The Fold

Excellent lodge!

Lovely view, clean, well appointed. We will be returning.

Lovely lodge, couldnt fault anything.

Location ideal and everything we needed was there.

As always a lovely place to stay for a break in the lakes.

Probably our 3rd or 4th stay now and always a pleasure. My only feedback is the hot water pressure is horrendous so having a shower and running a sink isn’t the easiest but that said a small sacrifice for a great lodge.

The perfect holiday lodge.

Wonderful views and the interior of the lodge is perfect. Everything you could possibly need for a holiday in the Lakes. Such a peaceful setting yet in walking distance of Keswick.

Lovely clean accommodation, very well equipped with beautiful views.

A small suggested improvement for the elderly or those less mobile would be a grab handle and slip proof mat in the shower but the lack of it should not be seen as a negative comment.

Our second stay at The Fold.

Perfectly located and a lovely place to stay for a wonderful walking holiday. We will be back.

This is an excellent lodge to stay.

15 mins walk into A Keswick. The Lodge itself is so clean with everything you need . Would certainly come back to this lodge, the views up skiddaw and Lattrig whilst sat eating are so fantastic you could not ask for more, full points to the owners

Lovely hidden cabin in keswick.

The cabin is comfortable with lovely views of latrigg and skiddaw. Some recommendations for visitors: A meal at the 17th century pub " the pheasant" is a must A walk into keswick has 2 ways the nicest being along the river greta through Fitz park Take a visit to ashness bridge and surprise view For paddle boarders/boaters etc use kettlewell national trust car park for launching early or late as busy Market days are Thursday and Saturday

Very well-equipped and comfortable.

Excellent position for exploring the Lakes.

Excellent all round, we had everything we needed to make our holiday enjoyable.

Thank you for your generosity.

Very well equipped and clean property.

Beautiful setting and within easy walking reach of Keswick and road network. There was only 2 of us staying in a 3 bedroom property because we needed a walk in shower which was perfectly adequate. If there was 6 staying, there would be a problem with storage as the wardrobes were used for storage by owners.

Really enjoyable 5 days with my son before he returns to uni.

Great property and location on site. Very nicely presented. Thanks for the laundry and dishwasher product. Saw a really cute red squirrel playing right outside one morning. Enhanced by some unbelievable weather. Walked 40km per day - didn’t use the car once. Many thanks. P & H

This was the 2nd time that we have hired this beautifully appointed lodge in an amazing position near Keswick.

It is a home from home. If you are able it is within walking distance of Keswick. There is much to do to entertain you,walking,cycling,places of interest eg Dalmaine House and Lowther Castle to name only 2 or you can sit on the lodge patio enjoying the view and peace and quiet.

Absolutely brilliant strongly recommend staying !

! Would rate this a solid 9/10 ! Cannot pick a single fault other than the main door is stiff “swollen wood” Don’t even consider it just book !

Absolutely lovely lodge with a glorious view.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to book again. Handy for Keswick and walks up Latrigg! The peace and quiet.was wonderful. Our thanks to Helen for such a terrific place and apologies for disturbing you due to our timing being off!

Really nice accommodation would definitely recommend

The property was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The only thing that possibly needs replacing is the bulb in the outside light by the front door as it is very dull and does not light the steps when dark.

The location is perfect for Keswick and surrounding areas along with the very quiet site.

The lodge is well equipped however it was below standard for cleanliness and maintenance considering the premium price we paid. When we arrived the en-suite bathroom light wasn’t working, the owner quickly resolved this but the following night the main bathroom light stopped working. We didn’t want to have our holiday interrupted a second time so notified the owner prior to leaving so it was fixed for the next arrivals. We also found dirty underwear under the bunkbed, rubbish behind the bedside unit and crumbs under the settees. The main bedroom mattress was too soft for us so we had a terrible weeks sleep and bad backs. The bunkbed mattresses were so worn you could feel the bobbles through the sheets with no mattress protectors on. I informed the owner of these directly as I didn’t really want to leave a bad review on the website, the response was that these would be looked at the next time they visited but I got no apology which is the reason for me now leaving this. Not impressed, won’t be returning and if it was my lodge I’d put the effort in the maintain it and be grateful to people paying towards its use.

All was in very good order and it was good to see that a few improvements had been made since last year

The Fold was a wonderful lodge.

Had everything needed for a break in the lakes. Nicely located too. Well equipped kitchen, and clean throughout. Comfy beds. If only we could organise better weather - but that’s what you expect in the lakes, so you just get on with it. Loved it and would recommend. What would I like more of? A coffee machine (type advertised so you can bring your own pods) An extra couple of gin glasses and a few more cups & plates in the cupboard.

Amazing location.

We spent so much time just sitting on the verandah watching sheep, birds, cattle and hill climbers. So handy for Keswick and the shoos too.

The lodge was lovely, however the mattress were very soft.

There was an ironing board but no iron. Two of the blinds couldn’t be pulled up and we couldn’t find the code to the internet - our mobile phone reception wasn’t great, so being connected would have been great. But over all we had an excellent stay- thank you.
