Egg Pudding Stone

Lovely accommodation in a good location.

Plumbing could do with looking at, noisy flushing the toilet. Garden lovely size with seating areas, some a bit overgrown.

Lovely and comfortable and very quiet dogs loved the garden although I didn't find the 3.

5 acre garden there was some sheds the otherside of a gate and a wooded area where someone else was so didn't like to explore. Everything we needed was there and colour coordinated which was better than a lot of places we've stopped in. Bed was comfy we slept very well. There was tea, coffee, sugar and some very tasty biscuits. Also good WIFI the TV was streaming only but wasn't a problem for us gave us a chance to catch up on some series. I can recommend the cottage.

Gardens amazing for dogs.

Cottage lovely, had everything we needed. Slabs around ornamental pond need to be secured.Dog fell in, and then owner fell in when trying to retrieve said dog.The slab tipped up, all slabs were loose. Nothing more than a dunking on this occasion but could be dangerous for children.

we had a great stay at EPS our dogs loved the garden.

We had a lovely stay, thank you.

A great location for a flying and accessible trip to the Lakes! Only issue was the lack of any sort of curtain/blind in the second bedroom which meant the room was incredibly light - as a result the children got very limited sleep!

Liked the cottage but stayed 2 days out of 4 nights fell onto bathroom floor because of a small step don’t really see or notice it bathroom has stone floor, very comfy bed and sofas, the grass area for dogs is away from the door, my two tiny Shih Tzu could escape in the grass area, didn’t let my shar pei off the lead because of the prickly hedges she tried to get under, taking them out during the day and night time on leads.

Great if the patio area was fenced off. Keyholder Helen was brilliant top notch.

Very comfortable and well equipped.

The dogs loved being able to run around safe and secure.

We absolutely loved the place.

..it was amazing inside and out....great for the dogs to roam around the grounds. Will definitely be booking up again.

Enjoyed our stay, log burner made it very cosy and homely, dogs loved the secure large garden.

We absolutely loved EPS, it was a perfect retreat for us and our 4 labradors.

The dogs loved the big garden, plenty of wonderful walks & beaches nearby for them. The cottage is very comfy, lovely log burner & everything we needed pretty much. We could have done with a hose outside to rinse off the dogs but we found a watering can which did the job. We brought food with us but there are plenty of places to get food & takeaways not too far and the cottage is so close to Cartmel so of course we had to buy sticky toffee pudding !!!!! We thoroughly recommend this cottage and we will definitely be back , thankyou, Sam, Gaz, Leia, Maggie, Sadie & Rosie xxx

Lovely property with a great outdoor space which the dogs loved.

Not a problem for us as it was just a short stay, but if staying a week or more a washer/dryer in the utility room would be useful. Surprisingly good broadband speed for a rural area.

We had an issue on arriving as no key in the key safe.

A phone call a within the hour it was sorted. Also a problem with fencing again not a prior us but was sorted the same day. An amazing place to stay and would highly recommend

Review done before we left - on site book.

We had a wonderful holiday at Egg Pudding Stone.

The grounds were amazing and a real treat for our 4 elderly rescue dogs. There was just one area at the back of the paddock by the road ( wall has fallen down) that wasn't secure if you have a dog that can climb logs. The cottage had everything we needed. An excellent place to have your holiday.

Great place in a lovely area.

The building was lovely and the grounds were fantastic with plenty of space for both us and the dog to explore. Thoroughly recommended!!

Our second visit to Egg Puddingstone.

Loved it just as much as before. Great property, so homely & peaceful. Amazing gardens, enjoyed watching the bird life. Dogs loved it too. Great location for Southern Lake District. Cartmel is a gem of a village. Negatives are, limited t.v access & no washing machine. Would have rebooked, but feel that next year's prices are now too high, so regrettably have booked elsewhere.

Beautiful cottage, set in lovely grounds.

The bed in the bed in the main bedroom was so comfortable. It's a lovely relaxing, cosy cottage. The only problem we found was there's nothing in walking distance. You have to drive everywhere. The nearest shop that we found was at the service station 10 mins down the road. Nearest Aldi was in Ulverston which again is at least 30 mins away. Maybe a washing machine in the utility room would be a good idea as there isn't one available in this cottage. My dog did have a bit of an accident and ripped his dew claw so we referred to the owners manual and contacted the vets. Archway vets were brilliant, they sorted his dew claw and he was back to normal the next day. Personally we found walks and shops were too far away compared to other lodges we have stayed at. But if you want a nice relaxing stay and you dont want to go far you can't really go wrong with this cottage.

We had a lovely stay at Egg Pudding Stone, the house is well equipped and comfortable.

The garden is well secured for dogs but given the fact it is dog friendly I’m not sure why there is a pond. The only other comment I would make is a few pretty summer flowers on the patio would be nice. Overall I would still highly recommend this cottage.

We had a wonderful stay with our friends and children.

It's a lovely cottage in driving distance to lots of places. The only downside is they don't provide you with basic things like toilet paper. After a long drive coming to the cottage to find a quarter of a roll was not helpful.

Lovely cottage, but could do with some TLC.

Overall a really relaxing ideal location. The garden was fantastic for our elderly dogs to potter. We definitely plan to return next year!

Egg Pudding Stone is situated in a great location and a short distance from the village of Cartmell, with all its facilities, although not walkable, as the road can be quite busy and their are no footpaths.

The cottage itself, in our opinion, is in need of some much needed TLC. The butler sink in the Kitchen would be better suited as a planter for garden plants, as it is very badly stained and chipped. The taps in the kichen are loose and the radiators in the bathroom and main bedroom are chipped and rusty. The outside wooden table needs some serious attention and the bird table on the patio has not even got a table on it and needs throwing away. Overall the property needs some serious updating and a thorough clean. I appreciate the garden at this time of year is not at its best, however, there are strings of lights hanging up which are inoperative and some broken ones lying on the floor. I know there was no washing machine listed at the property, but i feel in all honesty it would benefit from having one, especially if guests are staying for a week. I have written this as an honest and fair review of the property and our stay. If the issues i have raised are addressed, i would certainly return, but as it stands at present, i'm afraid i would not and would not recommend it to any family and friends.

Nice cottage thank you.

Needs updating in places. Would be nice to have a welcome pack on arrival - Milk & Bread mainly, especially for those travelling from a long way away. Handy location to get to places too. Nice 2 day break though, much needed.

This was our second time staying at egg pudding stone cottage and again it was fabulous this cottage is amazing it’s good for if you want a chill day staying in the cottage or really good for visiting the Lake District and surrounding areas.

Can’t wait to book for next year.

The cottage has great potential but is in desperate need of repair and a lick of paint.

The extensive grounds are brilliant if you have children or dogs with you. The cleanliness of the cottage really needs to be looked at. We had to clean the kitchen before we could put food away. Could do with more storage space in the kitchen. The beds are amazing and incredibly comfortable- and the bedding is of exceptional standard (I noted the make so I could get some for home!). Definitely get some sticky toffee pudding from the cartmel village shop - it will not disappoint.

The cottage is a lovely size and the enclosed garden is great for dogs.

Was disappointed that a pint of milk wasn't left...after a 7.5hr drive all we wanted was a cup of tea but had to wait until we had unloaded and travelled to a shop. The 4.5 tog duvet wasn't warm enough for mid January even with the blanket throws. The panel heater in the bedroom hadn't been checked to make sure the time was set right so the programme did come on when needed... Overall a really nice holiday stay...a few minor improvements would have made it nicer.

We loved this charming, traditional cottage which catered so well for both 2 and 4 legged guests.

The large, secure garden is particularly nice, and allowed for informal ‘walks’ at both ends of the day, which our dogs adored. The cottage was beautifully warm. Only issue we found was that it was hard to run a hot bath ( however, there is still an adequate shower). We’ll be back.

Lovely cottage equipped with everything we needed.

Christmas tree was up making it festive. Garden was great for the dogs and will look stunning in summer. Close to Cartmel and Grange but away from the hustle and bustle.

What a lovely cottage, so well stocked with everything you need for your stay.

We have never stayed in a place that had everything we needed. The garden was just perfect for our 3 dogs and they loved exploring all the nooks and crannies there was. The garden extended out behind a wooden gate with another field they could run about in. Anthony and Helen checked on us when we arrived to make sure all was OK. A lovely patio which would be glorious in the summer with all the flowering flowers and shrubs. So many places to visit and beaches to walk the dogs. Whoever goes there in the future remember to try the sticky toffee pudding from the local shop in Cartmel, it is sooooo yummy. I have no hesitation in recommending this cottage. The only thing I could say , is maybe a couple of recycling bins in the kitchen next to the fridge would have helped us to be more efficient with the recycling. If you have already booked to go, enjoy it, I'm sure you will.

Lovely stay at Egg pudding stone.

Comfortable cottage and beautiful garden. We even had good weather after being drenched the first day. Everything you would want in a cottage, although a washing machine in the utility would be nice but did not detract from our stay. Doggy treats and blankets for our greyhound were a welcome extra. All in all well worth a visit

Fantastic cottage!

! Beautiful setting and the garden is amazing super dog friendly. Everything is so well kept and maintained. New sofas and TV are lovely. The bed was so comfy and its huge!! Set in a great location close to village pubs, cafes and shop. Great base for Lake windermere and many other attractions. Our only thing missing would be a washing machine but it's no biggie. We loved it and would definitely go back. Thanks :)

So pleased we found this place.

It was just perfect. The cutest cottage with a fantastic living room, dining room and kitchen space. At no point did we feel like it was missing anything. It’s in a great location for getting to lots of places in the lakes. The garden is stunning! And fully enclosed which was perfect for Finn the greyhound who absolutely loved his first holiday. We had a great week staying at Egg Pudding Stone and wouldn’t hesitate to book again if we were going back to the area. Thank you!

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful place, so peaceful.

The garden was great, our dogs loved exploring. New sofas and new TV with freeview. Great place to relax and unwind

A lovely place to stay.

A real home from home and very dog friendly. Beautiful gardens and a great location.

Great location.

Secluded private garden. Spacious cosy cottage in a need of little facelift to meet luxury status. Very good for dogs.

Generally excellent experience however some points to be picky about!

Sofas were very low and especially difficult to get up from. During our stay we were made aware that they were to be replaced, Despite being told that they were to deliver the replacement on two dates, nothing actually arrived, Helen and Anthony also advised that action had already been taken to rectify an issue ourselves and previous users had suggested would be beneficial, the provision of a grab rail to help getting in and out of the bath, This was also in hand with the provision of a suction device that had been acquired. Anthony suggested he would fit the device when the couches were delivered. I suggested I could fit the device for him. This I did but it fell off during the night! Despite re-fitting it the following morning it still fell off again. I believe the existing tiles allow a degree of breatheability resulting in the suction loosing pressure, A physical means of fixture would be required. Another issue was the use of an Amazon account to operate the TV. This was a pain in the neck as was the size of the TV which was felt to be far too small for the size of the room in which it would be viewed. Access to the utility room was also an issue! Not only was the lock difficult to operate the whole door frame assembly has reached the end of it's serviceable life and requires renewal. The last point for providing and extra facility would be the provision of an external clothes line to dry clothes that might washed, especially for guests like us who stayed for two weeks!

Lovely cottage in a stunning location.

Very peaceful. The only things to further improve this would be to replace the sofas (too low and cushions are tired). Curtains or privacy screen on the main door glass panels. Overall it was a very good experience.

Television needs replacing and probably a lick of paint, a tidy up outside and new outside furniture especially table

At first the accommodation was adequate, however we had to call the keyholder out to set the TV up.

It required an amazon account .(Alien to us).Also the TV was too small for the size of the room, it had to be brought forward for us to have a decent-ish viewing. The settees had been well used and as my husband is disabled found it very difficult to get out of so we had to improve the comfort by putting some cushions in place to make it easier. On one occasion a small plastic bottle top fell under the floor standing cupboard and finding something to check under the cupboard out came, along with the said top, part of a broken plate, some doggie treats and other bits. So can only assume the floor had only been surface cleaned and not swept underneath. We were somewhat disappointed, and so decided to leave 2 nights earlier than we had booked for.

Absolutely perfect stay comfortable clean and excellent for dogs.

Gardens a joy to wander around. Ideally situated for the Lakes, Cartmel and Grange over Sands. Couldn't fault our holiday thank you

This is a good cottage and excellent garden.

The tv is not upto scratch being on amazon only such a faf having to log in set up profile. Its screen too small for size of room. The sofa's are too low you have to climb out of them. The smaller bedroom has no window and double bed is only accessible on one side. The large bedroom has damp patch in corner attracting a few woodlice. We did enjoy our stay however but the above comments need attention.

The property was lovely and great for dogs.

TV took some sorting out, we had to.use our own Amazon account to log in. We are not too technical but by day 2 we were up and running. There isn't a washing machine but we took enough clothes to manage. One safety aspect, it could do with a grab rail in the shower as had to climb over the bath. All in all had a lovely relaxing week.

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 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.

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

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!!

Very nice and quiet place, dog friendly.

Our little Yorkies loved it. Easy travel to all Lake walks. Felt very home like. Definitely would love to come back during summer. Owners were very friendly and helpful.

We loved staying at Egg pudding stone cottage, it was was so lovely we had one day where we stayed in the cottage hist rest due to stone and was lovely outside perfect for a break to rest and unwind and if you want a busy holiday sightseeing you can get out about we went to all the lakes and to beach and then back was in great location .

Teddy our labradoodle loved rhe patio doors to watch the birds and have sniffs in the garden. Was an amazing holiday and will definitely be coming back

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

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.

Such an amazing place, warm, clean, cosy and comfortable.

Had a great 3 night stay, even my fur baby was relaxed and chilled. We will be back.

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!)

This was a wonderful place to stay … the garden is massive and our dogs loved it ….

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

First class accommodation apart from shower being a bit weak, everything else was great and a really nice location really enjoyed our stay even though the weather could have been a little better, would certainly recommend to anyone going to this area.

Very nice, comfortable property with everything we needed for our stay.

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.

The cottage was very clean and comfortable.

it was situated in beautiful grounds.had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable and memorable. We will definitely be back for another holiday.
