Guests say
Ransome Lodge is a well-equipped, comfortable cottage in a beautiful and quiet location, ideal for exploring the Coniston and Windermere areas. Guests have enjoyed the privacy, wildlife, and views, though some noted issues with cleanliness and maintenance.
Mixed feedback on cleanliness, with some guests finding the lodge not clean enough, while others reported it as very clean and comfortable.
The lodge is praised for its quiet, beautiful location and proximity to local attractions, though access may be challenging without a 4WD.
Guests found the lodge comfortable, with comfy beds and a private setting, but some issues with door locks were mentioned.
The lodge is well-equipped, but guests have advised the owners of faults that need fixing, including door locks and the absence of hand towels.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the owners, so this category cannot be scored.

Accommodation was not clean, cobwebs, dust and smells. Very disappointed. The cleanliness lets this accomodation down. Don't know if it's up for sale that the owners don't care.

Overall, this is a comfortable, well-equipped lodge in a good location to visit the Coniston and Windermere area of the Lake District. I have advised the owners of a few faults that need to be fixed, but there are some that can't. In fairness, the owners have taken action on most of the fixable issues raised by previous guests in the comments book.

The lodge itself was OK, the locks on both doors were difficult to operate and their were no hand towels. The main problem was access. We were aware of the steep gravel slope but the access to the top of the park needed a 4WD. The track had worn away on the left hand side and all the gravel had worn away.
