The Bothy in Carnforth is generally praised for its comfort, cleanliness, and location, offering a cosy and well-equipped space for guests. While compact, it provides a good base for exploring the surrounding area, with many appreciating the peaceful setting and proximity to nature reserves and the Lakes. Some guests noted minor issues with facilities and maintenance, but these do not detract from the overall positive experience.
Guests consistently describe The Bothy as clean and well-maintained, with only a few minor comments about the need for additional cleaning supplies. The positive remarks about the property's cleanliness lead to a high score in this category.
The location is highly praised for its convenience and beauty, being close to Arnside, Silverdale, and the south Lakes. The proximity to nature reserves and walking paths contributes to a high score for location.
The Bothy is frequently described as comfortable and cosy, with comfortable beds and furniture. However, some guests mentioned the property being compact and the bench seating being difficult to manoeuvre, slightly lowering the score.
Facilities are generally well-received, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and modern amenities. However, several guests noted a lack of hand soap, oven gloves, and sufficient crockery, which suggests room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
While some guests appreciated the welcome pack, there is not enough information to determine the consistency of such gestures or to assess the overall thoughtfulness of the host. Therefore, the score is set to null, and it should be noted that gifts are not guaranteed.

We arrived and unpacked, then went to wash our hands NO hand soap anywhere in the property. We have never had to bring our own hand soap to any holiday destination - really poor start. Property comfortable just not a great amount of room in the kitchen. There was no 'hot' water, shower was luke warm and washing up was not easy, which we had to do often as there was only one set per person (4 people) granted there was 2 of us but one coffee and one tea and that was it. We only stayed for a long weekend, but that was enough.

We had a very good weekend break in the Bothy. It was very cosy for two of us and in a lovely spot - very convenient for Arnside and Silverdale and easy travel to the south Lakes.
