Booked Merewood Lodge to attend a family wedding at the Merewood Country Park Hotel . The accommodation was perfect for our family group . It was lovely and clean . The hosts had thought about everything . Clear Information book , including how to operate equipment within the Lodge and things to do nearby . We particularly appreciated the little extras like family games, dvd’s etc although we didn’t get time to play them . The accommodation is very well equipped and in a beautiful setting .

    We just enjoyed a wonderful stay in Ambleside at the superb Swiss Villas. It was just like a home from home. Very clean, comfortable and extremely well equipped for everything we needed to spend the week exploring the area. Key collection and parking was easy (just use the disc in the house). Info folder in the house was very useful. We did a lot of cooking so very pleased that the kitchen was so well stocked with the basics, unlike previous holiday homes we have been too. All in all a fantastic stay. Would absolutely recommend this property.
