  I booked this lodge to celebrate our anniversary.

  On arrival we were very impressed with the overall space and location of the lodge. However my partner went to have a bath and the water was tepid and not hot enough to make a bath. I booked here knowing it had a bath as my partner struggles to regulate her temperature especially once she has got cold. After a day hiking needed a bath to heat her up hence why I booked a property with a bath it was luke warm at best even though the shower and water coming from the sinks was hot. We called the plumber but he said he was unable to do anything this is false advertising and I'm extremely disappointed in this. The lodge was very dirty and the floors have not been mopped. The lodge itself is well located and quiet. The hot tub is a nice addition to the property. The outside decking area is lovely but cushions would be a welcome addition yo the outside furniture this area including table and decking was also very dirty considering check out is so early I would expect much higher cleaning standards. With it being our anniversary we were celebrating with a bottle of champagne there were no champagne flutes and only one wine glass very poor considering this is a place recommended for couples. We enjoyed our stay but its a shame these things have left us feeling frustrated especially considering the price we paid. A hair dryer would also be a good addition to the property..

  We had a lovely time at Cartmel lodge.

  The lodge is situated beautifully, surrounded by trees and bushes. It's so quiet and you can enjoy watching the squirrels jumping between trees whilst relaxing in the hot tub. Inside the lodge is big and open and feels very homely, the kitchen has all the utensils you need and a great big fridge freezer too. The central heating is great also and warns the place up in no time! Ensuite shower was brilliant although the bath in the family room is quite small. I marked the lodge down on a few things. When arriving after a long drive and as it was cold we would have liked to use the log burner straight away but we couldn't as there were no logs left for us. There was no information as to where you get the logs so we had to travel out to find some from a supermarket. I thought this was a little poor. Also as we visited during autum the wooden steps and decking area was extremely slippy l and led to a family member slipping down the entrance steps and hurting themselves, luckily nothing too serious but when I messaged the owner I had no reply. The steps could do with some anti slip strips placing on them. The same goes for the decking to the rear, I slipped and one of the decking planks shifted next to the hot tub causing me to land on my knees. Again could be easily rectified. All in all a great week away and we would be happy to return.

  We arrived at the cottage and it was really clean which put us at ease given the current pandemic.

  Although we weren’t provided with any soap to wash our hands with or any toilet roll so first thing was to go to the shop to buy some for the week, very disappointed as something so simple should’ve been provided. We also were not given any matches to light the fire with so we ended up just using the heating, luckily during our stay it wasn’t too cold so it didn’t bother us! There wasn’t adequate hot water to run a bath or have a proper shower - I would say lukewarm water, if it wasn’t for the hot tub it wouldn’t have been great after a long day of walking! We tried to ring skyes everyday but couldn’t get through to anyone to try and fix these issues which was very disappointing! Given the changes to our arrival and departure times we would’ve appreciated something such as a bottle of wine or chocolate/coffee etc just to make up for the last minute changes, other places we’ve stayed have provided these and it’s a very nice touch! I would come and visit again if these issues were amended but a note to self to bring toilet roll.

  Really lovely lodge, situated in a beautiful location.

  The property was clean and laid out well in general. Just a few things that could be addressed…The kettle was full of thick gooey limescale so we used a pan to boil our water. The cooker hadn’t been cleaned properly and there were some dirty glasses and pots in the cupboard. We do understand that cleaners are paid for these things so don’t hold this against the owners, but may be worth monitoring. A welcome pack would have been nice considering the cost of the lodge (we paid £1,200 for 1 week) I had wanted to vacuum and mop whilst there, however the Hoover pipe had a tear in it and the mop head was black. As stated before, the property really is lovely and comfortable, just a little tired and could benefit from a fresh lick of paint and a few new appliances to reflect the cost of the stay here, as do feel it was overpriced for what we got, had we paid a few hundred less this is what we would expect. All in all we did enjoyed our holiday.

  Lodge was in a lovely quiet spot and close to the beautiful village of Cartmel .

  It was one of the best equipped lodges we have stayed in .The kitchen had everything you needed (even plastic wine glasses to use outside! ) The living room was homely and the sofa was comfortable.The wood burner was fantastic . It was even set up ready just to light for the evening and there was ample kindling and logs . The only issue was with the oven . it look 45 mins to warm up and cooked very slowly even on the highest heat (The fan inside looked like it wasn’t working and we left a note to inform the owners when we left) The lodge was back to back with another lodge and you could hear some noise as people were shutting doors , their washing machine spinning etc but not enough to put us off staying again . The bed and pillows were super comfy and we slept well . The only thing that was missing was a hair dryer ( or a mention in the listing that one wasn’t supplied ) Thank you for relaxing stay !
