Some of our most frequently asked questions:
Do we have to bring our own linen?
No, all bedding linen, towels and a tea towel are provided including beach towels for all adult users of the hot tub.
Do I need to bring any kitchen utensils?
The lodge is well equipped for catering for yourselves and it is unlikely that you will need to bring anything. We provide basics such as cling film, foil, salt, pepper and complimentary tea and coffee too. Please contact us with any questions you may have.
Do you provide high chairs and cots?
We do not provide these but the lodge has plenty of room to bring your own travel cot etc. In fact Elm Lodge is very popular for couples with babies.
Is heating and electricity included in the price?
The cost of the lodge includes heating, gas and electricity.
Can I charge my electric car on site?
Yes, there is a Type 2 EV (5G) charging point on site. The supply to charge your vehicle is not included as part of the normal rental cost and under no circumstances should you use the plug sockets directly from the lodge as the electric supply will not be surge protected, which may result in damage to your vehicle

Do you have any rules for using the hot tub?
For your well being, health and enjoyment of the hot tub we insist that everyone reads the Hot Tub Policy before use.
Do you provide a barbecue?
The lodge and decking areas are made totally of wood and present a great fire risk. We therefore do not provide a barbecue and discourage their use.
Do you cater for specific accessibility needs?
The lodge is all on a single level with just an initial step up onto the front decking from the car parking spaces but if you have specific accessibility need then please give us a call to discuss.
Is there a mobile signal at the property?
Being in a rural area the mobile signal is not brilliant but seems quite adequate on most mobile networks.
Is there WIFI?
The lodge does have WIFI and it is quite adequate for general web usage/email etc but being in a rural area the speed is quite limiting for any other type of usage.
Can we smoke inside the lodge?
Elm Lodge is strictly non smoking.
