    The hotel, staff and food exceeded our expectations.

    The hotel, staff and food exceeded our expectations. Real ale was well kept and a bonus. The highlight of the afternoons were the RAF jets flying up the valley at tree top hight. People would wait for their arrival.

    The scenery is stunning!

    The scenery is stunning! Shame about the closeness of the road to our bedroom window! A cooked breakfast would be an improvement! The room was tiny! I did have another 3 days booked for the end of September but cancelled after our stay! Find somewhere different to eat other than The Kings Head which isn’t as good as they make out!

    Gateway to both the Northern and Southern lakes.

    Gateway to both the Northern and Southern lakes. A lot of good restaurants in the general area, but book early if in a large group . Hoards of people so visit important places early e.g. Castlerigg stone circle is MUCH better if you're the only group there. You can feel its 4500 years age. Book steam ferries before you go otherwise availability might be low. Ask prices at tea rooms before buying. We paid £33 for seven teas/coffees.

    Thirlmere is out in the country, not in the rush of the general tourist population. It is easy to reach Keswick and Ambleside and delightful to come back to the peace. The King's Head just down the road produces good food. The countryside is majestic and inviting.

    Nestled in the foothills of Helvelyn, by Thirlmere Lake and near Keswick, this little gem has everything you need, including good Wi-Fi. Nothing is too much trouble for Jean who has much knowledge of sheep farming, dry stone walling, and meadows. Her family have been farming in the area for generations. The room is peaceful and quiet and backs onto a waterfall and hills full of healthy looking herdwicks. Lovely breakfast experience too. Would highly recommend. :)

    The staff were very helpful and courteous at all times. The lodge was very clean and the rooms were comfortable and well presented. The continental breakfast was lovely and set us up for the day ahead. We had a meal at the Kings Head just down the road and this was efficiently booked for us by the hotel staff and we would definitely eat there again.We would recommend the Lodge as a place to stay to visit all the area has to offer.

    The location is in the middle of two towns, so literally on the highway. But it has great views. Both towns Keswick and Ambelside are a 20 mins drive. So it's important to have a car if you plan to stay here. Food is good, though the menu is limited. The outside seating has great views. There are treks nearby the hotel, though I couldn't do any, but the trail started just behind the hotel.

    it was very nice and quiet, the bunks were Cozy, the manager of the property was very kind and put on the fire for me before she left. The barn is also easily accessible via bus, which makes the lakes and scenic hiking routes easily accessible as well.

    What a delightful place to stay! A working farm with lambing about to start, Helvellyn above for a great day's walk, Thirlmere below and well worth exploring. A breath of fresh air.
