Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews frequently highlight the lodge's cleanliness, with many guests describing it as very clean and well-maintained. One minor complaint about insects does not significantly detract from the overall high standard noted.
The lodge's location is praised for being peaceful and good, with easy access to local amenities and attractions. The lack of a playground is noted, but does not greatly affect the positive views on location.
Comfort is a standout feature, with guests mentioning the comfortable beds and the spaciousness of the lodge. The lodge is described as cosy and equipped with home comforts, contributing to a restful stay.
Facilities such as the hot tub are highly appreciated, though some guests find the leisure centre expensive. The absence of a playground and on-site shop is mentioned, but overall, the facilities are regarded as great.
The welcome pack and inclusion of small conveniences like sugar, salt, and pepper are seen as thoughtful gestures. However, it should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

Carnforth is the kind of place that everyone has heard of, and many want to discover this hidden gem because it is located just off the M6 and 20 miles south of the scenic Lake District. It is conveniently located near the northern tip of Morecambe Bay, north of the historic town of Lancaster, only 15 miles from the winding lanes of the Yorkshire Dales, and a short hop, skip, and a jump from the Lake District. Greenlands Farm Village is another popular destination in the area, and it features shops selling handmade goods and locally made food, as well as a children's area, a café, and a garden centre. Beautiful Morecambe Bay can be found just to the north of Carnforth, with its expansive tidal sands. This fantastic region of Lancashire is ideal for those who enjoy nature walks and spotting native birds and animals. Kirkby Lonsdale is a beautiful historic market town that you should definitely check out.

It was equipped with everything we needed. It was cosy and we all slept soundly in the comfortable beds. The hot tub was clean and maintained. Our 3 teenage kids also loved the lodge. Weâll definitely be back in the future.

The lodge was very clean and spacious. The hot tub was superb. All of our family commented on how comfortable the beds are. More than enough home comforts in the lodge too. Location is great, we had some lovely meals out at nearby restaurants. The location of the lodge on the main site is good. Would love to stay here again for another short break.

My family had a great time. The beds were so comfortable that I slept like a log every night. I would highly recommend driving up to lakeside at the bottom of Lake windermere where there is an aquarium,steam train and a boat that will take you up to Bowness or you can go further if you want where it has beautiful scenery. Also, a 30-minute walk away is Greenland Farm Village, which is a lovely day out and can have a game of crazy golf.
