  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 recently spent a week in the ‘Elim’ (July 10-17) and it was superb.

  This was our third visit to South Lakeland in Five years, our previous two lodges being ‘Platinum’ category on the opposite side of the Lake, although top class lodges The Elim is in a class of its own. Our two Grandsons (13 & 8) were in awe of the place and when their parents arrived for the weekend they all spent most of the time on the lake with their kayaks and paddle boards. A thoroughly enjoyable week was had by all of us and if and when we return to South Lakeland it will certainly be back at the Elim. I had to contact Sykes regarding a problem with the key safe, Sykes put me in touch with the owner and he was a pleasure to deal with. Apparently the cleaners did not close it properly and it appeared jammed however after my eight year old grandson gave it a bit of a wallop it closed and was able to open with the code. The owner text me when we were home to advise that he had replaced the key safe. Five star communication.***** Bill Hood

  A beautiful lodge in a great location.

  Everything you would need for a comfortable home from home stay. Lake with the ducks that visited every morning lunch and tea time sn absolute delight. Great communication from owner. Bonus was, there was a washing machine which was unexpected as not in the lodge description. The lodge would benefit I think from a hairdryer. A couple of minor negatives were, no bin liner in kitchen bin, 1 bath sheet the other towels were 2 hand towels and a bath towel which was quite small, the BBQ on passing by had a slight greasy odour which we got used to, none of the above spoiled our stay. Would highly recommend to family and friends and will definitely be booking another visit. Great location close to the lakes we visited Bowness on Windermere stunning place. We didn't use facilities on site but the pool looked nice and clean and the bar/ restaurant inviting would visit next time.
