“We returned to Sunny Brow after my partner stayed here 10 years ago — this time with our two dogs and our 3-year-old.”
Remarkably, the lodge still had the same charm he remembered, with a few thoughtful updates: the decking felt more spacious and the hot tub had been relocated, offering a better seating area.
The highlight was definitely the view — a stunning, uninterrupted outlook over Lake Windermere, arguably one of the best on site. The lodge itself was clean, tidy and welcoming.

There were just a couple of minor issues: some dust and bits under the sofa (only noticed while retrieving toys), and no cooking trays initially. That said, we were really impressed with the response from the maintenance team — within 20 minutes of calling, two new trays were delivered right to our door. Brilliant service!
One small point to note: with several tall adults (6ft+) in our group, we did find the beds a little on the small side, which affected our sleep quality. Slightly larger beds would’ve made a big difference.
Location-wise, it’s perfect — just 5 minutes to Ambleside and Windermere, and surrounded by natural beauty. We had a truly lovely stay and are already planning to return next year. Thank you for another memorable visit!
