  • "A very pleasant and well maintained caravan."

    An exellant location for walking and exploring the upper lake district.. Whenever we had queries about the property, the owners of the caravan were most helpful.

  • "We enjoyed a week of mixed weather with our 2 dogs."

    We loved walking the dogs around the fishing lakes close by. The owners were friendly & during the week provided potatoes, eggs & gooseberries from their farm. There is a TV but reception was limited to only the BBC channels. There were no games, jigsaws or books to enjoy on wet mornings. A small welcome pack of essentials eg. milk would have been appreciated.

  • "No internet for two of the days."

    No lamps for evening ambiance. Floors were not cleaned. No relaxing comfortable furniture on outside decking making it unpleasant to relax on the sunny days/evenings.TV small which did not provide many viewing options due to no internet. Our hosts were very nice and pleasant so please use these comments as us trying to be helpful rather than critical.

Scales Farm Lodges

Enjoying a rural surrounding, within the Lake District National Park, the collection offers couples, friends, and families the chance to tour this delightful region, offering ground-floor, pet-friendly accommodation, and access to an on-site fishing lake. Complete with off-road parking, private wrap-around verandas, and open-plan living spaces, the lodges are well-equipped for a countryside escape, whilst within driving distance to a hub of amenities and attractions.

A car journey away you will reach Go Ape Whinlatter, made for fun-filled days out of outdoor adventure, or if you’d prefer to scale the surrounding peaks, Grisedale Pike and Grasmoor are within proximity, worth packing your hiking gear for.
