Snaptrip says

Fir Tree Lodge is a well-loved cottage in Ulverston, praised for its stunning garden, cosy atmosphere, and fantastic hot tub. Guests appreciate the property's scenic views and its proximity to local attractions. While some guests have noted issues with heating and noise from other occupants, the overall experience is seen as enjoyable, with many looking forward to returning.

Guests that stayed at this property said

The lodge generally receives positive remarks on cleanliness, but some guests suggest a deeper clean and attention to details like cobwebs and windows. The quick response to a cleaning issue shows good service recovery.

The location is highly praised for its stunning views and proximity to local pubs and attractions. The scenic garden and wildlife sightings add to the charm, making it a desirable destination.

Guests find the beds comfortable and the property spacious. However, some have experienced issues with heating and noise from other guests, which affected their comfort levels.

The hot tub is a highlight, though there are comments about maintenance issues like a wobbly tap. The presence of a jacuzzi and the spacious garden are positives, but the noise from other guests and heating problems are concerns.

There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

    Sykes were poor. Booking stated no dogs when first booked. I was emailed arrival details a few days before the booking and it said dogs welcome. I paid £75 to put our dog into kennels…. Sykes cancelled my booking then reinstated it.

  • Banya

    Nice kitchen. Adequate cooking utensils and cutlery. Enjoyed hot tub in the cold night. Could have done with providing more toilet rolls and bin bags

  • Amanda

    ) I would describe this more as a ground floor apartment rather than a cottage as the people staying above us (which we hadn't realised could happen) were quite noisy! Also there are lots of cobwebs with little spiders, maybe a quick hoover of these would help! Loved the cosy fire and the hot tub!
