Views from the Lodge were gorgeous. We managed 6 Wainwright's even though the weather was quite poor. The walking from the door is amazing and the Post Office cafe well worth a visit.

Highly recommended.

This our 3rd visit this year and will definitely rebook in the future. The owners have really made the lodge a home from home. Very cosy and comfy. Lovely bathroom with a bath which was great after a days fell walking. The lodge has everything you need and in such a peaceful, great location. Some lovely walks from the door. Look forward to returning at some point.
