Booked Merewood Lodge to attend a family wedding at the Merewood Country Park Hotel . The accommodation was perfect for our family group . It was lovely and clean . The hosts had thought about everything . Clear Information book , including how to operate equipment within the Lodge and things to do nearby . We particularly appreciated the little extras like family games, dvd’s etc although we didn’t get time to play them . The accommodation is very well equipped and in a beautiful setting .

    Location - close enough to both the hub of the village for shops, bars and restaurants and the many walks on your doorstep. An easy walk to the lake is 15/20mins depending on pace. Room - the room I had was large, clean and tastefully decorated with a huge bed. Hosts - Mandy & Adie are incredibly welcoming and are great for local info or guidance on your plans. The cooked breakfast is awesome and sets you up for the day!

    The location is excellent right in the centre of the village. Easy to walk to all the shops, pubs and restaurants. Adie and Mandy were the most welcoming hosts, so friendly and attentive and knowledgeable about the local area. There is no parking at the property, but Adie gave us a permit so that we could park nearby. The room was spotless, and the breakfasts were fabulous. It was our first stay at Brantfell House, and we'll definitely be back.

    We just enjoyed a wonderful stay in Ambleside at the superb Swiss Villas. It was just like a home from home. Very clean, comfortable and extremely well equipped for everything we needed to spend the week exploring the area. Key collection and parking was easy (just use the disc in the house). Info folder in the house was very useful. We did a lot of cooking so very pleased that the kitchen was so well stocked with the basics, unlike previous holiday homes we have been too. All in all a fantastic stay. Would absolutely recommend this property.

    The setting is stunning. The grounds are amazing . If you are looking for a luxury break in the lakes this is the place . Set in its own estate with mini lakes and streams and it’s own waterwheel. Like a mini Swiss village . The staff were very friendly and helpful and the room was excellent. A very relaxing and comfortable nights sleep on a soft luxurious bed . A definite place to visit again .
