The Watches is a great Lodge, very clean and well presented.

The Watches is a great Lodge, very clean and well presented. We enjoyed the views. Slightly out of the way as it’s about 7 miles to Keswick but not bad. The location is very quiet and peaceful. We really enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to return sometime.
