About this property

Nestled on the Lilliardsedge Holiday Park in Jeburgh, Scottish Borders, is this wonderful two-bedroom lodge, Serena Lodge. Enjoying an idyllic location with easy access to the local amenities on-site, and a contemporary interior with everything couples or a family of four could need, Serena Lodge is a fabulous base for exploring Scotland. Park-up outside of the lodge where there is space for two cars, before being greeted by a lovely, decked area with furniture, an ideal spot for alfresco dining or enjoying your morning coffee. Step into the open-plan living space, where you can cook-up a storm in the well-equipped kitchen, featuring a dishwasher and washing machine, ready to savour at the dining table for four over a bottle of wine. After dinner, take your favourite tipple over to the plush seating area, where you can kick-back and relax in front of the electric fire as your favourite show plays out on the Smart TV. After a day of exploring, indulge in a relaxing dip in the bath or freshen up under the overhead shower. When sleep calls, two well-appointed bedrooms awaits, a king-size with its very own en-suite shower room and a 2’6 twin, both with plenty of storage for your belongings. Explore your surroundings, where you will find the welcoming Tavern Bar & Restaurant, serving a tasty menu and local ales, perfect for when you don’t feel like cooking! The holiday park also enjoys an excellent 9-hole golf course and an 18-tee golf course for those wanting to test out their clubs whilst on holiday, an on-site shop for stocking up on essentials and access to two woodland walks where you can spot the local wildlife.

    Super clean.The owners have equipped it with everything you would need for a comfortable stay. We had a very peaceful and enjoyable stay.

  • Alex

    A return visit from a week at a similar time last year. The location of the park in which it is situated allows easy drive access to many surrounding towns and places of interest. The lodge itself lacks nothing in comfort and contents. Relax or get out and about as it might suit you at the moment. In our mind, rates above the 5 star status.
