Guests that stayed at this property said

Guests consistently note the lodge's cleanliness, describing it as spotless and well-maintained. The attention to hygiene, especially with the hot tub, is frequently commended, indicating a high standard of cleanliness throughout the property.

The lodge's location is celebrated for its privacy, quietness, and convenience for exploring the Lake District. Its proximity to local villages and attractions like Cartmel is appreciated, although some guests experienced difficulty with TV reception due to the location.

Comfort is highlighted with mentions of a cosy atmosphere, quality furnishings, and a well-stocked kitchen. However, some guests mention issues with bed mobility and the height of steps, slightly affecting the comfort score.

Facilities such as the hot tub, log fire, and kitchen equipment are well-received. Maintenance issues like heavy hot tub covers, lack of shelter, and occasional power cuts are noted, leading to a slightly lower score.

While guests mention thoughtful touches like ice cream gifts and well-equipped amenities, there are not enough references to consistently provided gifts to accurately score this category. It should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed.

About this property

This superb lodge is situated a 15 minute stroll from the historic village of Cartmel, at the top of the exclusive Pastures lodge park in a slightly elevated position towards the boundary of this 26 acre park with woodland and glade, thus affording extra outdoor space and privacy. Immaculately-presented in a quality contemporary style, this spacious lodge has open plan living with patio doors from the living area and a bedroom that opens on to the spacious elevated decking screened by glass with patio furniture and hot tub. On entering the lodge there is a vestibule with seating area and the washer/dryer which leads into the open plan living space with a large comfortable leather settee and woodburner, perfect to relax in front of on those chillier evenings. When warmer, open the patio doors and step onto the decking perhaps for an alfresco meal or drink and listen to the sound of bird song. The well-equipped stylish kitchen has integral appliances, granite surfaces and has a very useful wine chiller. Stepping into the spacious bedroom there are also patio doors leading to the private decking and the en-suite bathroom has a bath with rain shower over and with beautiful contemporary fixtures and fittings. The lodge also benefits from a hot tub allowing guests to relax after a hard day exploring the local area. Picturesque Cartmel is just three quarters of a mile away with its 12th century priory, and interesting independent shops and, of course, its eateries and pubs, including the infamous L'enclume restaurant together with a great selection of other restaurants. There is also the racecourse which holds meets during the summer months when the whole village is open, so a fantastic day out is within walking distance. Locally, there is Newby Bridge, which is at the southerly tip of Windermere, where you can take a boat cruise and view the stunning lakeland scenery on route to Bowness or Ambleside. Cyclists will also delight in the many trials especially in close by Grizedale Forrest. Grange-over-Sands is just 2 miles away, a Lakeland Edwardian coastal town with estuary promenade walk, a chocolatier and cafes. Humpreys Head is a pretty walk with coastal views and bluebell-filled woodland and this point is said to be the last known sighting of a wolf. This fabulous lodge is perfectly positioned for exploring this glorious lakeland area both near or further afield all year round. Return back to the lodge at the end of the day and enjoy total rest and relaxation. Note: This property is adjoining to Ref: 937354, together they sleep 4.

The lovely village of Allithwaite is idyllically located on the western edge of the Cartmel Peninsula, at the edges of the Lake District and Morecambe Bay. Described as being “set like a jewel in a cloak of green”, this village provides a shop, Post Office and a local pub serving food.

    The heating had obviously not been on for some time, it was minus 2 outside and so cold that the thermostat inside didn't even click! Once we figured out the timer it took all night to heat up. We have stayed in enough of these and each time the property has been climatised upon arrival. Overall the lodge is in good condition but we did feel that for the commanding price it just needs to provide a bit more value for money.

    Well equipped unfortunately we stayed when the extreme snow hit and had issue with the hill and car the owners were amazing and so kind definitely will be recommend to friends and will be returning l.

    Beautiful Lodge. If I had any thing to say probably and it's only a small issues is shelter around the hot tub. The hot tub was great but we are on show when you are in the hot tub and when you are getting in and out. Other than that we would highly recommend and will definitely be back to say at the Shepherds Lodge.
