The location is perfect with easy access to everywhere within the national park. The cottage was clean and well maintained but we found the bed very uncomfortable and the lack of storage space for our two week stay a problem. Any potential holiday makers should be aware that access to the lodge would be very problematic for any elderly or disabled Read moreguests. We were very much looking forward to enjoying the pool area but after days out it was closed by the time we got back with a 6.30 closing. Hide

We had a wonderful stay at Tarn Hows. The log cabin is in a beautiful location. The cabin was very clean, cosy, very well equipped with everything you could possibly need and the beds were so comfy!

Very comfortable lodge in a great location. Well equipped, cosy and warm. There are a number of good walks/hikes that can be commenced from the lodge - which is convenient if you dont want to drive everywhere. The pool/jacuzzi were welcomed after long hikes! Nice welcoming touches such as biscuits/chocolate and coffee! Will be booking again.

A lovely cabin in the trees with great views and wildlife visitors. The balcony was a nice addition to give some extra space as the cabin is petite.

Lovely cabin situated just outside Ambleside. Lovely walks around the area. The Cabin was already to go when we arrived and everything was clean and tidy on arrival.
