• "We were there during a bad storm and the power went off."

  I called the number in the lodge and the owner was helpful and considerate. The power was only off a short time and the maintenance team were polite and friendly and helped keep us informed. I feel more confident recommending the lodge since I know if anything happened it would be dealt with well. The lodge was as advertised and comfortable, the heating was good and kept it very warm. The small points that could be improved: 1 is to add some hooks in the bathrooms as there was nowhere to hang towels. 2 I did not find a hairdryer so glad I took my own. The design of mirrors and plug sockets meant it was difficult to dry hair stood looking in a mirror but I found an extension cable in the main bedroom so this was ok. Overall a pleasant stay in a good location to explore the local area. We would go again.

• "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.

• "We had a lovely week at Cartmel Lodge."

  It’s very comfortable, spacious, warm and tranquil. A lovely retreat to return to at the end of the day. Access was easy and Gemma answered our queries very quickly. The hot tub was amazing after a day exploring the lakes. I would strongly recommend to the owners (as others have done) to add hooks to the back of the doors in the bathrooms as there is nowhere at all to hang wet towels. Also, a mirror is needed in the twin room for hair drying purposes (also been mentioned previously). These are minor things that did not lessen the enjoyment of our week. We would recommend and hope to return.

  No logs wood for the fire nothing. Also should state need a touch as very dark if coming back from the village as you are walking on the main country roads Hottub great massive lodge very quiet very clean and comfortable beds

• "Location was great."

  Lodge was a lovely size and well equipped . Disappointed that there was a disgusting smell in the twin bedroom , which was overbearing meaning we slept on the couches .The owners were informed of the smell and the fact we had to sleep on the couches.The carpet was ‘cleaned’ and the smell remained. We were offered some money back as an apology which we are still to receive 6 days later .This issue spoilt our break .

  The hot tub was first class. With a few minor adjustments, it would have been a great week. These are: Leak on outside tap - reported. Loose deck plank by jacuzzi, worn ledge - reported. Bedroom tv, once working, signal kept dropping out - not reported. Main tv, followed instructions, never did get it working on live tv. Had to use itv x and iPlayer - reported. New plugs in both bathrooms. They wouldn’t seat properly. Water drained out. The above are not drips, because we really did have a good week. Yours Harry The following would have been really helpful. Hooks in bedroom for dressing gowns. Rails in bathroom to hang towels. Rail to help access to the bath.

• "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.

• "I cannot say how poor the maintenance was on this holiday further more your explanation."

  That we should have complained at the time to watch a army of cleaner come in and carry out a del clean so stressful we left after three days totally un-exceptable and a civil sue will becoming if nothing is done

  Further to the above feedback I am disappointed the guest did not report any of the issues he encountered to me upon arrival. Even more surprising he stayed for 3 days before going home without telling anyone then asking for a refund. Once the guest had left none of the issues he subsequently reported a week later could be found. We will hold our hands up if we do not meet guest expectation, however this review is just not true.

• "We had a really lovely week in this lodge."

  It was bright and airy, beds were very comfy and just a generally very welcoming place. Really warm, we barely used the heating, just to take the edge off first thing in the morning. The hot-tub was lovely and we were impressed at the daily checks of it. Well-equipped and the cutlery was actually nice - not those weird cheap sets that feel odd in your hand which most places seem to have. The bath towels are very small though, like those hotel ones that don't really cover you. Site is nice, it's really quiet, we hardly saw or heard anyone even though we were there during half-term week. A really relaxing place. There is recycling on the main road to the site, I don't think it mentions that in the guide book. Surrounding area is lovely, we did a few day trips out to see different places and lots of great scenery. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in the area.

• "The lodge is in need of some TLC."

  Examples include damaged bathroom sink, dishwasher and hot tub lid holder. The DVD buzzed annoyingly.Some of the kitchen equipment is in a poor state, particularly the pans. We found it bizarre that there was a washing machine but no airer. Towels were small and thin. There were no hot tub towels or dressing gowns. We wondered whether the owner has ever lived in the lodge. For example there were no hooks to hang towels and no electricity point near a mirror so drying/curling hair was very difficult. Also the information pack was poor with no information on local facilities, recommendations for dining and walks etc. The visitor book was full and had not been changed since last year. All of this seems a great shame as the lodge is a good size, secluded and in a nice setting. A small amount of effort could make it really nice.

• "Holiday home was dirty on arrival."

  Floor was filthy with mud and dog hair from previous guests. Brushed floor myself then asked cleaning staff to return, they hoovered floor but did not mop. Normally I would not be bothered by this but due to current global pandemic and having to mop lodge floors myself I didn't feel this was acceptable. This is no complaint to owner of lodge, he is under the impression that more cleaning is being undertaken at present as stated to me on the phone when he informed me about key collection and probably paying extra and unfortunately this is just not the case.

  Lodge was spacious and comfortable and hot tub was great. Just a couple of improvements based on previous experiences in places like this. Mainly those extra touches for example there was no hand soap provided, no little things like salt and pepper/ oil etc No welcome bottle of wine. So you do have to bring everything you can think of whereas other places these are provided. Hot tub lights broken and no shelter meaning on the day/night of the storm we couldn’t use it. Would be perfect on a summers day though! Overall it’s a lovely place and we’d go again, just missing the little extra touches.

  Booked as a surprise for my partner for his birthday and he was extremely pleasantly surprised. Hot tub was spacious, clean and a perfect place to sit on a chilly night and star gaze. With no light pollution, we had never seen so many and it made for a perfect evening, or two! Kitchen had 99% of things needed to make any meal and what it didn’t have you could get by with so no drama cooking big scrumptious meals instead of eating out. And the dish washer made the experience a pleasure relaxing together afterwards instead of standing over a sink for 40 minutes. Bed spacious and comfortable. I took some spare loo roll and we needed it by the second day. There was a small amount of tea and coffee, hot chocolate, and sugars so the local shop was ideal for stocking up on bits needed. I did an online shop and had it delivered right to the door of the lodge with was perfect. Kevin on site is very kind and will visit you to say hi and give you his number for wood deliveries for the log burner. The owner is very helpful and replied to my few queries with haste.
