Guests have praised 26 Dukes Meadow for its spaciousness, comfortable furnishings, and large, wildlife-rich garden. The lodge's quiet, rural location is appreciated for relaxation and its proximity to local attractions. The well-equipped kitchen and cleanliness are frequently mentioned, contributing to a pleasant stay.
The majority of guests found the lodge to be spotless and very well maintained, contributing to a comfortable stay. However, there was a single mention of the lodge being very dirty, which suggests an isolated incident rather than a common issue.
The lodge's rural setting in Cumbria is generally seen as peaceful and ideal for wildlife observation, though some guests felt it was a bit too far from certain walks and attractions. The location is quiet and offers a good balance between seclusion and access to nearby towns.
Guests consistently report that the beds are very comfortable and the living space is cosy, with a powerful shower and a warm log fire. The spaciousness of the lodge adds to the overall comfort level.
The lodge is well-equipped, especially the kitchen, and guests appreciated the enclosed garden. Some minor maintenance issues were mentioned, such as non-working lights and a lack of bathroom extractor fan, but these do not seem to detract significantly from the overall experience.

Greystoke 4.2 miles. A delightful, homely detached lodge near Greystoke in the Lake District. The warming living area and fantastic location for the outdoors, this lodge is ideal for a family looking for a fun-packed holiday. The cottage comes with wooden-clad walls and a comforting open plan living area complete with a large and comfortable corner sofa with recliners in front of the TV, the perfect chilling spot for the evenings. The kitchen is stylishly furnished and fitted with everything you could need for a holiday. The bedrooms are cosy and warming with charming artwork and bed linen as well as plenty of storage for clothes, making this cottage all the more inviting. The interior is complete with a family bathroom. When the sun comes out, why not open the doors and take in the country air whilst sitting on the large decking whilst the children explore the surrounding grounds. There are plenty of charming villages in the area including Greystoke and Skelton which are a short drive away, These are pleasant villages with a traditional pub, making the perfect base for exploring the Lake District which is very close by. Take a trip to Hesket New Market which is home to Britain's first community owned pub and microbewery. The stunning towns of Penrith and Keswick are both nearby. Penrith offers fantastic shops and buildings whereas Keswick is firmly in the Lake District National Park, it's surrounded by scenery and is certainly worth the visit.
