The small hamlet of Little Langdale quietly sits in a scenic valley and consists of a scattering of houses and a local pub. The area is separated by the Lingmoor Fell from Great Langdale and is accessed via a twisting road which runs alongside the Brathay River, eventually passing by Little Langdale Tarn and heading to the Wrynose pass, following the path of an ancient Roman road. The landscape is magnificent with many regarding the area as the most beautiful in the British Isles, if not indeed the whole of Europe, inspiring many great poets over the years including William Wordsworth, known for his love of the area. With Ambleside and the whole of the National Park within easy reach, this magical location is not to be missed!

Having all en suite was a real bonus. The sofas are very low and quite uncomfortable for watching the tv which is so high up. For the cost I think not including wood for the fire feels a bit tight. A key lock box would be better given itâs a house for 6 if you want to go out separately. Plus collecting from the pub is tricky on a Saturday when elterwater is packed! There are some issues with the lighting. The free standing one in the left hand corner is flickering as are the main lights in the lounge when off. In my room (the smallest one) the night light was continually flickering up and down so I think the electrics need looking at. None of this is criticism. Just feedback otherwise you will never know!

) and I also got food poisoning (lunch at the Britania Inn seems to have been the culprit), so it wasn't exactly the most enjoyable week spent at the Lodge. Listing references "2.5 acres of land to roam in", not sure where that 2.5 acres is as the fenced off garden at the lodge is nothing like that big. There was a paddock type field next to the lodge, but I didn't see any info in the lodge to hint that it was land that we could use. Listing also references the lodge to be "A true Lake District hideaway". I suspect that was written before the absolutely huge house was built right next to the Lodge, which overlooks the whole of the house. We agree with the other published feedback re. sofas in the lounge. They're really not very comfortable and definntely not when your watching the TV which is set high on the wall [unfortunately due to weather and illness I did a lot of TV watching :( ]. Lighting in the lounge was a bit binary as well, very bright with the main ceiling lights on, and only two standard lamps as the alternative. Dimmer on the main lights would have been nice. General quality of the Lodge was very good, but there were a couple of things that need some attention ... one of the curtain rail brackets in the living room was close to pulling away from the wall, and similarly, one of the raidator brackets in the shared upstairs bathroom was coming away from the wall. The back door also stuck, probably due to the very wet weather, it needed quite a nudge to get it open.

Beds were comfortable and linen and towels were good. The only disappointments were inaccuracies in the listings ie It said all power and fuel included but there were no logs or kindling for the log burner ( we had 12 inches of snow ,so no chance of buying any!) Also Netflix was said to be included but it wasnât ( own subscription only) A few extras, like liquid hand soap and a welcome basket would have been nice. The house felt very much like a holiday home, a bit stark. All in all a good comfortable stay but with a few extras could have been great.
