• "Our stay at Douglas Cabin was perfect quality family time."

  Beautiful picturesque surroundings, especially as Easter time with all the lambs playing & leaping! Sitting in the hot tub with views of the lake, listening to the farm animals & geese was so lovely. Having the log burner on inside the cabin whilst cooking a roast dinner was warm & homely too. Loved our relaxing comforting stay, will definitely be returning! The Cabin is well maintained & spotlessly clean, anything missing or needed is sorted very quickly, & Laura is so lovely, friendly & helpful, Thank you x x

• "Beautiful location on the farm/fishing lake, cabin cute as a button!"

  No complaints as such, although did find comfortable furniture was limited given the amount of people that can occupy this accommodation. Kitchen equipment was also quite basic, no toaster or corkscrew! Directions down to the lodge a little sparse and needed to ask some ramblers where to go, otherwise a fabulous little spot for r&r. We had a little difficulty unlocking the door to get in but within minutes the owner came to assist and by that point we were in! Otherwise decking and hot tub would be perfect in summer, for Springtime we particularly enjoyed the sheep and baby lambs visiting right outside our door. Thoroughly enjoyed this quaint area and great for walking, not much else in the local village and if you want to walk to the nearest pub beware there are no footpaths! Would still recommend this lovely place.

• "Absolutely idyllic."

  Couldn't have asked for a more chilled weekend away with family. In the 4 days we were there we see almost 4 seasons with snow on the second day and brilliant sunshine on the 3rd. The location is perfect with a shop up the road and a delicious pub. Perfect for walking. The driveway is a little bumpy down to the lodge but our normal car handled it fine in the wet. The sheep and geese were highly entertaining. There is no phone signal in the lodge but there is WIFI. Perfect to get away from it all, I think our only recommendation would be an additional chair or sofa in the living area, there were 4 adults in our party and only 3 spots so one was always on a dining chair. Thank you so much for a brilliant weekend, we loved it!

• "Oh what a lovely short break we had ."

  I can’t find anything to complain about only would have loved a heads up when the sheep dog got the sheep into bed at night. We watched the dog round them up on our last night and it was really humbling. Such a lovely farm and the surroundings were beautiful . I would definitely recommend Douglas cabin and we definitely will return in the warmer months when we can enjoy the outdoors a little more . The actual cabin its self was lovely and warm with the radiators on low we didn’t need the log burner on at all, we were lovely and cosy. Thanks for sharing your lovely farm with us

• "There are a couple of areas small dogs could easily get out which could be simply rectified with some more of the wire fencing on the gates."

  This would have made life easier as the dogs obviously want to chase the sheep! Other than that we had a great stay and would definitely come back, thank you

  Facilities are excellent in the beautiful setting on the farm by the lake amongst all the farmyard animals!

Highly recommended!

• "A beautiful lodge for the summer months."

  The outside area was fabulous in the sunny week we had although the first day we had rain which made the deck very slippery. The cabin could have done with some way to hang clothes. A pole across the corner of the bedrooms would have been handy and wouldn't take up much space. Copious amounts of hot water, we never ran out. Sitting outside in the evening watching the geese and their goslings on the lake was a delight. There is internet but no phone signal so internet calls only if needed. TV reception was more miss than hit although we did manage to connect the TV to a phone to get Disney+. Really only managed BBC on TV alone. A lovely stay in a beautiful location.

• "Just come back from Douglas cabin beautiful views of the lake & the working farm."

  The cabin was well equipped which was a bonus other than a few areas. The hot tub was great & a large decking area with barbecue. The cabin itself was alot smaller than on the picture, especially the living/kitchen area. We had a party of 7 as we all went there for my moms birthday but felt we were all on top of each other, think it's only big enough for 4 or 5 maximum. Disappointed with the seating, only a sofabed & one armchair which sits 3 or 4 at a push! The rest of our family had to sit on chairs or stools which were uncomfortable. Also the beds were not very comfortable & not alot of hooks to hang clothes being as there are no wardrobes, maybe quite a few hooks on the walls in each room would of helped so the 2 who were on sofa bed could of hung their clothes up. Living out of cases isn't ideal when you've gone for relaxing weekend. Would like to point out about no toaster in the kitchen which is normally standard. It was very awkward with the oven down in the small kitchen area to cater for 7 at breakfast. The toilet seat seemed to small for the toilet also. The situation of being dog friendly ideally needs to be enclosed & the grids by car parking are dangerous as both our dogs got their legs caught in there so this needs to be highlighted. The next day we had to carry the dogs over them each time. So sorry to seem a bit negative but I need to point these out & it's a Shame as the cabin settings are beautiful with the decking area & seating which was ample better than inside which we needed as the weather wasn't kind to us & we didn't get to appreciate the decking area. After saying this we made the most of the weekend & enjoyed it & mom loved the scenery & how peaceful it was. Would love to go back if seating was better & a smaller crowd.

  Only things I’d like to give feedback on are we booked a week stay, there was not enough washing up liquid, tea bags or sugar. Would be nice if these are replenished especially before a long stay, the main bedroom bed is also uncomfortable and quite old. These things didn’t detract from a lovely stay and we will be back!

• "Really brilliant cottage, far away from neighbours and able to locate fairly easily with only one of our party getting lost!"

  Hot tub 10/10. We will definitely return! It may be worth putting the post code into the sat nav as it takes you direct but the road name does not on some sat-navs. Lovely facilities, took us a while to get the oven working but otherwise happy with everything. The log burner was great, though we might suggest making it clearer where the vents are that need to be opened whilst the log burner is on! Last bit of feedback was just that the mattresses were slightly old and springs uncomfortable for most! A mattress topper for the sofa bed would have also helped with that comfort there. Sadly you can't swim in the lake but a really nice setting to be in. 20min walk from a nice village pub!

• "The Cabin was lovely!"

  Such a lovely setting and the cabin so cosy and homely. The log burner was so cosy and was nice to jump in the hot tub with a beautiful view. The beds were super comfy too. Was great to have the small bits included like washing up liquid, toilet roll, teas and coffees ect. Folding table was a great idea too as we used it up for games and breakfast and then put it back down in the day. Also used the sofa bed which was a good addition as at one point we had 6 people and only bed space for 5. My only criticism is that the house says it sleeps 7 but there are only sofa space for 3 people the rest have to sit on chairs or stalls which is fine around the day or if you are playing board games at night but if you were a movie watching family could be a bit uncomfortable. I think there is space to replace the sofa chair with a 3 seater sofa. However, I do not think this would stop me recommending the cabin! Also just a small note, I would have paid extra to have maybe a few Christmas decorations around due to how close the stay was to Christmas. Or even a small tree with minimal decs? All in all a lovely family stay for my birthday! A good find and glad we stayed at Douglas Cabin!

• "Absolute amazing as always."

  Came for a lads holiday to catch up and it was bliss. Two of our group came previously and Rob & Andy did not disappoint! The log cabin was spotless when we arrived, with firewood provided to stave off the winter winds. Hot tub was great, with several dips per day, it was easily the favorite for the group. Literally the only pet peeve was that there was no toaster, but this didn’t subtract from a perfect stay. Definitely planning to make this an annual visit!!!

• "Everything was lovely but just a few point as below 1 beds were uncomfortable mattress sinks in too much."

  2 the temperature on the hot tub wouldn't go any higher than 37 and didn't feel it was that hot being in there after half an hour. 3. We mentioned to the lady about the door handle we couldn't lock so we had to use the door through kitchen. 4 You advertise as a 7 people but not enough seating for 7 or sleeping. I believe the sofa bed probably transfers as a bed? quite uncomfortable sitting on the dining chairs through the night. Luckily two members of the party couldn't make the short break. 5. No toaster I feel this is an essential kitchen accessory. But overall we had a lovely break, great views and weather turned out exceptionally well than expected. Great parking outside the log cabin too.

  Great location. Really peaceful and quiet. Not overloaded with other lodges. So very private. The cabins are very beautiful and exactly as they look on the pictures. Certain areas could do with a bit of TLC but all minors things, the hosts were fantastic and responded to everything we asked for very quickly. Would definitely recommend for families and couples. Fishing went down well and the hot tub is great

  All the bed were very comfy. The cabin was very clean and presentable. The walks around the farm are stunning. The hot tub was incredible and very easy to access/set up. We recommend providing tea, coffee, salt and pepper or stating on the listing that this is not available when you arrive. With 6 of us attending the cabin there were at times not enough inside seats/space on the sofa.

  The setting is beautiful and the lodge is lovely. My husband and sons enjoyed fishing and caught some decent carp. We walked to the local pub (The Lion) about 20 minutes walk, really nice food. You can be woken by the sheep sometimes, but you are on a farm! The hot tub was fantastic and made good use of the bbq. Very peaceful and relaxing stay and comfy beds. Our only criticism would be the complete absence of a wardrobe or any hanging space. Not great living out of a suitcase! We missed having a toaster and oven gloves would be useful. Also there was no sheet provided for the sofa bed. However these things did not spoil our enjoyment of this fabulous place.

  The only thing I would say is the pictures don't do it justice, it's beautiful.

• "The place is amazing!"

  Like something out of a fairy tale. Honestly, cannot recommend highly enough. They even provided enough wood to actually have the fire on more than once. I believe any keen fishers out there would have yet another amazing dimension to enjoy. Beautiful pub a twenty minute walk away, locals are dead nice, views were spectacular, the whole thing just made you think of a movie. Hated to leave!! We'll definitely be back!! A few really REALLY minor bits and bobs that you only notice when you live in a place: couldn't get the lock on the toilet door to work, no cupboard space in kitchen or bedrooms, no outside cushions for the generous amounts of seating, no welcome pack (tea, coffee, milk, biscuits etc.), no companion set for the fire (poker, shovel, brush, tongues), kitchen's small and hence no microwave, toaster or electric kettle (there's a hob one, with old school whistle, which we did quite enjoy the novelty of to be honest), nowhere to hang coats... Like I say, completely minor and I'd happily move in tomorrow because I could have cried when I left. Amazing! 5 stars without any doubt!!
