  We loved our stay at Shepherds Lodge.

  The directions to the lodge were easy to follow and we found it no prob at all. It was good to be able to go direct to the property and get the key without having a stand in a queue to check in. It would have been nice to have been able to check in a little earlier though. Inside the lodge was exactly as the photos had shown and we couldn't really want for anything more stocked in the kitchen. The living room area was clean and comfortable and bright. The only issue we had was in the bedroom, the mattress we found a little hard, in fact I ended up on the settee. The bathroom was lovely, maybe an extra toilet roll would be good as we ran out on the last day due to there not being much on the rolls but honestly that is the only thing I can say negative. The best part for us was the hot tub, we hadn't been in a hot tub prior to the lodge and weren't sure what to expect. But, the water was a lovely temperature when we got there so we unpacked and jumped straight in. We have a couple of points regarding the privacy though. The cabin attached and the two further down can see the hot tub no problem if they walked by and the cabin next door, if they didn't have their blind closed they would have been looking directly at us so a bit more screening would have been nice. We reversed the car up the drive for extra cover. The second point is maybe a covering would be good, lots of bits of tree were falling into the water so a bit of time was spent removing these not relaxing. It was a bit disappointing to have to be out at 9am. We would recommend this lodge.

  We unfortunately arrived late in the evening due to traffic.

  On our arrival, the Cabin took us some time to find (Shepherds Lodge). The Semi detached Cabin adjoined to ours (which was empty) had outside lighting on in advance, where as ours did not, so was very difficult in the dark not only to locate and find, but even to carefully maneuver without tripping over. When we turned on the outside lights, we noticed rubbish bags strewn near the Key box, which in our opinion was not good, considering we checked in at 10pm and you had the whole day to organise. The facilities inside the Cabin were good and helpful. The Jacuzzi on first use had a strange smell to it and water was only semi clear. When we went to use it the next day, the water was literally like a swamp look at 2pm. We were hoping after going out for the day on our return the cleaner would have this resolved. However, on our return at 6pm, we noticed it was far worse and had an awful pungent smell which caused us to retch. We phoned to complain and a guy came out approximately 6:30pm and finished emptying and restoring it with clean water. The job was completed by 9pm, bearing in mind this was our last night. We have video and photo footage showing the above. Not at all impressed. Steve and Jeanette.

  Lovely place however there was a couple of small changes I would make.

  The rug in the lounge was filthy and hadn’t been cleaned in some time, the washing mashing needs a good clean, the sink in the kitchen needs cleaning out as there is very bad odour coming from it when the taps are running, the baby highchair also hadn’t been cleaned and had food all over it and there is no full length mirror. The outside area is great, hot tub is good, bbq was a great addition and the furniture is perfect. The cottage is decorated to a high standard and bedrooms were very clean. I did get a text telling me the water cleaner had broken and wouldn’t be fixed until the following day and for us to boil any drinking water, this was fine and we did appreciate the message. unfortunately what let it down was we didn’t get told when the water was fixed and safe again, I did have to contact myself to ask and got told it had been fixed for some time. The management/ receptionists drive around on quad bike very fast and come around the corners very quickly where you can’t see as there are high walls. Worth knowing as there’s and accident waiting to happen, we had a couple of times where we went to come out of the gate and the quad bike came speeding round the corner nearly taking us out.

  )I don’t think it was worth the price!

  2) the bed was too soft ( But that’s just a personal preference) the big problem was how it was on wheels and on a smooth surface it just wouldn’t stay still which was quite dangerous!! EG every time you leaned on it. It would move and twice the wheel was near my bear feet!! The first time really hurt the second time I was able to move quickly. 3) For £450 for one night I really think it quite a cheek to only be able to book in at 17.00 and have to leave at 9.00 in the morning?? But that’s my own fault because it was clearly explained that was the case on booking. 4) Again to stay in a one bedroom lodge for one night at the price of £450 and only book in from 17.00 and have to leave the following morning at 9.00 you really would expect maybe a little larger Hot tub?? Or if not it must have some kind of shelter over it?? Even a large retractable umbrella or something to protect you from the sun, Wind and Rain?? But despite my own personal issues it was very nice and i would recommend this to anyone!! We had a great time! But I am very entertaining so of course we had a good time.

  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What a wonderful place and wonderful people.

  When my partner first shown me this place I nearly ruled it out due to having young children 1 and 4, I thought the out door space may have been an issue. I am so glad we decided to book as it was not an issue at all, was amazing and our children loved it, such a sense of space, playing freely on the grass, meeting the farm animals and even feeding the lambs which our daughter absolutely loved. They gave us lots of ideas for days out we could do in the area with the children which was great and we enjoyed some great family days. And when their day was done and fast asleep, we could spend our time relaxing in the hot-tub admiring the views and cozying up on the couch with a glass of wine and amazing cheese board from a shop they recommended in cartmel (so delicious). I would definitely recommend staying here the properties are immaculate, the people are lovely and the balance of time with the children and for ourselves was perfect. We will definitely be returning.
