  I used to camp at Limefitt when I was a child with my parents and have been many times.

  Now I have my own family we decided to return and I couldn’t have been more happy with how the site had been improved and cared for. It is in a great location and is very quiet. The views from the site are very nice. We walked up the hill at the back of the site (from the pub) and had a lovely view of lake Windermere and surrounding areas. The lodge was lovely. Very spacious, the decor and furnishings are very modern and looked new. No issues at all whilst we stayed and would book again. I am being very picky but there was dust under the beds and on some of the living area sides. Nothing major at all as I wiped it easily enough. Due to the time of year and the weather we had, it would’ve been good to have a place to put our walking shoes and coats as they got wet and muddy. But that is to prevent dirt in the lodge more than anything. But as I said before I would 100% book again as the lodge was comfy, warm and had home comforts. I brought my dog and felt he was included in our time away as we walked him round the site and used the dog field. Dogs are allowed in the pub too which is great. I would recommend the site and Lavender Lodge. I hope to return later this year as had such a brilliant 4 nights. Thank you to the owners of the lodge and the site for the time we had there.

  We had agreat week here, it was cosy and comfortable, and the location is fantastic. 10 minutes to Bowness on Windermere, 10 minutes to Kendal, 5 minutes to Staveley and the Hawkshead brewery. Be aware there are steep steps down to the living area/Bedroom, and that the toilet and bathroom are on the first floor, not a major issue when we booked but presented a few challenges as the wife was on crutches after a broken leg, we managed though. The welcome pack was very basic (2 bottles of beer & 2 cakes) so we would recomend taking some milk, bread, butter and cereal if you are arriving late. There is an excellent cafe and bakery a couple of minutes down the road, the breakfast there is a must! Also a good bakery next to Hawkshead Brewery in Staveley, and the Sun in just down the road does great food, and Pedro's Cassa in Kendal is amazing! Overall we had a great week here, and will definitely come back.

  We had a great long weekend stay here.

  The owner was very helpful and friendly. The cottage is in a very quiet spot but still close enough to everything you need. We would agree with other reviews that the chairs in the lounge area are very uncomfortable and the cottage was very small - some of the photos were taken from a very generous angle. This means that we probably wouldn't book a longer stay in this particular cottage but we would definitely try one of the others on the same site. It was very dog friendly with an enclosed yard and a dog exercise area nearby. We also definitely recommend the Anglers Arms in Haverthwaite which was also very dog friendly and served excellent food. If like us you just need a small place to stay for a weekend this is perfect.

  I had a partial refund for this booking due to the shower not working in the property.

  Looking at the feedback other people had left in the cottage, the shower issue and the fact the bath plug was faulty had been mentioned before and not been actioned so it was annoying to say the least. In addition the garden was unkempt , the grass hadn’t been cut and as a result we didn’t sit out in the garden which was a shame. As part of a welcome pack they include dishwater tablets but there is no dishwasher ?! This has also been mentioned previously. The front door lock/ key is really stiff to open and therefore could be a risk if there was a fire. This has also I believe been mentioned before. The cottage is lovely but it is these things that let it down.

  The basement property is in a good location with an excellent pub within walking distance. Nearby Staveley has a great cafe/bakery, pub and other useful shops. Plumgarths farmshop, cafe and an artisan bakery are just down the road and worth visiting. The property is clean, comfortable and the underfloor heating was effective. The stairs down to the lower ground floor living room area has low head height all the way down and there is also a low beam in the living room area. There is no longer a bicycle storage area at the property which was an issue as we were in the Lake District for a cycle sportive.
