Overview
Property code: 79222

Situated among beautiful woodlands on a private estate, this welcoming lodge makes a lovely getaway for four guests. Perfect for couples seeking a secluded retreat or for families discovering the Langdale Valley, this pretty cabin is a great base for making the most of a stunning part of the Lake District. The lodge has been delightfully updated and is part of a small complex with access to shared facilities including a swimming pool, hot tub and sauna. A great base for walkers, hikers, climbers and nature lovers, this warm and relaxing log cabin is close to Windermere, Grasmere and Rydal Water.

A couple of steps lead onto the wraparound decked area and through the French doors into the refreshing open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. The peaceful lounge is an ideal space to settle back and watch a movie, while the central dining area is handily positioned so you can admire the woodland views as you share a meal which you can rustle up in the fully equipped kitchen. Exploring this warm and inviting cabin further, you will find an invigorating shower room and two cosy bedrooms, each with a Smart TV: there’s a spacious double room and a charming twin room overlooking the woodland area. Back outside, the decked terrace has plenty of outdoor furniture so you can enjoy a BBQ, sit back with a morning coffee or a glass of wine and take in the pretty woodland views.

The location of this cabin is perfect; surrounded by the most breathtaking scenery and countryside. Convenient walks to gorgeous beauty spots and it welcomes dogs. However this was a 3* property at a 5* price and not worth it. The bedding (and beds!) are in need of updating; the property lacked kitchen equipment and has a 1970s payphone!! Albeit thRead moree WiFi worked well. On arrival the cabin was very cold as its surrounded by big beautiful trees that shelter it from sunshine. Will not return sorry Hide

We have stayed at Neaum Crag several times and know and love this area of the lakes very well. But, Seathwaite Tarn was a disappointment. Not as nice as it looked on line. We paid 990 for a week, far too much!! We have paid less for much nicer places. Needs new pillows and bed linen. No coat hooks anywhere to hang wet coats after walks, and nowhereRead more to put wet boots. Maybe a boot tray? They cost about 15. A much longed for holiday spoilt by this, not up to the mark, accommodation. Hide

Lovely location just outside of Ambleside. For anyone who loves walks and in need of relaxation it really is a perfect spot. The bonus is it is dog friendly. With only a couple of minutes walk from the lodge, incredible views and plenty of opportunities to exercise your 4 legged member of the family.

Whilst the location was ideal for walks and visiting nearby locations, the actual park was quite dark with it being within the trees, can't imagine a lot of sunlight getting through and as a result the cabin felt quite dark.

Fabulous cabin, very spacious with lots of wardrobe, drawer and shelf space. Very well equipped though we found it hard to operate the oven and hob but seemed to figure it out in the end. Would stay again and recommend to friends and family. Fabulous location.

Cottage was clean and comfortable. Very warm Disappointed when learned that the pool wasnt open as had originally chosen this site for that, but overall it didnt detract from the stunning scenery and walks.

An absolutely beautiful location and a very quiet and peaceful estate. I loved sitting on the veranda watching birds and red squirrels. The cabin is extremely well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The beds are very comfortable and bedrooms a good size. The open plan living room is so relaxing.

The cottage is cosy, spacious and well equipped. It is situated in the beautiful Neaum Crag estate at Skelwith Bridge. Ambleside is approximately 3 miles away. For shops & restaurants. Wonderful views of hills and mountains from the balcony that runs along the front of the property. For even better views take the short walk to the top of the estateRead more to Loughrigg Tarn. We had a great week, only 1 wet day. Highly recommended and will return. Hide

A pleasant stay in a good location. The lodge is well located for walks from the door and easy access to the heart of the lakes. It is in a quiet location surrounded by other lodges. I would argue one of the more well positioned lodges on the park as it's not overlooked. It can be cold although there is an additional heater if required. The kitchenRead more has limited space and therefore limited crockery. All in all a lovely stay. Hide

Such a beautiful cabin, in a beautiful setting. We stayed in late November when the leaves on the trees were awash with all the colours of autumn. Shades of golden yellow & every hue between red and brown wherever you look. The cabin is comfortable, well equipped, modern & stylishly fitted out. All you need for a wonderful break is your food, drinkRead more & walking boots, but if walking isn't your thing, sit on your porch, drink wine & watch the squirrels and birds go about they're daily buisness.
