Lovely food, nice bar drinks and comfortable, newly refurbished rooms. Great breakfast. One night stop which was very enjoyable. Big thanks to Mary the brilliant barmaid for her great service, banter and humour!!"

"Our room was lovely all the staff were very friendly and helpful "

"The Lilac Barn was lovely, exactly as it looks in the pictures, clean & spacious with a wonderful welcome bundle. I can’t recommend it enough to anyone looking for a place to stay, just outside the hustle & bustle of the Lakes."

"The house was located in Askham where we were going to a wedding. It was super clean and so convenient. Near a pub where other friends were staying and just around the corner from the town store. Very private but central to everything. We would definitely stay there again. Was absolutely perfect!"

"We loved our stay at the lodge; it is beautifully decorated and in a lovely, peaceful location. The mobile wifi was a fab addition! The check-in process was incredibly easy and the neighbours sparse. For being a lodge park, it's incredibly quiet. The lodge is set above the more tightly-spaced lodges so I believe we only saw traffic from one other lodge so if you're looking for a quiet escape, this is your place. We especially appreciated the decoration in the lodge, it was somehow both modern & vintage, minimalist yet detailed. It's beautiful! The lodge is in a superb location for access to the lakes and only a short drive away from Patterdale. Penrith is a short hop skip and jump away and there's plenty of countryside to stroll through in the immediate vicinity. Not that we walked about; once you sit in those sofas, you sink into the comfort and just don't want to leave. The only two things of note would be: we were fine on Vodafone, but the Uber driver did lose mobile phone reception in the last two minutes of the drive. The second point will only be relevant to pet owners: the garden isn't 100% secure. Children will be unlikely to disappear, but smaller dogs will absolutely be able to escape without struggling, and the cars drive up that road surprisingly fast. We just chucked some boxes at the edge of the fence to make it a bit more difficult and ours isn't likely to venture out behind the shed (the 2nd possible escape route), but it's just something to note!"
