Visitor Reviews of Herdwick Croft

Kay
Date of stay: 6th May 2024
The caravan and site overall were very good and the caravan was very new and beautiful. The hot tub was also very nice and private. The caravan had been cleaned prior to our arrival but there were a lot of dead flies on the floor. When we arrived there was no electricity and we couldn’t put any heating on (as it was a chilly day) and we spent some time trying to find the fuse box. A member of the team did try to help but she couldn’t find it. The living area is amazing with lovely comfy settees and eating area and we enjoyed our time reading and watching tv after returning from our walks. Unfortunately on the first night there was a slightly strong smell of drains, but by the second night it was rather unbearable so we left early the next morning as couldn’t face another night of it. The drain smell could also be noticed when in the hot tub. On leaving the caravan we reported our complaint to a member of the team who acknowledged our issue and the fact that we were leaving early as a result, but no apology or other response, which was disappointing as we didn’t particularly want to leave as everything else was very nice, including the weather (for a change). We wouldn’t recommend the site due to the poor response of the staff but the actual site itself was lovely, quiet and well located to explore. There was also no basics, such as salt and other condiments and not enough toilet roll to last 2 days, never mind the 3 nights that we had booked for.

We so enjoyed our stay at Wast Water Lodge. The lodge is to a very high standard and the hot tub was a nice added bonus. Champagne in the hot tub on Christmas morning was idyllic. There was also a small Christmas tree added and the chocolates left were a lovely touch. Whilst we were there we visited the Lakes Distillery for a tour which was only 5/10 minutes walk away. We had drinks at the beautiful Armathwaite Hall, again about a 10 minute walk away. We had takeaway pizzas from the on site Bistro. These were soo good. Wish we could have stayed longer.

We just got back on Friday from a 4 night stay at Herwicke Croft. We stayed in the new pod Herdwicke Retreat. What an absolutely stunning pod / lodge in the most picturesque location. I’ve seen a couple of reviews saying you don’t have privacy in the hot tub & there isn’t any shower gel / shampoo in the bathroom…….. let me tell you this really isn’t a big issue at all. The hot tub is tucked away into the corner and is private if you sit on the far side. And regarding the other issue…. Take your own shampoo and shower gel, rather simple fix. Without a doubt the best little British break we have had! And wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

Lovely holiday home in beautiful surroundings! We stayed in Hawkshead lodge and hot tub had a great view of Skiddaw (only downside was rules said no bubbles after 10.30!). Unfortunately no TV in bedroom as advertised and a shame there wasn’t a little welcome pack on arrival. The on-site restaurant was lovely, although unfortunately opening times were limited during the week.

This is a lovely lodge however it is over looked by the cottage. The accommodation it's self is lovely but has NO privacy at all. There is no blinds or curtains on the kitchen / lounge area. NO privacy on hot tub area either very over looked by the holiday cottage. The pod has a complicated hob and microwave/oven but instructions leaflets we eventually found were in the draw. The pub has limited opening times and has a limited supply in the small shop area. We didn't find any walks nearby although the site is quite near lake bassenthwaite which was lovely. The lodge has an iron and toaster and a kettle and also a large fridge and a wine cooler. It also has a TV and a netflix app if you choose to use it.

Me, my wife and our cavapoo stayed here for 3 nights, can’t speak more highly of the place, excellent! Location is out of this world. It’s quiet and peaceful, but it is in a very good location for all the main walks and things to do close by. The lodge itself was amazing, made us feel like we didn’t want to go home. Only slight disappointment was that the cafe/bistro on site don’t allow dogs inside, but I believe they are a separate company to the actual site itself. Overall amazing stay 10/10

This park is wonderful and the staff are lovely. Our issue was with the lodge. We stayed in the Wastwater lodge which was brand new and is advertised as in a private location in the corner of the park. The lodge is more like a luxury caravan, it is immaculate and comfortable but it isn’t as nice as other lodges we have stayed in before. The bed for example feels like a pull down caravan bed and wasn’t very comfortable. Our issue was with privacy- the whole reason we booked this lodge was it said it was private - it wasn’t. You are surrounded from all sides by other lodges and the hot tub is raised on the decking so there is no privacy at all as you can see into all other lodges and they are close together. The location is good for the lakes but if your looking for privacy this is not the lodge for you

Buttermere is located at the top of the park and away from the tourers. The lodge had everything we needed including dishwasher, washer, iron and best of all hot tub! Wrap around decking is great and gets the sun all day. Lodge has 2 bathrooms also which was perfect when staying as a family.

Our party of 4 stayed in the gorgeous Minster Lodge, the lodge itself was absolutely stunning and immaculately clean and to say the views are breathtaking is an absolute understatement!

We were left in blissful peace by the site owners who ensured we had everything we needed for our stay before handing over the keys and promptly heading back at the end of our stay to further ensure everything was to our enjoyment - which it very much was!

Excellent and discreet private hot tub cleaning each morning (you'd never even know they were there) and we'll definitely be visiting Herdwick Croft again in the future.

Couldn't recommend enough.

All our thanks, Shannon & Party!

The lodge we stayed in was just beautiful, had everything we needed, and the added bonus of the hot tub made it special. We will certainly return and recommend to Friends& Family.

Lovely accommodation (everything as per pictures).

Great weekend away and loved that it was only a 2 minute drive from Bassenthwaite Lake. Lodge was beautiful, pet friendly and had amazing views! Cupcakes on arrival were a lovely touch also! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing get away!

Really nice only issue was lack of a dog gate on the decking everything else was great
Lindsay, Gb
The lodge was great, clean , smart, the decking area and hot tub were lovely. Loved that it was dog friendly.
Only downside was no towels provided.

The lodge was immaculate, small but perfectly formed with a good amount of storage. Decor is lovely and it was really clean. A king size width bed was welcome in the main bedroom, although if you are tall be warned as it's a bit shorter than a standard bed! My only slight gripe was that the hot tub was drained and refilled at around 7.30am on departure day, and because they use the hot feed off the lodge boiler this meant there wasn't enough water pressure for a shower before we left. Also, it's not in the details but it would have been useful to know in advance that there was a Tassimo coffee machine in the lodge as then we could have brought with us the right pods to use in that.

Beautiful caravan (Buttermere) and great location, very close to Lake which is walking distance. No shop onsite, and very little restaurant options for dinner in walking distance, still need the car. (Family of 4)
Emily
We loved our stay. Our dog loved it too and never normally settles when we’re away but she was right at home! The decked area was secure with a gate which made our lives so much easier! Clean, spacious, great location, lovely hot tub we will definitely be back!
Joanne
Excellent 3 night stay in the Buttermere lodge. Nice and quiet even though it was weekend. We didn't use the car at all as there's plenty to do within walking distance, and it was lovely to get in the hot tub in the evening. We'll definitely be back.

We loved our time at this lodge - spacious, decorated to a very high standard, quiet and not too far a drive to Keswick. The lodge was stunning and we received a very warm welcome from Laura and Dave Would definitely recommend.

Had amazing week (from 8th July 22) staying in "Buttermere Lodge". We had been searching for the perfect place to bring our dog. We have found a gem of a place. The holiday park is ideally located between Keswick and Cockermouth. And near the beautiful Bassenthwaite Lake. Our accommodation was modern, clean .... just perfect. It had everything you need for a self catering place. Supermarkets are in Cockermouth so we got stocked up. The on site guys, Laura and Dave were on hand if you needed them, and so friendly and helpful. We loved the hot tub!. We are going to book for next year. For anyone visiting, look after the accommodation and keep it nice for every visitor. Herdwick Croft is currently building a bistro at the front which will be an added bonus. There are lovely walks to go on around the site if you have a dog (or not). I would not hesitate to recommend Herdwick Croft lodges. Can't wait to come back! Obviously we weren't there to camp so cannot comment on the site or facilities (although the site where the caravans, tents were, looked nice). Some earlier reviews may say towels weren't provided. They were!. Although take your own for the hot tub. The lodge even had a washer/dryer, iron, small ironing board, clothes airer, hairdryer, and fully equipped kitchen. It was perfect!

Kelly
Gorgeous place nestled in between one of the lakes and a distillery. Great for walkers and other lakes within 20/30 min drive.
Reece
Really enjoyed our holiday at herwick croft, the lodge was immaculate and had great views over skiddaw. Hot tub was brilliant too. Staff were friendly.
Zoe
Lovely stay at herdwick Croft. Perfect location for visiting local attractions. Nearest shop is a 10 minute drive. The only recommendation I would have would be to supply more toilet rolls, bin bags and dishwasher tablets as only 1 supplied for a weeks stay. Also some small toiletries in the bathroom would be handy as no hand wash was supplied.
Nicholas
Great location and accommodation was very comfortable - no issues. We enjoyed the hot tub which was clean and well maintained. Would definitely return.
Victoria
It was wonderful - thank you for having us. See you next year!

Herdwick Croft is a lovely quiet site, with beautiful surroundings. It sits on the edge of Bassenthwaite Lake and it is just a short walk down to the water. There isn’t any restaurant/bar on site yet, however it is in the process of being built. There were recommendations of places to eat and drink within a short walk or drive so that wasn’t an issue for us. I can definitely recommend The Wheatsheaf Inn, the food was fantastic!
Susan
Lovely small park set with gorgeous views
Carl
Stayed at the buttermere lodge for 7 nights and will definitely be returning to herdwick Croft in the future. The lodge and hot tub were clean and in good condition. The surrounding areas were stunning with a short drive to Keswick and beautiful walks. Perfect for couples, families and dogs.
Lewis
Loved the Crummock Vip it had everything we needed. Nice quiet location but also close to places we wanted to visit. Staff on the site were very helpful and only a txt away if needed. Will be nice when the bistro/bar is finished which im sure we will be back to enjoy.
