We visit each year for our mum's birthday. We just celebrated her 85th birthday May 2026. We absolutely loves this lodge and it's location. We always book it again as soon as we leave. It is beautiful. Lovely and clean, comfy beds and perfect location with lake views.The on-site facilities are great. The food is amazing and you can eat in or take-away. Beautiful walks around the grounds. Mum gets up early and feeds the ducks every morning.It is a short walk to Brockhole with a lovely lakeside path and gardens. Bowness and Grassmere are a short drive each way.Booking is so easy and correspondence is spot on, if you have any questions they answer you straight away.Best time ever for mum's birthday.

Thank you so much for your lovely review, Wendy, and for choosing to stay at Footprints by the Lake once again for your mum's birthday.We are delighted to hear that you all had another wonderful stay and that your mum enjoyed celebrating her 85th birthday in such a special place. It is always a pleasure to welcome returning guests, and we are so pleased that Footprints by the Lake has become part of your family's birthday tradition.Thank you for your kind comments about the lodge, its location, the on-site facilities and our booking service. We are especially pleased to hear that your mum enjoyed feeding the ducks each morning and making the most of the beautiful surroundings. The lodge is positioned in a fantastic location, with beautiful lake views and easy access to all that the area has to offer.We look forward to welcoming you back again next year for her 86th birthday!

The lodge is great, spacious and a great position, my only negative is that the power has been set low so it is a bit strange. My hairdryer wouldn't work but the lodge one did, the microwave takes forever, the hoover ran slow, hot tub jets weak, dishwasher intermittent. I don't know why but there must be a reason?

Thank you, Vicky for your lovely comments about the lodge and its beautiful lakeside setting, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay.Following our email discussion after your stay, we have been looking into the points you kindly raised. As the lodge operates similarly to a caravan, there can be limits on the electrical load, which may affect how multiple appliances perform at the same time. However, this is not something we would expect to noticeably impact your stay, so we are carrying out checks to ensure everything is working as it should.Thank you again for your review and we do hope to welcome you back in the future.

We had a great stay at Footprints. The lodge is in a very picturesque and peaceful setting close to the lake. It was spacious and well equipped. However, we feel that mirrors in the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms would be helpful as it was difficult for 5 adults to get ready with the only mirrors available in the main bedroom or bathroom. The beds were very comfy and overall the lodge was clean apart from the headboards which were quite dusty. The hot tub was great. The location is good being few minutes drive from Windermere and Ambleside and a short walk to Brockhole which has a jetty for the Windermere lake cruises. Would recommend.

Thank you for the review following your stay to Footprints by the Lake, Angela. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed the peaceful setting, the hot tub, and that you found the lodge spacious, well equipped, and comfortable. As the lodge is privately owned, we will pass on your suggestions about adding mirrors in the bedrooms to the owners for their consideration. We also appreciate your note about the headboards and will ensure the cleaning company are aware. Thank you for letting us know and please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused. It’s lovely to know you enjoyed the location and would recommend Footprints by the Lake, thank you again and we hope you return for another stay soon.
