Wonderful place to stay. Place was comfortable and well stocked with what you need. Ideal both as a base for exploring the Lake District or as a place to relax and hang out for a few days. Very peaceful setting. Best place we stayed at on our travels in England.

Beautiful lodge in a stunning location!

The lodge was absolutely perfect for our long weekend. It was super spacious, 2 bathrooms was great and the fact that we had the lake not even a 1 min walk away was lovely. Would definitely stay here again and perfect distance to some amazing nearby hikes (our favourite of the weekend was Haystacks)!

Lovely Lodge

Very comfortable set up & spacious. Tv with access to Netflix & other apps (buffered a lot though, but thats to be expected). No need for heating, it warmed up when the sun came out. Very comfy beds. Handy having 2 toilets/showers, great balcony,fantastic views. Everything you need for a short break. It's in a nice quiet area on the park. 10/15 minutes to Keswick and other surrounding areas such as Lingholm Estate and Cockermouth. Jan responded quickly to any messages when we first booked and when we were on our way with details of how to get Keys and parking. Would recommend. Thanjs for letting us stay in you lovely lodge.

Love the Lakes

A lovely 3 night stay on Bassenthwaite Lake. Lodge was well appointed and as described in the listing. Location is remote but only 10min drive to Keswick and exactly what we wanted. Recommend The Sun Inn in Bassenthwaite for dinner and even managed a quick paddle board on (thankfully not in) an empty Lake, which was bliss. Will definitely consider staying here again.

Bassenthwaite Rydal Lodge

The whole process of booking, payment, communications, and the location was simple and straightforward. The lodge was exceptionally clean and was in a great position. We stayed for 5 nights and toured around the lake district and found the location to be ideal for easy access to Keswick and beyond. Would definitely recommend to others.

Great stay

We loved our stay at the lodge. It was very well equipped and the location is beautiful. The hosts were super helpful with their communications. The lodge itself is a little tired looking but this didn't bother us. It was clean & tidy though. The location is very calm & peaceful but no amenities within easy walking distance. Again, this didn't bother us as we enjoyed the peace & quiet.
