  This is a great sized lodge for a family of 4.

  We had enough room between the bedrooms and the large family bathroom and en-suite. Nice decor and upon arrival it seemed great. Location is great some really local activities to do with young children. The safari zoo in Ulverston was great and Sizergh Castle was only a short drive too. The site is well kept and there is a nice walk around the lake and was very quiet. The cleanliness of the lodge was not acceptable. Upon arriving the lodge seemed clean and tidy. Until I sat down on the carpet with my children and stood up to be covered in dog hairs. I understand that the lodge does accept pets and we as a family have had dogs previously but it felt as though the carpet needed a deep clean. I attempted to the hoover the carpet but the hoover was not picking up. I emptied it and still it wasn’t picking up. This meant that we were not able to hoover before we left. There was a brush but it was snapped in half. On day three of our stay there were a lot of ants in the en-suite and were crawling all over the bath matt. There was some ant spray in the kitchen but it would more appropriate to deal with the issue and attempt to get rid of the ants. The dining room table legs were loose and we discovered this as it had to be pulled out for the 4 of us to sit at. The toilet brushes in both bathrooms need to be replaced as they were very dirty and they should be replaced more regularly. The en-suite bathroom had brown marks/stains on the floor around the location of the toilet brushes that made it feel very unclean and unkempt. The en-suite shower in the bathroom had mould marks around its edge and the doors were very dirty in the corners. The edge around the bath had holes in it and was damaged. The couches in the living area at extremely uncomfortable and so was the bed in the master bedroom. It felt as though the property was used a lot but not maintained well. This is frustrating as I have noticed that a review in December stated similar issues. We did try to make contact but the only number I could find in the booking information was a number for Sykes. I was not able to see a direct number to contact the owner. We left the holiday early as our eldest son was unwell and we wanted to be somewhere more comfortable for him to recover. We would not return due to the poor maintenance and cleanliness of the property. It was over priced for what we actually stayed in. Very disappointed.

  Initial expectations looked good images online and from outside property.

  On entering the property we had an issue of not receiving the cot & highchair that was ordered at booking (this was Sykes fault for not providing the information to the owner). However on contact with Sykes the cot & highchair had arrived within a hour. We also reported an issue with the en-suite bathroom as it had a pile of wood chip swept into the side of room, as if work had just been completed, on closer look this pile had around ants running around this and under the pedestal. Sykes contacted the owner and he phoned me and again arrived within the hour with ant spray and catchers. Sadly the vacuum wasn’t picking up properly (on later investigation the hoover was jammed packed and required emptying, the filter required washing as was thick with dust), this the reason the hoover wasn’t working properly. In the end we decided not to use the en-suite since we had the main bathroom. The only place we could fit the cot was against the en-suite door with the main bedroom door open. We will say this lodge is not really suitable for anyone with an infant needing a cot, but would be fine for older children who can sleep in the second bedroom. It is also not suitable for disabled people or anyone who cannot walk far, as you have to walk to the property to get the keys and fob to enter through the gate. I would say thank you for the fantastic speed of service & a bottle of Prosecco from the owner Stephen, it was a lovely gesture. Sadly this property wasn’t for us, this won’t stop us returning to the area.

  We had a lovely time at Cartmel lodge.

  The lodge is situated beautifully, surrounded by trees and bushes. It's so quiet and you can enjoy watching the squirrels jumping between trees whilst relaxing in the hot tub. Inside the lodge is big and open and feels very homely, the kitchen has all the utensils you need and a great big fridge freezer too. The central heating is great also and warns the place up in no time! Ensuite shower was brilliant although the bath in the family room is quite small. I marked the lodge down on a few things. When arriving after a long drive and as it was cold we would have liked to use the log burner straight away but we couldn't as there were no logs left for us. There was no information as to where you get the logs so we had to travel out to find some from a supermarket. I thought this was a little poor. Also as we visited during autum the wooden steps and decking area was extremely slippy l and led to a family member slipping down the entrance steps and hurting themselves, luckily nothing too serious but when I messaged the owner I had no reply. The steps could do with some anti slip strips placing on them. The same goes for the decking to the rear, I slipped and one of the decking planks shifted next to the hot tub causing me to land on my knees. Again could be easily rectified. All in all a great week away and we would be happy to return.

  On arrival I would suggest a map of the site be available at reception as it took a while finding the Lodge.

  Also, having to walk to the lodge to pick up the key and the fob needed to gain access with car was a pain. The lodge was clean and the welcoming basket was a nice touch. The bed in the main bedroom was very comfortable however, the 2nd bedroom had a matress which was smaller than the base and not to comfortable. The recliner couch looked good on photo's (home from home), but wasn't comfy at all. The back was loose and to far back when upright. I felt like turning it up end to tighten any loose bolt's as I have done with my own. There was an upright vacumm which was empty on first sight but wasn't picking up. I took a closer look and found the pipe and filters totally blocked. I cleared it and washed the filters, although not the best it did pick up. Our stay was relaxing and the weather was good and hot which meant the balcony was very well used and enjoyed. The view of the lake was very nice. It would have been good to have the use of a cantilver umbrella as the deck was in full sun from midday until sunset, also a couple of fans would have given some relief from the heat indoors.These additions would have made are stay perfect. All in all we had a good stay, liked the site with all amenities close by. We would recommend this lodge.
