We had a great November week at Bleaberry Lodge. The house was lovely, warm and cosy, well equipped, spotlessly clean and with very comfortable beds. We loved the gorgeous views from all the windows, and the Galleries Cafe a very short stroll from the house with its delicious food and friendly staff. A really comfortable and enjoyable stay - thank Read moreyou! Hide

Great week at this cottage. The access road is tight but fine once you get used to it. Elevation of the cottage gives the fabulous views. Lovely comfortable beds & cottage is cosy with the Aga. Would be happy to stay again.

Really lovely cottage well placed for activities such as hiking, mountain biking, paddle boarding etc. A very welcoming warm cottage which sleeps six adults easily. The views are stunning and the garden is visited by some lovely birds and bunnies. Bit difficult to access the drive but worth the effort.

A lovely property in a great location. Keswick is 5 minutes away if you need anything! Access to the back garden is steep and not for those with mobility issues - but our dogs (lab sized) loved it. We will be back.

Delightful cottage in a lovely village with walks from the door. Its elevated position gives fabulous views to the west, the extensive hillside garden to the rear however is unsuitable for young children

This is a superb Lakeland home with outstanding views over the fells and surrounding area. It was easy to find and access with only minor manoeuvres. It offers everything you could ask for and require for a very comfortable and cosy stay and offers easy access to the Northern Lakes. We loved our stay here and would definitely be back.

We visit the Lakes every year as a family and this cottage was one of our faves. The cottage itself is gorgeous, all fitted to a high standard and really cosy. Location was perfect, Keswick a 5 min drive away. Only negative is a 5pm check in is too late, we were unpacking in the dark, not ideal with small children.
