Low Longlands Reviews

Sandra
Lovely lodge, with relaxing views and hot tub. Weather was quite good so enjoyed the outdoor space and hot tub daily robes provided & even booked the sauna. Towels provided Spotless Well equipped Lodge, decent size fridge, comfortable double bed with useful info and maps. Limited hanging space. Cartmel well worth a visit day and evening. We ate out in Cartmel 3 out of 4 nights excellent choices but book ahead. Drove as no paths and 30 mins walk, but managed to book taxi for last night with Grange Taxis 8 each way. Very handy for Lake Windermere. Friendly owner who regularly checks hot tub and so helpful. Loved our stay.
Natalie
This is the second time we stayed at Longlands farm retreat. The accommodations are amazing, and well equipped. The host is very helpful and accommodating. The views from the accommodations are just stunning and so peaceful. It It was a very relaxing break..
Amazing accomodation! Peaceful and quiet yet not far from anywhere. Would reccomend and would visit again next time.
Excellent few days at low Longlands cabin, owners were really friendly and helpful, cabin was clean and had everything we needed, hot tub was great and the view was an added bonus. We will definitely be returning.
The accommodation was so beautiful and exactly as describedshown in the listing. The owner was so kind and welcoming, she introduced herself as soon as we got there, she gave us all the information about our stay, how to book the sauna, and any good places to go to in the area to have a full weekend of activities. The views were stunning, me and my partner had such a relaxing weekend, very enjoyable and would love to book again in the future!
Debbie
Wonderful accommodation, so peaceful and everything catered for. The hot tub, as bespoke, large and warm. Our second visit and we will be back. Thank you Louise owner for another restful stay.
Stewart
Absolutely beautiful! We had the best time staying here for a long weekend. Quiet, private and lovely place to stay. Would definitely recommend.
Elliott
Amazing location and had everything we needed and more! Perfect for exploring the Lake District or just relaxing at the lodge, would highly recommend and will definitely stay again!
Mollie
Amazing stay, lovely scenery and great hosts. Will definitely be returning.
Debbie
Absolutely perfect. Very clean and comfortable. Booking went smoothly as did our arrival. The pod was spotlessly clean, hot tub lovely and warm and the owner was lovely and helpful too. Milk & sticky toffee pudding in fridge for our arrival. .
Absolutely loved our stay at Middle Longlands! The pod was cozy and comfortable, and the hot tub was the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring. The facilities were topnotch, and the views were simply breathtaking. But what really made our stay special was the exceptional hospitality from Louise. She went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, and her recommendations for walks and local attractions were invaluable. The walks around the area were fabulous, and we enjoyed every moment of our stay. If you're looking for a relaxing and rejuvenating getaway, look no further than Middle Longlands. We'll definitely be back!
Joe was very welcoming and friendly. The whole view, location and cottage was absolutely amazing, we will be returning at some point in the future with friends. The surprise treats in the fridge were a perfect touch.
We had a thoroughly fantastic time at Low Longlands. The Pod is so comfortable and has everything you need for a perfect stay. The hot tub is total luxury and the welcome touches left for your arrival by Louise make you feel valued and start your stay of perfectly. We cannot compliment Longlands Farm Luxury Retreats enough. The views from your pod are stunning, this is a truly magical place. We have already booked to return.
Booked for my wife's 50th birthday. I would love to say it was an awful experience and no one should go but it's the most amazing place! So quiet and peaceful and and the pod lived up to our expectations and more. Louise was on hand if required but if not it was a very solitude place unless there was an issue. We have not been away and felt so exhausted from doing nothing but enjoying our own company for a while and was sorry to leave but look forward to booking it again as soon as we can. Kind regards Colin and Marie Sawyer
Hayley
Staying at low Longlands was just perfect, the views were amazing! ! My morning route was to open the blinds and just watch the sheeplambs and cows, it was so quiet and relaxing!! The hot tub is a perfect touch with the scenery, we just lay there looking out onto the fields and hills. I have already mentioned to members of my family about a couple of us going back together as it was so nice. Thank you for letting us stay we loved spending our honeymoon here
Ayesha
Stayed for 4 nights. It was absolutely beautiful, we got lucky with the weather and it was sunny, which made the stay even more wonderful. The view from the lodge is breathtaking and seeing the little lambs run around the property made the experience. The owner of the property was ever so accommodating and was a lovely Lady that went above and beyond.
Oliver
Wonderful stay. Would highly recommend and would love to come back again. Loved getting in in the hot tub in the late evening after busy days out. All the facilities you need, beautiful location and Louise was very helpful. The sole thing I could think of was the mattress was a tad soft and pillows needed a bit more support but that could be put down to person preference. Look forward to staying again.
Stephen
Great place in a great locationwould definitely book again !
Me and my fianc couldnt have asked for a better weekend away. The lodge was spotless, the hot tub was perfect and the views were stunning. Great hospitality which gave you privacy but were there to accommodate you for anything. We are already planning on booking again!
Charlie
We had an excellent stay, beautiful location near a local village, our hosts were welcoming and available when required, the hot tub and log burner are a fantastic addition to a relaxing weekend we definitely needed! Highly recommend, we have already booked to be back in the summer!
The lodge was lovely and clean with everything that you could need. The hot tub was well maintained and the log fire was a very nice addition.
Bradley
Absolutely perfect loved our get away just one thing to improve on is some sort ... Absolutely perfect loved our get away just one thing to improve on is some sort of shelter over the hot tub so that we could use it in the rain but 1010 definitely recommend
We had such an amazing weekend, the cabin had the most stunning views. The cabin itself was super clean & modern, the hot tub was also great! The owners were absolutely lovely and so willing to help, which only made our stay even better. We would definitely return here & have already recommended it to our friends & family!
Beautiful accommodation, Louise was extremely attentive and professional, no request was too much trouble. The accommodation itself was pristine, extremely clean and well maintained and the onboarding instructions were clear and thorough. It was exactly as the listed. It's a shame we couldn't have stayed for longer! Would highly recommended to anyone look for a stay in the lake district and we'll definitely be back soon!
Holiday pods and surroundings were first class.
Dulcie
Very clean and tidy accommodation. Very courteous hosts who provided little touches that were very appreciated. Mine and my partners first holiday together and it was such a wonderful stay that will be memorable looking back. We had initially intended to do a lot of hiking and sightseeing, but we spent majority of the time on the deck, in the hot tub and enjoying the room and the views. I have recommended this accommodation to many of my friends and family who all have loved our pictures of the stay and want to book too. We had a wonderful time and the accommodation was wonderful, couldnt have had a better holiday!
A great stay, great location. We had a really good 3 night stay and would definitely look to book again next year
Shannon
We loved our stay, hot tub with beautiful views, amazing place and so! Louise was so welcoming and helpful. We would definitely stay again.
Louise
We have just returned from a weekend at Low Longlands and wow what a weekend. The accommodation is excellent, the location is perfect and Louise couldnt do enough for you. We had the perfect weekend and cant wait to return. Thank you Louise
Michael
We have just returned from a weeks stay and could not fault Low Longlands wonderfully located in peaceful surroundings with beautiful views. Louise was an exceptional host who runs things perfectly, very attentive, friendly and available daily to offer advice or information. We received a well detailed email from Louise prior to our arrival which covered all of the essential information and also provided a good insight into local amenities. Hot tub was wonderful and Louise checked water condition daily. We will definitely be returning and would recommend this to anyone many thanks Louise and see you again when we return Mick and Karen
We absolutely loved our stay, the lodge has everything you could need and the views from it are so lovely and peaceful. Hot tub and bbq are both fantastic.
Lovely lodge with a luxury feel. Louise the host is really friendly and helpful, she was happy to answer any questions we had during our stay. We really enjoyed our stay and can't wait to visit again!
Lovely location with caring and friendly owners would recommend to anyone ... Lovely location with caring and friendly owners would recommend to anyone looking to get away from everything for a few days and simply relax
Very enjoyable stay at Low Longlands. The accommodation was perfect, everything you need. The location and views were stunning. Would 100 recommend.
A beautiful pod in an equally beautiful area. Louise couldn't do enough for us and made sure we had everything we needed. The pod was very comfortable, and everything we needed was provided. Will definitely come back during the summer to hopefully make full use of the BBQ! Thank you for a lovely stay, it was a much needed break for us and we enjoyed our stay very very much.
Daniel
Lovely cabin very clean even provided milk, tea, coffee and biscuits a beer and a small bottle of Prosecco. The owner was lovely. Great views and very peaceful. Oh also loved the hot tub and log burner
Lovely pod, very clean with excellent facilities and a lot warmer than you would think in late November. Things that could have been better the hot tub wasn't private enough. If other pod stayers walked past they would see us and it wasn't very warm so we didn't really use it. It would have been really helpful to have a torch and much clearer instructions in the pod on how to walk to the village also let holiday makers know they will need wellies to cross the stream. But now we know we would stay again thank you for a very friendly welcome!
Rosanna
