Caravan Description

We have just upgraded from our lovely old caravan to this beautiful, 41' x 14' , brand new, 2024 Mini Lodge. Many of our returning guests will be very pleased to see we have kept our unique style and give a 5* service which we delight in to everyone who stays.
Leisure passes, Bed Linen & cleaning is included in our prices so NO extra hidden charges.

We have also had new decking added, a huge 10ft at the front which will be having new relaxing outdoor furniture, a 4ft walkway sweeping down the side past a secure gate which then leads to another 8ft decking which will be set up for alfresco dining thus making it absolutely perfect for future guests. We have still kept some of the outside pictures until it is completed as we believe the plot on the park is one of the best.

We will be happily renting our lodge on Shorefield Country Park from February 2025, so if you’re looking for a cosy, spacious homely holiday or short break accommodation in a beautiful location on the Park, please read on to see what we have to offer.

Our brand new 2024 Mini Lodge is a very luxurious, residential spec ABI Ingleton.
It is a 41' x 14' model, so in-between a lodge and caravan size, making absolutely perfect for a family/group of 4/5 people and a dog.

The lodge is equipped to the very highest standard with a real home from home feel. It is filled with lovely objects to give it that much loved feel inside. Everything is top quality, yet very usable too, so you can relax and not worry about anything.

It is double glazed and boasts the latest domestic gas central heating in all the rooms, with a modern long radiator in the living area. Being of residential spec means it is very well insulated, so you can be sure of a comfortable stay in all seasons.

There is also allocated parking for 2 cars directly to the side of the Lodge, so you won't be overlooking them from the front decking.

The lounge area is extremely comfortable, stylish and beautiful with freestanding large sofas, one of which is a double sofa bed (bedding is supplied). The huge sliding patio doors open up onto the new large sunny decking which sweeps around the lodge. There is a 50 inch Smart TV mounted to the wall, with Netflix etc and a very attractive modern electric fireplace for cosy evenings underneath - this comes with a remote control for flame effects to use from the comfort of your sofa, plus a USB socket.

The layout is open plan so before walking into the fitted kitchen there is a very versatile breakfast bar with 2 stools, this also makes a amazing space to work on your computer or even do a jigsaw puzzle or as meant to eat your breakfast. Behind this great space is an entrance seat to sit and take off your shoes before putting them in the basket and your coat in the cloakroom cupboard so all neat and tidy. The side door into the property is also here.

As for the kitchen, it’s fitted with deluxe units in a soft green colour with brass finished fittings and comes complete with modern down lighters under each unit so again, very cosy at night.

There is a full size gas oven with separate grill with extractor hood, full size integrated fridge/freezer, microwave oven, full size dishwasher and washing machine plus a composite black stylish sink and all the usual things like toaster, slow cooker, kettle, cafetière, pots and pans, and so much more. There's also a DAB radio for quality listening.

The dining area has a free standing table and 4 comfy dining chairs, there is space to bring the table into the centre of the kitchen if you wish.

The main bedroom has a king size bed and again is luxury furnished with double wardrobes, a large dressing table, a wall-mounted 32” Smart TV and USB socket. The great part is it has a very large en-suite, with a full size shower, basin, WC and heated towel radiator.

The very good size second bedroom has full size twin beds (great for putting your suitcases under), a lovely dressing table, wardrobe, drawers and a USB socket.

Both bedrooms are stylishly furnished.

Across the corridor is a large family bathroom, again with a large shower, WC, modern sink & heated towel raidiator, also loads of storage for your personal belongings.

The Wi-Fi In The lodge is very good and your appliances will automatically connect to the Shorefield connection once there.

We supply an abundance of dishwasher tablets, washing machine tablets, washing up liquid and cleaning products, loo paper and kitchen towel as well as shower gels and hand washes and even dog treats & poo bags.

Cooking essentials are also supplied along with tea bags, coffee, sugar etc.
There is an Iron, ironing board, airer, vacuum cleaner, hairdryer for your convenience too.

Games, books, puzzles, a cool bag, binoculars and lots more are available for you to use.

Bed linen is included and beds will be made up ready for your arrival. There's also a heated blanket on the king size bed.

Outside Area

Going through the front patio doors there is a large wraparound decking that is gated at the entrance. Comfy outdoor chairs and a parasol, and to the side a bistro table and chairs, potted palms & plants are dotted about for a coastal feel.

There is also a decorative picnic bench on the front patio and a charcoal BBQ is also for your use along with utensils (charcoal not supplied).

There is so much more we could say, but hopefully the pictures will show you if this is the mini lodge for you to spend a fun or relaxing weekend/ holiday in.

We are always very happy to answer any questions you may have.
