1st impressions last and ours was that we loved this cosy little lodge with excellent facilities and hottub, we're already planning our next trip back.

Angela

We booked this as had family staying in the connected property Lonsdale Villa so was ideal for a large family Xmas. The lodge was as described, although a little tired in places and the kitchen was slightly lacking when it came to glasses and sharp knives, although this wasnt really an issue for us as we spent most of the time next door. Property info says Alexa available but this didnt work. Only downside, the property is on bottled gas. No info about this in the info pack and we came back in the early hours and the gas had run out so we were trying to change the gas bottle over, in the dark. The owners were quick to respond and apologise but I think people should be aware and what to do if the gas does run out.

We had a great stay ideal base to explore the surrounding areas , short walk ... We had a great stay ideal base to explore the surrounding areas , short walk into town with shops and pubs ,hottub was great, the Harmitage is very peaceful and quiet would book again very happy thank you

Went for a girly chillout weekend. Arrived late so didn't really see the lodge. What a great place, must say easier to access in a smaller car as I have a 4x4. The hot tub and patio area are fabulous, the grounds well maintained. The property was well stocked. It was an ideal Base for our adventures and Penrith is a lovely little town. The slightly late check out was greatly appreciated as well

We stayed here for a couple days in August and it was honestly THE best experience! I booked The Hermitage for my partners birthday and bought along our furry companion Willow for the journey. We would not stop smiling as soon as we got there. The whole property is absolutely stunning! Even Willow could not stop doing zoomies from how happy she was! Upon entry we saw a lovely bottle of wine and biscuits laid out for us which was so sweet. There are many board games, a lovely TV, and anything you need to have a comfortable stay. The hot tub is the BEST after a long day out, laying back and looking up was just the most relaxing thing, in such a beautifully decorated space. I did have a little trouble figuring stuff out with the hot tub since I am not used to it and straight away the owners answered happily to answer any questions I had. Super helpful and super friendly! I am so happy we came here, and will definitely be coming back again, just an absolutely perfect place owned by the most loveliest people! Thank you SO much x Romy, Dillon and Willow

We booked The Hermitage as a girls trip away, the location is beautiful, it is on the grounds of a big house and it is very well kept. We didn't have any problems with our stay, it was gorgeous, but we do have a few reccomendations. There are signs saying Hot tub use prohibited after 10pm out of respect for their neighbours, however someone local was playing guitar until 12pm... When we got there, they could've provided one starter loo role as we hadn't been shopping yet and couldnt use the bathroom after a 2hr drive. Cleaner, you need to explore the bedroom roof and bed for cobwebs as there was so many dusty cobwebs. Owners were nice, we didn't meet them but they checked in and messaged.

Lovely stay in the Hermitage. Everything was exactly as described and the owners were very helpful. Great place to relax. Thank you for having us.

Michelle

Lovely log cabin. Owners very friendly and approachable. Had to call them to get instructions for access to property on arrival. Property clean, comfortable and had plenty of facilities. Hot tub lovely too. Only negative is that the outdoor area looks a little dated and none of the outdoor lights worked apart from the one off the kitchen. However, this didn't spoil our stay.

Lovely place to stay the owners thought of everything guests would need. Wine milk & biscuits on arrival was a lovely gesture. Owner contacted to check all was ok which was really nice. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic stay with very helpful hosts. They contacted us on check in day to tell us early check in was available, and communication was excellent. Lovely cottage that the family and our dog loved. Close to Ulswater, perfect location to explore the lakes.

Andrew

Clean and tidy cabin with everything you need was better than some houses would recommend to anyone

Lesley
