About this property
Situated within the South Lakeland Leisure Village, resting on the outskirts of the bustling town of Carnforth is this wonderful waterside lodge, Duckling Lodge. This heart-warming retreat is the perfect escape from reality for a family seeking a traditional getaway to an area steeped with natural beauty and in close proximity to the coastline. Be welcomed into an open-plan living space which has been individually styled with a light decor and large windows offering an abundance of natural light. Choose to spend your evening relaxing on the soft leather, reclining sofas and while away the hours having a family movie night or catching up with your favourite TV shows whilst the gas fire keeps you nice and toasty. Behind this is a smartly fitted kitchen with pristine white units and plenty of preparation space for rustling up some delicious meals. Take your meals to the handy dining table with enough seating for all four guests and toast to a wonderful holiday with a refreshing glass of champagne. Situated all on the ground floor, the property hosts one double and one twin bedroom, both with a range of furniture for storing your personal belongings. The master bedroom comes with its own en-suite shower room so you don't have to share the bathroom unless you fancy a long and relaxing soak in the tub. The property benefits from an enclosed decking area, perfect for those summer evenings outside watching the sunset, or take a dip in the bubbling hot tub for that splash of luxury during your trip. 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. While you're in the area, choose from a small choice of restaurants and pubs at the village of Carnforth for some fine dining. A short drive will bring you into the bustling city centre of Lancaster which benefits from a wide-range of attractions suitable for all ages and tastes. You can visit the 12th century Lancaster Castle, Lancaster City Museum housed in a Georgian building, or explore the Lancaster Priory Church for a wealth of history. Or choose to a take a long walk alongside the Lancaster Canal with your four-legged friend as your companion. Travel towards Morecambe Golf Club where you can enjoy a friendly game with your family or spend the afternoon at the beach. Duckling Lodge is a well-placed property for exploring the very best Lancashire has to offer.

It was a perfect reset, the lodge was clean, comfortable, warm and had everything that we needed including WiFi which was great for the kids. The welcome wine and biscuits was an also a nice surprise! The park is quiet and calming, if youâre going expecting Haven then youâll be disappointed but for us, we needed quiet and calm and it was stunning. The lake is beautiful to walk around, especially with a dog, and the whole park is so clean and well kept. Itâs the sort of place Iâd like to retire too. The pub was lovely and the food was great. The service was also exceptional. For us, only two improvements that we could see, the first is for the park, it needs a small shop for essentials. The second is so tiny but the remote in the bedroom doesnât work, like I said, so minor but, for some it may be an issue. In short, we loved it, perfect location and an amazing gem of a lodge that we wouldnât hesitate to visit again.

Could see WiFi for lodges all around but for lodge 5. Later it showed up but poor connection then disappeared. If WiFi is essential for you this is not good for you- like my sister she is from abroad with phone on data roaming so she was disappointed all night she got no WiFi in the lodge. Another issue we had is when I tried to run a bath I couldnât find anywhere the bath plug. Very strange indeed. Main bedroom is comfortable enough. Small bed really small. Hot tub is the best part. Nice surroundings in the village but lodge next to lodges quite close. In general I would say ok but not strong recommendation
