“Located close to Keswick without being in the middle of town.”
A 15 -20 minute footpath walk in to town. However, when walking back at night, there is very little street lighting and non-existent at the roundabout on the A66. Advise to take a torch. There was some road noise, but it didn’t really spoil our stay, as we were out most of the time. If you wanted to sit out on a warm evening it might not be as peaceful as you would like.
Property very well equipped.
A cosy property and just right for the pair of us and two large dogs.
Only downside for us was if the dogs needed to relieve themselves (even at 3am), it meant getting dressed, grabbing the torch and taking them up the lane, as there was no secure garden. When they did come back wet and muddy, we had the Mud Daddy with us and could hose them down outside before putting their drying towels on and giving them a good towel down on the decking, which was gated.

We do put torches in the lodge; however, these prove to be very popular with guests, and don't always remain at the end of each stay.
The area is quite dark around the cabin, as it is out of town.
As you say the decking has a gate which provides a secure area. The grounds are communal, but dogs can be walked round them, and many do their business happily within the grounds, but will need supervising.
The lodge park is conveniently situated just off the A66, so yes there is some road noise at times.
