Lovely place to stay. Hot tub very relaxing and private. Cosy pod. Extra bonus being dog friendly. Only disappointment was no doors on front area so dogs had to be restricted to pod whilst we were in hot tub. Pod had everything we needed and would definitely come again

Lovely peaceful setting. Glad to have the hot tub enclosed in Elder Lake Pod. Nice pub 2 minutes walk away. Plenty to see and do nearby. Negatives- only given 1 bath towel each and 1 hand towel between us to last the whole week. We had a message advising us to fetch towels for the hot tub. The sofa was very hard and not comfortable enough for sittiRead moreng on in the evening. The hot tub control panel had been replaced and incorrectly labelled. We had to call the owner out, he did come straight away. Hide

The Elder lake is really lovely and cosy and it has everything you need. It was very quiet and peaceful. I would recommend to a friend and have already sent them the link! I would also book to stay again in the future. Its very accessible just off the A30 and close to great walks.

The pod is is a really great place to stay and very well laid out .It is stocked with all the utensils, plates etc that you need, the oven fridge & microwave worked well. The bed was comfy shower was hot and good heating too, we didn't find the clothes airer until we had been there for 2 days. We also didn't find the dishwasher & cooker instructionRead mores until the last day. The inbuilt Bluetooth sound system was good , but it did take a bit of working out.

Lovely lodge to stay in and super location. The equipment provided is excellent and the lodge is very comfortable. With the ever changing UK weather, having the covered over outside space is really helpful and can enjoy the hot tub in any condition.

After an impulsive booking based on the pictures and not much research I can confirm that the Elder Lake Pod not only lives upto expectations on appearance but its also situated in a beautiful location as well. We arrived to a warm welcome and an even warmer pod (it would definitely be suitable for winter use as well). It was clean and tidy with plRead moreenty of information about the local area. As an added bonus we were lucky enough to see some ducklings on the lake as well. 100% would recommend!!! Hide

We were disappointed with our stay at Elder Lodge. The photos and description are misleading. The lodge is lovely and clean, but the location is right by a noisy motorway, on a smelly farm and is surrounded by lots of other lodges, so it doesn't feel private or peaceful. It was advertised as dog friendly, but it is very inconvenient for anyone stayRead moreing with dogs, as they have a strict dogs on lead policy. They also didn't provide any info on local walks/pubs or how to work heating etc. Hide
