Another fabulous stay
This is the 3rd time we have stayed at Bram Cragg in Sosgill Lodge and it never disappoints. The location and accommodation are first class with everything you need for a home from home stay. The peace, quiet and views are wonderful although you have everything on your doorstep for a day out.

Perfect place
The lodge is in a great location and exactly as described. It’s clean and modern and perfect for exploring the Northern Lake District, especially if you’re in and out at dawn and dusk where that can be awkward in hotels or B&Bs. The views are superb and it’s a relaxing place to stay with the sights and sounds of the countryside in all directions. The WiFi is ok for light web browsing and Twitter/Facebook etc, probably best to bring a book and not hammer it though. Gill was very welcoming and helpful and her dogs were friendly too. This is definitely the nicest place I’ve stayed in the Lake District and I intend to come back.

Perfect lodge in an ideal location
Luxury lodge in a beautiful setting - stunning views of the surrounding fells from all windows! Very quiet & relaxing. A number of great walks available from the doorstep and close to Helvellyn. Logistically well placed - short distance from Keswick but also able to bi-pass Keswick when heading south to Grasmere. The owner is very friendly and helpful, providing good suggestions for walks. We loved it there & will definitely return.

Lovely cabin well set up for outdoor trip
Very well appointed cabins, with everything one might need for an outdoorsy trip - small drying area, outdoor hose, bike storage etc. The location is pretty empty of people with great views, but it's a short drive (or a slightly longer bike ride) to Keswick etc. A walk to the pub would be a pretty long one for sure though. One disappointment was cheap, bouncy, hard mattresses on the beds - didn't feel up to the general standard of the place.
