What our customers say about their holidays

  We decided to book this lodge as a little getaway for our anniversary and it exceeded all of our expectations!

  We could not fault a single thing about the Lakeland View lodge, or Limefitt Park! We travelled from North Wales and arrived rather late on the Friday night, so we were both extremely tired and hungry. When we entered the lodge for the first time, we were hit with the lovely scent of home. What striked us first was how unbelieveably clean the lodge was, and how homely it felt with such a lovely open plan kitchen and living area. Of course the most amazing part of the whole experience in Lakeland View was the hot tub! An amazing addition to the already lovely lodge, which really gave it a relaxing feel. The hot tub was amazing to use after spending the weekend mornings exploring the local areas of Windermere and Kendal! The lodge also supplied all the things you would need for an enjoyable week/weekend away. Myself and my partner also loved how secluded and serene Limefitt Park was, but at the same time how close it was to Windermere, Kendal and Troutbeck; allowing us the time to relax in a peaceful enviroment, but also explore the local areas! The staff in Limefitt were also extremely helpful, always aiming to help when possible; the night time security guard especially, who ensured that (after our long drive to the park) the kitchen in the Haybarn Inn would take our food order despite it being past closing time. It was also very nice to be greeted whenever we entered the Haybarn Inn by the lovely barmaid. We would definitely recommend: The Haybarn Inn, which is onsite, for a lovely, warm atmosphere and scrumptious food! We'd also recommend the Ship Inn at Windermere, which is on the lake front - they serve delicious food after using your energy exploring the area! One lovely activity we enjoyed was hiring out a small boat to take on to Lake Windermere, which was a lot of fun for someone who had never been in a boat, never mind driven one before! An amazing holiday and anniversary, one we will not be forgetting any time soon! What did you enjoy most about your stay? Too many to list! Mainly: the hot tub!! and the fact that Limefitt Park was secluded enough to relax in peace and quiet, but local enough to Windermere, Troutbeck and Kendal to explore the areas! What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Our first day up in the Lake District, we hired a boat for the two of us for one hour on Windermere Lake. Lovely experience!

  Visited the lodge for a weekend away with a few girl friends, and we all left desperate to book again!

  The lodge is in a perfect location, it's easy enough to get to via car but far enough into the hills that you really feel the peace and quiet, and the views are fabulous. We were lucky we visited the week after all the snow however, as we were a little concerned we'd struggle to get to the site if the weather had been as bad as the weekend before! As soon as we arrived we felt at home; despite the rain outside the heating was quick to warm up and the lodge was stocked with all the amenities we could ask for, including teabags, coffee and hot chocolate. The furnishings are modern and chic, the bathrooms were spotless (love the stonework around the shower!), and the hot tub was a fabulous - and much appreciated - addition to the break! We cooked for ourselves each morning and one night, and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals in. The lodge had lots of useful leaflets for trips out in the local area, lists of restaurants and takeaways nearby, several DVDS and TV for when the weather isn't that great, and overall it provided everything you could require for a short break. We only spent two nights here but wished we'd had longer, and we would definitely return in the future! What did you enjoy most about your stay? The lodge itself was fantastic, everything we could need to feel at home plus the luxury of a hot tub on the decking. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? We took the boat trip across Lake Windemere, from Bowness to Ambleside - great especially on a clear day!

  This was our third time to visit the Lake District and our 2nd time staying at Limefitt Park.

  Limefitt for us is our favourite park, it is in a great location to walk the dog and is just a 10 min drive from Windermere centre and 15 mins from Bowness on Windermere (the lake) which again, provides a perfect setting for exploration with self drive electric boats to hire and plenty to see and do. The lodge was perfect for us, it was spacious, comfortable, clean and modern fitted with all the amenities needed and fully functional. There was plenty of storage and the direct access to the hot tub from master French doors was convenient. The lodge was lovely and cosy and warm. There was public WiFi connection which as this lodge was closer to the main reception it was easier to connect to as opposed to the lodge we staid at previously. The hot tub is surrounded around some privacy glass fencing and is located where it can What did you enjoy most about your stay?

  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.

  Lakeland View Lodge is in a perfect position close to the entry to the park.

  It has plenty of outdoor space, with a wrap-around balcony, seating area and hot tub, which we really enjoyed during the heatwave when we were there. The inside of the lodge is bright, light and deceptively spacious, containing everything you could possibly need. The decor is modern and attractive. An added bonus is the en-suite bathroom in the master bedroom and the spacious walk-in shower in the large main bathroom. It was great to be able to use the patio doors in the master bedroom to access the hot tub too! We loved this lodge and will definitely stay there again. Being dog friendly is a huge bonus and the gate at the top of the access ramp meant that the outdoor area was secure for our dog to explore. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The hot tub. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? White Moss walks - -Rydal and Grasmere.
