Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews frequently highlight the lodge's cleanliness, with many guests describing it as immaculate. There are a few isolated comments about minor issues, but these do not detract significantly from the overall perception of a clean and tidy property.
The lodge's location is consistently lauded for its beauty and convenience. Guests appreciate the quiet setting and the ease of access to local attractions, making it an ideal base for exploring the Lake District.
Comfort is well-regarded, with the lodge described as cosy and warm. Some guests find the beds a bit hard, and there are occasional comments about the need for fans during hot weather, but overall, the lodge is considered comfortable.
Facilities like the hot tub and kitchen are appreciated, though there are mentions of minor maintenance needs such as bathroom fittings and BBQ cleanliness. The hot tub is a highlight, with daily maintenance noted positively.

About this property
This superb, detached log cabin is situated on a quiet park just under a mile from the quaint, priory village of Cartmel and just six miles from the southerly tip of Lake Windermere in the beautiful Lake District. Presented to a high standard with contemporary styling throughout, the lodge has two bedrooms, including a master bedroom with an en-suite shower room, a family bathroom, an impressive open plan living area with a cosy woodburning stove and tri-fold doors opening on to an extensive decked patio area with private hot tub. Outside, there is lots of space on the decking to enjoy the tranquil location which is rich in wildlife. Why not enjoy a walk into Cartmel and take lunch at one of the village pubs? Alternatively, you can drive over to the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Steam Railway to embark on a train ride and potter up to Lakeside and enjoy the Aquarium or steam further up Lake Windermere to explore Bowness-on-Windermere or Ambleside. At the end of the day, relax back at this superb lodge with the wonderful hot tub and luxurious accommodation. A great base for families or friends at any time of the year.
The village of Cartmel is renowned as the prettiest village in the Lake District. The village features walks, cobbled streets with antique shops, a gift shop, traditional pubs and the Michelin Star awarded L'Enclume restaurant.

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.

Really comfortable and we enjoyed the hot tub at the end of each day. Great location to get out and about in the southern Lake District and we loved Cartmel.

Such a cosy lovely base in which we were very happy to have a few rainy days in. We would love to visit again.
