The hotel manager Morgan really demonstrated exemplary hospitality. He personally drove us out of a storm to the hotel when the trains shut down and the taxis in the vicinity were not in service. He also upgraded our room when the storm affected WiFi in some parts of our hotel and saw to it that we were comfortable and cosy. 10/10 hospitality, and by far the absolute best travel experiences with a Hotel we've had and could've asked for (and it isn't even close!). Choose Beech Hill Hotel and Spa if you're in the vicinity. You'll be well taken care of : )

The perfect getaway after the hustle and bustle of Christmas - and probably the quietest time of the year to enjoy The Lakes without the crowds. Check out Brysons (delicious food and very generous sized sandwiches), The Cornish pie shop (great produce and service) and Roly’s Fudge shop where you can see the creamy, crumbly fudge being made.

The area is ideal for visiting the southern Lakes, the Cumbria peninsular, easy access from the M6. Spectacular views of mountains, great opportunity for outdoor activities such as walking, cycling, canoeing, running. Most attractions have restricted opening hours out of main season, so research well and you wont be disappointed. Even when there was inclement weather, there"s enough in nearby towns to occupy you. Shops, Theatres, cinema etc

Fantastic stay as a last minute decision for our family of 5 and the dog. Friendly welcome and freshly cleaned pod on arrival. Spacious enough for us all - even my 6ft4 husband slept well. Pods heated up quickly and held the heat nicely through the night. Toilets and showers were clean and had hooks on the doors for keeping clothes dry etc. We didn’t use the kitchen area but it was clean and spacious. Games room had plenty of seating and a table tennis table but no rackets or ball unfortunately. The campfire area was loved by our children in the evening. Enough parking space and close to lots of local walks and experiences. There were bikes on site that could be hired which would be a great family activity but I’m not sure on the pricing.

Good walks to Wray Castle and Claife Viewing Station overlooking Windermere.
