About this property

Ellie's Lodge - Superb family-friendly holiday house sleeps 26 guests in 12 bedrooms

Ellie's lodge is a superb family-friendly holiday house, renovated from its former use as a hotel, offering 12 en-suite bedrooms, a bar, an entertainment area, a large open-plan kitchen and living area, hot tub, sauna, table tennis table and more.

The Country House was transformed from its former use as a hotel to accommodate groups of friends or families for holidays or celebrations. Access to the property is from the large car parking area, shared with the adjacent garden centre. The entrance hallway leads to the ground floor bedrooms, the ladies and gents loo's, disabled loo, staircase and on to the first living room, bar, and entertainment area, open-plan kitchen, and second living area and lastly onto the dining area. The open-plan layout means that nobody feels cut off from the other guests, and there is oodles of space for all.

The rear private garden is ideal for warm sunny days when you can use the BBQ and enjoy the hot tub.
All the bedrooms have been beautifully decorated with feather duvets and plush furnishings, each with a separate theme and colour pallet. The Kitchen is modern and large! Forget washing plates; there are two dishwashers for you to use. For more extended stays, the utility room offers washing machines and a tumble dryer too.

If you fancy visiting Ulverston Town Centre with its many bars and restaurants, it's just a short 10-minute walk away. Other nearby attractions include the Laurel and Hardy Museum, South Lakes Safari Zoo, Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Centre, Conishead Priory (now occupied by the Buddhist Community), Holker Hall & Gardens and Bardsea Beach. You can also drive to Lakeside and jump on the Windermere Boats to Windermere and Ambleside or buy a day ticket and include the steam Train from Haverthwaite.

Ellie's Lodge is a perfect base to explore the South Lake District National Park and all its wonderful attractions.

Amazing!

Absolutely amazing property - perfect in every way and a fabulous base for our holiday. We had so much space it was great for us as a group and family... kids could sleep well at night whilst we partied in the bar. Decor and rooms so beautiful and beds really comfy. Great communication from Adam prior to stay also, nothing too much trouble: we will be back! Best place we have stayed.

Fabulous short break

We were an extended family group aged from 10 to 78. Every single one of us had an brilliant time. The house is amazing and very clean and modern. The photos do not do the house justice. Overall I would highly recommended a break here and hope to visit again.
