“Tutheren is in an ideal location for exploring the Lakes.”

The property itself was very well equipped, comfortable and with a pleasant view. Very relaxing and enjoyable holiday. Thank you.

- Richard, August 2024
Barbara July 2024

“This is our second visit to Tutheren and this cabin is very handy for the North Lakes and particularly Keswick.”

The site is very peaceful even though you are very close to A66 but cannot hear traffic. We cannot wait to return.

- Barbara, July 2024

Thank you for your kind words, they are much appreciated. We do do our best to make Tutheren homely, well equipped and comfortable - we love it, have done so for more than a dozen years! Property Owner
Sheena June 2024

“The cabin was very clean and comfortable, it has a good size decking area for sitting out side and had all the cooking equipment we needed.”

The site is clean and well kept, and a 10-15 minute walk to the centre of Keswick. It is quite close to the busy A66 road, but the traffic noise didn’t bother us much. This was our second visit to the site and will definitely be returning. A point worth mentioning is make sure you don’t leave anything behind when you leave. We left a small object , we contacted Sykes holiday cottages who we booked the lodge through, and they wanted £30 just to contact the owner.

- Sheena, June 2024

Very many thanks for your kind feedback and I am delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Tutheren and that you would consider returning. I am so sorry that you had issues getting something that you left behind returned. This is a tricky one because the Letting Agents arrange for a cleaner to come in some time during a six hour window on Saturday and I am not quite sure how anything left behind could be got back to you. What I will do is speak to the Letting Agents (who are usually very helpful) and I will leave my contact details available in the Lodge although even that may not be of much help since I live in London. I have to admit that over the years, when staying in Hotels, I have from time to time (often) left things behind. I now have a policy of my wife and I independently doing a "sweep" of the room before leaving - surprising how often toothbrushes, socks, handkerchiefs get found. Property Owner

“A very comfortable lodge with all you could need.”

The owner has clearly put a lot of effort into ensuring you have a good time. There are some areas of the lodge that are starting to need some attention - like the steps leading up to the lodge where the non slip coating is getting worn - but where items have been replaced they are replaced with high quality appliances. It was lovely and clean - although I did clean the windows looking out on the decking as there were several bird deposits but that’s just my preference. The beds and sofas were lovely and comfortable. Overall a lovely stay within very easy reach of Keswick.

- Karen, May 2024

Many thanks for the feedback about "the steps leading up to the lodge where the non slip coating is getting worn" - I have ordered four non-slip coverings for the steps and I will fit them as soon as I can. I do appreciate all feedback but particularly any suggesting things that I can change; living in London now I don't get up to Keswick anywhere as often as I used to. Thanks again for your kind words and help. Property Owner
Andy May 2024

“The accommodation its self was wonderful, no issues, lots of extras, lots of facilities, good kitchen well supplied, dishwasher.”

good media options. nice decking and good views. Close to Keswick which was a short stroll. head through the park. My only issue would be the vicinity to a major road junction meaning traffic load outside and could be heard inside without Tv/radio.

- Andy, May 2024

Thank you for your comments. We are pleased to hear that you had an enjoyable stay. We take your comments on board. The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Thanks for your kind words, I do try my best to ensure that Gursts have an exceptional stay. Sadly, traffic noise is one thing that I can't eliminate - living on a Rat Run in London I have become pretty much immune to it. The Owner. Property Owner
Andrew April 2024

“The property had everything that we needed and we could not fault it.”

It was easy to get to and convenient for Keswick. We would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable place to stay.

- Andrew, April 2024

Thank you - I do my very best to provide a comfortable base from which to visit the beautiful Lake District . Property Owner
Sue March 2024

“This is a lovely lodge - cosy, comfortable and excellent access to some of the best walks in the Lake District.”

However, there was no mention of the constant noise of traffic from the very busy A66. I should have looked at a map and worked it out. Also, no loo roll provided - unusual for a holiday cottage - so I had to go out in search on a bank holiday which was a bit inconvenient. I wouldn’t be able to recommend this cottage because of the traffic noise.

- Sue, March 2024

“Lovely comfortable pine Lodge.”

Excellent location for exploring keswick and the lakes.

Eric June 2023

“We were all so pleased with the accomodation.”

Lovely surroundings and ideal base when visiting The Lake District.

- Eric, June 2023
Susan June 2023

“Our third visit to Tutheren.”

We enjoyed feeding the birds and watching so many species from the lodge that we renamed it a self-catering bird hide! It's a well equipped, comfortable lodge in a more traditional style and we quickly got the hang of the new tv and heaters (which we only needed for about an hour once!). The beds are particularly comfortable. We like it's position - a fairly easy walk into the middle of Keswick and just a short walk to the excellent Pheasant pub for really good meals. Although near the A66, we found the traffic noise to be unobtrusive. We will return

- Susan, June 2023
Hazel March 2023

“Lovely welcoming, spotlessly clean and warm lodge.”

Everything we needed for a great stay. Plenty of walks without having to use the car at all. Great stay overall. Thank you.

- Hazel, March 2023

Hazel, I am so pleased that you had a good time in Tutheren; the weather in the Lakes is somewhat unpredictable and that can detract from a stay - you were lucky! Skiddaw next time. We do try our best and try always to listen to and act upon Guest feedback. Property Owner
Keith November 2022

“This is the best cabin we have stayed.”

A great deal of thought has gone into the equipment required. This cabin is so well equipped with everything required for a short or long break. Well done to the owners and thank you. We will be back.

- Keith, November 2022
Andrea November 2022

“Lovely, comfortable, warm and well equipped lodge.”

- Andrea, November 2022
Kevin August 2022

“We had a fantastic week at Tutheren, Burnside Park.”

It was a real home from home. A peaceful location just outside the busy centre surrounded by beautiful countryside and wildlife. We felt comfortable as soon as we arrived and the lodge had everything we needed and even a few extra homely touches to make it the perfect stay.

- Kevin, August 2022

Thank you so much for your kind words. We genuinely try to make sure that our guests enjoy every minute of their visit to what we believe to be the most beautiful place in England and that they can relax and re-energise in comfort at the end of each day. Property Owner
Ian June 2022

“We were very pleased on arrival and found everything to be in order, just like it said on the tin!”

Would definitely recommend Tutheren.

- Ian, June 2022
Mark May 2022

“Great lodge that is very comfortable, clean & very well equipped.”

A stone's throw from the nearest pub serving food & drinks & a short stroll into Keswick (about 20 minutes). Nice comfy bed with all bedding & towels provided. Outside furniture on hand to sit on the veranda & watch the birds feeding from the feeders. Even the bird seed & peanuts for the feeders were provided! Good relaxing holiday that, I'm sure, we'll book again.

- Mark, May 2022
Janet May 2022

“Very comfortable easy to live in property.”

Easy to follow instructions regarding wifi, heating, appliances etc. A very good choice of DVDs and books to pass away any rainy days (which we didn't have for a change).

- Janet, May 2022
Malcolm April 2022

“Tutheren was wonderful accommodation.”

Clean, comfortable, spacious and well equipped with everything we needed. The location was perfect, tucked away but just a short and pleasant walk by the river to the town. Incredible views from the lodge, a lovely sunny decking area with sheep, lambs, pheasants and birds for company. The site is secure and well maintained. Many places we stay, we always say ‘it would be perfect if…’ at Tutheren we didn’t as was perfect as it was. When we return to Keswick we will book Tutheren.

- Malcolm, April 2022

Thank you for your kind words. We do try hard to make a stay at Tutheren relaxing, enjoyable and a credit to the wonderful Lake District. Any feedback is important to help us achieve that objective. Property Owner
Nicola October 2021

“Tutheren is a great place to stay, ideally located for Keswick Town and walks in the area.”

The USB ports were useful and great to have the hairdryer and mirrors close to the plugsockets. All in all the lodge is well equipped. We would stay here again.

- Nicola, October 2021
Michelle August 2021

“Tutheren is a brilliant place to unwind.”

The lodge is in a stunning aspect, just 10min walk from Keswick. Our second visit and hopefully not our last.

- Michelle, August 2021
Angela July 2021

“The lodge is in a really good situation.”

About 10 minutes walk from Keswick and all the attractions including Derwent Water.All the Lakes are beautiful ad easy to reach from the lodge which is in a very peaceful location. The Lodge has everything you would need including a washer dryer and dishwasher.It has spectacular views of the mountains from the veranda too.

- Angela, July 2021

Very nice location and cabin but with the exception of not being told there was no WiFi 2 days before we left to start how holiday was a bit of a let down by the owner as we needed WiFi for job commitments while on holiday

- Sharon, June 2021
Raymond May 2021

“Great holiday lodge in beautiful setting on a lovely site (all as advertised).”

Clean, comfortable with a well equipped kitchen. Very comfortable bed and good shower. Handy for Keswick, a decent Pub and all our favourite walks and the other Lakes Only used the car once in 7 days Having no WiFi may be an issue for some (and limited TV channels), but this is escapism

- Raymond, May 2021
Christine October 2020

“Overall a comfortable lodge.”

Difficult to have to set all the timers on the electrical appliances before using as all electricity was turned off and lodge only 15 degrees on arrival. A simple guide would be better than the original booklets that came with cooker, microwave, heaters etc. Settees not the most supportive to sit on. Beds very comfortable but pillows too thick. Would have liked an Option of thinner pillows, had to use the ones of settee to sleep on. Guide for water heater needs updating on folder. The washer dryer was a bonus as the write up only said there was a washer. Otherwise a great location and setting. Easy to walk to Keswick town centre.

- Christine, October 2020
Susan September 2020

“Tutheren is a particularly well equipped lodge with very comfortable beds.”

Burnside park is a well maintained, quiet site in a very convenient position. Although there is some traffic noise from the A66, it's far enough away to not worry us. We felt safe and found the covid compliance to be sensible without going over the top.

- Susan, September 2020
Stuart October 2019

“Such a peaceful area with everything we needed.”

No issues whatsoever and the pictures don't do it justice! Will be coming back.

- Stuart, October 2019
Valerie October 2019

“Tutheren was warm, comfortable and extremely well equipped.”

The situation was splendid, being secluded and quiet but only a short distance from town - if I were younger and fitter I would have walked it! We did enjoy watching the birds from the lovely deck, especially the pheasants looking to be fed. The lodge was splendidly equipped with games, books and DVDs. Enough for a wet fortnight! in fact, everything had been thought of. Keswick is a friendly small town in a fabulous setting, with a very good open-air market twice a week. Derwentwater is very beautiful, with lots of easy walks. And the Lakeside Theatre is an added bonus. We went to one performance there(very good) and twice had a meal in their lovely restaurant overlooking the water. In fact, we enjoyed everything so much that we are already planning another visit next year. Must also say that the girls in the office were extremely helpful and friendly. The only thing that wasn't playing ball was the weather, but even that was better than forecast and there is plenty to do in Keswick, rain or shine. So thank you for a lovely Autumn break!

- Valerie, October 2019
Susan September 2019

“An extremely well equipped lodge with unexpected extras such as walking poles and bird food to top up the feeders.”

DVDs books and games for both adults and children were in good supply. Very comfortable beds. Well placed for going into Keswick and exploring the Lake District and an excellent child friendly pub with good food within easy walk. We've booked for next year already!

- Susan, September 2019
Stephen September 2019

“A lovely cabin, with great amenities, in a stunning location.”

My only negative was the lack of recycling facilities on the site. We ended up bringing a black bin bags worth of dry recyclables back home to Suffolk.

- Stephen, September 2019
David August 2019

“A lovely base for our holiday.”

A clean well appointed property and perfectly placed for exploring and enjoying the lakes. A very nice little park at the foot of Skiddaw and recommend for couples and families alike.

- Michelle, July 2019
Simon July 2019

“Tutheren was an amazing property to stay in, every little detail had been thought of, and some that were outstandingly unexpected.”

Perfect holiday in a perfect property, thank you for making it a wonderful weeks stay

- Simon, July 2019
Kiri June 2019

“The pictures do not do this little lodge justice!”

It was a lovely stay and there were lots of little extras to make our stay lovely. We only had a couple of tiny niggles, one is there wasn't a heatproof mat to put the hot pans onto and the second is that a flat sheet would be beneficial in the master bedroom as the memory foam mattress was very hot to sleep on.

- Kiri, June 2019
Andrew May 2019

“Excellent property ,everything included for a self catering holiday, great location , peaceful , enjoyed the view and feeding various birds that visited .”

Keswick is lovely town and a short walk away, but would use the car for carrying the essential supplies beer ,wine ,milk and food and only a short drive to the local co-op .Had great weather ,no rain ,so a bonus visit .Would recommend.

- Andrew, May 2019
Carole May 2019

“In the main we enjoyed our stay at Tutheren.”

We were also so lucky to have sunshine every day even with a cool breeze. It is in a great location despite the traffic noise from the busy A66. We found the main living area to be spacious and comfortable although personally we are not keen on leather seating as it feels chilly - but that is a very personal choice and I took a throw to cover the couches. The TV worked fine. The kitchen eating area was perfectly adequate as we only made breakfast each day (cereal or toast). I left the kitchen sink cleaner than I found it. The general cleanliness was adequate but there were cobwebs and the cabin window sills and openers were not clean. The veranda was not too clean or the furniture, so perhaps nobody had stayed the previous week? On arrival it all felt rather chilly but we got the heating going and it soon felt warm and comfortable. We found the bedrooms to be a squash to be honest and it was hard to find a mirror to actually see yourself clearly as the pine walls and ceilings together with the poor lighting gave the place a bit of a gloomy feeling, which also made it difficult to read anywhere. I was expecting hotel quality bedding for the price we had paid but it was not. You have to keep the blinds closed either side as the neighbours cabins were very close by and therefore you could see into each others cabins. That was not a big issue for us but again it kept the light out. The bathroom was small but the shower was good. We are older so would have appreciated a rail of some sort within the shower cubicle. We appreciated the bird food tubs on the veranda and enjoyed feeding the birds each day and watching their antics closely whilst having breakfast. We thought the key collection worked very well. A lot of the above comments have been raised in previous reviews. Tips: We enjoyed the food especially at the George Hotel though the portions were enormous and they catered well for gluten free customers. If you go into Keswick to eat in the evening around 6.30pm - 7pm you can park on the opposite side to the key collection office on Station Street for free, without paying heavy car park fees. We found it probably best to book your evening meal in advance as we did have a struggle to get in anywhere one evening, so pre plan is our advice. Keswick as always is lovely and we can also recommend a drive to Pooley Bridge (car park £8), sail on Ullswater to Glenridding, and go for a light lunch in the fantastic surroundings of the Inn on The Lake, then sail back again. Lovely! All in all we enjoyed our Keswick holiday.

“Burnside Park is lovely and quiet and in a very good position for going into Keswick and further afoot.”

Tutheren was perfect - very comfortable and cosy. My only comment is about the listing - it may be helpful to mention that there is no Wi-Fi (not a big deal !!) and that there is a dishwasher. Otherwise, we hope to be back. Thank you.

- Malcolm, October 2018
Maria September 2018

“The lodge cabin was impecable when arrived and everything we needed was there.”

Little and not so little items as extra blankets, duvets, pillows, all kitchen utensils and plenty of crockery and cutlery. All electrical appliances were in perfect order and very pleased with the double bed mattress (tempur) many thanks for that too. There were many films and games to use which we didn’t have time to try just a couple. A perfect location for climbing skiddo and to Keswick just a short walk. Thanks for making the lodge such a great holiday place.

- Maria, September 2018

“The chalet was beautiful, the perfect base for a walking holiday.”

Everything you could possibly need was provided, fantastic attention to detail. I’ve come home feeling fully recharged after a wonderful, relaxing yet very active week. Outstanding
