This was our second stay at Grizedale Lodge and, under the new management of Richard & Deborah, we had an even more relaxing and delightful stay.

This was our first visit here and we weren't disappointed. Richard and Deb made us feel more like friends than guests, and even Izzie our border terrier was made to feel special with her own breakfast of sausage and bacon.
