Post Knot Lodge was an amazing property and far exceeded the already fantastic photos. We had a wonderful time and Catherine (the owner) was more than helpful with any questions and requests we had. Also, sending us some flowers for my wife birthday was a very nice and thoughtful touch.

Post Knott is amazing, with the best views of Windermere. Everything about the house is exceptional except perhaps the fact that two of the bedrooms were not en-suite. This restricts who we could take on a return visit. This time it was fine as it was all family. Other than that the house and facilities are perfect.

Lots of space for all - with personal touches throughout, snuggly blankets, and extras in the kitchen and cinema room which were not expected but just showed that each person who arrives is going to feel very welcome.
