Elder Lodge Reviews

A lovely lodge, warm and cosy with all you could need for a weeks holiday. Loads of space and the utility room was useful fior our dog food etc. Nicely decorated for Christmas. A few problems a dvd player was listed but wasnt there, the basin leaked in the main bathroom and the radiator didnt work in the second bedroom. Wouldnt stop us returning but hopefully in drier weather.

The hot tub jets dont seem to be working very well. Jets 2 button doesnt do anything and we found bits of jets in the bottom of the hot tub left on step when we departed. Both showers keep going hot and cold and the kitchen in particular needs some tlc as doors were chipped and peeling. TV also has a permanent patch on it that looks like light reflection but is in fact some sort of damage.

Beautiful property we felt very lucky to be there and enjoyed the stay especially the hot tub. Would love to return.

We have stayed in Elder Lodge on numerous occasions and always found it very comfortable and a home from home this last stay was even better the Lodge had been a little updated and little extra touches like the welcome pack even for our four legged family member, we will definitely be back hopefully soon.

Louise

Lovely holiday, great location and perfect for us. The lodge is really well maintained and is so doggy friendly, which was excellent. The facilities were good, we loved having access to a washing machine and tumble dryer and my husband loved the hot tub! The only negative was that it wasnt spotlessly clean when we arrived, with food on the chopping boards and tags from clothes left in the bedroom by a previous occupier. It would also be good to have a couple more fans available as the lodge gets very hot in the sun and the only fan available isnt fit for purpose. We had a lovely time and would definitely use the lodge again!

Claire

Amazing stay, truly beautiful

Steven

We have stayed before and found it okay, this time my wife fully hoovered on arrival, the plugs in both utility and bath are not operational, I payed for premium internet and was unable to even get weather updates no internet service at all No phone service at all, we left a day early because we could not get any hot water to wash or shower unless the central heating was on which left the lodge unbearably hot, we could not find any instructions for any appliances especially the TV 5 different remotes in a drawer Thanks Steve

This is our 5th visit to Elder Lodge we feel like its a home from home we love the space in the bedrooms and comfortable beds it makes for a wonderful break.

Matthew

Fantastic property, our family felt at home as soon as we arrived.

We have stayed on this park a few times but this lodge was by far the best. Lots of space well equipped with everything you need, comfortable and the location very good. Loved the homely feel in the lodge, pictures and ornaments

We had a fantastic week,wheather could have been better but it was December. The hot tub was amazing. Lovely meal in the pub dog walking field was very good for the furboy. The lodge could do some tlc in some areas but we loved the lodge and the beds and bedding was fantastic.we will definitely be back to the elder lodge

Joanne

We really enjoyed our stay, really good location. but the photos on the website need updating , we were dissapointed with the lodge , a lot of wear and tear and nothing like what we were expecting

Stacey

Lovely place to stay, perfect location on the park, would definitely come again

Penelope

Perfect location for exploring the Lakes, amazing holiday lodge and site facilities. The lodge was so cozy and clean with quality furnishings and fittings. The beds were so comfy too. Everything you needed was on hand in the lodge. Loads of accessories for fur babies which was a really nice touch. We would definitely return we really loved it.

Stunning lodge with spectacular views and excellent amenities. Would stay again

The lodge itself had everything we needed facilities wise. But it also had a few issues the fridge freezer was so loud it could be heard from the bedroom it was constant whining noise. The tap was also dripping and we could see this was mentioned on a previous review. The main bedroom bed we felt like we had been bitten constantly when sleeping in this bed felt like fleas so we used the other room, but even now still feel all bitten.

Jennifer

Lovely clean and well equipped lodge still has a drippy tap seems this has already been mentioned in previous reviews. Would be handy to have manuals on oven and washer etc for ease of use. Requested bed to be made into a king size twice and this never happened mattress on single bed very soft and squeaky needs replacing. Overall a lovely stay and would return however the park itself needs to do something about the sheep that run loose leaving mess all over they even got into dog field and left mess that my dog loves to eat she spent the whole holiday with a bad stomach!

We had a lovely stay at Elder Lodge it was very comfortable a real home from home the views were lovely especially from the hot tub and the park is lovely and quiet with great walks for the dog we would definitely stay here again

Claire

Fantastic stay! Lodge was in a great location with stunning views. Sitting in the hot tub looking out over the hills was a bonus. The lodge itself was really roomy. So well equipped not only for us but for our four legged friend. Especially impressed with the linendog room. Thanks for having us.

We are returning customers to this great park and lodge. The lodge has everything you would need for a comfortable, relaxing stay and even has provision for your dog towelsbowls. The hot tub was a god send as the weather was so warm, but even if the weather wasn't good, the hot tub is clean and a welcome additional feature. We did have an issue with the veranda gate not closing and our dog managed to push it open and take herself to the Haybarn pub for a pint thank you much to the bar staff who kept her safe and returned her to us. The maintenance staff did repair this whilst we were there. There were also a dropping tap in the kitchen reported to maintenance and there was a couple of dirty towels in the bathroom on arrival floor towel for the shower, but we had taken our own so it wasn't a big issue. Overall we really enjoyed our stay in this lodge and will look to book in the future.

A brilliant lodge. Spacious well equipped. So comfortable didn't want to leave. In a lovely position. Quiet but only a few miles from Windermere itself. Nice walks for dogs with a dedicated field to run free.

Wonderful lodge. And a added bonus of a hot tub which were fantastic. Beautiful views from every angle. We brought our two golden retrievers on this break with us and they absolutely loved it too. Very dog friendly! Massive plus! Highly recommend this lodge place. Weve already booked to come back again.

Amazing lodge, really clean, great location, hot tub is a nice bonus, strongly recommend this property for dog lovers, our dog absolutely loved it. Thank you so much

Lodge was lovely! Had everything we could possibly need, and was extremely equipped! The heating in the twin bedroom was very temperamental, so we had to keep the bedroom door open to keep it temperate in there. We did notice, not that it affected us in anyway, but it may be worth looking at, that the patio door in the living area didnt look very secure when closed and locked. We cant fault the lodge in anyway!

Malcolm

Lovely lodge all home comforts with added extra of hot tub would recommend this lodge for all

From the moment we arrived on my 50th I was really excited as I had previously phoned and mentioned it was my 50th on arrival so was hoping for maybe a small token card or something but nothing I was a bit disappointed. The place however was great it smelled so nice and was very clean . Our room was great there was lots of storage and the bed and bedding was so comfy even my husband said it was and he is fussy . My 15 year old daughter had the other room I asked to put the beds together so it was a big kingsize she was delighted and the shower room was brilliant with good storage wardrobe too. We booked this especially as it had a hot tub and wow it was amazing myself and my husband had never been in one and it was spotless clean . It was pouring down but was so warm and with the flashy lights you forget it's raining . The little additions of the dog leads poo bags etc was such a nice touch I was impressed. My husband is the cook in our family and he loved the kitchen so much storage pans etc and the oven was amazing we had full chicken roast on Sunday cooked so well sitting round the big table watching a bit of tv . My dog loved it too all the walks round about and being able to be safe on the decking . I could go on how amazing our stay was all day but the only problem we came across was the tv only free view my husband loves his tv we even bought out fire stick but no I ternet connection . We didn't come away to watch TV all day but after a long walk you should have the option to watch more than free view channels. I would defo come again we had a good time .Next time also I think I would book Asda delivery to the site as booths etc was so expensive. All in all great comfy quiet beautiful place loved it . Thank you will definitely come again

Elvijs

We had a fantastic time at the lodge it exceeded all our expectations! The facilities were superb and it truly felt like a home away from home, especially for our furry friends who appreciated the thoughtful addition of dog toys. It's the little things like this that made our stay extra special. However, we did encounter a couple of minor issues that we feel could be improved upon. Firstly, we had some trouble setting up the TV as there was no internet connection available. We were disappointed that we couldn't access Netflix, but this was a minor inconvenience and didn't detract from our overall enjoyment of the lodge. Secondly, we were a little disappointed to find several stains on the duvet cover and sheets when we removed the bed linen. Whilst we understand that accidents can happen, we would have appreciated if the stains had been dealt with prior to our arrival. Despite these minor issues, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend the lodge to anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable retreat. Thank you for your hospitality and for making our stay so memorable!

We loved the lodge. It's very comfortable and has everything you need plus, it is super dog friendly which suited us down to the ground! It's in a great location on the park which was very quiet and the addition of the hot tub was very welcome after a long day of walking! The pub on the park did some good food and beer and made catering for the family a far less stressful experience on holiday. We will be back.

Stewart

Lodge was lovely and was spotless. Everything was fantastic and would recommend booking. We stayed at the park before COVID so knew it was a lovely park but this was our first private booking and our first one with a hot tub. The facilities were great with everything you would need to get you through your stay. Would highly recommend and would definitely book again. Thank you

Fantastic holiday, really enjoyed it . Amazing views , clean, everything you need for a wonderful stay.

The property was amazing it was very spacious & was very comfortable it also had all the amenities you have in your own home & the plus was a hot tub with amazing views. Will be definitely make another visit & highly recommend this property for a holiday

Jacqueline

This was our first visit to the lodge but have stayed on the site previously. We had a fabulous stay ,the lodge was very well equipped and it is beautiful .we would definitely recommend it to friends and family and will be booking again .The only negative and it is minor issue was the outside area and furniture could have benefited from power washing however this is something I am sure was on your to do list as the weather improves.This did not however spoil our stay and we know only too well how quickly the outside areas can deteriorate over the winter months. I was not even going to mention it but feel sure you would want to know as you obviously take tremendous pride in the upkeep of the lodge .Thankyou for a fabulous week and we hope to visit again soon.

tin Steven

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lodge. Everything was as shown and immaculately clean. The hot tub was a real treat

Cheryl

Beautiful place. Lovely and clean love the 2 bathrooms when 2 couples are sharing . The bed was really comfortable .. we will definitely be booking again.

We have used Elder lodge several times in the past. It is still nice but a bit worn round the edges and showing signs of wear. We had to complain that there were only two wine glasses, we had a leak under the unit which left us with a wet floor, there was a bees nest by the seating area which had to be removed and the power went off. Luckily it had happened before and we knew where the reset was outside. We did enjoy our stay but its honestly a bit expensive now and we shouldnt have had all the above hassles.

The decking required a jet wash. There was a lot of algae which needed washing off. Neighbouring lodges were much cleaner on the outside.

Thomas

Fantastic accommodation, great for dogs and humans alike. Plenty of space, comfort, and facilities that mean you don't need to worry about forgetting anything. Location is spot on too. Can't recommend highly enough.

We had an amazing time at Elder Lodge. It was very clean and comfortable. It is such a spacious lodge, very homely. We would have loved to stay longer. The park was very quiet and we felt very welcome. There were lots of extras such as towels for the dogs, poo bags, toys which was a lovely added touch. Thank you, we will certainly return again!

Weve been coming to Limefitt for almost 10 years now, this was the best lodge weve stayed in by far. Its well planned, spacious, comfortable, spotlessly clean and equipped with everything from poop bags to a night light. We were a little apprehensive having seen a couple of the more recent reviews and whilst I agree there are some things that need addressing the floor is dipped in parts under the carpets and needs looking at before it breaks completely, the vinyl coverings on the wardrobe doors are lifting slightly and there are a few other bits and bobs that just need some general maintenance. That said none of the issues would have or did have any impact on your comfort or quality of stay. The lodge is lovely and that cant be taken away, its a holiday home and wear and tear will happen. Overall we loved it and will come again.
