Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Puddle Duck Lodge (Adults Only) from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise Puddle Duck Lodge's prime location, just a short walk from Bowness, yet situated on a quiet street. The spacious and beautifully decorated rooms, such as the Boat House suite, often feature thoughtful touches like DVD players, and some offer four-poster beds for added comfort. The unique breakfast hamper, delivered directly to the room, with its fresh items and homemade preserves, is a recurring highlight; while a few guests found the beds less comfortable, many appreciate the overall experience and garden views. Parking is also considered great, with many shops and bars conveniently located nearby.
