  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.

  Truly amazing stay.

  Gorgeous peaceful surroundings, obviously everyone goes for the hot tub which is fed from an underground spring and heated 24 hours a day everything is perfect. You have a complimentary fire pit kit with logs for your first one, I guarantee that once you get into the hot tub with the flames dancing one fire will not be enough. I forgot about work and was so chilled after this break I was horizontal for days. The host is a lovely lady, so hard working and nothing is to much trouble. Highly recommend. The shops are a little bit of a distance as you are secluded but it's well worth it no stress. I recommend going to Glasson Dock approx 6 miles away the Dalton Arms does an amazing breakfast and pint of Guinness (we were on holiday) then if your into posh nosh from lobster to wild boar pate pop next door to the port of Lancaster Smokehouse for things to take back to the pod. We will be returning unfortunately my wife won't let me go back next week. This isn't a downside, housemartins like to nest around the outside light above the door, the owner keeps it under control but if you hang a plastic bag around the light in the day it keeps them away and saves your lovely host from scarecrow duty. Thank you.

  )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.

  We had the most amazing time at Shepherds Lodge!

  The lodge was beautiful, finished to a very high standard, literally can't fault it! We are a family of 2 adults and an infant, our little one had such a fun time running exploring each room, and using the hot tub (with the temp turned down!) the house was naturally very warm which was a nice treat in winter. Using the log fire and hot tub were the perfect way to unwind at the end of the day, it was magical, and so lovely being out in the countryside. The kitchen was well equipt and had everything in that we needed to make a gousto meal that we brought with us. (Note to future guests bring olive oil, salt/pepper, and washing up liquid & cloth so you don't have to buy any.) There is a convenience store about 5mins drive away if you forget anything though. The area is stunning, plenty to do. Food is gorgeous from the Cavendish Pub. Locals are so friendly. Would definitely return!

  The cleanliness of the property was disappointing.

  As checking in later and checking out earlier I would have expected the lodge to be spotless as extra measures for Covid-19 cleaning should have been met. The shower curtain was covered in black mould and we had to contact Sykes to have it replaced. I also lodged a complaint about some utensils being unclean and some surfaces were sticky from drinks. Also there was food splashed on the kitchen windows. When I spilled some water when washing up, I wiped it up with kitchen roll and found that the floor was dirty too. I was not contacted after the shower curtain was replaced the next day to see if I was satisfied. It is such a shame about the lack of cleanliness as the location of the lodge was perfect and it is in a very peaceful, tranquil setting.
