“I was disappointed that after arriving back to the cottage late last night there was no hot water.”

I felt it too late to call the owner.

I felt it too late to call the owner. I set off early this morning and still no hot water so unfortunately this really spoilt my trip

“The grounds were an unexpected bonus.”

The setting was amazing.

Mrs Hardman September 2020

“I booked this cottage without reading the reviews, if I had I would not of stayed there .”

I would recommend that you speak to your clients, and tell them to paint the house throughout , and new carpets as the house smells musky . This could be fantastic property if it had some TLC , the only part of the house that felt clean is the bathroom which was beautiful and the location was lovely.

Ms Hodkinson September 2020

“Coach House was as we expected.”

We had only seen 1 positive review but I can now make that 2. The cottage is quite dinky like a 1 up 1 down. Ground floor was an all in one sitting area with sofa and 2 chairs, kitchen area and a Gateleg dining table and 2 chairs. Stairs are up from the sitting room straight into bedroom. The bed was very comfortable although we would have preferred a larger size. The ensuite was nice. The cottage was very clean and the only problem we had was a bee nest in the flu allowing bees to come down into the cottage. We did ring the owner. I did think the ground floor was cluttered. Maybe a more comfortable sofa and just 1 chair. Also the table was too big when extended. As the cottage sleeps just 2 people, perhaps less furniture downstairs would be better. We had just 3 nights there with our young cocker spaniel and really enjoyed it. Cute cottage in lovely surroundings. Will definitely be back.

Mr Robinson August 2020

“The cottage is in a fantastic location.”

The grounds and in particular the walled garden are beautful and peaceful. We had seen some poor reviews of the Coach house on other sites. All I would say is the cottage was perfect for us and our dog. Dont be put off by poor reviews. This place is wonderful and very well located for the Lake District attractions.

Mrs Bodman August 2019

“The coach house, stayed August 2019.”

The positives:The location of this property was great and there was the comforting smell of bleach in the bathroom when you arrived. Tea and coffee were also provided. The negatives: No welcome pack despite it being referred to and neighbours during stay had no pack either so no helpful hints on things to do in the area. The bed was also extremely hard and uncomfortable. There were no matches to light the gas fire. The biggest problem was the bath - there was no shower and the bath was fed by a tank which had an emersion heater at the top. Consequently only about a third of the tank would actually heat up. This made it impossible to have a warm bath as after the water got about a couple of inches deep the hot water would stop and the tap would feed in cold water. Therefore if you were not right on top of it you lost all the heat in the water already in the bath. I finally managed a luke warm bath by repeated filling the kettle. As a result we left a night early. Due to the way the boiler is heated this is going to be an issue until it is replaced.

- Mrs Bodman, August 2019
Mr Makepeace June 2019

“Although it is a lovely cottage in a lovely setting (the walled garden is beautiful), the whole cottage needs a thorough cleaning and a bit if TLC, in particular the paint work and the kitchen, especially the cooker which I really didn't feel happy to use.”

Also the roll top bath looked fab but the shower didn't work properly, the water was either scalding hot or freezing cold. One of the biggest issues was that there was no WIFI, despite the website description stating there was. The location is beautiful and a short distance from the village, but you'd be taking your life on your hands if you decide to walk on the road. Overall it must have been a lovely cottage once but now feels a bit unloved. Not sure we'd go back.

- Mr Makepeace, June 2019
Mrs Corless October 2018

“Only there 2 nights, and as I have not been feeling very well the cottage was booked to relax and especially relax in the bath as I only have a shower at home.”

After one bath on the Saturday night then we could only receive cold water.... 2 phone calls later the owner rang back saying he would get his man on to it in the morning.... problem is..... we had to vacate by 10am.... so no bath and no man arrived. The owner was supprised I had not mentioned it to him when I passed him earlier in the day, may be if he had actually introduced himself it might have been a differant situation. ..... it's a pity as It is a beautiful place .... but feel no value for money.

- Mrs Corless, October 2018
Ms Hodgson September 2018

“The location is outstanding for a couple looking for peace and quiet.”

The walled garden to be remembered for all time. I will certainly return. Peehaps there could be a little more equipment in the kitchen. We loved the rabbits, squirrels and pheasants. A jewel of a property.

- Ms Hodgson, September 2018
Mrs Bogle April 2018

“The location and setting was ideal for a dog friendly break.”

Some of the furniture needs some attention or replacement as both settee, chairs and dining chairs were uncomfortable. Plus deeper cleaning in bathroom. Location and nearby facilities were excellent, good weather and an enjoyable break.

- Mrs Bogle, April 2018
Mr Ollerenshaw March 2018

“The setting is perfect however one or two possible improvements ...”

The setting is perfect however one or two possible improvements The settee is not comfortable at all The gas fire is unpredictable and doesn’t throw out much warmth It would have been helpful to know that the main road to Windermere was closed during our stay The signage to the property is difficult to see at night and is set back from the road I suspect most people drive past before realising

- Mr Ollerenshaw, March 2018
Mr Wyatt March 2018

“The property was fair but there were a several things that could have a Lot Better, the arm chairs and couch were well by their comfort date !”

!! we had to build up the base of the arm chairs so that we could have some comfort. the cooker was well worn and the igniter knob was missing and we couldn't find any other means of lighting the cooker or fire. T The bed was very comfortable and attractive and the house was clean. The facilities round about were excellent there are several good restaurants in Cartmel and all reasonably priced all in all it was an enjoyable holliday.

- Mr Wyatt, March 2018
Mr Moore February 2018

“Landlord Martin was very hepful on our arrival.”

Very nice cottagd that was well presented. A light at the entrance from the road would have been very hepful at night.

Mr Swift June 2017

“What an amazing place this is.”

The location, set way back off the main road, is in a beautiful setting surrounded by a beautiful countryside with the sound of bleeding lambs all round, birds singing in the morning.....heaven. The cottage is a lovely one bedroomed, fully furnished piece of country. Beautifully laid out with all the amenities required for your stay. We loved it there and didn't want to leave. If you have dogs, it's an ideal are for some lovely walks. The beautiful village of Carmel is just a little walk away with places to eat and drink. The locals are very friendly and had a lot of fun talking to them, so friendly. Loved it.

- Mr Swift, June 2017
Mr Ducker March 2017

Mrs Burns August 2016

Mrs Brown July 2016

“The Coach House was very cozy and inviting and comfortable!”

The Cartmel area is so beautiful. We loved the fireplace and what my daughter called "the princess bed." It was a great location to escape and relax.

Mrs Redding May 2016

“Furnishing tired but fitted well with cottage and having two dogs who were made as welcome as us was ideal.”

Would definitely recommend for dog friendly holiday. Gardens beautiful. Would definitely go again.

- Mrs Redding, May 2016
Ms Barnes February 2016

“What a delightful little cottage with plenty of character.”

We made good use of the The downstairs living area made good use of the space for lounging ,cooking and dinning. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking your own meals and there was plenty of room for storing groceries. The bedroom was unique and very cosy with a comfortable four posted bed, plenty of storage space too. The bathroom had a modern touch but fitted in well with the character of the cottage and the lovely deep bath with plenty of piping hot water was just what you need after a day out walking. The walk to the top of Hampsfell, which was straight from the cottage door, was exceptional and the view at the top was well worth the climb. An excellent cosy cottage for two which I will certainly recommend to friends .

Mr Robinson October 2015

“The Coach House was all I ever thought a cottage should be.”

It was absolutely beautiful and it was in the most beautiful setting. I just cannot put into words just how perfect this cottage was and I really appreciate the owners allowing me to rent it for a short while. The weekend will stay with me and my wife to be for the rest of our lives. Thanks a million.

“longlands cottages,Stress free weekend, self catering at its best”

The Game Keeper's Retreat, Longlands at Cartmel Sleeps two, with separate kitchen. Ideal for the dog , we've been visiting here for fifteen years now and it just gets better with time. With huge gardens to walk the dog and everything you need on arrival. The cottage was spotlessly clean and we didn't have to ask for anything once, living in the old cottage atmosphere with all of the modern luxuries combined with the newly refurbished kitchen and two person bath / shower room and the fantastic king sized bed. If you want to take the beloved dogs then this is the place for us, the most pet friendly hotel in the Lakes without the usual hassles associated with weekend breaks. The newly rebuilt barn is a feature on its own just adds character to the place and the addition of the new greenhouses and conservatory will just add even more character to the fantastic walled Edwardian Kitchen Garden. A great location for a base to explore the south Lakes with excellent amenities and super food at the nearby Derby Arms in Lindale....cant wait until our next visit...............................

Ms Prew April 2015

“A very quiet and relaxing location with easy access to attractions but remote enough to be out of the hustle and bustle.”

The cottage was great for my solo break but equally good for a couple. The bed was very comfortable and the roll top bath a real luxury.

Miss Barron April 2014

“We had a fantastic time.”

The cottage was lovely, cosy and homely and the grounds really fabulous. We loved the feeling of freedom. The countryside around the cottage is stunning, with a fell right out of the back gate which we climbed every day for views over the estuary on one side and over to the Conniston mountains on the other. The dog loved it - so much space to run around! It was perfect for us and we will be booking again next year. The perfect break and just what we needed!

- Miss Barron, April 2014
