A lovely lodge and one we would return to in the future.. Well laid out, well equipped and quiet as well as being hidden away. Great holiday home.

Really nice property (will be staying again).. I’ve stayed in plenty of lodges/log cabins and this is by far my favourite.

We had an absolutely fantastic week in Silly Knott at Otter Tarn, our lodge was beautiful and all amenities were of the highest standard.. It was immaculate in every sense, with every thought taken to ensure comfort. It's a hidden gem with its own Tarn and lovely grounds you can spend the day walking in, truly amazing. The welcome bonus of the hot tub after an exhilarating day walking was great. It was so nice to go to an area in the lakes thats not as touristy and busy as some areas and has more natural surroundings, couldn't have been better and we have been to the lakes many times. Kath was a great host and nothing was too much trouble, all in all a wonderful stay!

Excellent, first class accommodation set in a tranquil and beautiful area, very accessible for the southern lakes.. We will definitely return.

The house was lovely.. Very stylish and comfortable. Great attention to detail - although the very slippery shower trays could do with mats. However I never leave that to chance and had taken one for my elderly mother.
Miss Vivash

Outstanding property, real luxury in every way.. The grounds, the hot tub, the walks round the fishing lake and the log burning stove, A perfect peaceful retreat yet just a short drive from lake Windermere and all the facilities. We will return for sure.

Upon arrival we were greeted by Kath, the owner, who showed us around the exquisite property.. The most well-equipped, luxurious kitchen we have ever seen. The walks around the lodge were so beautiful and the hot tub was so perfect after a muddy hike. Kath was easily contactable and completely unobtrusive on our holiday. The views were spectacular and even though there are other lodges, you feel completely private and it is very peaceful.

The lodge was even better than the photographs showed and situated in a great setting. There are four lodges in total all angled and distanced to be totally private. The accommodation was first class and to a standard that we have been looking for in the Lakes for many years but not found until now.
