We recently spent a week at the Larchwood Lodge as a family of 4 adults with our 2 Labradors, and it honestly could not have been a better experience. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed with how welcoming, spotless, and beautifully presented the lodge was.The lodge itself is thoughtfully designed, spacious, and very comfortable. The open-plan living and dining area was ideal for relaxing together after a day out exploring the Lake District. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed and the welcome pack that was provided was an excellent tough. Bedrooms were cosy, with plenty of space for unpacking and settling in, and the bathrooms were modern and pristine. It really felt like a home away from home, but with that extra touch of luxury.The location at Dukes Meadow is perfect â quiet and peaceful, surrounded by lovely scenery, yet only a short drive to some of the most beautiful walks and attractions in the Lake District. It was always a joy to come back to the comfort of the lodge afterwards.The hosts had clearly thought about everything guests might need â from the practical details to the little touches that made the stay feel extra special. It was obvious a lot of care goes into keeping the lodge at such a high standard.Larchwood Lodge is an outstanding place to stay with family, friends, or dogs. Itâs peaceful, comfortable, and perfectly located for exploring the area. We cannot wait to be back again next year.
