  • "Beautiful location peaceful overlooking the lake couldn't of ask for more."

    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

  • "We enjoyed a lovely week in this beautiful lodge so spacious with relaxing views across the lake and all amenities you could ask for a comfortable stay."

    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.

  • "We were very impressed with the size of the lodge."

    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

  • "Second time visiting."

    Loved waking up on the lake having a coffee. The rain doesn't even put me off. 1 gripe is the mattress is a little lumpy. Could do with better ones but I used my mattress topper which helped.

    Lodge well equipped with everything you need to make your stay a pleasurable one regardless of weather. Can highly recommend.

  • "Lovely spacious, comfortable and well equipped lodge."

    Great decking space although the weather wasn't nice enough to be out for much of our stay. My husband enjoyed fishing off the jetty, so convenient. Only gripe was the WiFi couldn't cope with Disney Plus and some programmes just wouldn't play. Swimming was expensive and we were disappointed that classes were not included in the daily or weekly rate.

    spacious, clean and lovely location next to the lake. The drawbacks are the pool and facilities are quite expensive, we wanted to take our toddler for a quick swim and the only choice is a day pass at £25 for two adults.

    Mereside was so clean. The only thing we did miss were pasta dishes and a wok. The sun shone all the time we were there which was lovely, sitting outside reading and looking to the lake watching the ducks and swans. A lovely stay.

  • "Great setting and views over the lake."

    With current pandemic we took lots of our own cooking utensils, bedding, cushions etc which helped to make the holiday easier/more comfy - obviously this was needed due to the property having to minimise items provided. Shops easily reached within 10 minutes and they were all up to date with current restrictions which made getting supplies easy. Our Son and Daughter in law pre-booked and used the swimming pool on-site - three day pass for £20 was great value and they had the pool to themselves or shared with very few others which they found reassuring. Overall we (the family) had a fabulous relaxing week away which provided a refreshing view, with fresh air - with the bonus of beautiful sunshine - away from home but with the same care and safety as we have at home. Would recommend to any family who wished to simply relax and chill out.

  • "Mereside was everything we hoped it would be."

    It was our first time staying at a lodge and it's spacious, lovely modern decor and fantastic position right on the lake were perfect for a relaxing holiday. It was spotlessly clean and also complete with all appliances needed for a comfortable stay. We had excellent communication from the owners and they also provided a meet and greet service which was extremely helpful. We did not use the pool, gym or spa but made us of the outside restaurant area and takeaway. Food was delicious so would definitely recommend. I would not hesitate to book this lodge again if we were holidaying in the area again. Thank you Pat and Rodger for having us at your lovely lodge.

The 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.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
