Lovely lakeside lodge

A fantastic week in the ideal place- well-equipped, homely and in a superb position. The sun shone daily and we enjoyed using the lodge as the perfect base for walks and water activities. Thank you!

Excellent location and lodge. Very peaceful and quiet. Keswick only 15 minutes away. Lake was excellent but don’t forget to bring your equipment etc as you cannot hire any canoes, boat on site. One minor bad comment was the outside furniture had bird poo on it and could have been avoided if they had been covered. Will definitely be booking at again and recommend to anyone wanting a quiet holiday with family and friends.

A lovely long weekend with kids

Great location, well stocked kitchen. Nearby kid friendly activities like the Lake District Wildlife Park. We would definitely come back for longer. The walls are a bit thin but (I have never stayed in a lodge before so this is likely very normal). It didn't bother the kids at all at night and they slept like logs.

Idyllic

Beautiful location over looking the lake, cosy and comfy on autumn days. Plenty of dog walks from the property or within a short drive. Scenic walks to local pubs. Would definitely recommend and visit again

This lodge is impeccable and is in the perfect location. We explored the mountains and lakes and enjoyed watching the birds and playing football on the green. I would thoroughly recommend this lodge.

Great stay over xmas

We loved the lodge. It felt very homely. The park is right at the lake shore. The kitchen was equipped very well. Beds were comfortable and shower powerful. A bonus was the TV with netflix and other apps and good internet connection. We would be back when the weather is warmer.

Relaxing break

Lovely lodge, very clean & in a fabulous position with views of the Lake. The Lodge had everything you need, with comfortable beds & furniture, a very well stocked kitchen, a beautiful decking area with a variety of bird life visiting the feeders. It was a perfect stay for myself & my dog. Would highly recommend 👌

Beautiful lake views

Our stay was wonderful! The lodge was comfortable and well equipped. It had a clear view of the lake and surrounding mountains. It was truly beautiful and we loved it! We swam and paddle boarded in the lake, as well as walked up Catsbells. Keswick is close by with plenty of cafes, restaurants and quirky shops. Wonderful stay.

What a brilliant stay

I can't fault this lodge at all, the views, the lodge itself had everything we wanted. It was spotless on arrival and had more than the average lodge to offer. A true gem of a find!! I can't wait to go back. Ali and Chris went above and beyond answering any queries we had for a perfect stay.

Comfortable lodge

The lodge is well appointed and clean. It has a whirlpool bath which is fun, but only one shower as a consequence. It has a nice, but restricted view of the lake and surrounding hills. Very comfortable beds

Relaxing break

Property was just as described, very clean and well laid out with some nice local touches and books/maps to help you plan your day. We loved the deck overlooking the lake and swam every day. Bassenthwaite is a lovely area, not too busy but within easy reach of everything. We had fabulous weather whilst there but can imagine the lodge being equally lovely at other times of the year.

Perfect stay directly at the lake

We have had three pretty days at the Bassenthwaite Lake Side Lodge. Everything was successfully. We loved to sit outside on the terracce. It is such a quite, peacefull place. Two times we walked to the Pub "Sun in" in Bassenthwaite it is a halfe hour walk away.

Wonderful Weekend

This property is incredibly well equipped and lovely and clean. The location is absolutely stunning and so very close to the most beautiful lake in the whole of the Lake District. We parked up the car on the Friday and it didn’t move until we left on Monday. We walked, kayaked and paddle boarded … absolute bliss. We’re already booked for next year 😊

Amazing views

The property has amazing views, we had a power cut the first night we were there tried both contacts couldn't get through, I did get a call back, i was told as it was a power cut there was nothing they could do. Which is understandable but i would of expected maybe a bit of compassion as it wasn't my fault either. The bedrooms could do with a bit of updating, windows were very dirty and the shower dripped all the time
