Willow Reviews

We had a lovely stay at Willow! It was so peaceful! The pod was clean and had everything we needed. The hot tub was amazing to come back to after a long day of walking. We will definitely be back!

Amazing stay, really loved it. The dogs were a nice wake up call and always came to us. Heating was really nice to come to, bathroom was really good too. Kitchen facilities, amazing. Great stay. Hot tub was good, definitely go in there at night youll enjoy it.

First time I have tried anything like this and considering we were in the middle storm Darragh, we had an enjoyable time, plenty of places to visit with a short drive, Ulverston itself is a nice town. The pod was very cosy and a lot of thought has went into the available facilities and utensils. I prefer a bit more space but again storm Darragh meant we could not relax in the ample outside space which would have made a big difference. Can't even comment on the hot tub. Overall I would recommend a 5 night stay in the summer.

Just got back from a wonderful 5 days at Low Flan Farm staying in the Willow pod. Pods bigger then they look, immaculate with all the accessories you need. Hot tub was great and cleaned every day. Great location feeling like you are in the middle of nowhere with Ulverston town just a 2minute drive. Owners lovely and helpful. Lovely peaceful stay and will be returning next year!

We have just come home from a week away at Lowflan Glamping pods. What a Beautiful and peaceful place. On arrival we was met by the lovely hosts Carol and Ian. Really nice people and very helpful. There dogs Meg and Polly were an added bonus our kids loved them and so did we. The pods had everything you could need,were really nice inside and lovely and clean. The hot tub was an added bonus and a welcome treat after a long day Hiking. The pods are situated just outside Ulverston within walking distance of good restaurants, takeaways and pubs from which to choose. Also plenty of shops to get your essentials from.

Outstanding holiday. Enjoyed every minute will return

Gillian

The cabin was cosy and had everything we needed. Carol was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. The attention to detail in the cabin was a nice touch and husband popped up with some eggs from the free range chickens. The donkey was our alarm clock and absolutely loved being a part of a working farm. The views are stunning, jacuzzi great after a long walk and overall had a fantastic stay. I would highly recommend.

Zoltan

We only had a weekend but it was one of the best holidays we've ever had, and definitely want to return once more in this year. Carol and Ian are a lovely couple, very friendly, helpful and caring just as their dog Meg who visited us every morning for a little indulgence. It's an absolutely stunning and peaceful place to stay not to mention the views you can enjoy from the hot tube if you want. We recommend this fantastic place for everyone who want to escape from their everyday routine for a few days....or more. We loved to be here. Thank you so much again to Carol & Ian.

Lovely stay at willow. Two great dogs who love to visit your pod throughout the day. Very friendly hosts to who are very kind and helpful.

Christopher

Excellent stay. Very clean and lovely hosts.

Just back from a few days at the Willow, lovely get away, very nice and clean. Gorgeous surroundings, not far from the town or into lake windemere. Our little girl loved seeing the animals everyday. The owners are lovely and very helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Shoaib

I really liked the area. We were 5 min away from grocery stores in case you need something in the night . Also restaurants , pubs and etc. Its a 20 min drive to Windmere Lake. The area is very beautiful, have breathtaking landscapes, quiet and peaceful for relaxing time. There are a lot of hiking trails around as well. Owners are super friendly and helpful. They guide us through the area and also let us come to the farm with my 4 years old daughter and watch farm animals life which was very cute and interesting. The lambs were so cute. Property is very new, neat and cosy. You can have breakfast there if you want and sit outside on the table as well. And yeah, hot tub was amazing, I loved sitting in the night under the stars in it, it was very relaxing. Highly recommend as very cool option for visiting the Lake District

Lovely place to stay, very cosy and relaxing. Owners are very welcoming and helpful. Beautiful scenery too. Couldnt of asked for a better stay.

We had a fab stay here. Carol and Ian were lovely and always on hand. The hot tub was brilliant and the accommodation was clean and had everything we needed. Wed love to come back! Our dog loved it too.

This place was the perfect place for me and my boyfriend. It was a 10 minute drive from the beautiful town. The hosts were extremely accommodating and showed us round all the farm animals! The farmer was so helpful during our stay and came everyday to make sure the hot tub was good. I will definitely be back ! The pods were spotless and the comfiest bed! My boyfriends exact words were it was magical and cozy. It was the break that we both needed !

We really enjoyed our 3 night stay. The location is good as you are a short drive away from a choice of hikes and the town centre is a 15 minute walk away. The hosts are very friendly, whilst leaving you to enjoy the peace they are also happy to help with any recommendations and directions into the town genuinely happy to help. The pod itself is an ideal space, with plenty of room and equipped with everything you need. The hot tub was also ready to get into whenever you wanted and was nice to get into after a hike. We would definitely stay again and recommend!

Carolyn

We stayed for 4 nights last week in willow, and we had such a great stay, clean comfortable and everything was there for us. Was helped by the owners on walks around the area for the dog, easily accessible to the town was a great holiday we highly recommend!

Elaine

What a beautiful relaxing place to stay, the owners are very friendly. Every morning they came to test the hot tub and stay and have a chat, nothing was to much trouble for them. The first night we arrived they offered to pick us up food from the Chinese, which was very thoughtful of them after 6 hour drive. The pods are very well thought out,there is everything you need to make your stay pleasant. The hot tub is brilliant and relaxing.

The pod was beautiful, attractive and extremely clean, the facilities were maintained great. The hosts were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Id have no problems recommending this to others as it was in a really nice peaceful setting within the farm and only a short drive or 25 min walk into town.

Amazing place and kids loved it! Great place, great owners.

Hayley

We had the best time staying at willow! ! Its a gorgeous, cosy little pod and perfect for what we were after. The scenery is beautiful and we loved having the cows in the next field to wake up to! Hot tub was spotless, as was everything inside the pod. Our hosts were so friendly and couldnt do enough for us our kettle broke on our second day, and the farmer Im not sure of his name! came straight away to fix it and brought it straight back. He also noticed that we had blankets on as we couldnt work out how to work the heating he said he would send Carol up to sort it out, and she was straight there to show us what to do, so friendly! The only thing that we would mention is that the mattresses are not the most comfortable you can feel the springs and theyre noisy when youre rolling over in bed, but it wouldnt put us off staying again. I think if the mattresses were changed it would be perfect! Definitely would recommend. Thank you to our hosts.

Morgan

I would absolutely return it was a lovely experience and the most enjoyable introduction to glamping. The hot tub was soothing, and the pods were snug. The entire experience was wonderful. I appreciate you both providing us with such beautiful experience.

We stayed for 3 night in Willow july 2023 found everything we needed for our stay, the pod was spottlessly clean, compfy and well equipped,only a short walk into ulvertson, were you could find all aminities close at hand, it was lovely to meet Ian & Carol they where very welcoming, even our dog Honey loved meeting Meg. Thanks again hope to be back soon Debbie & Sandra

We thoroughly enjoyed the week's stay. Carol and Ian were brilliant, gave us a really warm welcome and our 9 month cockapoo became a sheep dog for that week's stay. Loved the location, scenery and piece and quiet. Cows, Sheep and Donkey's were the best vocal noises to listen to whilst in the hot tub. Will be going back next year for sure A

I was expecting a great holiday and stay and I wasnt disappointed. Myself and my Partner had a really enjoyable time exploring places, however what made the break so special for us was how super well we were looked after by Ian & Carol at Low Flan Farm, the hospitality and friendliness was absolutely top notch and we were so impressed and grateful to of had the opportunity to stay in Willow Pod on the and to see all the lovely animals at the farm. Great views, peace & tranquility, clean & comfortable accommodation and the luxurious hot tub. What more could you want. We look forward to booking with Sykes holidays again and we look forward to seeing Ian & Carol again on a future visit. Thank you so much with best wishes from Rufus & Natalie

Melissa

What can I say, we had the most amazing week at Lowflan Farm retreat. Carol and Ian the owners are just so warming and friendly. Carol took our kids on a walk showed them all the farm animals. There is nothing they wouldn't do for you. The views just take your breath away. I can honestly say that they are friends for life. I can't wait to return. Thank you Carol and Ian for a holiday that I will never ever forget.

Absolutely perfect we stayed in the willow lovey people that own it very helpful would stay again 1000
