Date of stay: 3rd October 2025

Beautiful area, so peaceful.. lovely little gesture when we arrived, sticky toffee pudding, milk, coffee and tea, would definitely stay again.Only criticisms is that the lodge could do with updating a little it seems a little tired, the sofas were ridiculously uncomfortable and found that we were too uncomfortable to sit on so we sat around the dining table. Also I was disappointed in the hot tub being emptied before we left, I don't think that it should be emptied until we have left after all we paid up until 9.30am, But overall a delightful stay

Second stay here this year. Bed is a little uncomfortable and squeaky. Issue with fuse box but quickly rectified

Katherine
Date of stay: 24th September 2025

Due to the weather being so miserable we spent a lot of time In the lodge than we intended to which is fine no one can help the British weather. On first entrance the lodge stunk of what i thought was old spicy food / takeaway it was not a pleasant smell at all ! So we had to open all the windows to air out the lodge. The lodge was definitely not as clean as we would have liked. Cob webs Every where in every lamp shade , the windows were filthy , and the Rug in the lounge either needs a clean or to be replaced. The lodge definitely needs some TLC when it comes to decor and paint ! Definitely not what we expected for over £100 a night. When we went to cook on our first evening the cutlery was all dirty as were the plates and glasses so we spent our first night of our holiday washing up and cleaning ! The Hot tub was lovely although instead of slate / stones a flat surface to exit the hot tub would be a lot safer. The decking definitely needed a clean as it was so slimly and no where to hang a towel or wrap for when you exit the hot tub so may be some Hooks would be beneficial. I probably wouldnt recommend or stay here again which is a shame as Cartmel was a lovely village and we enjoyed visiting the local area , the food and the scenery.
