Guests say

Elder Lodge in Windermere receives high praise for its modern amenities, stunning views, and dog-friendly environment. Guests consistently enjoy the hot tub and the lodge's cosy atmosphere. The location offers tranquillity and proximity to local attractions, making it a favoured choice for both relaxation and exploration.

The lodge is frequently described as clean and well-maintained, with several guests highlighting its spotless condition. However, a few mentions of wear and tear suggest room for improvement.

The location is highly praised for its beautiful views and peaceful setting, with easy access to local walks and attractions in the Lake District, contributing to a serene and enjoyable experience.

Guests find the lodge comfortable, with a home-from-home feel and quality furnishings. The provision of dog amenities adds to the comfort for pet owners, though there are isolated comments about bed comfort.

The lodge's facilities, including the hot tub, are generally well-received. However, some guests encountered issues with appliances and a lack of instructions, indicating a need for better maintenance and clearer guidance.

While guests mention welcome packs and treats for both humans and dogs, there is insufficient information to determine if these are consistent offerings. Therefore, it's important to note that such gifts, while appreciated, may not be guaranteed.

    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 wasn’t 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 isn’t fit for purpose. We had a lovely time and would definitely use the lodge again!

    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
