This is only a preference though as we are use to having a king sized duvet on a double bed.
Sharon
The lodge is gorgeous this is the 2nd time we have stayed and the closeness to Bowless is brilliant, just a five minute walk. The hot tub is the reason we coming back. Looking at later in the year now
Beautiful lodge, perfect location, very nice hot tub. Only one recommendation would be better WiFi I missed the Alexa. We will be back
The lodge was lovely and had everything we needed. It was very clean, well maintained and certainly big enough to accommodate 3 adults and a Jack Russell. The location on the park in a quiet area was perfect with a short walk to all the amenities in the park and BownessonWindermere. I would definitely recommend a stay in this lodge.
Christopher
Lovely lodge which was very clean and perfectly located. The hot tub was ideal to relax in after a long days walk. Enjoyed our stay!
