Guests say
Walkers Rest is a well-received lodge, praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and thoughtful touches like a welcome basket. The spacious accommodation is furnished to a high standard, catering to both adults and pets. While its proximity to the M6 is noted, many guests found it unobtrusive and appreciated the location as a base for exploring. On-site facilities and local dining options enhance the stay.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently describe the lodge as clean and well-kept, with several reviews highlighting its spotlessness. The attention to cleanliness is evident throughout the property, contributing to a comfortable and inviting stay.
The location is generally seen as convenient for exploring the area, with easy access from the M6. However, some guests mentioned the motorway's noise as a downside. The proximity to local amenities and attractions balances the location's appeal.
Reviewers frequently commend the lodge for its comfort, mentioning comfortable beds, spacious rooms, and a cosy atmosphere. The property seems to cater well to relaxation and a sense of home away from home.
The lodge is praised for being well-equipped and offering a range of facilities, including on-site dining and leisure options. Some minor maintenance issues are noted, such as a slippery deck and a leaking tap, but these are not widespread concerns.
The thoughtful gestures, such as the welcome basket with essentials and treats, are well-received by guests. While these gifts add to the experience, it's important to note that such personal touches, although appreciated, may vary and are not guaranteed with every stay.

The briefest of car journeys north will take you into the heart of the Arnside & Silverside Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, home to the magnificent Gait Barrows National and Warton Crag Nature Reserves, the Fairy Steps hiking area, and the historic spot of Arnside Tower. Whatever time of year, you'll be sure to have an unforgettable stay in Lancashire when booking Walkers Rest.

Comfortable beds,dishwasher,2 bathrooms, each bedroom has a TV. The decking outside let the property down dangerous slippy and in need of some repair furniture is old and rusty. Dog poo at the steps in bags from previous letting. Maybe the cleaner could run the pans and cooking dishes in the dishwasher. The outside decking unfortunately would stop us from staying again

I went with my mum who was 87. All the facilities supplied were ample for my mum. The lodge was Spotless.. We ate in the restaurant 4 nights. The food was lovely,and staff were very excellent... Nice walks around the site. A short drive to Morecombe where we had our photos took with Eric Morecombe. Lovely day out. I would love to book again in the near future.. Thank you for a fabulous stay..
