Guests say

Guests consistently praise the Mereside lodge for its cleanliness, luxurious comfort, and stunning lakeside location in Cumbria. The property boasts modern decor, well-appointed amenities, and beautiful views, providing a tranquil and relaxing experience. Despite some minor issues with Wi-Fi and mattress comfort, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests eager to return.

Reviewers frequently mention the lodge's spotless condition and the cleanliness of the property, indicating a high standard of hygiene and upkeep.

The lodge's beautiful lakeside setting in a convenient location is highly appreciated by guests, with many comments on the lovely views and the proximity to local attractions.

Guests find the beds and sofas very comfortable, and the lodge spacious. There is a single mention of a lumpy mattress, but overall, the comfort level is rated highly.

The lodge is well-equipped with top-spec fittings and all necessary appliances, though there are some remarks about Wi-Fi issues and the cost of using the swimming pool, which suggests room for improvement.

There are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate the level of thoughtfulness, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

About this property

Mereside is a wonderful, waterside lodge, sitting within the South Lakeland Leisure Village. Resting on the outskirts of the bustling town of Carnforth, this property is ideally positioned for a family escape or a reunion with friends, in easy reach of various National Parks and coastal attractions. Heading up the steps of your private decking and through the front door you will find the utility area where you can hang up your coats and step past the convenient washing machine before reaching the wonder of the open-plan living space. The main social hub consists of a contemporary style, where you can sit on the sofas in front of the television hanging above the electric fire, making a great spot to settle with a hot chocolate in the evenings when you're not out exploring. At the other end of the room is the kitchen, hosting a range of appliances within its sleek white units, even with its own coffee machine for a rejuvenating lift in the mornings, to be enjoyed either at the dining table with a wholesome breakfast or out on the decking whilst soaking in your surroundings. Down the hallway you can find the three bedrooms, made up into two doubles, one with its own en-suite shower room, the perfect room for parents, alongside a twin room serviced by the bathroom, the layout of this property is ideal for a variety of group needs. Once you've spent some time on the decking in the morning watching the sun fully rise, head out to explore the local area; with the site holding a range of facilities including a restaurant and bar, gym, pool, steam room and spa, you have everything you need for a relaxing retreat on your doorstep. Slightly further afield in the town centre you can find a wider selection of eateries for that special celebratory meal, or head to the coast of Morecambe for a day of sun soaking on its golden sands. The property also benefits from easy access into the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks, making it a prime position for any keen adventurers. Mereside is a fantastic holiday home for a family or group of friends wanting a getaway full of fun and outdoor adventure.

Carnforth is settled just outside of the Arnside & Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and in close reach of the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks, offering scenic beauty at any time of year.

  • Martin

    Very comfortable home from home. Would recommend to anyone wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of life and relax overlooking the lake. Only point I would recommend we were really looking to using the pool facilities but were startled by the high price per day that put us off

  • Sharon

    The children enjoyed feeding the ducks on our own private jetty. Good communication with the owners providing code for keys and lots of instructions a few days before. Ideal spot for visiting the coastal town of Morecambe and the Lake District. Blackpool is a 45 min drive away. We really enjoyed our stay and were very fortunate with the weather mainly only raining in the evenings. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful lodge.

  • David

    We liked having 2 bathrooms and 2 walk-in wardrobes as we had our 19 year old daughter with us. Also the setting on the lake was perfect . Also you could be anywhere within 20/30 minutes drive, I.e the Lakes , Lancashire etc
