One of the best accommodations I have ever stayed in, the grounds were lovely, the views were great and not to far from the lakes. It is a great please to stop at and to use as your base for exploring the Lake District or just to use as a retreat to get away from it all and just kick off your shoes & relax.

Had a great time, lodge was lovely, starting to look a little bit dated but still lovely and clean, beds were comfortable, not much elbow room in the en suite shower, everything you need for a break away, staff were brilliant, very pleasant

Our third stay as a group at Thanet Well lodges. Weve stayed in a different lodge each time but all have been great for our stay: clean, relatively well equipped and spacious. We had a few hiccups around missing dining room furniture (only 4 chairs in a 6 person lodge), tripped fuses (pesky toaster) and a surprise drained hot tub (oops) but nothing was too much hassle for the team who were happy to help and get everything sorted for us. The photos on the website dont quite translate to the lodge you stay in - so manage your own expectation when you walk through the door. Its never been an issue because the lodge has been suited for us but there are certainly differences. We love this site, we love the view, the location is ideal and we will absolutely be back again. Weve recommended to friends and will continue to do so - thank you!

We have stayed at Thanet Well previously with no issues however this time not so great - we were given Lodge 27 - Great location and amazing views. Issues with Lodge were endless - Boiler everyday tripped out on pressure (luckily i know how to top up), Beds very uncomfortable the single ones feel like you are sleeping on cardboard. General wear and tear of the lodge it needs some serious TLC. NO Wifi it states Wifi is limited but this lodge had NONE. Window in main bedroom cannot open as broken so stuff with Paper Towels (if windy) very noisy and cold. Black mould in the shower in the main bathroom (poor cleaning as i managed to remove with a good harsh wipe down) other bathroom not quite as bad but could do with some improvements to make shower better etc. Outside the hot tub was good however the decking needed a good clean which i feel would then make it less slippy! I do love this site it such a great spot and quiet but this visit really did disappoint and I didn't book at the last minute

We recently stayed at Thanet Lodge Well Retreat and honestly, it was a lovely escape. The views are breathtaking, with fields and mountains all around, making it super peaceful and scenic. The lodges are spotless, modern and well-equipped - everything we needed was there, from comfy beds to warm showers. Heating was straightforward to control, which is a plus. They even provide dishwasher tablets, sponges and dish soap, so no fuss there, though we did bring some antibacterial wipes just in case. The hot tub was a highlight - always clean, checked daily and perfect temperature, with stunning vistas to enjoy. Location-wise, its good, with some nice pubs nearby like Odd Fellows Arms. All in all, a really pleasant few days away in a lovely place.

The cabin was pretty well kitted out and spotless, though a bit dated. Still, we loved it! The hot tub was absolutely fantastic! Definitely recommend it.

We had a great 4-night stay, honestly felt just like being at home. There were a couple of maintenance hiccups, but when I called reception, the plumber arrived almost immediately, which was handy. Apart from that, we all really enjoyed ourselves. Definitely planning to book again soon and already recommending it to family and friends!

The cabin was really lovely and the views took our breath away. Cabin 3 was super tidy and felt more like a cosy little bungalow. Definitely recommend it!

Please find attachedWe stayed in Thanet Well Lodge Retreat over this weekend for a nice weekend get away with friends. The staff were helpful when it came to planning activities/ things to do in the area. However there were a few things which did take us all by surprise whilst we stayed.When we first entered the lodge the heating was set on 12c which for 8pm on a wet rainy night isnt the most welcoming of temperature. We noticed the heating was on timer settings which really didnt help the situation. The lodge took a long time to heat up then as soon as it became almost a pleasant temperature the timer would turn off. The whole of our stay me and my friends slept with another duvet ontop of the bed to help remain warm. Its a good job we had all brought thermals because we didnt take them off the whole time The facilitys in the lodge all worked perfectly the only fault I will mention which became quite annoying throughout the stay was the draw handles/knobs kept coming off the draws. Not to mention the paint work continued to peel off the cupboards which made the place look a bit tacky.The final bother we were dealt with was the fact there was no real house keeping popping in to make the beds or change the towels. Or even top up the toilet paper! We were 5 lady lodgers who shared only 2 rolls of toilet paper, when we asked we were told we have to pay for toilet roll to get topped up. The overall experience was great but our actual stay / accommodation wasnt up to the standards of which I experienced when I stayed with yourselves 2 years ago.

We stayed with a group of six ladies and really enjoyed our time. The place was super clean and tidy and the rooms were quite spacious. The kitchen had everything we needed and the towels and bedding were fresh. Only small gripe was the radiator dust, which could do with a quick clean. When it snowed, it looked stunning, but the high winds blew the hot tub cover off. We reported it but it wasnt fixed, so we only used it on the first night.

The lodge was fantastic, really spacious for our hyper cocker spaniel puppy to zoom around. The decking was secure and the hot tub was perfectly positioned, so it didnt spoil the view. Very clean and well-stocked with towels too.

I feel the lodge facilities are average and the kitchen was cheap, the main bedroom window had a gap at the top which the wind whistled all night. The fridge door had dropped and you had to make sure it was closed correctly or it bleeped.

The furniture was decent, though we had six people but only five seats, which was a bit of a pain. Overall, the lodge was nicely presented and beds were comfy.

You do have to drive everywhere as nothing is within walking distance but that wasn’t a problem.
The staff we very friendly and kind, they would go the extra mile for there guess
I would definitely recommend this site for a peaceful getaway

We went for a short break and to just chill out and unwind so Thanet well lodge retreat was the perfect place.i also love how there is very little entertainment wise on the site. It was exactly what we were looking for.
