It’s always a pleasure to be recommended after diners report their experiences to property owners. With many holiday homes in rural areas being a long way from restaurants, I’m often very kindly put forward as a trusted and proven option when people book their accommodation.

Here’s what @elm.lodge in Ravenstonedale recently had to say for the 2025 season, based on feedback from their guests:
