Kimberley

This was our third stay and we fall in love a little more every time. Little Heaning is the perfect getaway, we just wish we could stay longer. As always the facilities are wonderful, clean and make for the perfect stay. The customer service is always to the highest of standard and we are always made to feel so welcome. The surrounding area is stunning and makes for a lovely drive to our favourite spots. Thank you so much for giving us a much needed break and a little spot of heaven to retreat to. We will most definitely be back!

Rebecca

Little Heaning was a dream. From the moment we got there we were stunned how picturesque Little Heaning and the surrounding location was, including the views, the walks and the little village of Cartmel a short drive away. Little Heaning was spotless and very well equipped with everything you could need. We thought the cabin was more spacious than the photos portrayed which was a lovely surprise. Louise was absolutely fabulous providing us with everything we needed. On arrival we were welcomed with a folder full of activities, walks and places to eat in the local area which was super helpful when planning the days activities. We will 100 be back next year and every year following!

Lizzie

We loved our weekend away. we had an amazing stay and would definitely return and recommend to family and friends. It was so peaceful and the views where stunning. The accommodation itself was very clean and cosy. It had all the appliances you may need while away. It was in an ideal location. About a 20 minute walk into Cartmel which we did each night. And less that a 10 minute drive into Grange. The hosts were very friendly. Louise came as we arrived and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall I would stay here again as it was a lovely experience.

Such a peaceful stay at Little Heaning with a lovely view. The place was cosy, clean and supplied with all you needed for the week. We enjoyed the hot tub, it had a comfortable amount of space and depth. I think I would consider booking again.

Malcolm

Lovely comfortable place to stay. Immaculate place inside and out. Very peaceful with gorgeous views of the surrounding hills and landscape. Loads of places to visit especially if you like walking. Would definitely like to pay a visit again, hopefully soon.

Our stay at Little Heaning was wonderful, it was a beautiful location and the property was immaculate with everything we could need. We really enjoyed the hot tub and BBQ and the host sent detailed check in instructions and left a booklet in the property on how things worked and local attractions and restaurants. They also provided a few treats in the fridge. We would definitely stay again.

This pod is compact but with all the luxuries you need. On arrival the space was clean,tidy and was surprised to see a lovely local sticky toffee pudding in the fridge for us to enjoy. There was tea coffee and milk supplied. All lovely touches to set this place apart from others. Would highly recommend.

Fabulous stay at Little Heaning. Every little detail thought of. Would definitely come back.

Richard

My wife and I spent 3 nights in Little Heaning while we ventured into the lake district to climb mountains, visit villages, and take part in water activities on the lakes. The accommodation is super clean and really comfy! We spent every night in the hot tub as we stargazed, put the log burner on to dry off and spent our evenings cooking up some burgers on the BBQ. Our hosts were incredibly friendly and accommodating. Could ask for a better lodge in the lakes. We will be visiting again! Next time we plan to have a lazy day at the lodge!

The property was well equipped, very clean and as described. We were provided with some fresh milk on arrival. There were video instructions for everything. We were greeted in a nice friendly manner and felt very welcome. It was a nice base to explore the lovely Lake District happy to recommend it.

Isobel

We had the most wonderful stay at Little Heaning, it was beautiful! Would highly recommend!

Little Heaning was a lovely lodge in a beautiful location. It was extremely clean and comfortable, so I would definitely recommend this is a place to stay. The owners were very kind and helpful we will definitely be back.

Brandon

Little Heaning was absolutely brilliant, spotless clean when we arrived, exactly as the pictures show, they give you a basket load of logs for the burner, lovely and clean hot tub, checked daily, with an amazing view. Couldnt recommend this enough, would absolutely go back! Very welcoming hosts also. Thank you!

Stephanie

Seamless from start to finish, Louise was brilliant and so friendly as well as Roxy the dog! . We loved the pod and the beautiful countryside. We had everything we needed during our stay and we couldn't fault anything. The Pods are much more private than I imagined, and it was so peaceful. The location is excellent and we walked into Cartmel a few times with no problems. We'd definitely stay again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Little Heaning near Cartmel. The views were amazing and the property was brilliant, peaceful and secluded only four pods on a farm. It had everything we needed and very clean. The owner was lovely and the hot tub was checked daily.

We had the best time here, the Lodge was amazing and the location added bonus of the going in spring and seeing all the lambs too! . Thank you for this and we have already been recommending you to everyone and hope to be back next year, thank you again!

Ashley

Simply Amazing. Everything was perfect. Lovely hosts. Little Heaning had everything and more. We loved the little welcome gifts as they were such a lovely touch. So relaxing and peaceful and and would certainly recommend

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.
