Herdwick Lodge was everything we hoped for from the very positive reviews. In actual fact it is more spacious than the photographs portray. Fencing and hedging provide privacy for the hot tub.Very much enjoyed the hot tub, reassuring that it is attended to and checked daily by maintenance team.

We had such a lovely stay at Goddard's Mead! Rob and Sharon put so much care into converting this historic building and it really shows. They greeted us with warmth and Bonnie was adorable. The location is perfect for exploring Essex - we spent ages wandering around Thaxted and nearby villages, soaking up the history. Everything about the place was comfortable and relaxing. Definitely recommend for anyone wanting a peaceful getaway with charm and character!

Lovely location, very peaceful site. Lodge was very clean, spacious and well equipped. A lot of thought has gone into the decor with matching cushions, light shades and blinds. Good solid wood furniture. Slept well in the comfy bed after a good day's walking and relaxing in the hot tub. If the weather's not good enough for the hot tub, The Herdwick has the biggest bath I've ever seen!

Two night stay in lodge with hot tub, lodge was lovely but could do with outside tidying up around hot tub and lodge was a bit dated could do with upgrading. Didnt sleep great due to hard pillows and bed was ready to get home.

We enjoyed our two nights in the lodge with the hot tub, which was lovely. The lodge itself felt a bit dated and could do with some upgrades. The outside area around the hot tub could be tidier too. Sadly, the hard pillows and bed made sleep difficult. Still, a nice stay overall!

We loved the peaceful setting, its just perfect for relaxing. The lodge was spotless, spacious and had everything we needed. The decor was thoughtful, with matching cushions, shades and blinds that made it feel cosy. The solid wood furniture added a nice touch. After a long walk, the comfy bed was just what we needed and the hot tub was a real highlight! If the weathers not great, the bath is huge!

The Google pictures for this lodge aren't accurate and that is a different lodge.This review is for the Texel Lodge at pastures, meadows end, Cartmel.Set in a beautiful location. Little light pollution at night and super peaceful.The lodge is nice but it's showing signs of wear and tear. Hence the 4 star review.The hot tub is a little tired, the general accomodation could just do with a spruce up. However, it is still nice.The laid back approach of the staff is good,no hassle and not being bothered. The hot tub was serviced every day.It's a 10 minute walk into beautiful pictureque Cartmel village and a 10 minute drive to Grange Over Sands.Do not expect a signal here. I think that's a good thing though. Social media and electronic device detox.

Honestly, the photos online for this place are misleading-it's not the same lodge at all. We stayed at the Texel Lodge in Pastures, Meadows End, Cartmel and the area is absolutely stunning, so peaceful with hardly any light pollution at night. The lodge itself is pretty nice, but you can tell its starting to show some wear and tear, which is why we gave it 4 stars. The hot tub looks a bit tired and the whole place could do with a refresh, but its still a lovely spot. We appreciated the relaxed vibe from the staff-no fuss, no bother-and the hot tub was cleaned daily. Its about a 10-minute walk into Cartmel, which is gorgeous and not much further to Grange-over-Sands. Don't expect much signal here, but honestly, thats kinda refreshing-perfect for a proper device detox!

Very clean, cosy lodge for two. The back bit with the hot tub was lovely and felt very private. Even though there are other lodges on site it was very quiet with lots of nature about. We saw birds, squirrels and deer every day while there. I would definitely recommend this as a romantic place for couples and wed definitely stay again.

We had a great stay at this cosy little lodge. It was spotless and super private, especially the back area with the hot tub - perfect for relaxing. Despite other lodges nearby, it was peaceful with plenty of wildlife around; we saw birds, squirrels and deer daily. Definitely a lovely spot for couples and wed come back in a heartbeat!

First time in Herdwick Lodge after visiting Meadows End four times now. The lodge was amazing, spotlessly clean with all the essentials needed. Very spacious with 2 double bedrooms both ensuite and a well equipped kitchen. Log burner warms up the place nicely on the chilly evenings. Hot tub in a very private position and can be accessed easily from one of the bedrooms or main door, nice to sit in and stare at the stars. Of course you have Cartmel village within easy walking distance which we know and love so much now. Plenty choice of pubs and places to eat for a nice a lunch to evening meals and a takeaway sticky toffee pudding!! Coffee and Stays is a lovely place for a breakfast and I would highly recommend it. Cartmel and Meadows End is now our go to place and already pricing up for next year ????

We recently stayed at Herdwick Lodge after visiting Meadows End four times and honestly, it didnt disappoint. The place was spotless and fully stocked with everything we needed. Its really spacious, with two double ensuite bedrooms and a kitchen thats well kitted out - made cooking a breeze. The log burner was perfect for chilly nights, adding a cosy vibe. The hot tub is tucked away in a super private spot and easy to reach from the bedroom or main door - sitting there, gazing at the stars, was such a treat. We love how close Cartmel village is; its just a short walk and offers loads of pubs and eateries, plus a takeaway sticky toffee pudding thats to die for! Also, Coffee and Stays is a gem for breakfast. Honestly, Cartmel and Meadows End have become our top choice and were already looking at dates for next year - cant wait!

Overall, we had a pretty good stay. The bathroom, bedroom and kitchen were all spotless, which was great. The furniture was comfy and felt decent quality, not cheap rubbish. The hot tub was clean and warm-definitely a highlight. Only a couple of issues: the rug was a bit dirty and the hairdryer didnt work. The TV remote was a bit fiddly and the hoover was pretty naff. Still, wed recommend it!

Would recommend.

Everything was amazing. Only major issue was how hard the mattress was in the bedroom however, its not a major deal to us due to knowing hoseasons cant accommodate everyone. Would definetly book again ( already looking )

Overall, we had a really lovely stay. The only thing that wasn't perfect was the mattress in the bedroom - quite firm! Still, its no biggie since we understand Hoseasons cant suit every preference. Were already planning to return!

This was my familys second time staying at Meadows End. It's a beautiful spot and perfectly located for anyone/family looking to explore the Lake District. The lodge itself was very clean and well prepared for us. It was even stocked with some festive treats - a lovely surprise!! We do think this particular lodge is in need of some TLC (furniture quite worn & tired in living room) but this didnt take away from the wonderful time we had. Special thanks to the staff team at Meadow End - they were amazing and we appreciated the fab communication received from start to end.

Weve stayed at Meadows End a couple of times now and honestly, its a lovely place to base yourself in the Lake District. The location is spot on for exploring and the lodge is always tidy and well-stocked when we arrive. We were really chuffed to find some festive treats waiting for us-such a nice touch! That said, the furniture in the living room could do with a bit of a refresh, as its showing signs of wear and tear. But honestly, it didnt spoil our trip at all. Big shoutout to the team at Meadow End-theyre really helpful and kept the communication flowing smoothly from start to finish. Well be back!

We had an amazing time at Meadows End! The lodge was spotless and really well put together. Little things like the Christmas tree when we arrived made it extra special. The whole park is so tidy and peaceful, exactly what we needed to unwind. The staff were all really friendly and went out of their way to help us. Honestly, we loved our stay and are already looking forward to coming back for more relaxation. Definitely recommend!
