  Elim is the most beautiful lodge situated on the lake at South Lakeland.

  We had the most relaxing and enjoyable weeks break with our family over Easter. The lodge is of a very high standard, catering to all of your needs including large tv, four bedrooms, three toilets and two showers. The spec is to a very high standard if not brand new. We enjoyed many nights sitting out on the decking relaxing on the outdoor seating overlooking the lake. The site itself is excellent for families. The leisure club is less than a minutes walk which offers a swimming pool, gym, exercise classes and a spa. All of which we took advantage of during our stay. The on site restaurant and bar was excellent and we enjoyed a family meal which was delicious. We loved the lakeside sand area and our boys played happily on several occasions whilst we relaxed on the outdoor seating area. The lake itself is a fantastic walk, we walked and took our sons around the lake on their scooters daily and fed the ducks. Communication with the owner was excellent and any queries were responded to without delay. We had the most relaxing trip to Elim, the best week away in England we have had in comparison to other family holidays. Close by there is so much to do; we enjoyed visiting Greenlands farm, Levens hall and park, Milnthorpe, Brockhole on Windermere and Bowness on Windermere. There are so many great pubs and restaurants nearby and a local Tesco or Aldi just a few minutes away. The perfect place for a family break, we can’t wait to re-visit soon x

  On arrival I would suggest a map of the site be available at reception as it took a while finding the Lodge.

  Also, having to walk to the lodge to pick up the key and the fob needed to gain access with car was a pain. The lodge was clean and the welcoming basket was a nice touch. The bed in the main bedroom was very comfortable however, the 2nd bedroom had a matress which was smaller than the base and not to comfortable. The recliner couch looked good on photo's (home from home), but wasn't comfy at all. The back was loose and to far back when upright. I felt like turning it up end to tighten any loose bolt's as I have done with my own. There was an upright vacumm which was empty on first sight but wasn't picking up. I took a closer look and found the pipe and filters totally blocked. I cleared it and washed the filters, although not the best it did pick up. Our stay was relaxing and the weather was good and hot which meant the balcony was very well used and enjoyed. The view of the lake was very nice. It would have been good to have the use of a cantilver umbrella as the deck was in full sun from midday until sunset, also a couple of fans would have given some relief from the heat indoors.These additions would have made are stay perfect. All in all we had a good stay, liked the site with all amenities close by. We would recommend this lodge.

  We have stayed in plenty of holiday rentals and this has been the best in terms of design, comfort and sheer attention to detail.

  For a detached, two-bed bungalow it's amazing. This was our first time in the Morecambe Bay area and when we return, we will surely stay at 12, Merefell Road. The bungalow is located within easy access to all the places we wanted to visit, including Morecambe, Leighton Moss RSPB reserve, Arnside and Carnforth. The kitchen is well-stocked and it was very thoughtful of Vicki to leave some milk; and even better to see a bottle of fizz and a couple of cold bottles of lager in the fridge. Teabags and coffee sachets are nice, simple touches, so often missed elsewhere. The shower is the best I've ever used. It's powerful and very easy to control. It has both a normal showerhead, which can be hand-held and a rain showerhead. A great shower makes a big difference. I'm going to get one of those floor mats for our bathroom. The beds are big and very comfortable, with four pillows. All the linens are of high quality. Space for two cars off the road. And it's really good value. Just don't book the week we want to return!

  The lodge was lovely, on a lovely park and we had best part of the week very sunny so made all the more enjoyable.

  The WiFi was not very good.The tv ,do the think it is tuned in properly as we could not get some basic chanels. We took our amazon fire stick but even that would not work most of the time.The furniture in the sitting room. And Dinning room could be re arranged to make more room, I.e. the dinning table could be turned around to make more room. It looked like the carpet had not long been fitted but the large rug that goes in the living area was bunched up under the sofa and the large foot rest in the middle of the floor, which could be a tripping hazard and they were both too heavy for me and my husband to lift to try and straighten the rug out. The two sofas the main cushions are sagging we did turn them over quite a few times but it made no difference. The only other thing for me was there is too many drinking glasses, crockery, cutlery & small electrical kitchen appliances in the cupboards and drawers leaving no space to put Non fridge products, and there was no bread knife. .
