Guests have enjoyed the hot tub and the property's cleanliness, though some have noted issues with facilities maintenance. The location is consistently lauded for its beauty and convenience.

The lodge is generally described as clean and well-maintained, with only a few isolated comments about spiders and the need for tidying outdoor areas upon arrival.

The location is highly praised for its fantastic views and proximity to the lake, making it a desirable choice for visitors seeking scenic beauty.

The lodge is considered comfortable, with cosy beds and a homely feel. However, some guests mentioned a lack of shelving and storage space, impacting the overall comfort.

While the hot tub is a highlight, there are reports of maintenance issues. The lack of reliable WiFi and some minor appliance problems have been noted, suggesting room for improvement.

About this property

Nestled beside Lake Windermere in the desirable Lake District National Park, is this superb lodge, Lakeside 7. Situated on the outskirts of the small village of Troutbeck Bridge, within easy reach of amenities, this stylish holiday home is idyllic for a family of six. Be greeted by a private parking space, making unloading an easy task, and admire the splendour of nature before you. Climb up a handful of steps to reach the decking, shaded by tall trees for privacy and you will find furniture to sit and watch the lake glisten. Step inside into the open-plan living space, flooded in natural light from the wide windows and French doors, here you can curl up with a good book on the sofa or flicker through the Smart TV. The large kitchen area hosts an island with a breakfast bar, where you can keep the designated chef company as they whip up a treat on the gas hob. The holiday home also offers a dishwasher and washer/ dryer for a fuss-free clean-up! When dinner is served, settle down at the dining table with seating for six or enjoy an alfresco affair on the decking area, where the glass panels offer spectacular views over Lake Windermere. As the sky grows dark, retreat inside, and melt your stresses away in family bathroom, pour in the bubbles for a soak or rinse off in the overhead shower. When sleep calls, rest you head in either the king-size bedroom with a handy en-suite shower room or two delightful twin bedrooms. In the morning, savour the views with a cup of coffee as you ponder the adventures of the day ahead.

    It was well equipped but would benefit from new sofa coverings. Rooms really worked for us and hot tub was really appreciated. The lodge was well equipped and hot tub serviced regularly during the stay. Wi-Fi wasn’t great but view and access to the lake made this five star!

  • Susan

    Other than that the chalet was perfect, beautiful location, clean and well equipped

  • Lindsay

    Tastefully kitted out and extremely comfortable. Perfect spot overlooking lake Windermere. The owner was super helpful. However, We were very disappointed with Sykes as we were having trouble with the hot tub and were unable to use it to full potential. Contacted Sykes on numerous occasions with little or no help whatsoever.. managed to get hold of the owner who guided me through. I feel Sykes not only let us down but also the owner as well.
