The place is lovely, set in a lovely area. The pod was clean, cosy and bright. Was a short drive to the town and was great to walk straight into the Moors. The hosts were welcoming and friendly. I would recommend staying here.

An absolutely amazing place, the cabin is cute and comfortable. It is in a very quiet area and has some lovely surrounding walks. There isnt too much around so if youre looking for a relaxing few days away from the world it is perfection. I wouldnt recommend the on site pub for more than a drink or two but the bakery in town is beautiful. Would defRead moreinitely visit again! Hide

Had a very comfortable stay. Other cabins closer than i expected, yet, it felt very private. Very clever layout of the whole lodge. Excellent modern mod coms, however, being older, i couldnt really fathom the hob or diswasher. Also, no idea what the black box under telly was for. But thats just me and my age. Otherwise, it was exactly what i neededRead more. Thank you. 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
