Self Catering in Cumbria - Bardsea

Lovely Spacious House but With Issues
We hired Eden Lodge for a family celebration (50th birthday). The Lodge is set in its own large grounds in quiet Bardsea, near Ulverston. Our three night stay was largely very positive, the building being more than adequate to accommodate a large party. With two large sitting areas with bar, a big commercial kitchen, a huge dining room and lots of comfortable bedrooms, mostly en suite, it was liking having our own hotel! But it was such a size that there was never a time we felt we were getting under each other's feet. The lodge also has a sauna and hot tub and here is where the issues arose. The sauna, due to an electrical fault, failed to work at all. The hot tub worked fine on the our first night, but after this didn't heat up properly and we lost the use of this for the rest of the stay. This and having to phone around to report the faults slightly marred the enjoyment of our visit. The issues were reported to the company that manages the property and Sykes Cottages, and we were compensated for the loss of the amenities. All in all the positives of Eden Lodge outweigh the negative parts of our stay and we would consider visiting again, my only proviso would be to check that all the selling points of the property are in working condition on arrival.

Amazing venue !
We have just returned home from a week at Eden Lodge - self catered, whole property rental - over the Christmas week. What an amazing property to share as a family. Loads of space, beautifully decorated, and every room en suite. We had a couple of issues with things not working or broken but the service company came almost straight away and properly sorted or completely replaced things. We would highly recommend Eden lodge for family get togethers and thoroughly enjoyed all the amenities . and beautiful local walks. The view from the dining room (and hot tub) is breathtaking Thank you for an amazing week !

The house was the best large property we have been to (we have visited over 20 in the past). It was really well equipped and the furnishings were beautiful. The house was spotless and provided a wonderful base for the area.

Eden lodge is a fantastic property. There is more than enough room and the standard is excellent.
