Dobby Lodge

Comfortable and clean . Everything we required

Beautiful little lodge. Very clean with all mod cons. Absolutely beautiful surroundings

There was nothing not to like other than the WiFi signal. Qe were staying due to work in the area and that is the only issue we could find.

Well maintained and stocked Lodge. Very comfortable, exactly what we needed. There was everything you would need. Coffee machine dishwasher, comfy clean beds clean towels, hot water on demand, and the heating was on when we arrived. Thanks to all, hopefully see you again.

The weather and leaving.

It had all of the facilities that you need for a comfortable stay and the location is stunning as you are a stones throw from the Keswick and Bassenthwaite.

The accommodation is too small if you have a medium to large dog. Also the overall cleanliness was lacking a little as the kitchen workbenches were sticky and the same could be said for the dining table. There was also a lot of dust on the blinds and cobwebs on the windows. It was as if the staff didn't have the time to do a thorough clean before we arrived. However as there is a very late check in time of not before 4pm and a check out time of no later than 10am, I would have thought this would be more than enough time for a deep clean.

Great location for visiting family quiet and dog friendly

Unusually there was a heat wave in the Lake District. Unfortunately the lodge wasn’t equipped to deal with this. One bedroom we were not able to use as it was too hot . Not enough windows in the lodge open to get enough air flow. We really needed air-con but I appreciate the weather was exceptional. Flies were a problem as our lodge was near dog poo bin which was never emptied during our stay.

furniture and fixings were of high quality.

we went in mid June 2023 when temp was high 20s, low-to-mid 30s. the property when we arrived had been left closed up so was in the region of 32 degrees when we arrived at 6pm. no fans were on or windows open, though curtains had been closed. Really uncomfortable night’s sleep as a result. also not clear where you could walk your dog. they claim to have an obstacle course for your fur baby, but we didn’t find it despite exploring all over the park.

Fantastic location with awesome views. Peaceful.

The decking was facing the caravan/lodge opposite. Was a shame the lodge was orientated that was round !
