"If you looking for a peaceful chilled out stay then this is the place."

The lodge is very spacious and clean. The outdoor decking area at rear is not overlooked by any other lodge and the hot tub is a great bonus. Owners very friendly and helpful. Didn’t want to leave! Would definitely recommend this oasis

"A great holiday home to spend some time relaxing in beautiful peaceful surroundings."

The owners popped in to show us how Hot Tub worked and to check everything was as expected, which it was. Great location to walk into Cartmel to visit the many pubs and restaurants.

Thank you for your feedback. I had a feeling you would both love Cartmel. It was lovely to meet you both Property Owner

"We stayed at fern lodge with 2 young children 15 months & 5 months and we were so pleased."

The lodge is a great size even with all our travel cots etc. The outdoor area that comes with the lodge was great, including the enclosed garden at the back with the hot tub in. Helen and her husband were friendly and answered any questions we had. The caravan site was quiet and clean. We will definitely be back.

"The cottage provides a spacious and relaxing place, with lots of flexibility for the weather."

The location is quiet, but in a stones throw of both Cartmel, with lots of food and drink options, and Grange Over Sands, which is a hidden gem. I would gladly have stayed for another week as the lodge was so comfortable and there was so much to do. My recommendations for visitors are Cartmel Cheese Company, cookies from Simon Rogan Home, a train ride to Ulverston for Laurel and Hardy fans and the lakes themselves.

"We had a great time staying at Fern Lodge."

It was an excellent space for our family of 4 to base ourselves whilst exploring the Lake District. The lodge is well designed and furnished to a high standard. There are lots of spaces outside the lodge to relax in comfy chairs to soak up the sun. It was spotlessly clean too. A good soak in the hot tub in the private garden was the perfect end to each day. We would highly recommend Fern Lodge!

Had a lovely holiday here, Helen and Mark gave us lots of info on where we were staying, places to eat and visit, lovely hosts. The hot tub was amazing and very private, the little extras that were left for us , especially the cartmel sticky toffee pudding was delicious. We would definitely recommend to friends and family and would love to come back in the future.

"Fern lodge is very spacious exceptionally clean."

It had everything we needed. The hot tub is a big bonus. The Owners were lovely. Nothing was a problem. They gave us info on the area. The only negative thing I would say is the shower temperature it goes very hot or cold it was very hard to get the right temperature. This would not put us off going again though as the rest of the holiday was perfect. It is very central for getting about. We traveled around quite easily. Thank you for a lovely week.

"My friend and I found the property very well appointed, comfortable and clean."

There was one issue about which we contacted the owners. The extractor fan for the family bathroom does not activate automatically when one turns on the light. We were told that one has to press the switch above the door which is very high up. My friend could just about reach it but I could not. I don't think many people would guess its location without enquiring. Before knowing this I was concerned that the bathroom would eventually succumb to damp issues! Also the shower, if left on the hook, floods the bathroom as the pressure is so powerful the water bounces off the opposite wall onto the floor! Probably the fitting of the shower needs adjusting so as the water flows downwards. I unhooked it when using the shower so as I could control the direction of flow. A stool of some kind could be useful in the lodge for those of us who are not 6ft blokes! A few more mugs would be useful, especially for a party of 4. Oh, and one last thing. The sheep at the bottom of the drive is missing her lamb. What has happened to it? Great place, I will recommend it to anyone who wishes to stay somewhere quiet in the Cartmel area. Regards Hilary Wileman x

Thank you for your feedback, we will endeavour to check the controls on the shower head as we have not had this issue reported before. If we can’t reduce the pressure we will try a different head. I am glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for choosing fern lodge Property Owner

"I’m reluctant to give a good review as I don’t want more competition to book this fabulous lodge in the future!"

The lodge is spacious, very clean and tastefully decorated and designed. The exterior is in our view better than the pictures suggest with the location of the lodge perfect for evening sun and very private. The hot tub is an excellent addition. The lodge location is spot on; a quiet location on the outskirts of Cartmel which has so much to it including a great breakfast (and cheese shop!). Helen and Mark are friendly, welcoming and accommodating. On top of all this, the sun shone all week! If you’re looking for somewhere to stay for a family of four in the south part of the Lakes, you’ll struggle to find a better lodge than this.

Thank you for your lovely feedback. I am glad you liked the style and design of our lodge. The site is very peaceful as you have said. We look forward to seeing you back later in the year. Glad you eventually visited the very lovely Cartmel Helen and Mark Property Owner
