  Oak Lodge was absolutely beautiful!

  Aesthetically it was modern and cosy, with Steve even putting up Christmas decorations for us prior to arrival. The lodge was fully equipped with everything we needed (kitchen utensils, plates, pans etc), even down to dishwasher tablets and fairy liquid demonstrating they had thought ahead. There was even a bottle of wine and a list of 'Ulverston Eats' waiting for us on arrival if we wanted to order food on our first night. Just what we needed after a 7 hour drive! They honestly went above and beyond to think of us. The hot tub is huge clean, and was clean and ready for use (in terms of the water being heated up) by the second day, as Steve will change the water and put in all the cleaning products prior to new guests arriving. The lodges are all situated within reasonable distance of each other however in a fashion that you still have lots of privacy, even when in the hot tub. The lodges are high up in the Cumbria countryside with stunning views from the cabin or in the hot tub, but you're also only a 5 minute drive to the nearest supermarkets. Steve also owns 2 very friendly cats, one of whom made herself cosy with us in the evenings and who we are missing very much! For us, this was the perfect restful and festive getaway we needed after a difficult 2020. No complaints at all and we would love to return! I've already recommended to many friends! Thank you for ending our 2020 on a positive note!

  We stayed in the Granary apartment which is ground level.

  The apartment is kitted out to a high spec, 3 smart TVs, comfy beds, dishwasher and a lovely rainfall shower. The property owner is just next door and was really friendly, she gave us food to feed the animals in the small holding. On arrival to the property we were overwhelmed by a strong damp smell which increased in both bedrooms. We tried to air the property out by opening all windows (windows are small and very high up). Opening windows did not help the smell and on closer inspection we noticed areas where paint has peeled off the walls in bedroom and has been painted over again - wallpaper is also starting to peel and there is black mould in the corners - therefore, I believe this property has a damp issue which needs sorting. The damp did cause us to have allergies (itchy skin etc) so we had to take anti histamines during our stay. The advertisement doesn't make it clear that there is no view from the property as the small windows are so high up - this felt a little claustrophobic when we spent time in the let. There is also alot of noise from the upstairs apartment - this didn't particularly bother us, however, if you are looking for a very relaxing retreat this would not be the holiday let for you.

  Really disappointed with our stay at the Granary.

  Where to even start, when we arrived we were met with the strongest smell of damp and mould. To a point the smell saturated our clothes upon arrival home. The damp was much more present in the room our child was staying in which is not great. There are also no windows within reach of the living space to get rid of some of this smell. The noise from upstairs was unbelievable, I think they may rent the upper level out to permanent occupiers but essentially there is no insulation between the two floors. Meaning you hear every footstep, every movement etc. On New Years ever the noise was so bad I counted at least ten times the tenants walked from the bedroom to the kitchen. We also had to wake up at 6am both mornings as this was when they would wake and the noise was unbearable. The owners clearly know this is a problem due to the other reviews but don’t seem to be doing anything to address this. I think Skye cottages should also take some accountability for hosting this property knowing the issues. We didn’t have the break we were anticipating over New Year’s Eve due to the issues above. Avoid booking at all costs.

  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

  This property is in a beautiful peaceful location, it is well equipped and nicely furnished with everything you need.

  Ulverston is not far away by car. It is all clean with nice fluffy towels and clean bedding, the only thing i would say is more attention needs paying to cobwebs, around the double bed base and around skirtings in bathroom/bedrooms. The worst thing about this property is that the noise is so loud from the property above it spoils it, you can hear everything! its like a herd of elephants walking back and forth, i thought we were lucky to start with as the family above went to bed at a similar time and woke at a a similar time to us until the last night! not sure what went on as we thought they had gone home early but then at 3am in the night someone came back walking back and forth opening drawers/wardrobes banging around, (assume packing things) we barely had any sleep. I feel sorry for the owners as it is such a lovely property but we couldn't stay at this property again due it being so noisy from property above.
