Very friendly staff. Loved the welcome baking. Clean facilities and great place to stay before walking the Humpbridge Great Walk. We left our car in the carpark.

Seen southern lights, fire inside and host was very nice

Just need to know that it's isolated so bring you're food or come fed if arriving late

Hidden gem by the Hump Ridge Track.

Location was fantastic. Amazing to finish the walk and arrive for an amazing burger, lit fire and cosy beds. Such a memorable stay with amazing hosts - fresh coffee in the mornings, cinnamon buns, hot hot showers and a cosy place to rest before and after the hike. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Uns wurde jeder Wunsch erfüllt. Ein herzlichen Dank nochmal an den Lodgechef. Toll fanden wir auch, dass wir nach dem Umbridge Track direkt nochmal in der Lodge duschen dürften und uns ein Superkaffee gemacht wurde. Sandflyerspray, was an de Rezeption erhältlich war, ist sehr wirksam. Als Ausgangspunkt und für danach für den Track ein echter Tipp.....
