“Beautiful place to stay the views from the property were excellent throughly enjoyed our break”

“We have just returned from a lovely weeks holiday at Rampsbeck Lodge.”

Having just read a complaint about the property before setting off on our holiday, we did feel a bit apprehensive about what to expect. However, we were pleasantly surprised by the accommodation. We always read the description and view the photographs of the property before booking a vacation so we were aware that the decor and furnishings weren't contemporary and that the bath was in the bedroom. However, the lodge was comfortable and cosy and well kitted out. The selling point of this property is undoubtedly the view over the lake: it was superb just being able to sit in the apartment and take in the beauty of the surroundings. The gardens are also magnificent and the dogs loved running around down to the lake and picking up pine cones. The owner, Patricia, is a lovely person and very helpful. There are lots of footpaths in the area and the local villages and towns are dog friendly.

“Please see below more information regarding our complaint about Rampsbeck Lodge.”

reference 183263 Arrival 11 Sept 1. Lock on only door to property broken, unable to secure door. Owners son came to fix it. 2 Sat 12 Sept Clothes in wardrobe damp. Decided to give the benefit of the doubt. Got showered. Not a proper en suite, bath and shower in corner of windowless bedroom which I believe is illegal. Used extractor fan but steam obviously still got into bedroom. 3. Sunday 13 Sept. Clothes most certainly damp when we got out of bed. Had to bring everything out of bedroom into living room, including bedding. Texted owner to inform her, she advised she had a dehumidifier she would set up for us as we were out for the day. Owner also handled all our clothes and hung them in boiler cupboard. She advised us to leave dehumidifier on all night and to open bedroom doors, which we had done anyway. Owner visited us when we arrived back.asked us if we had any ideas how to make things better as she did not know what else to do. I asked if she had had complaints before, she did not answer. Phoned Sykes to inform them there was an issue. Could not sleep due to noise if dehumidifier. Emptied 2.5 pints from it at bedtime, it had been on approx 11hours. As I am asthmatic and my symptoms were increasing we felt we had no choice but to leave the property the next day, luckily we secured probably the only hotel room left in the area at a considerable extra cost. 3 Monday 14 Sept. Packed up and left the property. Texted owner to inform her and rang Sykes to inform yourselves. General observations. 1. Dirty glassware left by previous occupants. 2. Not covid secure. The owner had left half used toiletries in bathroom. Books had simply been moved inside one of the wardrobes, not removed. I work for the NHS and you will appreciate I was desperate for a good break. I cannot allow my health to be compromised as I am needed in my employment. I am extremely surprised that you allow this property to continue in your portfolio. There have clearly been negative reviews about the damp on other internet sites and I am curious as to whether other occupants have raised this matter. I would appreciate a full investigation into this matter and appropriate recompense arranged.

“Lovely break”

A long deserved break and we found this lovely place. A apartment next to owners. Parking and lovely gardens and near to lake. A dog friendly place in apartment. Just not allowed on sofa. We found that was fine. The dog chucky loved the place and huge area private to run around. Even able to get near the lake water. Beautiful view of lake avery nice place. The apartment on 1 level, open style kitchen large living area with huge sofa. Basics provided in kitchen including microwave, full oven and hob and fridge . Tv and hoover. So everything there needed. Lodge near to a restaurant easy to walk to. Overall a lovely experience and Patricia was a lovely person who helped well with any queries. I would love to go back one day. All around the area dog friendly and alot of places to visit. The only unusual thing was bath area part of bedroom. But was lovely all in pink.

The property

This inviting lodge is set in an unbeatable location on the shores of Lake Ullswater within the little village of Watermillock.

Offering a fabulous accommodation for couples, Rampsbeck Lodge is well-placed for those looking to escape the hustle-and-bustle of their normal routines and relax amongst the beauty of the Lake District.

Look forward to unwinding in the open-plan living room, comprised of a snug sitting area with a corner sofa and a flatscreen TV and DVD for entertainment, as well as a delightful kitchen where you can prepare your meals.

Dine alfresco from the patio area, situated at the top of the garden and providing spectacular views over Ullswater and stunning mountains.

As your evening draws to a close, retire to the bedroom, featuring a double bed and enclosed bath and shower.

There is also a separate cloakroom with basin and WC.

Stroll along the shoreline of Ullswater to reach the popular village of Pooley Bridge where you can browse in a selection of independent shops and stop and unwind in one of the quaint tea rooms.

Just a short walk away lies an 18th century pub which serves local food and a selection of ales, should you fancy a drink or two.

Further afield, visit the historic market town of Penrith and benefit from the amenities on offer, including an indoor heated swimming pool, golf course and driving range.

A lovely base for you and your loved one.

About the location

WATERMILLOCK

Pooley Bridge 2.5 miles; Glenridding 6.2 miles; Penrith 8.5 miles.

The elevated scattered village of Watermillock runs parallel to the main road alongside Ullswater Lake and is mainly a farming community. Just 2.5 miles away is Pooley Bridge with its array of amenities which sits on the northern shore of the lake in the Lake District National Park. The name Pooley originated due to the forming of a large pool, which was left by the fast flowing River Eamont. Pooley Bridge has many traditional inns and tempting tea rooms, plus the Ullswater Steamers depart from the village, from where a tranquil cruise down the lake to the villages of Glenridding and Howtown can be enjoyed. Glenridding (meaning glen overgrown with bracken) is a small tourist village with a range of local shops, cafes and restaurants. There are numerous walks with breathtaking views nearby, plus a short walk up to Dunmallard Hill reveals fascinating Iron-Age remains, whilst the towns of Penrith and Keswick are within driving distance. Watermillock is an ideal base for a cottage holiday stay in the stunning Lake District.
