Calf How Lodge on Bram Cragg is just wonderful. Gillian is a superb host! The lodge is nestled in the wonderous valley of St John's in the Vale. It's a very central point for exploring the very best of the Lake District. The lodge was very comfortable and the decking looks out onto a pond frequented by herons, fields with cows in and mountains all around. The sunrises and sunsets were spectacular and we often relaxed in the lodge staring at the views. There is one other lodge next door and a converted barn but we rarely noticed any other guests. The wifi worked extremely well and the TV had all the channels needed. On days out we went to Keswick, Windermere, Thirlmere, Derwentwater, Threlkeld Mining Musuem and Penrith to see family. One day we walked from the lodge to Low Bridge End Farm for the most delicious fruit scones, then a 4.5 mile walk back around up the hills opposite our lodge and back. Just stunning! We very hope to be back.
