By Russell on 31-Aug-2025We spent a week at Deborah's lodge and it exceeded expectations. Greeted by Deborah's husband, he gave us the full tour along with a very generous welcome basket. The lodge was very clean and spacious for the 6 of us with 2 bathrooms and showers which was great so there was no line for the bathrooms in the morning. The kitchen was great for self catering with everything we needed. The outdoor areas were great sun traps and ideal for a BBQ and a nice little corner to watch the sun set was great. The area is very quiet and peaceful yet only a 5 minute drive to Penrith and on a good run 25 minute to Keswick so you have everything you need within easy reach. Pooly Bridge and Ullswater was very close by, an area we hadn't been too before. Lots to see within cycle distance too including Haweswater. Would highly recommend and we will be back. Thanks gain for a lovely stay.

Claire's review
By Claire on 01-Jun-2025Great communication with Deborah beforehand and a very warm welcome at check-in (in-person, you don’t get that often anymore!) Beautiful, locally sourced welcome hamper, great recommendations for local spots to visit and a beautiful home. The house was spacious for 7 of us, including 3 energetic children, and had a great selection of books and board games. Clean, peaceful, quiet and private location. Comfortable beds, very warm and cozy and had all we needed. We would love to return again! Would highly recommend.
