Elm Lodge Reviews

Elaine
We absolutely loved our stay at Elm Lodge. We can't fault a thing. If anything, the owners went above and beyond to help us when we were unexpectedly snowed in on our day of departure which was gratefully appreciated. The property is spotlessly clean and every detail has been thought of from appliances, utensils and decor, it was lovely and warm, water hot, beds and sofas very comfortable. Gorgeous peaceful location yet close enough to the town, pubs, restaurants and shops. Will definitely be returning as soon as we can
We all had a great time at elm lodge. Beautiful surroundings peaceful and relaxing. The lodge was suburb, spotless clean. The kids loved the hot tub and impressed on how big it was
Natalie
We have a fabulous time in Elm Cottage, the host met us on the way in and introduced himself and every morning we had a visit from the cats, the cottage was clean and very comfortable, it had everything we needed and the hot tub was a fabulous bonus. We would recommend and will be back.
Third time in a year weve stayed at Elm and once again had a fantastic time. The lodge was as lovely, clean, comfortable as always. All amenities provided. Looking to book a return trip again very soon.
Stephen

The lodge was fantastic, it was clean, welcoming, the kids loved the hot tub which was prepared for us before we arrived, we even enjoyed the visits from the cats, it was also very peaceful being a few miles away from town, I'd highly recommend this holiday spot to anyone
Shahaan
Great place to stay. Steve was very responsive and helpful throughout and took care to make sure all the facilities were working properly.
Rebecca
The pictures do not do the lodge justice. Absolutely stunning. Me and my husband came to stay for 2 nights. Really wish we would have booked for longer. The lodge was beautifully kept and had everything we needed for the weekend. A bottle of wine was left for arrival. We will def be back and we cannot wait. May bring the kids with us next time as the lodge was suitable for little ones and had some child proofing for the more dangerous parts in the kitchen. Really honestly a lovely place
Our second stay this year but this time for a family Christmas spread over two lodges! Had a wonderful time as always clean, comfortable and cosy. Everything to hand to make for a perfect festive getaway. Our family loved the lodges and area and want to return. We are looking forward to our next stay which weve booked already for the summer. Our favourite place by far for a staycation.
Dianne
We stayed here for 2 nights as a new couple on our first weekend away. We absolutely loved it! The lodge was clean, tidy and had everything we needed. My partner even said he wants one now its made such an impression! The views were lovely and we had such a nice stay. Were definitely thinking of coming back soon! The local town wasnt too far away and we went there each day to see whats around. We just wish that wed taken the phone number for the owners to contact them. Nothing was left out and everything was thought of, a bottle of wine on arrival although we dont like wine was a lovely thought. There was an Alexa devices in the lodge for us to listen to music and even tea bags and milk.
Steven
Superb lodge, had everything you could want and in a great quiet location. Hoping to be able to book it again next year.
Two weeks at Elm Lodge and having stayed at Woodside Barn before we thought that was lovely but Elm Lodge beat it! Super clean, comfortable and quiet it was the perfect summer break. The hot tub was a great addition. Weve stayed in lots of places around the UK but this is our favourite. Great location to explore the whole of the Lakes. Will definitely return.
Far exceeded our expectations! The lodge is very comfortable, spacious and fully equipped with everything you may need in your time away. We particularly enjoyed the hot tub and bbq on the outdoor decking. The lodge is very private and has a lovely view and we loved that it was nearby to the town and also only took us 30 minutes to drive to Windermere. Would 100 return and recommend to others!
A lovely cabin in a very private location. Amazing views from the hot tub. Close enough to amenities. Would definitely go back. Thanks.
Amazing stay at the Elm Lodge. The pictures definitely do not do it justice enough. Would definitely stay there again and will recommend to friends and family.
Sharron
This is in the most perfect location and the lodge was like home from home. Very comfortable, everything thought about within the inside and outside. 13yr old grandson really enjoyed himself and the hottub was his bonus. Having got lost finding it and having to ring the farm twice they were very patient and helpful
Elm Lodge is everything we look for in a holiday accommodation and MORE! The setting is amazing and after a busy day exploring the area , relaxing in the hot tub whilst looking out over open fields was the icing on the cake !! The lodge itself is immaculate and beautfully furnished, with everything you could possibly need for your stay a home from home in all respects!! We would not hesitate to recommend this property !
Stephen
We had a great week at elm lodge. The location is perfect to relax and still within reach of loads of activities. One suggestion would be some robe hooks by the hot tub. We loved that the little things like tea and coffee, cleaning products and kitchen foil had been thought about which really does make a difference. Thank you!
A great week here all very positive the lodge is modern clean very well kept lots of little extras the view is amazing the hot tub is perfect the owner is very helpful the only one thing we would say is the description & pictures need updating as when we pulled up my husband said wow this is far better than pics as it has lovely fern trees all round it so private like being in a mini Forrest & the inside is far bigger. Perfect outstanding
A lovely property. Very well equipped. Lovely views. Children loved the cat and dog visitors! Adults appreciated the bottle of wine, milk etc. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you
Excellent Lodge, I cant recommend Elm Lodge enough. From the moment we walked in, we were wowed by the quality of the accommodation. The hosts have thought of everything, meaning you dont have to shoot out for any essentials, as theyve already thought of it. The lodge is spacious and the pictures really dont do it justice enough. Everything shines of quality and the beds are amazing. The cherry on top, is the hot tub which is a great way to finish the day.
The lodge is perfect, clean, comfortable and has everything you need. The view from the hot tub is incredible overlooking the fields and very secluded. Would definitely go back.
Amazing property in a beautiful location! The perfect holiday. Thank you very much.
Elm Lodge is a stunning lodge in a beautiful scenic location. It is spacious, extremely comfortable, good quality fixtures and fittings and spotlessly clean. The hot tub was a perfect way to relax at the end of each day! Thank you for sharing this wonderful lodge with us.
Douglas
This was our second holiday in seven months at Elm Lodge. We love it. It's peaceful and the accommodation is just the best. It has all the nice touches you could wish for, from the hot tub to the barbecue grill to the deck furniture to the DVD player and the Echo Dot speaker so we can listen to the music we like whilst cooking dinner! Everything is first rate. And when we arrived this last time, my girlfriend said, Oh look! It's just like we left it! Great property. We are already discussing dates for our next visit!
Stefanie
Amazing property and location! Will defo be back
I really enjoyed my stay here and will definitely be returning! Its amazing and so private, we didnt get disturbed at any point, and were provided with all the necessary facilities for our stay. Really recommend!
We had a fabulous stay in the elm lodge is was real luxury, the added extras like netflix and alexa dot was lovely. Would recommend to anyone.
Natasha
It was amazing had everything we needed and more. Very clean and warm hot tub was a amazing after a day of long walking. Alexa was a bonus Showers very powerful too We will definitely be returning
Our 2nd time at Ewedale, the Lodge was beautifully presented, all the facilities you could need are provided. Great hot tub, very peaceful location. Will definitely return again.
Safiya
We had a lovely short break at Elm lodge. The lodge was beautiful with lovely views.
Amazing second stay at the lodge. We loved it just as much as the first. We will definitely be back very soon. Can not rate it highly enough.
Lovely property and nice quiet area to relax
A lovely wooden lodge, well equipped and very clean, almost looks new. Hot tub was superb, really enjoyed that. Could not have asked for more. A 510 minute drive into Ulverston which has Booth's, M&S and Aldi and various pubs, a Chinese and Indian restaurant. Stayed 6 days, managed to get out and explore the Lake District on all but one poor weather day.
We loved this lodge and the hot tub was amazing. The kitchen it so well equipped. The lodge was cleaned thoroughly and the bottle of wine was definitely enjoyed. The outdoor area is another asset to the property and would be lovely in summer to utilise the bbq. We have already booked our 2nd visit and look forward to seeing Cyril again.
The peace and quiet of this location, we have two holidays a year but this was probably one of the best we have experience.
The cabin and surroundings were absolutely fantastic. The hot tub was perfect. Absolutely loved elm lodge.
Vishal
Photos dont do justice. Beautiful uninterrupted views. Great location, best customer service.
Joanne
Absolutely beautiful lodge. Amazing location, stunning views, very clean, comfortable beds, hot tub fantastic & Noel was extremely helpful & friendly. Would definitely recommend 100.
Lynette
Location perfect, cabin is fantastic, clean and has everything you could need. Outlook from the hot tub is countryside. Close to the lakes and other attractions including a zoo which is highly recommended.
