  We loved our stay at Shepherds Lodge.

  The directions to the lodge were easy to follow and we found it no prob at all. It was good to be able to go direct to the property and get the key without having a stand in a queue to check in. It would have been nice to have been able to check in a little earlier though. Inside the lodge was exactly as the photos had shown and we couldn't really want for anything more stocked in the kitchen. The living room area was clean and comfortable and bright. The only issue we had was in the bedroom, the mattress we found a little hard, in fact I ended up on the settee. The bathroom was lovely, maybe an extra toilet roll would be good as we ran out on the last day due to there not being much on the rolls but honestly that is the only thing I can say negative. The best part for us was the hot tub, we hadn't been in a hot tub prior to the lodge and weren't sure what to expect. But, the water was a lovely temperature when we got there so we unpacked and jumped straight in. We have a couple of points regarding the privacy though. The cabin attached and the two further down can see the hot tub no problem if they walked by and the cabin next door, if they didn't have their blind closed they would have been looking directly at us so a bit more screening would have been nice. We reversed the car up the drive for extra cover. The second point is maybe a covering would be good, lots of bits of tree were falling into the water so a bit of time was spent removing these not relaxing. It was a bit disappointing to have to be out at 9am. We would recommend this lodge.

  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 unfortunately arrived late in the evening due to traffic.

  On our arrival, the Cabin took us some time to find (Shepherds Lodge). The Semi detached Cabin adjoined to ours (which was empty) had outside lighting on in advance, where as ours did not, so was very difficult in the dark not only to locate and find, but even to carefully maneuver without tripping over. When we turned on the outside lights, we noticed rubbish bags strewn near the Key box, which in our opinion was not good, considering we checked in at 10pm and you had the whole day to organise. The facilities inside the Cabin were good and helpful. The Jacuzzi on first use had a strange smell to it and water was only semi clear. When we went to use it the next day, the water was literally like a swamp look at 2pm. We were hoping after going out for the day on our return the cleaner would have this resolved. However, on our return at 6pm, we noticed it was far worse and had an awful pungent smell which caused us to retch. We phoned to complain and a guy came out approximately 6:30pm and finished emptying and restoring it with clean water. The job was completed by 9pm, bearing in mind this was our last night. We have video and photo footage showing the above. Not at all impressed. Steve and Jeanette.

  )I don’t think it was worth the price!

  2) the bed was too soft ( But that’s just a personal preference) the big problem was how it was on wheels and on a smooth surface it just wouldn’t stay still which was quite dangerous!! EG every time you leaned on it. It would move and twice the wheel was near my bear feet!! The first time really hurt the second time I was able to move quickly. 3) For £450 for one night I really think it quite a cheek to only be able to book in at 17.00 and have to leave at 9.00 in the morning?? But that’s my own fault because it was clearly explained that was the case on booking. 4) Again to stay in a one bedroom lodge for one night at the price of £450 and only book in from 17.00 and have to leave the following morning at 9.00 you really would expect maybe a little larger Hot tub?? Or if not it must have some kind of shelter over it?? Even a large retractable umbrella or something to protect you from the sun, Wind and Rain?? But despite my own personal issues it was very nice and i would recommend this to anyone!! We had a great time! But I am very entertaining so of course we had a good time.

  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 !
