“Such a lovely idyllic cottage, very quiet, fantastic scenery and great walks.”

We are regular visitors. Great to find somewhere that allows dogs too!

“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.

“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.
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.

“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.
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.
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 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 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.

“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...............................
