Great little place good location only 20 min walk to Keswick, my only concern was a quite a busy road onto roundabout, I think in the main holidays I think it would be even more busy but this is just a small niggle, very clean and very comfortable.

We had a fabulous week at Bracken Lodge. The lodge was very clean and well equipped and only a 20 minute walk into Keswick via Fitz Park. We can highly recommend the Pheasant Inn for an evening meal but it might be an idea to book as it can get busy, the Square Orange in Keswick is also nice but small and you are unable to book.

I could not recommend this lodge more. It is in a perfect, peaceful location, and only a short walk through Fitz Park takes you into the centre of Keswick. You also walk past a lovely country pub (dog friendly) called the Pheasant, a nice stop for food on your way back to the lodge. The lodge itself has all you need, supplied by the lovely owners.

The host responded quickly to queries and the property was easy to find and fairly close to Keswick albeit the cottage is right beside a busy roundabout. The cottage itself is quite rustic but serviceable and reasonably comfortable (although it gets very hot inside on even a moderately warm day).
