Lovely weeks stay in Hawkshead Lodge with hot tub. Lodge was spotlessly clean and well equipped to meet our needs and we would definatly return out of season again.Hoseasons website advertise this lodge as having a private corner position, this however is not the case. There appears to have been additional lodges added to the area therefore not as private as advertised This did not impact upon the stunning view of Scaffel with its ever-changing colours which was stunning.Also, it would be beneficial for the site to have signage of reception area ( l8cated in Herdwick *****'s Bistro) . I would also suggest for the site to have a folder / information of walking / hiking routes of the local area, when we enquired in the bistro the individual in the bar area was not helpful at all despite informing us he had lived there for a few years . Overall a lovely last minute week away in a very comfortable lodge.

When we entered the lodge everything seemed okay, but sadly the cleanliness let the lodge down alot. The sofas were very stained and need a good clean, the carpets were full of spillage stains. The oven was very dirty and also needed a deep clean, the fridge had a funny smell. The WiFi was not always working, so we couldn't use our Netflix. The hot tub doesn't stay hot and there was no way to control the temperature, so we couldn't stay in it for long. We had a problem with the boiler on the Saturday, so we tried to call the warden at 8am and the phone kept going to answer phone. I finally got through to someone at the bar at 10:20am. The location is good and your not overlooked. But sadly we won't be returning.

Lodge was spotlessly clean amd really nice comfy decor inside. Comfy large beds in both rooms. We stayed in the loweswater which was lovely amd private, hottub was clean and chexked daily and emptied when leaving which i think is important, it was hot and in a private garden area at the side with stunning south facing views. Will be returning as lots of great walks from the lodge. The area is beautiful.

Large comfortable lodge with a private hotbtub, however, attention to detail would enable a much higher ratings, cobwebs on light fixtures, large shower head not connected, free standing bath hot water not great, as needed to top up from kettle, gas cooker not brilliant and no microwave, which would have been helpful as on site Bistro was not open for 5 of the 7 days we were there.

The internet kept dropping out and that became frustrating as tv chanels poor and could not stream because of the internet.

No one on park really felt bit pricey for time of year & in beginning of review ( logs ) feel they owners not really fussed as long as getting £ ,plus don’t think hot tub “ that” private ,in hindsight having been Wouldn’t go back ,picture well certainly of view from hot tub dosnt really portray Reality,too many caravans on site ,thought it was a lodge ummm????

Great lodge, lovely comfortable bed and bedding, large bath sheet. Very clean and well maintained. Lots of outdoor space on the decking. WiFi worked well. Lots of equipment in the kitchen including dishwasher and washing machine, heating worked very well once we worked out how to use the thermostat setup. Would be happy to come here again.

Lovely lodge and perfect for a one year old However finishing touches such as hand soap tea and coffee would be nice. The mattress in the main bedroom has seen better days

The Lodge was clean, comfortable and stylish, and the hot tub was great to relax in after days out exploring, although unusually, you do need to take your own robes to use when getting out of the hot tub. We've always found that other Hoseasons locations have provided robes. We did advise the staff by text (as advised if there were any issues) that there was a loose toilet seat and toilet roll holder, but we didn't get a response.

Beautiful, so clean and tidy.

The overwater lodge was fantastic. Very clean. It had everything we could have asked for. The hot tub was amazing after some very long hikes. We would definitely return.

Beautiful lodge, immaculate and quality soft furnishings throughout . Lovely decking area with outdoor seating and dining area. Hot tub a lovely extra too!

Excellent lodge and facilities lovely and modern just could do with a few more utensil's in the kitchen and proper oven gloves.

Stunning lodge, very clean, we were all very comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.The only tip I would suggest is perhaps some hooks on the fence by the hot tub so we can hang towels/robes but everything was great and we really enjoyed our break.

It was brand new so everything was super clean , main thing for me is cleanliness. Hope it will be kept clean as there were a lot of shelves to dust ( spiders will love it) Fittings were lovely looking and furniture very comfy , settee and bed nice and big too. Could have done with a coffee machine, otherwise good cooking facilities. Cupboards could have done with a bit better organising to give room to put groceries , there seemed to be something in every cupboard .

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.

A lovely break , peaceful location

Lovely place to stay, lovely views

A lovely lodge with modern decor and comfortable furnishings. Could just do with a top up of some of the crockery/cutlery (e.g. only 3 bowls for a family of 4).

The lodge was not luxury and lack of storage for food, no mirrors apart from the bathroom cabinets.

Lovely lodge, a few things would make it better, like dressing gowns, slippers and a cover/canopy over the hot tub so you can go in no matter what the weather!

Lovely lodge with stunning furnishings. Hot tub was amazing. The lodge was immaculate

Accommodation was immaculate,

Amazing lodge, beautiful scenery and welcoming staff. Will definitely be returning ????

Fabulous stay, beautiful lodge and holiday park, so peaceful and quiet. Will definitely return and would highly recommend.

Our stay has been really relaxing it was a shame we couldn’t do much due to our little one being very poorly but it was exactly what we needed staying in a cosy relaxing environment away from everything and Crummock provided that I want to book again and kind of make it into a thing we do as family get away to relax but this time do some walking ahah

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.

Best Christmas yet! Lovely lodge, very clean and served its purpose.Will definitely be returning.

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.

Fantastic lodge

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)

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!

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!

excellent lodge nice and quiet location with plenty nearby activities staff really friendly will definitely go back

Gorgeous place nestled in between one of the lakes and a distillery. Great for walkers and other lakes within 20/30 min drive.

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.

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.

Great location and accommodation was very comfortable - no issues. We enjoyed the hot tub which was clean and well maintained. Would definitely return.

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!

Lovely small park set with gorgeous views

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.

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.
