The Little Man Reviews

Kirsty
Wow , loved it, everything and more. Attention to detail
S
A wonderful break. The pod has amazing views. Spotlessly clean and perfectly sized for a couple plus a dog. Kitchen well equipped with a good sized fridge, microwave, kettle and gas hob. The welcome snack basket and the complimentary toiletries were a nice surprise. The hot tub was perfectly situated for privacy and the views. Would definitely recommend.
Emily
We had such a lovely stay, the little hamper was a really nice gesture. The property was lovely and clean and we would definitely stay again. Thank you!
Kath
Immaculately clean . Nice gesture of the welcome pack.Best chocolate brownie we have ever tasted. Everything needed for a comfortable stay including a powerful shower and hot tub after a lovely walk . Very peaceful stay just what was needed.
Lloyd
Very comfortable accommodation, has all the basics that you need for a few days. Bed was very comfortable. View from the hot tub is absolutely stunning, this one is definitely the best view on the complex. Location is excellent, 10 minute drive to Keswick and Derwent, 20 minute drive the other way to Ullswater. Would recommend the Horse & Farrier for dinner which is just across the road. Excellent food and very welcoming to dogs! Overall would definitely recommend staying here!
Lucy
A really lovely cabin, ideal for a weekend away. It was clean, well equipped and beautifully furnished. The hot tub was great and very secluded. The bathroom was clean and the shower was hot with good pressure. We had a lovely couple of nights here and I would really recommend it.
Callum
From booking the property to leaving everything about it was perfect , we will definitely be returning! The photos of the lodge doesn't do it justice it was so much better in real life. Thanks for the stay!
Emma
Had a fabulous stay at the little man pod, there were scones and brownies waiting for us on arrival along with milk in the fridge. The views from the hot tub were amazing, the pictures on the website dont do it justice! The pod was so clean and cosy, although if you are tall the length of the bed would be quite small for you, but thats the only criticism of the place.
