Little Heaning Reviews

Ashley
Such a lovely stay ! Beautiful views and everything was great. We really enjoyed the hot tub and the fire place . Thank you.
This place is as good as it looks in the pictures and better, we loved it. Thank you
Myself and my boyfriend recently stayed over the weekend and were blown away by the property and its amenities. Its a perfect, private space to enjoy a peaceful few days in the countryside, and the owners were there if we needed anything at all. I have already recommended this property to a number of my friends!
We had such a lovely and relaxing time staying at Little Heaning, it was clean, comfortable and warm. The hot tub was perfect after a days walking! We will definitely be back!
We had a fantastic stay in Little Heaning . Relaxed and super quiet setting . The POD is warm and cosy on cold days especially with a fire lit. Enough amenities within for a comfortable stay. The hot tub is also amazing which we used every day, looking out across the views while relaxing and enjoying it. EV charging available on the farm too if needed and easy to use. Cartmel is a lovely little town with some nice pubs and walks close by. We didnt want to leave so already considering a return visit. Highly recommend.
We loved our stay at Little Heaning, it had everything we needed and more. The cabin was clean, tidy and extremely comfortable. The site was brilliant with amazing views all around and a hot tub to enjoy all day long. We would definitely look to return in the future.
Keeley
Absolutely lovely place to stay for a well needed relaxing break. Allows you to relax in such a beautiful spot & clean, well maintained place. The kitchen is well equipped and the smartmini oven is super easy to use. We cooked for a few nights & travelled for food the other days. Super easy unpacking, plenty of drawers etc and you can park next to your pod. Its a great location and easy to get to so many different places. Thank you so much for our stay. The owner was so lovely & welcoming. We certainly would advise this place
Gerald
Louise was very welcoming and the Little Heaning cabinaccommodation was excellent. The farm setting is also idyllic and we will definitely be going back for another visit next year.
We had a lovely stay at Little Heaning. It's so peaceful and in a beautiful setting. The hot tub is an amazing addition and we used it every day. We loved the fact that it's just out of the touristy areas of the Lake District, but the lakes are easily accessible for hiking and exploring. We sat on the deck every evening bar one, due to weather where we sat inside, where it was warm and cosy playing games. We would highly recommend Longlands Farm Retreats.
I cannot recommend this place enough. I was their with the girls for 4 nights to celebrate my 40th birthday. The accommodation was everything and expected and more besides. You couldn't get me out of the hot tub!! I'm already planning my next visit. The views are to die for. My friends and family all feel exactly the same. We didn't want to leave. If I had to make any suggestions it would only be 2 things...plumper pillows and a sweeping brush. We all wanted to leave the pods as we found them, so just wanted to give the floors a quick once over and the pillows were just a bit flat. However, this would not stop me from returning to this absolutely stunning place. Louise was great, a very nice woman. You have an amazing business. Thank you so much for our stay.
Abigail
Such a lovely stay and lovely owners. The lodge had everything we needed, a perfect location and was extremely homely.
Kristie
I had read reviews on Little Heaning and could not wait to arrive as all were so positive and we were not disappointed. Gorgeous setting, views amazing and the pod was exceptionally clean. Had everything we needed, they really have provided everything. There are 4 pods in total but we felt we were the only ones there with how private they have made each one. Would 100 recommend for a relaxing retreat. I was sad to leave.
Chelsea
My partner and I came here for a few days as a mini moon the day after we were married. Before arriving I was able to contact the owners and arrange a small treat for our my partner and I. The owners went above and beyond to make this happen for us and make is feel special. Upon on arrival we were blown away by the miraculous views from the pods. When we entered Little Heaning we were greatly surprised by how spacious and luxurious it was. The owners had thought of everything in order to make the stay relaxing and peaceful. The hot tub was maintained every day and the cleanliness of the whole site was excellent. We will definitely be visiting again!
We had a great time staying at Longlands Farm Retreats. Our pod Little Heaning was bigger than we envisaged and well equipped with everything we should need for a short break. The shower had very good pressure. The hot tub was great. The owner greeted us and was very friendly, we felt we would be well looked after if we had any issues thankfully we didnt have any!
Hayley
This was a perfect stay. . perfect accommodation, perfect scenery, so quiet. Would
Nikolina
Couldn't recommend it enough! ! The perfect place to switch off and relax. The pod, hot tub are fantastic and the views are stunning. Already planing for our next visit.
Caroline
This was the first time we stayed in a pod and it did not disappoint. There are only 4 pods on the site, which along with being in the gorgeous Cumbrian countryside added to the peace of the location. The pod was beautiful, comfortable and ideal for a couple to unwind, the hot tub is a brilliant inclusion, every evening a soak while enjoying the countryside is a must! The only. very small thing was there was no where to hang clothes and the kitchen has no microwave but the lovely Louise was very happy for feedback during our stay. Would definitely recommend Longlands Farm . Thank you Louise we have had a wonderful week .
Gareth
All in all we had a lovely time. Its spotlessly clean, the welcome can of beer and small bottle of fizz is a lovely touch maybe a local fruit juice for the teetotallers the local toiletries are gorgeous weve ordered some of our own
It was a beautiful property with an amazing view, the hot tub and other facilities were clean and perfect to use. The owners were great and answered any questions we had. Overall a very good experience
Pod was superb. Owner has thought of everything. Very comfortable stay and really nice local area.
We spent a weekend at little hearing. The lodge was immaculate both inside and out. The hot tub was great and perfect temp for the cold breeze outside. Gas bbq for sitting out and the little touches that Louise has left out for our stay made the whole thing excellent like welcome drinks and robes for the tub. 100 recommended.
Brandon
Really lovely pod, well equipped, cosy and a lovely place to stay. Louise was great, lovely welcome and there if we needed anything. Would definitely return!
Thank you so much . We really enjoyed our stay at Little Heaning. Everything was perfect and made our stay so comfortable. The pod was larger than we had expected too. We would definitely return and will recommend to our friends and family. It might be useful to let future guests know that a hairdryer is provided, and that the property boasts a multifunction oven, rather than a microwave.
Peyton
Absolutely loved our stay at the Little Heaning! Perfect location. The cottage was super clean, with towels and robes for us to use. Some special touches added made our stay feel that extra special. We will definitely be recommending this place to others and would love to go back. Our little recommendation would be to have hooks outside near the hottub to hang robes or towels. Thank you so much for having us. We absolutely loved it.
Steven

Well located and well designed little chalet. Hot tub with great countryside views, cosy wood burner and sofa, comfy bed, and peace and quiet. A lovely little getawayfromthekids weekend! Hope to do it again one day! Many thanks
Just back from a lovely stay at Little Heaning outside Cartmel. Amazing location, could only hear the cows & sheep with a few bunny sightings & stunning, uninterrupted views! Heaps to do locally & then come back to our pod which had everything we needed & to the lovely hot tub which made our stay. Louise, one of the owners is super welcoming & helpful if we needed anything & we will be back! Thank you!
William
Absolutely lovely place and ideal for a weekend getaway. Beautiful location and scenery to help you relax and located well for the lakes too. Communication prior to arriving was great with clear instructions on how to access the farm. My only other comment would be that the barbecue appeared to run out of gas when we went to use it, but certainly not something that would stop me from coming here again.
It was fantastic and if there was a problem the owner was there with the drop of ... It was fantastic and if there was a problem the owner was there with the drop of a hat great views beautiful place will go again

Very close to Kendal and Windermere. Will definitely stay again! Thankyou so much Louise we both enjoyed our relaxing holiday. From Charl & Mike.
