Overview:
Ellie's lodge is a superb family-friendly holiday house, renovated to a high standard in 2018 to offer 12 bedrooms, a bar, and entertainment area, 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 center. The entrance hallway leads to the ground floor bedrooms, the ladies and gents loos, 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 put on a BBQ and enjoy the hot tub, or arrange for caterers to come in and host for you!

All the bedrooms have been beautifully decorated with feather duvets and plush furnishings, each with a separate theme and color-pallet. The Kitchen is modern and large! Forget washing plates, there are two dishwashers for you to use. For longer 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 from which to explore the South Lake District National Park and all its wonderful attractions.

I have just spent my hen weekend at Ellie’s lodge, and all I can say is WOW! All 16 of us just constantly walked around saying how beautiful and perfect the house was, it has everything you could possibly need. I contacted the owner a few times with questions about check in, and check out. He was lovely, so helpful, and made the weekend so much better. I will be recommending this house to everyone I know, and hopefully I will get to book it again very soon! Thank you

We booked a week here at the start of September. The place is massive and really well laid out. The bar is fantastic and kept adults and children entertained all week with the pool table, darts and music. Very well sound proofed too, once you go to your room you don't hear any noise from the bar. All the rooms were very clean and the showers are great too. Everything you need is in the building. The sauna, ping pong and hot tub are brilliant too. Plus the size of the garden and the bbq. There's loads to do within a short distance around the area and Ulverston town centre has plenty of nice shops and pubs. Overall I can't fault the place, our group ranged in age from 6 to 80 and everyone was happy there.
