The hype
A peaceful woodland retreat with great hot tubs and lovely scenery, but the cabins are a bit dated.
Brockwood Hall Lodges
$150-$250 / yö
Varaa tämä, jos You want a secluded, nature-immersed cabin getaway in the Lake District with your own private hot tub and roaming peacocks.
Miksi ihmiset rakastuvat sitä
- Private outdoor hot tubs checked daily
- Dozens of friendly peacocks roaming the grounds
- Stunning, remote views of the Whicham Valley
Pikakatsaus: The natural setting and hot tubs are fantastic, but the lodges themselves are showing their age and desperately need some TLC.
Arvioinut @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.

Siisteys ja kunnossapito
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.

Sisäpiirin vinkit

Bring your own extra towels for the hot tub, as you only get one set and they are quite thin.
- ✨
The peacocks are a major highlight, but keep your doors closed if you don't want them wandering inside your cabin.
- ✨
Stock up on groceries before arriving; it's a rural location and the on-site restaurant has limited hours.
