Thie Loghey

Excellent accomodation, everything very clean and all easy to use.

Lovely facilities. Well located as well.

We have just returned home after our 5th stay over four years.

We are delighted every time with the position, facilities, cleanliness and general upkeep of this property. Already looking forward to our next stay there. John & Barbara

As always the property was maintained to a very high standard.

Good to see the new decking and outside furniture, since we last went. Only one minor niggle was the slight stickiness from cleaning fluids on work surface and tables.

Lovely place to stay, peaceful and quiet with some great walks from the door and lovely views from the decking, and good location for accessing other places by car too.

Lodge had everything we could possibly need so very well equipped and comfy beds. We've been to Hawkshead many times over the years and love it but thought it was rather deserted this year. A lot of shops closed or turned into tearooms/restaurants, so that was quite disappointing but didn't distract from the holiday. Plenty of places for food though!! We liked Poppi Reds. Don't drive through Ambleside without picking up some Bath Buns from the Apple Pie Bakery! OMG, absolutely the best things on this planet!

The lodge is clean comfortable and in a beatiful location with everyhting you need for your stay.

For the first couple of days there were sheep in the field at the front and we regularly saw hares and rabbits. There are a couple of minor issues. The pictures in the listing are old. The suite in the lounge is now fabric and the kitchen units have been painted. To get catchup TV you use a Google Chromecast device which means downloading loads of apps onto your phone or tablet and was tricky to work sometimes. One day we thought we were having an earthquake as the whole lodge started shaking, it turned out to be caused by the washing machine starting it's spin cycle. None of this prevented us from having a lovely holiday and we would stay here again.

I have one comment regarding the check-in and check-out times for the property.

I believe that a 4 p.m. check-in during winter is too late, and a 10 a.m. check-out is too early. I recommend revising the policy to allow for a 2 p.m. check-in and a 12 p.m. check-out.

Thie Loghey is the best self catering property we have stayed at in approximately 50 years of self catering holidays.

Every comfort / item was provided. Home from Home and with its own wifi

We had a fantastic 2 week holiday at Thie Loghey and will definitely be looking to book it again sometime.

Our second time staying at Thie Loghey and it was lovely to be back.

Lodge was very clean and had almost everything we needed, only two dishwasher tablets and one small bin bag being our only niggle, not nearly enough for a 7 night stay so had to buy more. Otherwise everything was great.

An excellent property, clean, comfortable and very well supplied.

An ideal location for exploring this part of the Lake District.

A perfect retreat !

Peaceful yet ideally placed for many walks and facilities. Really comfortable accommodation, warm and spacious. Well maintained and everything for a perfect self-catering holiday. Our fourth stay and we’ll be back !

Our third time at the property and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed it.

Really enjoyed the lodge.

Great location, very peaceful. Outside space awesome for our three young children to run off some steam safely. Great facilities and all clean and tidy. Problem with oven on arrival sorted out immediately. Fence on decking rotting to left hand side just to make you aware. Will defo consider staying again. Thanks

Thie loghey is in a beautiful, quiet spot about 8 mins walk from Hawkshead centre.

It is very well equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay - fluffy large towels, iron, washing machine if needed, hair/ body wash, great shower and bathroom and phone charger! spacious living area and bedrooms. Welcome pack of jams and relish was a nice touch too. The highlights were the views and being woken by bird song in the morning. It’s just such a relaxing place to be and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The weather was excellent - clear blue skies and hot all week - no need to use the log burner! A great base for visiting all the lakes and attractions as well as being able to explore places off the beaten track. Would definitely recommend/ return.

Our third visit and it was as lovely as ever.

Beautiful peaceful setting which we value so highly. Everything as it should be - thank you owners! We would love to see the leather seating replaced as it is now a bit less than comfortable.

Super Lodge, clean and has everything you need for your holiday.

Mattress in one bedroom a tad solid but new so..... Was so nice to have the space in this Lodge, only thing was the worktops in kitchen were sticky,couldn’t put anything down for long as it stuck, apart from that can’t complain! Would recommend the bedroom carpet (with en-suite) give a wee shampoo! Definately would go back.

Fantastic lodge with everything you could ever need and more in a fabulous location your attention to detail is outstanding.

Only critical point was the constent reminder of how to leave the lodge which i personally thought was a bit patronising that said would definitely stay again

We had a second lovely stay and appreciated the improvements and additions made since last year.

We also appreciated the quality of the fittings and furnishings. Minor criticisms Seating is less than comfortable Window blinds were very dusty

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at thie loghey, well appointed luxury lodge, we hope to return, Sykes cottages kept us well informed which contributed to a great holiday

A lovely lodge.

Quiet location, lovely views. Very well equipped. The lodge has everything we needed and more. Very cosy and clean. A really comfortable stay with a short walk to Hawkshead. We had a great family holiday and will definitely be back. We’ve stayed in many properties in the Lake District and this is one of the best.

We have stayed at Thie Loghey several times in the past.

This time however we were disappointed. The lodge just wasn’t clean - the blinds were thick with dust as were the headboards of the bed frames. There were cobwebs, and floors looked like they hadn’t been hoovered. There were white sticky marks on the leather sofa ( one of which was a handprint). There was mould around the shower and the shower heads. We spent an hour cleaning and dusting after 4 hours in the car to get there which is unacceptable. The lodge is tired and could do with some updating but that would’ve been fine if it had been clean. The lodge is in a beautiful position with great views and is very peaceful. It’s only a short walk into Hawkshead which is ideal. I’m sad to say I’m not sure we will be returning because of the lack of cleanliness.

Very comfortable, well equipped lodge in a lovely location.

Really scenic area with lots of great local walks. Feedback just for the owners: One negative…. the mattress on the main bed has a large dip on the side nearest the en-suite and probably needs replaced.

Some features in the lodge are in need of updating due to wear and tear and a few other niggles to make you aware of: • There are two holes in the decking, this didn't give a great first impression when we arrived.

•The key code number I was sent prior to arrival didn't work so had to spend time trying to get through to office to get the right key lock code • We had shopped for provisions before arrival but then found there was no spare toilet paper and both toilets had minimal left in the lodge, not great after a long journey as had to go out again. • Although on the surface the lodge looked clean and tidy there were crayons left on the floor by the dining table and next to double doors. Crumbs,wool and dirt on floor at front of sofa. The sofa comes apart, the sections move when used and in the gaps there was a old hair covered comb and more dust and dirt. • The sofa moving made it a bit uncomfortable as gaps kept needing to be pushed together. • We swivelled the tv so we could all see the screen but the picture went fuzzy, it looks like the aerial had been taped up which means you all have to sit on top of each other to watch it, not comfy with two 6ft + guys. • Some of the kitchen doors need repair or replacing, looks like water damage and the work surface was sticky. • There were quite a few cobwebs in the lounge\diner, quite full of dead insects. I get the lodge is in the countryside and you get more insects etc but not the best image for an expensive lodge I didn't check my emails whilst away but on return home found I'd been emailed on what needed to be done prior to leaving. It would be helpful to send this before the holiday not during as I imagine lots of people like us reduce use of tech when away, I never check emails as need to switch off. I actually think we left the lodge in a cleaner state than we found it but I hadn't known we needed to strip the beds so sorry that we didnt. It wasn't all bad and it's a lovely lodge in a great position but just in need of a little TLC.

Loved it !

Just about to book again. Since you ask, here are a few comments which may help you / owners get even better. Cleanliness very good - Venetian blinds a bit dusty / cobwebby Deck + outside table could have been cleaner Insufficient toilet rolls and washing up liquid Provision of kitchen roll would be nice One tea towel not enough Logs/kindling/firelighters should have been provided ( description says “fuel & power provided”) or specifically noted as not provided Chairs on deck are in terrible unsightly condition Dishwasher front panel terrible. .........and finally, the note stating milk would be delivered unless cancelled was apparently out of date and misleading.
