  • "This is a superb property."

    Warm, cosy & very welcoming, both to humans & their doggy friends. Appreciated the milk & biscuits etc. The caretakers live next door and were so helpful during our stay. The cottage is in an idylic location & excellent for exploring the southern Lakes. Cartmel is a lovely place to visit. Have already booked again for next year.

    We're very glad you enjoyed your stay, and thank you for the compliment of re-booking! We look forward to seeing you next year. Property Owner

  • "We had a great stay."

    Everything was even better than we expected. The garden was great for dogs and the extra touches like dog blankets and treats were really appreciated. Perfect area for exploring and we loved Cartmel. We don’t usually return to places as we like to have new experiences, but we would love to bring our family back with us next time. Thank you Helen & Anthony.

    So glad you enjoyed your stay with us enough to want to come back. We're sure you'll find more places to explore and enjoy next time too! Property Owner

    Only one bag of logs could have done with more also would help if we could have used washing machine otherwise enjoyed our stay Thankyou

    Glad you enjoyed your stay and thank you for your feedback. We only provide a starter pack of logs, as it is not the main source of heating and not everyone wishes to use the log burner. Providing sufficient wood for a week's stay would increase everyone's rental fee, which is something we have tried to avoid. All other sources of heating are included. Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely week stay here."

    Our children loved it and our dogs loved it. Loved the garden at the back where the dogs could run around. The beds were so comfy we all slept fantastically. We loved coming ‘home’ at the end of a day of travelling around to lighting the fire and cwtching up. I am already looking to book again for next year! Thank you!!

    Sounds like everyone had a great holiday! It will be lovely to see you again another time :-) Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely 2 week stay with our 2 dogs."

    The garden is massive, secure and accessed directly from the house. The drive is gated with mesh on. Gorgeous house and one of the best we have stayed in. No walks directly from the house but Cartmel is less than a minute drive away with parking at Cartmel Racecourse where there are walks in all directions, near to all attractions of the lakes and the zoo is worth a visit. Oh and Cartmel sticky pudding is a must! Fab holiday despite the rain and the stay was made more special by the wonderful hosts Helen and Anthony who went above and beyond to look after us. 100% will be back. Dawn, Neil, Lottie and Cooper

    We're so glad you enjoyed your stay and got to sample the pudding! We look forward to welcoming you and the dogs back another time. Property Owner

  • "The cottage is very well presented and the additional little treats for the dog was a nice touch."

    We found the property very cold at first and even using the log burner didn’t warm up the bathroom or bedroom. Very we equipped kitchen Garden was great for the dog to run around in and location of cottage was good to get around the area.

  • "Fantastic cottage."

    . cosy and confortable… furnished thoughtfully. Incredibly quiet and private. Great location.. easy access to lovely walks and drives and tourist sites. The only disappointment was bit having an enclosed area attached to the cottage. We visited with four dogs and weren’t able to let them out off lead from the cottage meaning they had to be taken out on a lead. The enclosed paddock was great but it was a walk away. A gate ensuring the patio was secure would have been appreciated especially as it was very wet and windy.

  • "The cottage was lovely and in a good location to explore the Lakes."

    My children loved the features in the cottage and outside areas. Lots of heaters to get clothes dry and very comfortable beds! The only thing that I didn't realise was that the garden was not 'connected' to the cottage and was the other side of a barn, so I needed to walk the dogs to the garden and around. If you have a dog that would not try to squeeze under the gate to the road it would be secure to let them go but for our two dogs we needed to keep them on lead (which was really only a pain just before bed and in the night if they needed to go out!)

    Thanks for your feedback. We're glad that you enjoyed your stay. While we have aimed to provide as secure a space as possible for dog owners to relax, it is obviously always going to be down to individual owners to make safety judgements around gates and boundaries based on their knowledge of their own dogs' behaviours and level of training.

    It’s very quiet and cosy…. The cottage had everything we needed and was ideal for a holiday with dogs because of the stone floors … it was nice that the dogs were allowed on the sofas ( using the throws provided ) this made it feel like home from home for them and us … we could relax …. The cottages has a rustic feel … very homely … the bed in the main bedroom was so comfortable … we slept very well and enjoyed watching the birds in the courtyard each morning… we had a lovely holiday … thank you

    Very glad you enjoyed your stay at Egg Pudding Stone, and that your dogs had a good time too. Hopefully see you again another time! Property Owner

    Our two spaniels really enjoyed the freedom to run in the well maintained garden and the woodland area, which was fenced in. Only a few minutes by car to Cartmel. We hope to enjoy a return visit next year.

    So glad humans and spaniels enjoyed the stay! We look forward to welcoming you again soon. Property Owner
