North Lodge Reviews

Victoria
Wonderful stay and property in a great location. The hot tub was a bonus. The property would benefit from a few additional amenities I.e washing machine, some cleaning products. Due to the location and time of year , we found the outside area a little slippy and it would benefit from being cleaned down to prevent accidents. A few little maintainable issues, flashing light in bathroom, hoover blocked and no batteries in the remote but nothing to alter our enjoyment. I would definitely recommend the property for a relaxing break away.
An amazing holiday home it's like staying in your own little castle my children absolutely loved it. Nice and clean and everything you need to make your stay enjoyable Would defo recommend and will be booking again Only downside was the hot tub could of been cleaner
We arrived when it was already dark so we parked directly outside the house as the carpark was pitch black with no lights, the owner of the castle asked us to move the car which I fully understood we was on the grass, Been a lady on my own with a small baby I said I will once I've unpacked the car, whilst the house was well equipped there was hairs on two of the beds. And it was infested with black lady birds which my children was petrified of, they were in every room but a lot more in the living room. And we also had to fill the hot tubs as it was only a quarter way full so couldn't use it the first night as it was then cold. I would also like to say I read the guest book and the page about the manager coming to the house was there must have been ripped out. There was cobwebs every where and hairs in the bath and sink. Skirting boards wasn't spotless either, I put my suitcase on the top of wardrobe and when I took it down the yesterday morning to pack it it was filthy. Also found a vape under the bed and I don't smoke just glad my children didn't find it ! We did spill something and had to wipe it up with a towel then found the mop near the boiler, wanted to wash them before we left but strangely enough for such a big house no washing machine. It was beautiful place in a nice area but if I'm paying a premium to stay somewhere I expect it to be spotless beds should be moved and cleaned under regularly I have taken pictures if I can add them I will
Philip
A beautiful building located in a historical area and village, with wonderful walks located right on the doorstop. The accommodation was well maintained, clean, with clear instructions provided for all of the appliances. A wonderful relaxing break.
Overall, the property is beautiful and ideally located. We've only given it 3 stars because of 2 key issues 1 There is a warning message in the welcome book about the potential for a disgruntled neighbour estate manager to pound on the doors and windows late at night, and if he does to report him to the police again. This was extremely unsettling for us and meant that we would not let our daughter sleep downstairs as she had hoped to. While no incidents occurred, if it warrants being in the welcome pack then this should be included in the property description on your site 2 On arrival, the hot tub was at 22 degrees and not in heating mode. We were able to set it to heating as we have one of our own, but it meant that we could not use it until late on Friday night. When we did use it, the filter came loose when the jets were activated. Although we refitted it, it was clearly not secure as the next evening when we went to use the hot tub again, the water was cloudy with an orange 'scum' around the sides. We did contact the caretaker on Sunday morning, and he came around very promptly to add chemicals to the water, but even on Sunday evening, the water was still not very clear, and we felt itchy while using it. We paid a significant premium to rent a property with a hot tub, but we don't feel that we got the use of it as we should have done, because it wasn't working properly.
North lodge was beautiful. Very comfy. We only used hot tub once so felt bad burning all the electricity. Perhaps a note saying how to turn off if not using. Also the WiFi password was incorrect on welcome book. The correct one is on back of router. We will be returning.
Andrew
Lovely place and lovely lodge. Living room on 2nd floor is a bit of a pain. Lovely hot tub awaiting us lovely gardens and lovely views. There were quite a few cobwebs in the property and spiders it may have just been the time of year it was very warm. Overall an excellent place to stay at and I wouldn't hesitate staying there again.

Ullswater Steamers - CA11 0US
about 18 Miles
This is an award winning Lake District attraction and they have been operating cruisers on Lake Ullswater for over 150 years.  There is no better way to explore the lakes than on water and you could even combine a cruise with a spectacular walk.  For great days out in this region then this attraction is highly recommended and will appeal to couples as well as families.  Corporate groups are also well catered for.
Rydal Mount & Gardens - LA22 9LU
about 21 Miles
Rydal Mount & Gardens are wonderfully situated between Lake Windermere and Rydal Water offering breathtaking scenery. The home of William Wordsworth from 1813 - 1850 the grand home is now lived in by the poets descendents but parts of the house and grounds are open to the public. Why not take a guided tour and see the rooms where many of the famous poems were written. The gardens are beautiful at all times of the year but in the summer offer a spectacular display of colour. There is also a gallery and a tearoom. Discounts are available for group bookings.
Tullie House Museum & Art Gallery - CA3 8TP
about 28 Miles
This is a museum and art gallery in one and will suit those looking for an educational and cultural day out.  You can explore the fantastic art collection including Fine Art, Decorative Art and Textiles.  If you love nature then this aspect of Tullie House will appeal. The museum holds large and important collections of zoological, botanical and geological material. And for lovers of history there is plenty to wet your appetite here. Tullie House collects a wide range of historic materials including objects, ephemera (printed material), photographs and associated information files.  We think this museum and art gallery are excellent value for money as well.
Lakeland Wildlife Oasis - LA6 1JH
about 28 Miles
Located in the Milnthorpe area of Cumbria we love this local attraction.  With an eclectic mix of fascinating wildlife and hands on displays this centre is educational as well as fun.  You can wander around at leisure admiring the exhibits which range from chameleons to computers. Some of the most threatened species are kept at the park as part if international breeding programmes.  Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs which are great value for money.  There are discounts for pre-booked parties of 12 or more.
