  We absolutely loved our stay here last week and are sad to be back home again.

  Everything we could possibly need was thought of - and even extra helpful things for our rescue greyhound too. The huge windows in the main living area made wildlife spotting so enjoyable. I was able to do lots of wildlife photography just through the windows as there was so much to see! So many birds but also red squirrels and even rabbits, which I wasn’t expecting to see in winter. The garden area was great for our greyhound. At first, we took him out on his lead just to be extra careful, but by the end of the week, we were confidently letting him off lead and he was so happy running around. In terms of inside the lodge, the beds were so comfortable and I found it easy to get to sleep. The lodge was decorated wonderfully with nice animal themed artwork. The log burner was also a nice touch and helped warm the living area up quickly, and also made it extra cosy. It really was just so homely and comfortable! Additionally, the area is so remote and peaceful, and with it being in the middle of nowhere, on a clear night you can see hundreds and thousands of stars! And it’s not far away from some nice locations to visit either, so we had a good balance between visiting busier locations and coming back to a quiet peaceful lodge. We’d absolutely love to come back and will hopefully book again in the near future!

  We had such a brilliant stay at Little Winder, the cottage was perfect for us and our little dog.

  We enjoyed walks from the door step, (Including Athur’s Pike and Bonscale Pike) watched the red squirrels playing in the trees from the window and slept peacefully after days of hiking. The location and views from the cottages was superb. The cottage itself has a good sized entrance hall to take off your walking gear and a shared drying room next door to hang anything wet out on the heaters. The Amazon TV was great and we just logged into our Netflix in the evening or watched the free view channels from the comfy sofa. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook tea each night, there isn’t a freezer on its own just a small compartment in the fridge but we only needed ice so no issue for us. The bed was big and comfortable, the shower was compact but lovely and powerful and hot. There was a secure dog field to let the dog off the lead and have a good play. The hosts were brilliant, made sure we had everything we needed and left us a welcome gift which was such a nice touch. We would definitely stay again.

  A lovely lodge, in a quiet location.

  Our 2 spaniels loved the fully enclosed, large garden area. The lodge was really well equipped with a good size TV, comfy sofa and beds, large table and plenty of seating outside, with loads of extras (like books, games and kitchen utensils) that made it feel like being at home. The log burner looked great, although with 30+ degree temperatures we didn't use it. Thanks so much for sharing your lodge, we'd love to come back to chill out and see the regular visitors to the garden, including red squirrels. Just a couple of tips, loadsa places we've stayed at leave a small welcome pack and there was a few things which was great, but a pint of milk would have been a nice touch as the nearest shop was a reasonable drive; plus a bit more info in the welcome book re places to visit, eat and walk the dogs and BBQ would be great additions too, to what is a great lodge. Thanks again, we had a great week

  We had a lovely stay here and it surprised us how big the accommodation actually was - the pictures on the web do not do it justice.

  The garden was an added bonus - unfortunately though we didn’t have any nice weather to enjoy it. However, we loved sitting at the big dining table for our meals and watching the abundance of wildlife every morning and night - including red squirrels, rabbits, grouse and pheasants. The lodge was well equipped. However, we were unable to find an extractor fan for the bathroom and it took a little getting used to that there was only enough hot water for one person to have a bath a night. However, once we realised this it didn’t detract from our enjoyment of staying there. We would recommend a stay here and as much as we enjoyed it, it was just a little too far from Keswick and all the walks for us. But, if you are looking to just have a break away from all the crowds and hustle and bustle it is definitely the place to go.

  We had a wonderful week staying at Winder Ghyll in May.

  The location of the cottage is ideal for exploring the Lakes, and it was great to be so close to Ullswater and Pooley Bridge. The Winder Cottages site itself is beautiful with unbeatable views of the surrounding countryside. It is wonderful for wildlife lovers too! From the comfort of the cottage, we saw red squirrels feeding and playing around the tree mere metres away, flashes of a stoat scurrying past the window, and a wonderful array of birds. We also spent enjoyable evenings sitting out in the garden area, watching and listening to tawny owls in the wooded area til long after sunset. The cottage has pretty much everything you need, and the welcome biscuits were a lovely surprise! We would definitely recommend this place to others and would love to return ourselves!
