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.

Lovely lodge, very clean and spacious. Hot tub views were nice, and plenty of nature walks and things to do within half an hour away. Would highly recommend and we will return

Staff were very friendly and helpful the location is perfect the only thing letting it down is the lodges are looking very tired and dirty could do with an upgrade

Lovely lodge. Had what we needed with plenty of space. The hot tub was boiling and remained warm the full time. Pillows were a little hard in the bedrooms.

Unfortunately was a damp smell inside the wet room and twin bedroom, no internet but that was a good thing as enjoyed time better, unfortunately shop shuts at 5 pm on the dot and wasn't open at all on the Sunday, is very remote but had amazing views, not much privacy as lodges very close together but overall a nice stay, would recommend site to others as good value for money, but would use as a base only as nothing on site

My second year here and will be back again next year. Site is amazing so quiet and the views are incredible. Had an issue with one neighbor this year but luckily they were only there for a couple days. The chalet is incredible and has everything you need. See you again next year

The place was lovely and secluded. Nothing but amazing views all round. The lodge we had was a little dated. It had a very strong smell when walking in which wasnt very pleasant, had all windows and doors open for a few hours when we arrived but didnt seem to help get rid of the smell. The place needed some updating the wall paper in places was brown and beginning to peel, the Lino in the dining room looked like it had some water damage. The light fittings were very dusty and needed a deep clean, cobwebs were everywhere. The curtains in the dining room needed washing there was water stains on the lining (? Contributing to the smell?) it is a lovely little campsite but this van/lodge in particular could just do with a thorough clean and a little updating.

Great lodge but the hot tub not working on all the jets, the electric fire needs the fire effect looking at, besides that a well presented and perfectly located. Thank you.

Was disappointing for a Premier Holiday LodgeWhen I questioned the word Premier, I was just told that that means it has a hot tub. Very misleading

The lodge was not very clean. Had to wipe down everything when we arrived as there was noticeable dirt that has been missed, as well as we had to clean cutlery and crockery before use. The floor had not seemed to have been cleaned, and their was no mob for use to clean the floor with. We had lukewarm water the full stay. The showers were in need of an update as one was not fit for purpose or adjustable. Definitely in need of an update and a deep deep clean. Staff lovely and friendly. The little shop in reception was very handy and well stocked with the essential and then more. If the cabins were updated we would definitely stay again.

Great lodge, modern and spacious with amazing wide-screen views of Blencathra. Shower was excellent, pressure really good. Hot tub was good, not too hot like some we have been to.Our only issues were that the floor needs a good steam clean as walking around barefoot and your soles turn black. We were only supplied with one dishwasher tablet which was disappointing.Also, WiFi was non existent but as our phones were working fine it was ok.Overall, fully recommend!

Although our stay was comfortable there was a lingering smell of dampness particularly in the main bedroom. Also a drain smell around sink and washer. Otherwise good and a hot water problem we had was instantly cared for. None of these particularly spoiled our stay.

The lodge is spacious, it is a shame that the blinds were broken and some dirty, the main bedroom window broken and unable to open. Facilities were fine. The entrance was full of webs that the cleaners did not clean, while in the country, the webs were old, full of dirt .

Moved from before arrival form lodge 15 to an owners lodge no 4 as hot tub broken for three weeks . Lodge 4 is stunning and in a great location and was very comfy but has maintenance issues and needs high level dusting in places .En-suite shower valve is faulty and dangerous can only have a safe shower turning water temp down on boiler .Drain for on en-suite sink loose and not screw connected so leaked on floor until pushed back in .Fridge defrost drain blocked and floods base of chiller cabinet .Shelves in fridge door broken and stuck with tape and too weak to hold items Steps need stonework repairing as loose and dangerous trip hazard.Ceiling lights in lounge and tall lampIn dining area need a good forms and dust as like feltIron washing had to for an to use and boiler cupboard needs a deep clean Smoke detector looks older then the 10Years they recommend and was weak so borrowed from reception may need replacing. Needs proper wifi , owner should provide a dongle or full broadband and not say go to reception its a luxury lodge and should have wifi.Reported all Issues to reception but no direct contact with owner so unsure how often they check it over Loved the lodge but missed out on being 10/10 or excellent due to above

This is the 6th time we have visited Thanet Well , it’s like our second home and we love it so much . The lodges are fantastic and the surrounds are just so peaceful and quiet , can’t wait to book the next visit .

It was lovely peaceful and quiet
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
Tracey
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.
