    “We had a lovely stay at the Ladybird Lodge, the sofas and outdoor seating are very comfortable and the site is very conveniently located for a quick drive into Carnforth, or even an hour or so drive to Grasmere/Keswick etc.”

    Decking is very secure for the dogs. There is a small park area just behind the lodge with a slide, swings etc so is perfect if you are travelling with children as you can see the park from the lodge! Also very friendly ducks that stop by throughout the day to say hello and ask for food - I would definitely stay again.
