The lodge is like a tardis. Once your in through the front door you’ll be wowed by the internal dimensions. It’s huge. Two bathrooms. Essential. The log burning stove is a furnace. Brilliant. Plenty of hot water and great pressure for a good shower. Fast internet and smart tv.

The mattress topper on the bed. Not a great night’s sleep. Could be a bit cleaner. The electric radiators make a beeping noise as they heat up/cool down. But provide great heat, it’s a trade off.

A lovely well maintained, large lodge. Very clean with comfortable beds and good quality white bedding. Great shower. Nice size TV and everything you need in the kitchen. The fresh eggs were delicious. Our two dogs were safe in the secure private garden area. Excellent location for the Lakes and the coast. The owners are friendly but also allowed us to enjoy our stay with privacy. The alpacas, donkeys and horses are adorable. We saw a red squirrel eating on the wooden verandah. Perfect! Next time we’re staying for a week - or two!

All good

An excellence peaceful and relaxing spot with the comforts needed in a relaxed environment. The window and patio doors were fab for watching for wildlife including birds of prey and red squirrels. Loved the thought that had gone into some of the provisions such as the binoculars and the night light to go out with the dogs in the dark. The kitchen was well equipped with lots of utensils and cleaning products. The eggs were also a lovely touch and very tasty! Thank you :)

Just one minor point that some of the cooking trays are ready for replacement but it was not a major issue at all.

Our stay at Alpaca lodges was just the most wonderful get away imaginable. Michael and Sarah were fabulous hosts, unlike some on site owners, they were only seen when you needed a little fire wood or some more of those wonderful fresh eggs. With privacy assured, the actual lodge in it's perfectly placed setting allowed us the tranquility we had wished, for a perfect week away. The lodge is majestic in size, two large rooms, twin beds and an en suite double with ample space in the fantastic living area made it just perfect. All the mod cons, WiFi etc and a fully packed kitchen meant you could happily hunker down without need to go anywhere. The lodge has a beautiful open balcony/terrace, east facing so we watched the moon over the valley whilst listening to the owls under the stars. In the morning, watched the sunrise as the plethora of wonderful birdlife came to feed at the little feeders perfectly placed around the lodge. Even at -7, the massive wood burner heated the whole abode in no time, and I must admit to being guilty of throwing on an extra log or two, to watch the warm colours give a beautiful light across the room. To top all this off, you have the on site Alpacas which we did a meet and greet with, along with a good half dozen or so horses and donkeys which would welcome you from their stables as you walked along the driveway. In short, the perfect place for a small family or group of friends, super cozy, super clean, all the mod cons, perfectly private and bang in the heart of pretty little valley teeming with wildlife. We wish Sarah and Michael all the luck in the world for all their hard work. We will 100% be staying there again.
