Where's Hartsop Fold?

Glen, Tyne & Wear

Date of stay: 17th August 2018

Just Fantastic !

Adam, Bury

Date of stay: 13th August 2018

We stayed in Lowther. Really nice cabin with the best view on the site. Located right next to the public footpath heading towards patterdale with a beautiful view overlooking the hills from the balcony where the hot tub is. Ideal location for people with pets. A lovely waterfall 10 mins walk up the lane towards patterdale from the lodge. The cabin has everything you need for self catering. The only recommendations we would make to anybody looking to stay here are that the WiFi is quite poor so we took some dvds and games for night time. And the cupboards could be stocked up with more household essentials such as tin foil and cellophane to wrap up sandwiches or food in the fridge, rather than nipping to the shops. Tea or coffee is provided but better to take your own. All in all a great place to stay for our short break and would definitely go again. The views around this place are amazing!! Highly recommended. Thankyou! :) Adam & Hannah

Alan

Great lodge very well kept and clean, with perfect views and little noise. Only slight negative was wifi only available in reception.

Katie

Loved it so much , have booked to go again. Struggle to find anything bad to say about the lodge... ok the double bed squeaks is the best I can think of! The lodge is well equipped and the porch is a brilliant addition for muddy boots and wet dogs ! The lodge is on a lovely quiet park , with breathtaking views.

Stacey

We stayed for a week over Christmas and I was expecting a rickety old shack but it was lovely! Bit out in the sticks but not a problem if you enjoy walking or have a car. There was some fab little touches in the lodge, such as a bottle of wine and Christmas card on arrival, and itâ€™s equipped with everything you might need! Canâ€™t recommend this place enough!

Michael

Very tranquil area Lodge generally vey clean except sealant in shower was mouldy
