For Families

Everything's on one floor with open-plan living. Wake to countryside views together. Nearby pubs within walking distance mean romantic meals without driving. Reviewers consistently praise it for anniversary celebrations.

The Lodge Reviews

Beautiful lodge. The location was lovely and very private, we were lucky enough to have clear skies and the stars were wonderful. The lodge had everything you need, it was very clean, and parking was easy. We would definitely stay here again.

What a treat this beautiful little cottage was! This was our first little holiday away together as a couple and it was SO perfect! Set in the beautiful countryside, it was clean, modern but still had a lovely cottagey feel.. a lovely big squidgy sofa in front of log burner which we fired up every night, beautifully comfy bed, and a lovely warm bubbly hot tub to come home to and stargaze after a day out hiking.. The kitchen was clean, stylish and fully kitted out with everything we needed, including a dishwasher who wants to wash up on holiday! and washing machine. The bathroom had underfloor heating which was ideal for getting towels dry after hottubbing, and a lovely big shower.. All bedding, towels, and complimentary toiletries are included and there was even a welcome bottle of wine and a box of local fudge waiting on our arrival.. The whole cottage is beautifully decorated and looks amazing inside and out.. We thoroughly loved our stay and would come back in a heartbeat.. The owners were lovely and very helpful and easy to contact if needed.. This cottage is a firm 1010 and we would highly recommend it..

Samantha

We stayed at The Lodge for Christmas week and were also incredibly lucky to have beautiful weather which really showed off the views from the accommodation. We found the heating system a little noisy in the morning but ear plugs would work for light sleepers. Having said that the cottage was lovely and warm which made it very cosy. Also the fire place and hot tub were big selling points for me when looking for a place to stay, and they did not disappoint especially after lots of walking and making it festive for Xmas eve and Xmas day night. Our final night the sky was completely clear and we could see all the stars whilst relaxing in the hot tub which was a great way to end our stay. The kitchen is so well equipped and I was even able to make a full Christmas dinner for us both which I was nervous about in a kitchen that wasn't my own, but it had everything we needed. The cottage was really clean and felt modern, yet in keeping with the Lake District charm. I'd certainly recommend it to friends and family and would stay again. It was in a nice quiet location, yet a short drive from all things we needed. Many thanks for all the small touches too. We loved our stay and it contributed to a wonderful, calm Christmas. Wishing you well for 2026 and anyone reading this you will not be disappointed so get booking!

This accommodation was absolutely perfect! ! It had the best equipped kitchen I've ever seen at a cottage. The hottub was ready to use and the couch was super comfy. An ice cube tray was the only thing we missed, but we managed to find some ice cubes at the shop at the holiday park down the road. We would love to come back

Just enjoyed a fabulous week at The Lodge. The accommodation is clean and well looked after. Also the reassurance of knowing the owner is happy to be contacted in case of any problems. The hot tub was great after a day out walking, not overlooked so no trunks no problem! I recommend a visit to The White Hart, nice ale and great food. If you're returning after dark a torch and some high visibility clothing is a good idea. Fond memories.

This was our second visit to the lodge. we love its location and the single level open plan accommodation. the hot tub is a definite plus point but the garden isn't the most dog friendly. it's safe but not ideal for a quick toilet trip in the morning or if your dog needs to go in the night. the lodge is well equipped and comfortable but the shower is not hot enough even on the highest setting. overall very nice place

Robert

We have just spent a week at The Lodge and it was absolutely fantastic. It was so spacious, clean and everything was there to accommodate our stay, with many added extras and touches. The area was great for lovely walks with our dog right on our doorstep also with nothing being to far away when exploring and visiting places, everyone we met was friendly and polite. The mobile fish and chip visit on a Saturday at Black Beck was a nice treat for a chippy tea! Waking up and having our coffee on the outdoor seating area with breathtaking views and gorgeous sunshine was lovely as was seeing the butterflies on the bush the cattle in the fields also the farmer bailing. Great communication & welcome pack with milk and wine in the fridge which was appreciated. At the end of our busy days and visiting places of interest the hot tub was an added bonus to relax in and enjoy. I have never slept so well which boosted my well being whilst being able to enjoy the fresh air, relax and enjoy this holiday. Thank you so much for a wonderful and delightful 5 star stay. Kind regards Lisa. August 2025.

Tracey

What more can I say! ! The lodge is perfect in every way!! Lovely and clean, spacious, perfect location!! Would highly recommend!! We are definitely coming back next year!!

Jillian

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location, quiet & peaceful. The cottage was both spotless, comfortable & well maintained.

Caroline

We loved our stay at The Lodge. When we first arrived everything was lovely and clean plus the welcome pack of milk and wine was appreciated. Overall it is well equipped and placed in a beautiful part of the world. We found lots of lovely, level walks on our doorstep which our elderly cocker spaniel loved. Plus it is a great base to check out other attractions in the area. The hot tub is the icing on the cake, lovely to relax in with a glass of wine. Plus it is well maintained. If, like us, you are looking for peace and quiet, love birds and wildlife and looking to get away from it all then this is the place for you. We cannot thank the owners enough for sharing this gem with us. We liked it so much that we have already booked for next year!

We had a wonderful stay at the Lodge. Highly recommend. Wonderful location, everything we could ask for was provided. We found the Lodge to be warm and very comfortable and the hot tub was a welcome bonus after long hilly walks. Would definitely return.

Excellent!!!

We had a lovely weeks stay at the Lodge, and on first entering the cottage, we couldn't fault it, but as we got more settled in the cracks started to appear, the hot water tap in the kitchen was an absolute pain, if you put it on full the water stopped coming out, so you could only open it slightly, it was quicker to boil a kettle, the internet wasn't really usable, it was very intermittent and streaming was a no go, the double bed was tiny, and we aren't large people, I slept on the sofa a couple of nights, and lastly, I tried to puff the pillows up on the sofa and the amount of dust that came out gave me an asthma attack, I would like to return but if these things are fixed, for the amount of money you pay, I would have hoped there wouldn't have been any of these faults.

Stewart

Myself and husband came to stay stay at the lodge to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary this weekend. The lodge was located in a beautiful area, nice and tucked out of the way and we woke to beautiful views & sheep every morning! We was fairly close by to alot of attractions and only a minute drive from lake Windermere. The cottage itself was lovely, had everything you could need for your stay. The only thing I would say its that there could have been a few more fire logs for the fire for an evening as we had to limit it them to make them last for our stay. Lots of memories made and our dog loved it too! Overall our stay was very pleasant and the location of the cottage was perfect for us and we very much enjoyed our time there. Also great touch having a list of recommendations of places to visit

Claire

The lodge was stunning & comfortable with absolutely everything you need . Set in a ideal location for local walks & great pubs

Adrian

As in the welcome pack it was stated that there would be a visit on a Monday and Friday morning to check the hot tub unfortunately nobody came on Monday morning whilst we were there by Wednesday we felt restricted by the amount of water in the hot tub although it didn't stop working for us,also the views were amazing and walks around the lanes were quite breath taking

Lovely little property and very well equipped, the weather was against us from the start with storm Lillian, so we made the decision to come home 5 days early so didn't get to do what we wanted. We would definitely go back to the Lake district to see what we didn't

Jacqueline

Wonderful cottage and so central to visit all the places around. We had fantastic weather when we were there and the dog loved it too. The hot tub was great to chill out in as it was getting dark. Definitely recommend and will definitely book again. Thanks Ian and Julie xx

Claire

Amazing stay! The Lodge was a cosy and idyllic space. We enjoyed the outside space too! The property has all you need for a fantastic stay!

Tracey

Absolutely loved this Lodge , clean, comfortable, everything there we needed , hot tub amazing after walking everyday , only a short drive to Bowness and Ambleside. Lovely views also . First time to Lake District and so glad we stayed here , best location ever much preferred to the hustle and bustle experience In the more well known regions. Will definitely be back next year and thank you Ian for the processco and milk provided for us on arrival

Philip

This is our 4th stay at The Lodge and again it was a lovely stay. Overall we have no complaints as everything is as described and will certainly be back. However, there was an issue with the pressure of the hot water in the kitchen and that needs addressing. The bedding was lovely clean and fresh but the throw at the end of the bed could maybe do with a freshen up as it had a smell of dog. Overall we had a lovely stay and would always highly recommend the lodge as its beautiful and great base to explore the Lakes.

We had a lovely short break at The Lodge. Very clean and well equipped and the owners were responsive to our queries. There is an entrance to a caravan park adjacent with some passing cars as mentioned in other reviews, but that did not bother us. We appreciated the proximity to local towns and villages whilst also feeling like it was an escape from hustle and bustle. There are a few nice walks on the doorstep and we enjoyed watching the sheep from the kitchen window waiting for the kettle to boil. The log fire was lovely and the hot tub is a bonus after long day out walking and exploring. We are used to a superking bed and this was only a double one night I slept on the sofa to have a bit more room but that was the night my Garmin gave me an 'excellent' sleep score so I can vouch that the sofa was comfortable too!

Amazing relaxing break from me the mrs and dog. Would absolutely recommend and we are booking again. Little things like what the owners provide on top is so help full. With the location just making things so easy.

Lovely comfortable cottage, well equipped with all the kitchen equipment you would need, plenty of towels too. Logs were provided for the fire aswel as coal if needed but could do with something better than cigarette lighters to light it, like a safety gas lighter. Hot tub was great but could do with some kind of overhead cover so it's useable when raining. On the down side the economy 7 water heating was very noisy during the early hours of the morning and the hot water pressure was very low and we only managed a small trickle of water from the hot tap in the bathroom. I would advise to take torches as we had a power cut for one and have hours on one night and the neighbouring cottage said it was very common and always happens. Short walk to the White Heart pub which is worth a visit and lots of other places to visit nearby.

Stuart

Had a lovely weekend here, would definatley book here again.

Philip

So good we have booked again

We loved this dog friendly, very clean cottage. enjoyed walks directly from the cottage and is a good base to explore windermere, Ambleside and our favourite, grasmere. we would also recommend roanhead if you like a good dog friendly beach. the local pub is friendly and we can recommend the Sunday dinner which is served both lunch and evening. the hot tub was a welcomed addition after long walks the only slight niggle was being at the entrance to the caravan park. we always search for isolated cottages which this was listed as such. it is isolated but traffic in and out of the caravan park detracted from that a bit. didn't spoil anything though. we would definitely use again

This was our second visit to The Lodge at Bouth and we will definitely be returning again in the future. Everything was top quality with lots of information about local walks, pubs and facilities near by. Being able to relax in the hot tub after a long walk just added to the holiday. Thank you so much for a fantastic holiday.

Gordon

Lack of hot water pressure was the only down side

The accommodation was great, the added extras provided by the hosts are such a wonderful touch. The property is in such a good location for so many destinations and is a great base. We had the best time and would definitely return.

Gillian

Wonderful cottage, very peaceful! An ideal base for exploring The Lake District! We feel very relaxed after a long weekend here!

Incredible little cottage. We had such a warm, comfortable stay. Everything we needed was at hand. So clean and tidy. We made the lodge our home for the weekend and, if I thought I could afford it, would be putting an offer on the property. Perfectly sited, the Lodge comes highly recommended to anyone and everyone.

Richard

Cosy well furnished and decorated romantic retreat. We loved the peaceful area and views from the cottage windows lots of walks available on the doorstep ideal location for touring the lake district.

Cannot wait to stay there again

William

Danielle

We had a wonderful week at the lodge, it was so peaceful and the location is perfect for exploring the lakes. The lodge has everything you need for a comfortable stay and the hot tub and log burning stove were perfect after a day exploring. Despite the fact we stayed in January I would have liked to have a table and chairs in the garden outside to sit and enjoy the views and read but it didn't take away from our experience which was 5 star we will definitely book again. Thank you for all your help too with our queries which were answered promptly. We recommend booking the lodge as you won't be disappointed.
