Cottage In Beautiful Woodland Gardens
Ladywood Lodge is in a stunning position, with woodland and mountain views all around. It is very private, with easy parking on site. The Lodge is located near the main house and shares a pathway which leads to its own (separate) front door. The Lodge shares 2 acres of garden with the main house, so we ask that dogs be well-behaved when in the garden. The accommodation consists of a large studio room with newly renovated separate kitchen and ensuite shower room. Furniture is period in style, reflecting that the property dates from early 1900's. There is a small patio with table and chairs outside. Ladywood is accessed via a quiet country road so it is extremely peaceful, with no road noise. Walks from the cottage include up White Moss Common, to Rydal Caves and down to Grasmere lake and Dove Cottage. There are lovely views of Nab Scar and Silver Howe. There are two steps between the kitchen and main living room and three steps between the bedroom and the bathroom.

great location
The perfect location, away from the crowds and just a 10 minute walk into Grasmere. Walks directly from the property so we had several days without moving the car. We had the most amazing weather which made the week a great experience. If the weather had been dull, then the property would have been dark as it is surrounded by mature trees and a lovely wild garden.

out of the wild
Very quiet and private with no noise pollution. Over grown garden was amazing. Feels like your in the middle of the woods. About 12 to 15 mins walk to Grasmere. And 5 mins walk to lake
If your like walking there is a great walk via the caves to Amblside town.
Would definitely book here again.

Perfect place to escape to
Great location, good walking distance to Grasmere , but still very secluded in it’s little woodland. We had the pleasure of crisp blue skies for our stay which was perfect for walking, although a little chilly in the cottage. Easily rectified though by snuggling up by the fire 🔥 Thanks to the hosts as well for such a warm welcome

Perfect Solitude
Booked this stay a while ago for My wife and I, (and the dog).
It didn't disappoint :-)
Location was perfect, hidden in the dense woodland but yet only a short distance from civilisation (Grasmere).
A mixture of modern (Kitchen/Bathroom) and "oldy worldy" quaint in the open plan bed/sitting/dining room.
Loved every minute of it - despite the weather.
Will seriously consider coming back again.

The Beautiful Lakes
Overall we had a reasonable stay. The location was perfect. The cottage, not so. we had a couple of problems with the water and warning!!!! TAKE a TORCH T night you can't see you hands in front of you!!
We love the Lake District so we weren't disappointed in the area at all. We discovered a beautiful walk and run for the dog, just across the road. It's up for sale and if I had the money...……..
Not for us but it is fairly unique.
Thank you Ruth for your help and knowledge.

The Perfect Retreat
What a perfect place - despite the weather I had a wonderful week. The Lodge has been well planned and had everything I needed -without undermining its Edwardian origins. A perfect retreat providing peace and tranquility. Lots of great walks and the it was lovely to return to The Lodge and its 'hideaway' setting. I look forward to returning. I was made to feel so welcome.

A hidden gem
A perfect hideaway. Only just off the main road but may as well be in the middle of nowhere, it's that quiet. Perfect for exploring the walks local to Grasmere - we didn't move the car for three days. The cottage is all your need. Ruth, our host, is great and always around if needed for anything.

Lovely and peaceful !
Very nice unusual period property with everything you need. Bathroom new and good shower. Kitchen is a bit small for space for preparing food. Garden outside very lush, it is enclosed but shared with the big house next door to the property. If you have dogs they will be roaming in a garden shared by owner and visitors of owners. Owner is very nice lady.

Relaxing few days in a beautiful location
The lodge is in a wonderfully secluded location just outside grasmere, surrounded by an enclosed woodland garden. The property itself is a bit tired and could definitely do with a deeper clean and a bit of tlc- particularly the bathroom and kitchen which need a total revamp! having said that, it does grow on you after a day or two, was warm and cosy and certainly peaceful. My elderly mum found the steps down into the kitchen a bit difficult at times - a handrail would be useful (there is one down to the bathroom ). we did, however have a lovely enjoyable few days, as did my young spaniel, and would probably book again as it was a good base, the garden was just ‘us’ and the communication with host was good - Ruth even provided me with a zbed so that I didn’t have to bed share with mum! Thank you!

Lovely secluded location. If you like mod cons this isn’t for you but if you like something with history it is great. The room was very spacious, location was perfect and sitting outside the back door was wonderful - it felt like being in the forest!
