We have just returned from our 2 week stay at Horsemoor Lodge. This is a gem of a place and even though the weather tried to dampen our time there we still had a fantastic time. If you enjoy seclusion then this is the place for you. You just have a farm, their sheep and the local wildlife as company. The cottage itself was fantastic, with comfortabRead morele beds, plenty of room and everything you might need for your stay. Our dogs loved the secure garden and the youngest loved watching the lambs. Hide

A lovely cottage in a lovely area, peaceful and quiet with walks right from the door. Clean, beautifully furnished and very spacious. Very warm, light and bright. Despite a very wet week we had a great time. For those with a dog the garden is completely enclosed.

A hidden gem in the north of the Lakes. Had a brilliant stay, walks on the doorstep with the isolation we crave.

We were very impressed with Horsemoor Lodge and would strongly recommend staying here. Spotlessly clean, spacious and stylish, very warm, a lovely log fire and comfortable beds too. Unfortunately the weather restricted walking in the area and Storm Isha cut off the electricity for a while. We were grateful to Roger and his brother for linking to thRead moree farm generator, and the candles, flasks and logs. A lovely rural area well be back to explore some more. Hide

Just returned from an amazing Christmas stay, the holiday cottage was amazing and the owners made sure we felt Christmassy with the large real Tree lit and decorated, and mince pies and Champagne. We enjoyed that much we have booked to stay again for Christmas 2024 . Highly recommend Horsemoor Lodge

The Horsemoor Lodge is an amazing, spacious cottage in a stunning location. It is especially great for city dwellers who want some peace and quiet time with nature and away from touristy areas. Keswick is close by and so are several walking/hiking trails including the famous Dodd Wood and the Morehouse estate. I would prefer living in BassenthwaiteRead more, Orthwaite over Windermere anyday to truly appreciate what Lake District has to offer over commercialisation seen in Windermere. Hide
