Cunsey Lodge Reviews

Second time we have stayed at this property. Great family house, especially with each bedroom having its own ensuite.

Alison

A spotlessly clean house , with excellent facilities ideal for a family gathering of 8 , views and walks from the door and use of a pool a short car ride or an hours walk away . The kitchen was very spacious and had everything with the exception of a potato peeler ! Maybe an air fryer would be an addition to such a high end property ? The hot tub was easy to fill and heat with the logs provided too . A superb property highly recommended

Cunsey Lodge is a lovely place to stay, is more spacious than the pictures show and in a picturesque location. The only comment I could make is the kitchen could do with a few more things, a frying pan, some smaller bowls for cookingserving and toilet roll holders in the bathrooms. Perhaps more details on finding the swimming pool! We would most definitely visit again and highly recommend it to friends and families who want to holiday together but have private roomsbathrooms. Thank you Braithwaite Estate

Was a fantastic experience for the whole family, in s stunning grounds. Will definitely return in the future

Cunsey lodge was a spacious accommodation in a great position on the edge of Lake Windermere. Louise the letting manager was kind enough to allow us early access which was extremely welcome. The only negative was the kitchen equipment needs looking at, not enough potspans, both corkscrews were of no use broken. I wouldnt hesitate to book again if these small but important tweaks were carried out.

Trushant

Sykes cottages are very professional, reasonably priced and easy to deal with. We enjoyed our stay at Cunsey Lodge Ambleside. Many thanks Sykes Cottages for helping us make some great memories.

Graham

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.

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.

South Lakes Safari Zoo - LA12 0LU

about 14 Miles

This is an amazing Cumbria attraction well known locally as well as nationally for how close you can get to the animals. Described as the most interactive animal park in Europe it's well worth a visit if you are staying in the area. Open from April to end October some of the highlights are the tigers, penguins, bears, hippos and rhinos. At 2pm during certain seasons it's feeding time so don't forget to plan your day around this so you can watch the animals enjoying their feed. Look out for seasonal events such as Halloween Zoo Boo (free entry for kids in fancy dress) and The Magic of Christmas.

Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD

We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look". Some of the amazing animals you will get to see include the only Canadian Lynx in the UK and you will have the opportunity to help their Lynx Conservation Project. The Asian Fishing Cat is also well worth a look - these cats are known for diving under the water and catching fish! Other activities include fantastic flying displays and play areas for the little ones...
