"We loved the peaceful setting, its just perfect for relaxing. The lodge was spotless, spacious and had everything we needed. The decor was thoughtful, with matching cushions, shades and blinds that made it feel cosy. The solid wood furniture added a nice touch. After a long walk, the comfy bed was just what we needed and the hot tub was a real highlight! If the weathers not great, the bath is huge!"

"We had a great stay at this cosy little lodge. It was spotless and super private, especially the back area with the hot tub - perfect for relaxing. Despite other lodges nearby, it was peaceful with plenty of wildlife around; we saw birds, squirrels and deer daily. Definitely a lovely spot for couples and wed come back in a heartbeat!"

"We recently stayed at Herdwick Lodge after visiting Meadows End four times and honestly, it didnt disappoint. The place was spotless and fully stocked with everything we needed. Its really spacious, with two double ensuite bedrooms and a kitchen thats well kitted out - made cooking a breeze. The log burner was perfect for chilly nights, adding a cosy vibe. The hot tub is tucked away in a super private spot and easy to reach from the bedroom or main door - sitting there, gazing at the stars, was such a treat. We love how close Cartmel village is; its just a short walk and offers loads of pubs and eateries, plus a takeaway sticky toffee pudding thats to die for! Also, Coffee and Stays is a gem for breakfast. Honestly, Cartmel and Meadows End have become our top choice and were already looking at dates for next year - cant wait!"

"Really enjoyed staying here, its cosy and very private too."

"Our Meadows End Lodges review: Overall, we had a pretty good stay. The bathroom, bedroom and kitchen were all spotless, which was great. The furniture was comfy and felt decent quality, not cheap rubbish. The hot tub was clean and warm-definitely a highlight. Only a couple of issues: the rug was a bit dirty and the hairdryer didnt work. The TV remote was a bit fiddly and the hoover was pretty naff. Still, wed recommend it!"
Jamie Carter - Feb 2025
"Overall, we had a really lovely stay. The only thing that wasn't perfect was the mattress in the bedroom - quite firm! Still, its no biggie since we understand Hoseasons cant suit every preference. Were already planning to return!"

"Weve stayed at Meadows End a couple of times now and honestly, its a lovely place to base yourself in the Lake District. The location is spot on for exploring and the lodge is always tidy and well-stocked when we arrive. We were really chuffed to find some festive treats waiting for us-such a nice touch! That said, the furniture in the living room could do with a bit of a refresh, as its showing signs of wear and tear. But honestly, it didnt spoil our trip at all. Big shoutout to the team at Meadow End-theyre really helpful and kept the communication flowing smoothly from start to finish. Well be back!"

"We had an amazing time at Meadows End! The lodge was spotless and really well put together. Little things like the Christmas tree when we arrived made it extra special. The whole park is so tidy and peaceful, exactly what we needed to unwind. The staff were all really friendly and went out of their way to help us. Honestly, we loved our stay and are already looking forward to coming back for more relaxation. Definitely recommend!"
Matthews - Dec 2024
"Quite enjoyed the stay"

"Really enjoyed our stay here! The staff were friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome. The place itself was lovely - well definitely be coming back. Highly recommend it! Thanks for a great experience."

"Weve stayed at Vendeen Lodge twice now and its always spotlessly clean. The beds and furniture are super comfy and theres plenty of hot water. The hot tub gets checked daily which is great. Despite lots of bookings, its so peaceful here. Wed definitely recommend!"
Emma - Dec 2024
"We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge. Its got pretty much everything you could need and the location is lovely. Windermere is just half an hour away and Grange over Sands is only about ten minutes, though its quite peaceful and small. Theres a charming little cafe there too. We're definitely planning to return sometime soon. Thanks a lot!"
Emma - Nov 2024
"Really enjoyed our stay, the lodge was perfect and Cartmel made it even more special! Great trip!"
James - Nov 2024
"We stayed here recently and found the place quite tidy and clean, which was great. The location is spot on, really easy to get to. The furniture, especially the pouffe, was a bit worn with a rip, so not the most plush. Itd help if directions like third lodge on the right were clearer, especially for late arrivals, since the sheep names arent very visible in the dark."
Emma - Nov 2024
"We had a lovely time at the second lodge! Everything was spot on, just a king-size bed and a wooden spoon were missing. Still, the extras made it special!"
Emma - Nov 2024
"We stayed at Teesdale Lodge recently and overall, it was quite a nice and spacious place. Having a washing machine was definitely a plus, especially on a longer stay. That said, a few things could use some attention - the hot tub looked a bit tired and the hobs ignitor wasnt working, though we managed to use it anyway. The rug in the living room was covered in dog hairs and we kept finding hair on our clothes, which was a bit of a surprise given its dog-friendly. Still, good value for money and wed recommend it, just dont forget your bottle opener!"
Emma - Nov 2024
"We stayed at the lodge from 27th to 30th September 2024 and honestly, it was a pretty lovely weekend. Before we even checked in, we got a really thoughtful message with all the info we needed about the place and the local area, which was a nice touch. When we arrived, the staff greeted us warmly and wished us a good stay, which made us feel welcome right away. There was a helpful booklet in the lodge with tips on using the log burner, local attractions and some practical info - definitely handy.The lodge itself was super cosy and the log burner was the star of the show! My partner loved sitting in front of it. Logs are an extra charge, but at £12 for a weekend, its not bad at all. We didnt hear much noise from neighbouring cabins, just a few girls enjoying themselves on the first night, but when the door was shut, it was perfectly peaceful. The location was spot on - a quick taxi ride into Cartmel for food and drinks, which was handy. Grange-over-Sands is about eight minutes by car, but honestly, theres not much to do there, just a few decent places to eat.I was a bit surprised at how small the lodge was, but honestly, it didnt impact our stay. It was well-equipped with towels, soap, shampoo and even tea, coffee, sugar and a bottle of milk in the fridge - all the little extras we appreciate. There was even a sticky toffee pudding waiting in the fridge, which was a lovely touch. The smart TV was great too; it made relaxing on our days off much easier without having to scroll through endless channels. Overall, we had a really enjoyable time and would definitely consider coming back!"

"Really enjoyed our stay! The lodge was lovely, peaceful and perfect for relaxing. Cartmel's nearby too."
Oliver - Sep 2024
"We had such a lovely time at Romney Lodge! Its super cosy, spotlessly clean and just the right size for us. The hot tub was a real highlight. Walking into Cartmel was nice but probably better during the day - its about a mile, so not ideal after dark. Wed definitely come back for another romantic escape!"
Emma - Sep 2024
"We've been lucky enough to stay at Meadows End three times now, each time trying a different lodge, but Shetl really stole our hearts. The location at the end of the park is just perfect-super private with stunning views over the trees, making it ideal for wildlife spotting. We loved the frequent visits from birds and the cheeky squirrels that always kept us entertained. Seeing a family of deer most days and even a badger one night was just amazing! The lodge itself is really well-equipped; comfy sofas, cosy bedrooms and all the essentials, including a washing machine which was a lifesaver. When the weather turned chilly, it felt really snug. The hot tub is in a lovely spot for privacy and gazing into the woods, which we adored. Cartmel is just a short walk away, with plenty of pubs and eateries-so nice to step out and have everything within reach. Were already looking forward to coming back for our fourth visit!"
Emily - Sep 2024
"We had a lovely week here! The hot tub was a real highlight, so relaxing. It was just what we needed. Definitely planning to return soon - highly recommend for a cosy getaway."

"Great stay, would recommend definitely"
Emma Carter - Sep 2024
"We had such a lovely time at this peaceful little spot. The site was super quiet, perfect for unwinding. The lodge itself was really well-equipped - we appreciated the little touches like the milk in the fridge and the tea and coffee supplies, which made settling in so much easier. The hot tub was definitely a highlight; it was cleaned and refilled a few times during our 7-night stay, which was just right. We loved how private it was, no one overlooking us at all. The lodge was spacious and came with handy bits like a tea towel, washing up liquid and dishwasher tabs - small things but really thoughtful. Only thing wed suggest is clearer signage because it was a bit tricky to find on arrival. The beds were a bit on the firmer side, but thats personal preference. Overall, a fab stay!"
Emma Thornton - Aug 2024
"Absolutely loved our stay at Herdwick Lodge! Everything was smooth from booking to checkout. The place was perfect and the complimentary sticky toffee pudding was a lovely touch. Highly recommend!"
Emily Carter - Aug 2024
"Beautiful spot, comfy lodge, perfect for exploring the Lake District! Highly recommend."
Emma Carter - Aug 2024
"The lodge was really lovely and had everything we needed for a nice stay. Wed definitely come back, but probably in a different one. The only downside was its location - it was so shady, we didnt see any sunshine, even when the weather was hot! Definitely worth a visit though."
Emma - Aug 2024
"Had a lovely relaxing holiday very quiet and private the only thing is the lodge is a little dated compared to others but this wouldn't stop me returning as it has everything else such as location privacy and peace"

"Beautiful lodge had everything we could of needed, clean, tidy and a great location"
Francesca - Jul 2022
"It's a beautiful location and we loved the lodge, although there are a few niggles but I think it's just wear and tear but nothing serious.
It's well equipped and we had everything we needed. The weather was beautiful and we spent hours in the garden watching the beautiful birds drink from the water feature.
We walked into Cartmel once but then the races were on and we decided to stay away from the crowds as we had our dog with us.
The garden is not enclosed so perhaps be aware you will always need to watch over them while sitting outside. This wasn't a problem though and we are looking to return this year. Absolutely loved it."
Janet - Jul 2022
"We had a lovely holiday . The lodge was comfortable and had been equipped to a high standard . Hot tub was amazing . Sparkly and clean . The only thing I would have liked was a gate each end of decking to make a small area dog secure . We would book again in a heart beat . Thank you"
Philippa - Jul 2022
"The Lodges overall quite good. The set up of lodges was well thought out."
