Bassenthwaite Lake, United Kingdom
Positive section of review
Lakeside lodge is quaint pretty and comfy so close to bassenthwaite lake, very good value for money, the full English breakfast was very nice, the outdoor area was lovely and so cute in the evening with the outdoor lighting, the location was perfect so close to keswick and cockermouth also not far from lots of the other lakes. The hosts were very helpful and went out of their way to help with finding where we could launch a boat as the slipway at bassenthwaite lake couldn't accommodate the size boat ,Tim our host contacted the yacht club 5 mins from where we stayed and managed to sort us using the slipway there, so the fishing wkend was saved, thank you Tim and the yacht club

Can not fault the lodge the outdoor area the hosts were so helpful and friendly a lovely place to stay at the lakes, the only thing we didn't like is some of the lakes do not have easy slipways for boats and a few are not accessible with roads closed to them. Not helpful when u take a boat to the lakes to fish and u struggle to launch ur boat,

This was an exceptionally well presented 1 bedder, with superb attention to detail (linen, tea/coffee, hairdryer, bedding) & decor! I loved the location away from tourist areas yet still within walking distances to the areas I wanted to explore. I stayed 3 nights but would recommend a larger room for more than 1 night. I would certainly recommend this to my friends & family!

Property was lovely and clean and modern, and had everything we needed, if I had to pick something I would say the sofa wasn’t comfortable, but other than that was great, my husband has been Pourly so we used Uber to get about this was great, Aldi 3 mins away to get shop g for caravan, great cafe beautiful by the river and nice pub.

Traffic noise permeated into room. Room window and surrounding wall was water damaged and had black mold. Next to no table top surface upon which to set our three carry on bags and day packs most of which has to be placed on the floor. Only one lamp out of four had a functional bulb. Room was reserved for three guests but room amenities such as towels, cups, water glasses, etc. were set for two guests only. Smeared handprints all over window glass. Plumbing fixture handles in bathroom were very loose.

Being chased on what time are you arriving - fort William is a pretty long way from most major populated areas. Being asked to specify breakfast time when there is loads of covers for the number of rooms and it’s self service anyway
