Welcome break in stunning location

Higgin, Catherine - 21/10/2025

We were on service pitch1 and had a few issues with ehu I rang the number for help and left a message, no response. Luckily our lead was long enough to stretch to another stand and as there were no other units no problem. Again on the Wednesday power failed again and I called the help number, again no response, so we moved the lead to another unit which was fine. I know it’s low season and there were very few campers but in view of the fact there is no one available on site I think it would help if calls were answered or at least a return call to help with problem solving. The facilities are adequate but the showers were lukewarm warm on day one then just cold.I took photos of the pitches I would use next time we visit rather than the service pitches at the top of the hill which we had difficulty levelling up, so found where we want to be next time. The location is beautiful but without the bistro being open you have to be completely self sufficient or be prepared to drive out.

We had a wonderful, relaxing stay in Ennerdale Lodge. It was October, however the Lodge was warm throughout our stay. The addition of the hot tub was a luxury that made the stay that little bit more luxurious and delightful after a day walking on the fells. The site itself is ideally positioned with plenty to see and do within a maximum 15 minute drive. We would highly recommend!

Lovely stay

Wilson, Rachel - 08/10/2025

This was our second stay at Herdwick Croft. This is an ideal base for us as we do lots of hiking. The hot tub at the end of the day was is lovely. The lodges have everything you need. Staff are very friendly and lodges are very clean. We stayed in overwater last year which o have to be honest we preferred due to the location and privacy. We felt a bit over looked this time especially in the hot tub. Also we had 3 whole days of no internet, this didn’t worry me but my husband likes to plan our hikes etc the night before. We would definitely stay again as it is a lovely place and great value for money.

Relaxing location with wonderful countryside views from the double patio doors . The double lay flat hot tub was superb , property was clean and well presented, if the kitchen had a microwave, and the bed had a bedside cabinet, I would have given it five stars instead of four , but I would certainly stay there again.

Lovely Stay

Had a lovely few days here in a hot tub lodge. We wanted to extend our stay but were told they were fully booked. Disappointing for us but good to know that even at this time of year the place is full. Would consider staying here again next time we visit Keswick as a short bus ride to the town.

Lovely Lodge - my 8th time staying at Herdwick Croft

Roberts, Kirsty - 03/10/2025

Overwater Lodge is beautifully modern. However, more attention needed to be taken to cleaning of "kitchen" surfaces. They'd clearly not been wiped properly, particularly around the coffee machine, there were bits behind it and grains of coffee. I also noticed marks on the worktops by the sink, not permanent marks, and easily gone by wiping over with a cloth, something which I did. I am a woman though! - ha! Cleaners pay attention!.I have noted reviews on Herdwick Willy's (on site bar/restaurant) on how rude staff can be. My opinion was the guy I spoke to was rather blasé. On our last day I popped in to let someone know we'd had daily issues trying to lock the door, his attitude was basically text the number in the book! Erm no, I am letting YOU know!! Note to staff on site, paying guests are coming for a holiday, meet and greet them with a warm welcome, friendliness and a smile!Herdwick Croft is in a fab location right near Bassenthwaite Lake and the grounds are well kept.

A great find

Bullock, Victoria - 02/10/2025

We had a fantastic weekend stay at Herdwick Croft in our campervan on one of the super pitches - the location was fantastic with good access to Bassenthwaite Lake and easily accessible dog walks . The site was very well maintained with a simple hassle free check in. The bar/restaurant on site is a great addition. We will definitely be back and as soon as possible!

Access to staff in reception and bar area was hit and miss.No one seemed to know the password for our lodge WiFi, but we did resolve the problem eventually.We really like the site and Ullswater Lodge was very comfortable with an efficient heating system
