“We thought we had chosen well as we arrived at the site, then the lodge just confirmed our first impression; it is such a treat when something exceeds expectations like this.”

High Borrans is in an idyllic location, quiet and peaceful yet at the same time convenient when you want to get out-and-about; the free-roaming sheep are a particular highlight! Spinney was clean and well-equipped and an ideal size for the two of us; the high-quality yet homely feel inside the lodge and large, convenient decking area outside meant we were comfortable throughout our stay.

“My husband and I couldn't have enjoyed our stay more.”

The lodge was fabulous, it has everything we needed and was spotless. We stay in the lakes alot, lodges and holiday homes and camping; and this had to be one of the nicest stays yet! Thanks Cathy for making our lodge so cosy and comfortable. We didn't want to leave. The dog enjoyed it too. She loved running about on the decking and all the walks. We had quite a bit of rain, but in the lakes there is no such thing as bad weather..just inappropriate clothing! We stuck on our waterproofs and had some lovely walks straight from the property. Thanks again, and we really appreciated the addition of the Christmas tree! Already looking to book back up. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The peace and fabulous surroundings. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The footpaths starting from the farm are great. We enjoyed the walk to Kentmere Hall especially.

“Absolute Perfection.”

The lodge is on a remote site surrounded by beautiful countryside and is perfect for a day out exploring the many pathways. The lodge itself is immaculate, even the peeps on Channel 4's Four in a bed would have difficultly finding any specks of dust! The owners have thought of everything,the kitchen is well equipped, the bathroom is spotless. The living area is lovely to relax in, looking out onto a lovely vista. Would highly recommend High Borrans, and look forward to revisting in the New Year. What did you enjoy most about your stay? So relaxing, perfect location What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The obvious would be to take a trip into Windermere, but with so many other lakes in the area, make time to visit as many as possible.

The location was okay near enough to Windermere which is what we wanted!

Feel like they could of adjust those times! Other then that lovely stay. What did you enjoy most about your stay?

- Mr Daniel Southward, Oct 2017

Thank you for your review. It is disappointing that you were unhappy with the arrival and departure times especially as you spoke to the owner whilst there. Flexible departure times can be made by special arrangement (subject to other bookings) and this is detailed in the information you were sent prior to arrival. All you had to do was ask as when here! We were pleased you had a lovely stay at High Borrans, Spinney. It is one of a small number of luxury, one bedroom lodges just a stone's throw from Windermere where guests can enjoy a very peaceful and relaxing stay in beautiful surroundings. Owner relations

“Fantastic lodges in a great location.”

Will definitely be back in the future. There was an electricity cut between 8am and 5pm on our second day but beyond site control. Therefore still 10/10 What did you enjoy most about your stay? The peaceful location What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Aira Force

- Mr Jason Yates, Oct 2017

Thank you for the great comments and rating your stay 10/10, Jason. Spinney is a delightful lodge that is superbly designed for guests to relax in comfort and style. And as we were on the receiving end of storm Aileen, hence the power cut, where better to spend quality time than in a stunning location and cosy accommodation. Thankfully the storm soon passed for you to carry on exploring the glorious Lake District. We are so pleased to hear you will be returning - and thank you for recommending Spinney. Owner relations

“The lodges are fitted out to a very high standard with everything you would need for a short stay.”

The area provides lots of opportunities for walking with amazing views. One of the most relaxing breaks we have ever had. Would highly recommend it. What did you enjoy most about your stay?

Mr Robin Kyle Jun 2017

“We had a fantastic four days at the accomidation.”

The only disappointment was the access road leading to high borrans.This is very narrow and on day one had to reverse back a quarter of a mile to let a bus come down.The bus's should not be allowed down the lane very dangerous What did you enjoy most about your stay? relaxing on the veranda What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The Watermill brewery at Ings for a meal and real ale

- Mr Robin Kyle, Jun 2017

Thank you for reviewing your stay at High Borrans Spinney and letting us know you had a fantastic few days, Robin. We were very surprised to hear you encountered a bus en route to the farm. As the country lane is not on a bus route a possible explanation could be a mini bus from the nearby outdoor pursuits centre. It seems you had an eventful drive although the lane is used by farmers and other local residents and from time to time will be necessary to reverse or manoeuvre for vehicles to pass. We are pleased that once you reached this fantastic lodge you enjoyed relaxing on the veranda. A beautifully presented and well-equipped holiday retreat in a stunning part of the world - The Lake District has just gained World Heritage Status! Very kind of you to award top marks on all aspects of your stay and we would be delighted to welcome you again in the near future. Owner relations

Mr Dave Thomas Apr 2017

“Having stayed at the lodge quite a few times, I am delighted to say that it is a wonderful spot for a relaxing, get-away-from-it-all break at any time of year, The Spinney at High Borrans has all one could ask for and never disappoints.”

. However, since changing letting agents last year, the lodge has become quite pricey for a holiday for two which may prompt some (your reviewer included) to not make The Spinney their first choice - a shame as it really is an ideal property for anyone seeking comfort and seclusion. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The peace and quiet (excepting the natural noises of countryside and farm) What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? I would recommend a stroll up to Orrest Head for the wonderful panorama revealed there. This walk can be done from High Borrans although this does necessitate a little walking on quiet roads as well as field and low fellside.

- Mr Dave Thomas, Apr 2017

Thank you for your review, Dave and we were delighted to hear you enjoyed your latest stay at High Borrans, Spinney. All the lodges at High Borrans are very similarly priced and offer a great place for couples who want the comfort, peace and quiet that staying there offers. As a new booking agent for High Borrans, we have simply continued with the price structure we inherited and which is set by the owners. We believe they offer excellent value for money especially when staying at peak times such as Easter. You did miss out on a returning guest discount as we weren't aware you had stayed before and we will be delighted to add this retrospectively to a future stay. Owner relations
