Lovely base for exploring the Lake district. Whether walking or taking a bus ride. Lots of destinations to get too by bus only disadvantage with the bus transport is they can sometimes not turn up as I experienced on my stay.

A fantastic week at Tarn End. The place was perfect for us and felt just like being at home. The location was ideal for exploring the lakes and the things we wanted to do.I would definitely stay here again and would recommend this accommodation to anyone thinking of visiting and staying near Windermere.

We have stayed in various lodges at White Cross Bay over the past ten years. This was the smallest we have experienced but perfectly acceptable for the two of us. The accomodation is well equipped and user friendly. The heating is easily adjustable and the hot water is extemely hot (beware) and plentiful. The TV is large, furniture is comfortable, good ambient lighting is achievable through thoughtfully provided table lamps. These things contribute to a good 'homely' feel. Noticable, when compared with other lodges we have stayed in, was the lack of cobwebs above eye level, hinting at a thorough cleaning regime. Criticisms - uncomfortable bench at the table. Four chairs would be better. The windows would benefit from blinds rather than just curtains as the lodge is somewhat overlooked. The lodge is situated in a rather dark area which gives it a slightly claustrophobic feel. If location is not a priority, this lodge is a very good choice for a couple though perhaps a little cramped for a family of four.

Can’t fault the place. Lovely lodge, modern and very clean. Provided a perfect base for our mini trip to the lakes. Good value for money considering the location and time of year.
