  Ust as lovely as it looks in the pictures!

  Luxurious cottage in stunning village with incredible views! Thankyou for allowing us to stay, even though only 2 nights were available in this peak time. Garden secure & beautiful. Cottage excellent standard, lovely waterfall shower, clean & tidy. Had couple of maintenance things to report but Sykes / caretakers were quick to respond, so assume was sorted for the next people? These were that the wooden door covering the fridge door was hanging off and dangerous ( very heavy and ready to fall from a height). No tools available or we could have unscrewed the remaining hinge and at least made it safe. The kettle had a slow leak so sat in a puddle of water! Only other comment is that there were a few cobwebs ( handfuls when plugging things in!) and the towels were tiny/ thin. Have since visited 2 more Sykes cottages with thick large fluffy towels which emphasised the contrast. A note about the ‘short’ driveway might alsobe helpful to some - our average 4WD was a squeeze to close the gate, so had to unpack and let the dogs in/out with the gate open. A truck or van would not fit. Shap village very friendly & gorgeous abbey cafe on the high street. Greyhound inn great food again very friendly .Swimming pool was very cold. Nice to explore a different part of the lakes.

  We have just returned from a week in the Lakeland view lodge and we have had a great time !

  It is our second time visiting limefitt park and the site is beautiful, very clean, amazing views and things to do for the children like the park and paddling in the river. The Lodge itself was immaculate and had everything you could want in it we had a lovely stay. The hot tub is our personal favourite. They Haybarn on-site is lovely with great views from the terrace , I do feel the opening times are restricted however and would benefit from being open through the day rather than just an evening. We ate at a lovely little pub near to the site called the queens head and the food was amazing would highly recommend. My only constructive criticism would be the bedroom doors lead out onto the hot tub and the room does smell quite strongly of foist which I presume comes from the mat/carpet off it getting wet from people going in and out of those doors, may be worth changing carpet to hard floor, however this did not affect our stay it was still amazing and we will be back.

  We had the most wonderful time here at Lakeland Veiw Lodge.

  The lodge was clean and fresh, very welcoming, gorgeous comfortable sofas and beds, the main shower was amazing, so powerful a joy to use after a day out. The lodge had everything you could possibly need or want, kitchen was so well equipped, the fabulous bifold doors in the lounge were wonderful to open and take in the views, bringing the outside in, perfect.The hot tub was a great bonus, so lovely to relax in after a busy day or whenever, it is positioned so well, nice and private and again with stunning views. We have stayed here at Limefit Park on many occasions as it suits us so well with our two dogs, we love the Park and have both agreed this Lodge has definitely been the best and most comfortable out of all the others we have stayed in, it ticked all the boxes and more. We will definitely be booking this lodge again and can't wait. Thank you for a fabulous stay.

  We had a lovely holiday staying in your property, such a great location to just switch off from everything.

  I have already recommended the house to several of my friends with dogs as it was just the perfect location to walk them straight from the house. We have already spoken about booking again the next time we want to go to the lakes. The cottage was well maintained and has great facilities. A washing machine and dryer is such a bonus, especially after muddy walks. Also I loved the bath and spent several evenings relaxing with a book. We loved the wood-fire. The only down-side was the previous tenants had been smoking inside and the smell was quite strong. Obviously no fault of the owner as the no smoking rules are quite clear, just a shame. I did my best to try and lift the smell by opening all the windows/using air freshener but it will probably require some deep cleaning. Overall a wonderful holiday, we will definitely be back

  Directions were incorrect - the house was on the right not the left and due to the gates having been repainted was not easily recognisable from the photos.

  Whilst the garden was very pretty, the grass was extremely long which made it difficult to enjoy, and possibly contributed to us being heavily bitten whilst there, very unusual for us (and we live in the countryside normally). There were no instructions for the property such as for bins etc, or how to use anything. There were leaflets for days out, but some very ‘local’ information would also be helpful, such as walking to Shap village too. The property was clean and tidy, and we understand in an old property there would creaky floorboards etc but the main bed in particular was very creaky which I’m sure could be improved. It would also have been helpful to have been prepared for the exceptionally narrow road to the village, as whilst we are familiar with country roads, this is particularly narrow for a small portion.
