  I booked this lodge to celebrate our anniversary.

  On arrival we were very impressed with the overall space and location of the lodge. However my partner went to have a bath and the water was tepid and not hot enough to make a bath. I booked here knowing it had a bath as my partner struggles to regulate her temperature especially once she has got cold. After a day hiking needed a bath to heat her up hence why I booked a property with a bath it was luke warm at best even though the shower and water coming from the sinks was hot. We called the plumber but he said he was unable to do anything this is false advertising and I'm extremely disappointed in this. The lodge was very dirty and the floors have not been mopped. The lodge itself is well located and quiet. The hot tub is a nice addition to the property. The outside decking area is lovely but cushions would be a welcome addition yo the outside furniture this area including table and decking was also very dirty considering check out is so early I would expect much higher cleaning standards. With it being our anniversary we were celebrating with a bottle of champagne there were no champagne flutes and only one wine glass very poor considering this is a place recommended for couples. We enjoyed our stay but its a shame these things have left us feeling frustrated especially considering the price we paid. A hair dryer would also be a good addition to the property..

  We arrived at the cottage and it was really clean which put us at ease given the current pandemic.

  Although we weren’t provided with any soap to wash our hands with or any toilet roll so first thing was to go to the shop to buy some for the week, very disappointed as something so simple should’ve been provided. We also were not given any matches to light the fire with so we ended up just using the heating, luckily during our stay it wasn’t too cold so it didn’t bother us! There wasn’t adequate hot water to run a bath or have a proper shower - I would say lukewarm water, if it wasn’t for the hot tub it wouldn’t have been great after a long day of walking! We tried to ring skyes everyday but couldn’t get through to anyone to try and fix these issues which was very disappointing! Given the changes to our arrival and departure times we would’ve appreciated something such as a bottle of wine or chocolate/coffee etc just to make up for the last minute changes, other places we’ve stayed have provided these and it’s a very nice touch! I would come and visit again if these issues were amended but a note to self to bring toilet roll.

  A well presented, spotlessly clean & surprisingly spacious cottage in a secluded location on the hillside.

  The access to the cottage is via a bumpy one track road that weaves up the hillside (having a 4x4 vehicle would definitely be beneficial!). The location is very secluded and peaceful which we appreciated. Access to facilities such as grocery shops and the pub is a drive away (you could get to the Derby Arms pub on foot but would take over 30 minutes there and back so a car is preferable). We found the closest supermarkets (small Tesco and Coop) to be in Grange over Sands which is approx 15min drive. Closeby is the steam train which takes you to lakeside where you can board a boat to Bowness and Ambleside - this makes for a lovely day out. Also within reach is Levens Hall and Sizergh Castle, both are lovely historic places to visit. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at Coachmans and appreciated the kind thought of leaving us a delightful lemon drizzle cake, tea/coffee sachets, milk and a large bottle of water for when we arrived.

  Lodge was in a lovely quiet spot and close to the beautiful village of Cartmel .

  It was one of the best equipped lodges we have stayed in .The kitchen had everything you needed (even plastic wine glasses to use outside! ) The living room was homely and the sofa was comfortable.The wood burner was fantastic . It was even set up ready just to light for the evening and there was ample kindling and logs . The only issue was with the oven . it look 45 mins to warm up and cooked very slowly even on the highest heat (The fan inside looked like it wasn’t working and we left a note to inform the owners when we left) The lodge was back to back with another lodge and you could hear some noise as people were shutting doors , their washing machine spinning etc but not enough to put us off staying again . The bed and pillows were super comfy and we slept well . The only thing that was missing was a hair dryer ( or a mention in the listing that one wasn’t supplied ) Thank you for relaxing stay !

  We had the most amazing week away.

  100% worth the money as it’s in the perfect location, only 10 mins away from any takeaway and 40 mins from windermere. We would come back in a heartbeat. Only thing we found although it wasn’t a problem for us as our next door neighbours were so considerate of us but the property is listed as detached, however it is very much semi detached it is private so we didn’t find this an issue. The wifi isn’t the best either and the tv hasn’t got options of netflix or anything like that, so i wouldn’t suggest bringing your own laptop where you can watch your favourite shows. Despite all of this we honestly had the best week away and it was made so nice because we had a lovely lodge to come back to from a busy day, especially the hot tub was the best perfect treat. Overall we are planning on looking to book again next year as it was honestly so perfect.
