    “We had a fantastic stay at Ellie’s lodge for our first visit of the Lake District.”

    The house is in Ulverston and has a vey close Aldi and M&S in case you need it. The town is not too far too. The rooms look exactly like the pictures and we loved the hot tub, sauna and the games room. We initially could not figure out the heating and wifi password but that was later resolved. Overall it was great and would stay here again.
