2nd Stay

This was our second stay at Grandpas lodge. We felt it was excellent last year and it remains excellent this year. The lodge has everything you could need and more, they also supply some bits to help keep things clean, dishwasher tabs, kitchen towel etc etc. Doesn’t sound much but makes all the difference. Great outdoor decked area and space to park directly outside. Easy to book just wish you could book the weather!

Easter break

Had a very enjoyable stay at this lodge. We were very lucky with the weather which made the private sunny deck even more enjoyable. Perfectly positioned on the site and everything you could want was included. Would definitely return here.

Lovely break at Windermere

Stayed with wife and two young boys and we loved it. Ideal location on the park, close to the amenities but still quiet enough and very close to the lake and excellent views, especially the sunset! Lodge itself was spacious, well furnished and equipped to a high standard Would definitely return

Enjoyable stay at grandpas

Had a lovely comfortable stay at Grandpas lodge.The location was perfect, the views were stunning. The lodge was cleaned to a high standard. Would highly recommend anyone to stay here. We will definitely be returning. Hats off to the owners, everything has been well thought out. Also, there are hair driers in the lodge so you do not need to take one. We actually touched lucky as the weather was good for the whole time we were there.
