Just wanted to say that we had a lovely time at your lodge. We did so much walking that I needed a week off when we got back!
Sarah and Imran. Gloucester, June 2009
Would like to say again a big thank you. Even though the weather and floods got bad it still did not put us off, it's such a lovely place.
Nathan, Scunthorpe after the floods in November 2009
An ideal weekend. Great cabin with everything you could possibly need. We enjoyed some excellent trips into Ambleside and Windermere, even stopping by Grasmere for the famous gingerbread. The chilly morning coffees on the balcony will be greatly missed. It will be a shame to leave.
Louise, Jamie and Toby the Lurcher. Durham, May 2009
We spent a lot of time at the Queens Head pub. Very dog friendly and good food......especially the chocolate cheesecake!
Andy, Louisa and Alfie the dog, Apperley Bridge. May 2009
Perfect lodge, stunning location. Perfect weather for a cosy break - lots and lots of walking, hill climbing etc, (3ft of snow on top of Helvellyn), and of course eating and drinking. Thanks for a great week.
Thanks again for a wonderful view for 3 days! (Never seen such clear water!)

RIVERSIDE LODGES
We had a great time (again) this year. The cabin’s location is very central, peaceful and not overlooked. We had some wonderful walks through breathtaking scenery and did a steamer trip to discover the other end of Windermere.

Lodge is such a peaceful location and had everything we needed for a relaxing holiday
