    A beautiful place to stay in a very beautiful part of the UK. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and had an exceedingly homely feel. Would definitely recommend and will definitely book again.

    Lodge was perfect for our new year break, Margaret was a great host and very helpful, we all had a great time dogs included and would highly recommend, nice walks, bar and restaurant good and reasonably priced, couldn't fault it, and the little present left for us on arrival was a nice touch.

    Only thing I would say is if you are thinking of getting a taxi anywhere pre book a few days before as they are normally booked up or not working

    Property was very modern, comfy and clean, lovely quiet location and only a 5 minute drive to carnforth.

    The weather!!

    No 1 Retreat at Carnforth is a perfect base for exploring the South Lakes area. The accommodation was outstanding, the interior has all the finishing touches and comforts required for a lovely holiday. The lodge was very well equipped and spotlessly clean. The children loved feeding the ducks on the pond opposite and enjoyed the play park. The host, Margaret was excellent at communicating information and provided a very good guidebook for the area. There’s plenty to do in the area whatever the weather. The leisure centre just over the road at the South Lakeland Park has a great swimming pool and we purchased a family pass for the day for £25, good value as my husband and two grandchildren went twice. We enjoyed a workshop at the Chocolate Factory in Hawkshead.

    Right from first sight, before even going in, we thought it looked lovely and just what we wanted. Great location on the site, opposite a small duck pond. The outside seating areas are in good positions to take advantage of the sun and in the evening we could sit out until late to catch the last of the sunshine. It got better when we went into the lodge. Spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished in every room. Plenty of items in the cupboards for cleaning and even quite a few items that we could have forgotten to bring, like tea, coffee, sugar etc, even a spice rack. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom a decent size with choice of bath or shower. We loved the double aspect patio doors that made everywhere inside so light and airy. in a word, perfect, for us. A special mention to Margaret, who was always in contact promptly about any query that we had. We hope to return soon

    Amazing stay, the location is great with so many attractions close to the lodge. The lodge is beautifully decorated and the host gives lots of extra little touches like the dog treats and raspberry Swiss rolls for us humans. There are many places to walk and attractions to see for both families and couples. There are lovely places to eat close by, the food at the Water's Edge restaurant on site was amazing and dog friendly. We also venture to Longlands Inn for a drink and to watch the football, again we had a warm welcome for the dogs and children. Everyone on site were polite.amd friendly. The whole holiday park is neat and tidy. Each day we got to see and hear the duck on the ponds. We look forward to coming back.

    everything was perfect

    Everything about this property is perfect! The host Margaret was amazing! we initially booked for 6 nights but then I realised my husband was off work a day earlier. I messaged Margaret asking if we can come a day earlier and she said yes and didn’t even charge for that extra night! The property has everything you will need and more for your getaway. Last year we stayed at Pine lake resort and for the price that lodge was very out dated. No 1 retreat is modern and also has a smart tv with Netflix for those rainy days when you can’t venture out too much. The location is perfect and beautiful and our little daughter enjoyed feeding the ducks every morning.
