Fabulous

Chester Lodge is fantastic, in fact the pictures don’t do it justice. Showers are excellent, with good water pressure. Lots of tech features, lighting, sound speakers etc. Good base for exploring, with lovely walks and views. We had glorious weather, the wet gear did not come out once :) Sarah was very responsive to any questions we had. Would highly recommend, we hope to return at some point.

Stunning Lake District Lodge

Four adults stayed at Chester’s Lodge for a week aged from late 50’s to late 60’s. The Lodge is very luxurious with every amenity that you are likely to need, situated in a peaceful setting relatively close to Lake Coniston. The host Sarah is very quick to respond to queries and questions. This was our second visit and I am sure we will return again.

Superb house stay

Amazing house nestling in a small development. It’s upside down, with bedrooms below and a large open plan area above. Very well equipped kitchen and enough televisions to prevent any arguments about what to watch. Ideal location for exploring the southern lakes. Would recommend boat tour of the lake on the National Trust boat Gondola and the walks around Grizedale Forest (weather permitting!). Swimming in the lake (a short walk away) is a treat for those who like cold water and there is also the possibility of a canoe trip to the Swallows and Amazons island. All in all a memorable stay in a great house in a wonderful location. Highly recommended.

Wish it had wheels!

Amazing lodge that we would like to put on wheels and take with us on future adventures. Beautiful location. We had daily sheep visits and even an owl made an appearance on our last evening. All the mod cons. Drying room very useful. Showers were lovely. We had a slight issue with the internet connection (network provider) and Sarah and Steven responded extremely quickly and were on the case sorting it out, which was very much appreciated. We had an amazing week. The weather wasn’t great but didn’t stop us. At the end of the day it was comforting to know we were going back to the lovely lodge.

Fabulous house in a superb setting

Fabulous, but OTT! It took us most of the week to work out how to work the hob! Bluetooth for our phone was way beyond us. Very comfortable beds. Lots of space upstairs, but a creaky floor to disturb anyone having a lie-in. 4* because freezer was iced up, and Dyson hadn't been emptied when we arrived.

Wonderful Stay

We so enjoyed the week we spent at Chester's Lodge. The property was immaculate and we were blessed with fine weather which enabled us to enjoy the the outside areas. The communication with the owners was first rate as they were able to check out the proposed road closures on the road almost immediately by the entrance to the property grounds. #It was unfortunate that there was a constant noise from a generator supplying the electricity to the other properties following the storms last year but this was beyond the control of the owners and, to be honest, it was just 'white noise' after a while. The Lodge is within walking distance of Coniston Water and we enjoyed swimming in the Lake on a number of days. The Lodge is very well equipped in terms of storage, cooking facilities etc. although we didn't notice the second fridge (in the Utility Room) until Day 2 (I really need to get my eyes tested!) As the weather was so good we didn't really take advantage of the different seating areas upstairs but the feeling of space was wonderful and the bedrooms were very comfortable.

Beautiful property, flawed experience

The property is beautiful with high quality fixtures and fittings in a quiet rural location. Pillows on the beds were dreadful and there was limited towels (1 per person). There was a generator droning away continuously during our stay. This was obviously there for a reason but spoiled the peaceful location when sitting outdoors. Everywhere you looked there was a sign that you “must do” something. Clean the alcove in the shower after use, strip the beds, don’t do this, don’t do that. Plus check in was 16:00 but check out was 10:00 giving 6 hours to clean even though you had to strip the bed, out towels in a bag, clean all surfaces down, make sure the dish washer was empty. I love to stay and quality accommodations but the rules here were ridiculous and I wouldn’t recommend it just based on that. Go elsewhere is my advice.

Fantastic house in an amazing location

This house has everything you could wish for. Not only is it brilliantly designed and specified to a very high standard, it also sits beside the lake and the amount of glass in the property makes you feel at times like you are in the woods themselves. The property is beautiful equipped, very comfortable and welcoming.

Fabulous stay in beautiful surroundings

We all had a fantastic stay at Chesters Lodge and cannot fault it. Myself, partner and teenagers of 16 and 19 were very impressed with all the facilities and just how comfortable the property is. All mod cons yet homely in a peaceful woodland setting. Sitting on the decking area after cooking in the well equipped kitchen was a joy. We used the binoculars provided to watch the woodpeckers each day. The beds are so comfortable after a day’s activity in the area and showers are of a generous size with plenty of hot water. There is a lovely walk up to Beacon Tarn from the property and we also walked up Old Man of Coniston with amazing views. Weather was kind so paddle boarding and swimming in the Lake were a must. We also ventured further afield with trips to Grasmere, Piel island with its castle, Furness Abbey, Manjushri Kadampa Buddhist Temple, Cathedral and Rydal Caves and Derwent water. So much to do! We made some great memories at Chesters and Sarah was always on hand if needed. You will not be disappointed by booking this property, just do it!

Brilliant place however some room for improvements

First and foremost I must say that myself and my mates had a great time, really easy-going getaway in a modernised home. It would be easy to list off all the good parts however think of it as everything I don't mention in the following: In terms of the things that could be done better, we all agreed that the lounge would be better off with blinds. The bathrooms could also do with locks especially with a full house being present. The Wi-Fi would also intermittently drop. The BBQ also caused an issue or two with how close the coals would sit to the food, causing burning. And lastly, we believe it would've been helping to keep some fire starting mechanisms on deck, such as a lighter or matches. This may sound critical but rest assured we thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would certainly recommend to others. Many thanks, Mikaail

Short stay in June 2021

The property was ideal for our adult family. The reverse layout, with bedrooms downstairs, was novel and worked well. All 4 bedrooms were very generously sized and comfortable. The bathroom and en suites were similarly spacious. Upstairs we were spoilt for choice for where to eat and relax. We didn't used the 2 terraces much but loved the enveloping green and leafy surroundings. It was an excellent base for 3 days of serious walking based around Coniston Water.
