Cerian
The kitchen was well stocked (although I always take some utensils just in case). There was a really helpful welcome pack which explained about the area as well as âhow toâ guides for things around the lodge. Excellent storage in the living area and bedrooms. Just a bedside lamp needed in the twin bedroom. The site was great too and we made use of the pool one day. Good access to the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales with lots of things to see and do. A really lovely holiday, thank you!

Very roomy great space for everyone. Loved the open plan aspect it was light and airy. Good facilities in the lodge and it was very comfortable. Also a great swimming pool on the site. Great base for the lakes, Morecambe, Arnside etc. The site is well maintained and gardens and lake lovely. Would stay again. The only thing I would mention ( mentioned by other people who stayed in the lodge too) The sofa cushions need either re stuffing or foam underneath the cushions they are a bit difficult to negotiate but itâs a minor point. Beautiful lodge we had a lovely stay

The beds were very comfy, the couch was uncomfortable. The kitchen was well equipped, however a small pearing knife was missing from the knife rack. It was difficult to find the lodge as we arrived later than 4pm and the site was pitch black. We had to rely on other holiday makers opening the barrier as we needed the car full beam to find the lodge. Very peaceful and relaxing week. The leisure complex is very expensive would have cost £20 for a swim admission for one child and one adult.
