Overall Ratings & Reviews The Lodge In The Vale

Great location and nice room

Lovely little hotel in an ideal spot, not too far from Keswick, but far enough for quiet. Plenty of walks near by and a good base to set up from to get around. We did take our dogs, and the hotel was very welcoming. The only issue we had was the car park was littered with dog poo and it was a battle to not stand in it. Had this not been an issue, we would have provided 5 stars all round.

Very nice staff was lovely

Just thought it was ideal

Signs for disabled parking could be better. If you are looking for a large room you won't get it here, but it was the right size for us. Glad we were 'upgraded' as think original room would have been too small. If you have a disability make sure you say something as no lift.

Beautiful position,staff friendly and helpful ,room clean comfortable and well appointed, Thankyou ,best wishes Michael Whitehouse 😊

Ideal base for a few days hiking, particularly in the area of Thirlmere & Helvellyn from Swirls. We weren’t in the hotel too much due to hiking, but more than adequate after a tiring day in the fells. Room was comfortable, if a little small (but there are different choices of room type, so you book for your needs!). Clean & well presented. Comfy bed, great amenities for drinks & snacks. Continental breakfast was ideal. Kings Head inn 2 min drive down the road & highly recommend for a post hike reward of beer & a good evening meal! Staff at accommodation were lovely, good conversation, professional, quick check in, always about if you wanted to make a purchase from the cafe. Would definitely recommend for the type of trip we had planned. One little improvement would be maybe the suggestion of some drying facilities for wet hiking gear….. it is the Lakes after all, we did struggle with drying our boots for the next day. Not the end of the world though and would book again either way!

The only fault I would have is that the bed was uncomfortable and there was some road noise at night, otherwise everything was excellent.

There ia not transport and no food in the hotel and for food v need to go to other hotel its far v need to wlak for 20 mins

Attractive property but rooms on the small side.Close to road so could be noisy in early morning.

The price is the best part. No bar or restaurant but cheap, clean and modern.

Lovely property, really enjoyed our stay.

Room was very nice, clean and comfortable. En-suite was a little dated however still nice and clean with good shower pressure and hot water. Very quiet surrounding area made for a peaceful nights sleep. Check-in and check-out was quick and efficient with friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast and parking was £13 extra, however for an extra £3 per person a full english was available a minutes drive down the road which was very reasonable. Overall a decent and recommended night’s stay.

Nice location, very easily accessible. Nice cafe and lounge area. Would be useful to have dinner options but fortunately within walking distance to a pub.

property was fine, nice & clean... would stay again

Great little coffee shop for drinks & snacks

Wouldn't stay again a bit like a youth hostel. Told had room upgrade it was very small only window ceiling velux. Don't know what other room would have been like if this was an upgrade !

Room was clean and spacious. Bathroom was small in relation to the room but overall okay - a few extra touches such as better toiletries would make the room that little bit nicer and feel less like a budget hotel. The continental breakfast was sufficient - people with dietary requirements may struggle unless informing the hotel in advance. I enjoyed the barista made coffee in the morning. Sadly Wi-Fi in the room was really poor but it’s unlikely you’ll be in your room for long periods of time considering the beautiful surroundings.

There was a family staying there for a week with a new born baby and a toddler The baby was crying at 1 o clock in the morning and first thing in the morning the toddler was stamping around and the parents slammed the doors shut Above all that someone was bagging on the wall because of the noise absolute nightmare The sheets were soiled i realised this when I moved the sheets the next day for the cleaner

Everything was perfectly fine. The location was amazing, close to everything. The breakfast had a range of choices despite no hot food. The room was clean, the service was great. Quiet and relaxing.
