Esk Pike Reviews

Absolutely amazing lodge , very quiet and peaceful and just what we needed . We Will be back soon. We didn't want to leave.
Christina
We had the most enjoyable, peaceful and tranquil stay here at Esk Pike. Loved the bird feeder so that we could feed the birds and enjoyed watching different kinds of birds come down to eat. The lake was lovely not too far from accommodation. The lodge was beautiful and cosy. We was really impressed when we stepped in. The only one thing was the bed mattress was too firm. Very thick mattresses which is good but just too firm for our comfort but when youve got everything else in the lodge outstanding this can be bypassed. Had such a great time here.
Our stay at esk pike, white cross bay,Lake Windermere was nothing short of magical. Nestled in along the lake, in the heart of the Lake District, the cabin offered the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and breathtaking scenery. From the moment we arrived, the view of Lake Windermere was stunning. Waking up to the gentle sounds of nature created an incredibly relaxing atmosphere. The cabin itself was beautifully designed cozy yet spacious, with large windows that let in plenty of natural light and showcased the surrounding landscape. One of the highlights of the stay was undoubtedly the private hot tub. After a long day of exploring nearby walking trails and charming villages, soaking in the warm bubbles was the ultimate way to unwind. Inside, the cabin was well equipped with everything we needed. The kitchen had modern appliances, the living area was comfortable with soft furnishings and a warm, inviting feel, and the bedrooms were incredibly cozy. It felt like a true home away from home. The location was also perfect for exploring the wider Lake District. Whether it was scenic walks, boat trips on the lake, or visiting nearby towns for cafes, pubs and local shops, there was plenty to do within a short distance ambleside, Keswick,bowness lovely places that we visited. Overall, this cabin stay was an unforgettable experience. If youre looking for a peaceful escape surrounded by nature with the added luxury of a hot tub this is the perfect place to relax, recharge, and enjoy the beauty of the Lake District. I would highly recommend it to couples, friends, family or anyone wanting a tranquil getaway.
Wonderful lodge, very private, the hot tub is fantastic. It is at the top of the site within the trees. Plenty of different birds to see along with rabbits and grey squirrels. Its a good idea to buy some bird food to go in the feeders just outside the window. Some detailed information inside the lodge giving instructions for electrical appliances, TV, hot tub etc. would be helpful. Dont let this put anyone off though because the lodge and location are perfect. Would definitely stay again.
We had a fantastic stay at the Lodge. Utilised the it tub, which was lovely. Location was great , with Ambleside and Bwoness the other. The lodge felt like a home from home, and is located in a secluded part of the park. We did have to ask someone to help us find it, but all in all 1010. Will defo book here again.
Thank you so much for a wonderful festive stay. The property was clean, tidy and as described and we had a great time. Thank you for the extra Christmas touches, they really made our stay.
Stephen

Michael

Christopher
When we arrived at the lodge everything looked nice clean but the dishwasher was full of previous family pots smart tvs would only work on terrestrial tv no netflix or prime or I player the hot tub was great but overall the lodge was good clean comfortable shower a bit small but otherwise it was good driveway a bit dangerous if your not experienced driver parkdean not helpful at all .
Joanne
An Amazing Lodge in a Superb Location, The Lodge was very homely, spotlessly clean, kitchen was fully equipped everything that you would need for a stay away. Lodge was in a secluded part of the park surrounded by nature, it was lovely to sit on the balcony. We fed the birds what a list came to feed even the Woodpecker and a Deer came to visit & rabbits. Even we got to hear the Owl hooting away. The hot tub was fabulous to sit & relax. Just a suggestion for next year a wooden gazebo over the hot tub to protect from the overhanging tree. A wonderful stay didnt want to leave, would highly recommend.
Lorraine
Esk Pike 9 Best lodge we have stayed in, for the peace and tranquility, lovely woodland setting. Lodge lovely and clean and modern, beds comfortable. The only problem was when showering, the water was very slow to drain away we had to wait 15 mins before the next person could use it. We would go back and we will recommend to our friends.
WiFi didnt work at all which was frustrating. There could have been more towels, for example there was no towel in the bathroom. There were only two dishwasher tablets for a 3 night stay etc. There was some medication left in the bedroom from a previous occupant. But it was lovely and clean, well equipped kitchen, and beds very comfy. Location was great, and felt very secluded being surrounded by trees.
Andrew
Great lodge in such a lovely location on the park. The lodge was immaculate on arrival. When you are in the hot tub you feel as if you are in the middle of a secluded forest surrounded by nature. Daily visits from a woodpecker, rabbit and ducks plus you could sometimes here an owl hooting away on an evening. For anyone looking for a relaxing getaway this is the perfect setting.
Michelle
We thoroughly enjoyed are stay the lodge was spotlessly clean and had everything you need was so cosy and comfortable would definitely stay here again and would recommend to friends and family. We would have quite happily have stayed another few days enjoyed the peace and quiet just a lovely lodge .
Desiree
What a lovely cabin, refurbished to a great standard, beds very comfortable. Kitchen is well equipped, iron included, but there is no hairdryer. The hottub is great after a day walking to rest those legs. Lovely to sit out in the sun as well to have a coffee on the decking, or on the swing. It was a lovely feel looking out to the trees and watching the birds.. We fed the birds and what a list came to feed, highlight being a great spotted woodpecker. Apart from the birds there was no noise. The TV was digital so we often just watched a film on the evenings. Overall a lovely stay and would
