    Second stay in Blencathra 8 and won't hesitate returning.

    Perfect for exploring The Lakes it is ideally situated being only a brisk 10 minutes walk to the heart of Keswick town centre. The lodge was kitted out with anything you could need. The grounds were beautifully kept. Definitely a place to visit again.

    The bathrooms are clean and in very good order. We needed to use the fan heaters in the bathrooms but we did stay on a cold and snowy week. Our heating cost £50 for the week but we did accidentally leave the living room heater on one night. The living room area is warm and retains the heat well. We had lovely views of the river and towards Low Rigg. There is great walking on the doorstep. We used our car once in the whole week. We would happily return.
