Lovely cozy lodges by a little tarn. Finished to a high standard with a jacuzzi bath, dishwasher, washing machine and a little fire place. Perfect for a holiday with a dog, even has a doggy exercise area. Close to Kendal and the lakes.

Beautiful setting with lovely views. Nice and private feel. Stayed at The Hedgerow. Modern vibe and well designed lodge and interior. Welcoming notes and instructions were clear and easy to adhere to. Hot tub was ace! Lodge was clean and covid safe. Would absolutely go again. I would definitely recommend this little secluded gem near Kendal. See you soon!

We stayed here over the Bank Holiday weekend and it was perfect. The accommodation was clean and tidy, modern and set out lovely, we were in the sett. We had fresh flowers on the table when we arrived that was lovely and the views over the lake are just beautiful with lots of wild life to watch. It is located about 10-15 minutes from kendal down tiny country roads. Kendal has your usual supermarkets and great takeaway options. I would definitely recommend these lodges and will be back.
