Striding Edge Lodge in Windermere receives high praise for its stunning location, homely feel, and well-equipped amenities. Guests enjoy the privacy, the views from the veranda, and the proximity to local attractions. The presence of wildlife and thoughtful touches by the owners contribute to a memorable stay, although there are some concerns about cleanliness and maintenance.
Cleanliness
Most guests found the lodge clean and tidy, contributing to a pleasant stay. However, a few reviews mentioned issues with cleanliness, including dirty kitchenware and dust, which slightly lowers the overall score.
Location
The lodge's location is consistently praised for its privacy, sun exposure, and proximity to local sights. It serves as an excellent base for exploring the Lake District, with many guests eager to return.
Comfort
Guests describe the lodge as cosy and homely, with comfortable beds and a warm atmosphere. Some minor feedback on pillows and dampness in bedrooms suggests room for improvement, but overall comfort is highly rated.
Facilities
The lodge is well-equipped, providing everything needed for a comfortable stay. Guests appreciate the modern bathroom and kitchen facilities. Some maintenance issues, such as blocked drains and the need for cleaner common areas, are noted.
Thoughtfulness
The owners' thoughtfulness is evident, with personal touches like a bottle of wine and prompt communication during a power outage. While such gestures are appreciated, they are unique experiences and not guaranteed for all stays.
