Lovely lodge, very cosy and made even cosier by the wood burner which was a highlight of our stay.
Lovely lodge, very cosy and made even cosier by the wood burner which was a highlight of our stay. It’s close to all the beautiful locations we wanted to visit as part of our short Lake District break. We had a few issues which were dealt with the next day. The pictures are a bit misleading, this is a lodge on the edge of a large lodge park and quite close to the other lodges. It does have a lovely garden overloooking fields on one side but the other three sides are right next to other lodges and their cars.

Fabulous especially if you have a dog as excellent enclosed garden.
Fabulous especially if you have a dog as excellent enclosed garden. All amenities you could want and very clean. Short drive to large supermarket but in very quiet area only 4 miles from Ullwater. You do need to drive every where.

We loved Glendowlin Lodge and for us it was a very different location to past visits to the lakes.
We loved Glendowlin Lodge and for us it was a very different location to past visits to the lakes. Different but great. The lodge was very comfortable with lots of room for our party of four adults and a dog. We will come back again and would recommend it for others.Negatuves:The WiFi is not free unless your with EE.The driveway was a bit tight for a long car to turn round in front of the lodge. The heating was a bit excessive but turning off the storage heaters sorted that.
This property is just amazing,it’s like a home from home with a fully equipped kitchen, large living, dining area and a beautiful modern kitchen .. the peace and tranquility is wonderful thoroughly enjoyed watching the rabbits running around freely enjoying the lovely weather we enjoyed … would thoroughly recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful quiet break in your own grounds with lovely views of the surrounding countryside…😊😊😊😊😊

We had a very good time in this cottage.
We had a very good time in this cottage. The quiet location with the nice views from all the windows, a lot of space to relax outside, the inside of the cottage with the cosy livingroom, the kitchen with all equipment to make good meals, the dishwasher :-), the bedrooms with comfortable beds and the two bathrooms: perfect for a family of 5! We highly recommend this place!The start of a lot of beautiful walks in the Lake District are within 45 mins. distance.We visited Keswick, Ambleside, Grasmere and of course Penrith nearby. The Penrith Agricultural Show was very funny. Supermarkets in Penrith are only 10 mins. by car.
