    “This was in a great location to explore the Lakes and is a bus stop a short walk away of you don’t want to drive.”

The site is great for families, young couples and older ones too with a lovely walk to the marina. The lodge had little extras that they don’t mention, such as … A cupboard with games in for those rainy nights Feeding bowels for dogs, a couple of leads and poo bags in case you forgot yours.

    Heading into Windermere there is a petrol station with a Spar attached which is a well stocked shop and reasonably priced too. The site is great for families, young couples and older ones too with a lovely walk to the marina. The lodge had little extras that they don’t mention, such as … A cupboard with games in for those rainy nights Feeding bowels for dogs, a couple of leads and poo bags in case you forgot yours. When we went there was salt, pepper, foil and washing up liquid which was a great help. The kitchen is fully stocked with plates, chops, glasses and utensils and pans etc and there is a dishwasher too. This was a great stay which was reasonably priced too. The only downside is it’s made me want to buy a lodge on the resort.
