About this property
Tucked away on the popular South Lakeland Leisure Village site on the outskirts of Carnforth, Lancashire, is this wonderful three-bedroom lodge, 7 Yealands. Enjoying a prime location within easy reach of the Lake District National Park, and access to a wealth of on-site facilities including a bar and restaurant, leisure centre, beauty spa, gym, indoor pool, and fishing lakes, 7 Yealands is a fantastic pet-friendly choice for couples or a family of five. The property benefits from two off-road parking spaces and private decking with furniture, perfect for evenings spent dining alfresco. Be welcomed into the light and airy open-plan living space, where you can look forward to whipping up delicious meals in the well-equipped kitchen, ready to savour at the dining table over a bottle of fizz. After dinner, kick-back and relax on the plush seating with your favourite tipple, as your favourite show plays out on the large Smart TV. Continue through to find a well-appointed shower room, where you can wash away the day's adventures before choosing from three tastefully decorated bedrooms, a double with en-suite shower room, a twin and a single. Head into the bustling town of Carnforth, where you can stock up on essentials at the convenience stores and supermarkets, dine at The County lodge & Brasserie, sample local ales at Taps On The Green, take a dip in the Carnforth Swimming Pool, or tour the Carnforth Railway Heritage Centre, famous for its appearance in the film, A Brief Encounter. Next stop is Capernwray, where you can explore the waters depths at the Capernwray Diving Centre, soak up the views from the Gamekeeper’s Tower, hook your catch of the day at the Clearwater Fisheries, or sample a sweet treat at The New England Tearoom. Venture further, where you can stop at the stunning Arnside & Silverdale AONB, a wildlife haven, where you will find the Lakeland Wildlife Oasis, RSPB Leighton Moss, and Grisedale Hide, or continue onto the Lake District National Park, where you can explore the fells, try your hand at watersports on Lake Windermere, explore a 2nd-century Roman Fort at Ambleside, and the former home of Wordsworth at Grasmere. All this and more awaits at 7 Yealands.

Upon arrival the lodge was spotless and very well decorated with everything required for a great week away, there was also a welcome package with treats which where much appreciated. There was a guest book which was helpful and lots of books and games to use. It was a great location and we had some lovely days out on, Morecambe is a short 20 minute drive away and lake Windermere was only a 32 minute drive. The bar and restaurant were just a short walk away overlooking a large lake which was perfect to walk around with the dog and stop off for a drink, the food was lovely and definitely recommended. There were also spa, pool and gym facilities that where accessible to people staying at Yealands. Carnforth was a 5 minute drive where there was a Tesco and an Aldis for any essentials if staying In and cooking. I would highly recommend this lodge and hope to return again soon in the near future. Thanks Again Jane for been a great host.

The lodge was spotless - almost looked brand new, and very well stocked - the only thing missing was a hairdryer and perhaps a few board games. The beds and sofas were comfortable, the gate on the deck meant it was secure for dogs (and children) and there was no hint of previous doggie companions. We used the lodge as a base to access the Lake District, which was a short drive away, but there was also plenty of attractions close by. The only real hiccup was that we received no gate code for the site and the key fob which was supposed to be supplied was missing, but this was quickly fixed with a call to the Sykes team.The site was beautiful and tranquil, however would have liked a little more info on the opening times of the onsite restaurant as we discover that they shut Monday and Tuesdays and most of the Carnforth pubs/restaurants were also closed during the week, but perhaps this was due to it being slightly out of season. We would definitely stay at the lodge again soon.
