Brockwood Hall Lodges
$150-$250 / nat
Bestil hvis You want a secluded, nature-immersed cabin getaway in the Lake District with your own private hot tub and roaming peacocks.
Hvorfor folk elsker det
- Private outdoor hot tubs checked daily
- Dozens of friendly peacocks roaming the grounds
- Stunning, remote views of the Whicham Valley
Hurtig oversigt: The natural setting and hot tubs are fantastic, but the lodges themselves are showing their age and desperately need some TLC.
Anmeldt af @brittanynewtonxo: My stay at Brockwood Hall was the ultimate reset. I spent my mornings sipping coffee in the hot tub, watching peacocks wander right up to my cabin. The rustic vibe and quiet woodland walks were exactly what I needed to unplug and slow down.

Reality check
The exterior of the cabins, decking, and some interiors are worn and need maintenance.
- You want a private hot tub under the stars
- You love wildlife and woodland walks
- You are bringing your dog to explore the Lake District
Renhed & Vedligeholdelse
5.5
- Housekeeping: Hit or miss. The interiors are generally clean upon arrival, but there are complaints about missed details and thin towels.
- Bathroom hygiene: Functional, but some guests report dampness and mold in the older lodges, particularly in closed spaces like wardrobes.
- Maintenance: A frequent pain point. Rotten decking fencing, peeling exterior paint, and general wear and tear are common complaints.
- Linens & towels: Beds are made up for arrival, but towels are reported to be thin—definitely bring your own for the hot tub.
- Odors & scents: Some older lodges have a noticeable damp or musty smell when closed up, likely due to the woodland setting and age.

The peacocks are a major highlight, but keep your doors closed if you don't want them wandering inside your cabin.
