The lodge is spacious and has everything you need. We would definitely stay here again. Only comment would be to provide bins in the bathrooms.

This ticked all the boxes for us as we also have a 3 yer old. My in-laws got on site early and were staying In a different lodge but went round to ours to put up banners and balloons on the outside as a surprise. This was done before we got up there and was kindly left by the cleaners which we really appreciate. When we walked in the lodge it was absolutely stunning,everything was spotless and smelt really clean. The added touch of the towels and cleaning products were great. The balance between kid and adult friendly was perfect it felt really homely and loved everything that was in there. All of us were amazed by the views, its so relaxing and great for the little one. When we were leaving rhe cleaners came up and were so friendly and kind and wanted to check that we had no issues during our stay which we didnt. We spent a week at this lodge and really enjoyed spending our time there, absoutley gutted to have to go home. We come up to fallbarrow a few times a year and if possible would love to keep coming back to this lodge. It will certainly not disappoint anyone that books it.
