Brightwater Lodge Reviews

Maggie
Lovely lodge on beautiful Windermere. Lodge was clean and comfortable with the added bonus of the hot tub. The owner was very helpful and sent a video of how to locate the lodge in advance of our stay. The site itself was quiet although I expect it would be busier later in the year and our little dog enjoyed sniffing her way around it. A great base for exploring the Lakes. We had a lovely time.
Site and lodge was spotless. Ticked every box
