The lodge was spotlessly clean, beautifully presented, and had everything we needed.\nThe outdoor space was the highlight for us. We spent sunny evenings relaxing in the garden and hot tub after long days at Goodwood.\nThe location was perfect—peaceful and quiet, yet within walking distance of the village and beach.\nA special mention to Luca and Trina, whose communication was exceptional from start to finish. They were friendly, helpful and responsive, making everything completely stress-free.\nWe wouldn't hesitate to recommend Elderflower Lodge and hope to return one day. Thank you, Luca and Trina, for helping make our family weekend so memorable!" }, { "name": "Lucy", "date": "August 2026", "text": "Just wow! Place was incredible.
