• "We had a fantastic week stay at Wainwright Lodge (Mon-Fri)."

  The location of the site itself was perfect - set in a stunning peaceful valley with incredible views but only a 8-12 minute drive to Ambleside, Windermere & Bowness. There’s a great pub on site with pool table, darts board & sky sports, plus a small conveince shop at reception. Booths supermarket is only 8 mins away too. The lodge itself was everything we could have asked for - clean, spacious, comfortable & ridiculously well equipped! The kitchen is a good size & had every pan & utensil you could need - pint glasses & plastic hot tub glasses were a bonus! The hot tub was powerful without being noisy & the views of the fields were bliss (plus we enjoyed spotting the occasional sheep!) Internet & smart TV in the lounge was spot on & check in and out was seamless. We couldn’t have asked for more, the owners have a gem on their hands with this one & we’re very much hoping to be booking again! 5* all round

  Thank you so much for your kind review. We have invested in a NEW Kitchen and NEW Hot tub to try to make our Lodge a great place to stay with all the necessary amenities . We also bought all new bath towels because a guest said they needed to be a little larger, so we do try to take on board the advise of our guests. The WiFi is excellent with great back up and we have the Large Smart TV . We are personally in the Lodge next week so we will give everything a check and an extra clean , we then we have guests up until the New Year when Limefitt closes for a few weeks in the winter. Thanks again for the wonderful Review and we hope to see you again at our in the Future . Property Owner

• "Beds and sofas were extremely comfortable."

  But the lodge wasn’t clean. Weird residue on cutlery. Cobwebs everywhere inside and especially outside the lodge. When you open a door from the outside there’s colonies of insects living inside the door frames. WiFi never worked, TV wouldn’t connect to any type of network, luckily we brought an XBOX down. Honestly if there was a little more effort on cleaning the lodge, it would of easily been 4 stars

  We have just returned from a week at Wainwright Lodge, infact we arrived as you left. Making it opportune to reply to your feedback. We are not sure about the weird residue on the cutlery? we have a dishwasher and there wasn't any residue on anything when we arrived so thanks for cleaning off whatever you found. There are Cobwebs are on the outside of the Lodge, infact (and we had a walk around site to check) there are Cobwebs on pretty much every Lodge. This said we cleaned them all off, this is normally done when required by ourselves, or our window cleaner, so apologies for this. I checked indoors for Cobwebs and I found 2 small one hidden in a corner, again apologies and these have now been cleaned. I opened and checked the 3 main doors and every window and I couldn't find any insects, honestly I have no idea about the colonies living in the door frames, they certainly aren't there now. The Lodge was cleaned 6 times in August alone, it is absolutely immaculately clean. We also gave it a super clean as well before we left. The WiFi was working throughout your visit, it powers the Google Thermostat and WiFi for the TV, the heating always worked so the WiFi must have been was running. The TV however had been disconnected, also all the Colour/Contrast/Brightness etc had been adjusted to max, perhaps children ?. The only WiFi onsite is Parkdean WiFinity , I called their helpline and the TV was reconnected within 2 minutes. I understood you had been given the WEiFinity Helpline number. However to avoid the problem in future for other guests we have put the Help number on the back of the vinyl about WiFi in the Lodge below the TV itself, any problems give them a call they are very Helpful. Many Thanks for your feedback and we look forward to you visiting Wainwright again in the future. Property Owner

  The lodge was fabulous the pool staff and staff at the pub was amazing however the facilities were lacking we would use the lodge again but the site facilities are rubbish

  We are delighted you thought the Lodge was Fabulous as we have invested in the NEW Kitchen and the New Hot tub to make it a great place to stay. Saying the site facilities are rubbish is a bit harsh, we think it depends on what you are looking for, there are 2 great Pubs within walking distance, dog walking area, many many great walks starting from Limefitt, and a football pitch/play areas for the children. However I suppose its fair to say these things are focused to appeal most to Dog owners, walkers, and cyclists. Property Owner

• "Really enjoyed our stay, lovely presented lodge and everything we needed, however, the sofas were covered in dog hair and crumbs as we arrived so had to hoover them ourselves."

  Not usually an issue as we have a dog ourselves so understand this is likely but looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in a while. Other than that our stay was perfect and we would recommend others to stay.

  Delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Wainwright Lodge and you had a perfect stay. We can only apologise that the sofas had some dog hairs and crumbs on them, the Lodge is given a good clean after every visitor and the Hot Tub has a full water change and new chemicals. We have asked our cleaner to pay particular attention to the Sofas in future. Many Thanks for your feedback and we hope to welcome you back to Wainwright in the near future. Property Owner

  Everything was perfect, only recommendation we would make was to have some outdoor comfy lesiure chairs to take advantage of the stunning location

  Thank you for your excellent review it really is rewarding to hear everything was perfect, Wainwright Lodge really is in a perfect spot. Thanks for your feedback about the chairs I'm thinking perhaps you missed the comfy cushions for the outdoor dining furniture ?

• "We loved our stay at the lodge."

  Fluffy towels and the most comfortable beds we have slept in!! The hot tub was a gods send when it rained non stop, and the facilities in the kitchen were great. The showers were hot and powerful, and the heating very efficient. All five of us, plus the dog really enjoyed our stay! The only small thing would be there was only one hand wash in the en-suite, which we moved to the main bathroom, so we didn’t use the en-suite toilet as there was nothing to wash our hands with. If we had known in advance we would have brought some extra with us.

  Thank you for the great feedback, we are glad you enjoyed the super comfy beds and fluffy towels, we are very conscious to always keep our bedding and linens in top condition. NEW for 2024 is the BRAND NEW HOT TUB which we just had installed, also NEW for 2024 is the BRAND NEW KITCHEN, all stocked with an excellent array of equipment. Sorry you were a hand soap short, we have one in each bathroom now. Property Owner

• "This is our second stay here and we love the lodge its spacious and clean and also in a great location, the hot tub is an added bonus and great to relax in after a long day walking."

  Everything we needed was provided in the lodge and we thoroughly enjoy coming here for a week in December for my Husbands birthday. My only quibble is i was ready to book again when we returned for next December but can see the price has gone up by nearly 150 for the same week we stayed this year, is there a reason for this massive increase in price

  Thank You very much for your kind review and for visiting Wainwright Lodge for a second time we do appreciate this and are delighted you love the Lodge. We have increased the price for 2024 although the price for 2023 hardly changed from 2022. During these two years we have faced huge increases in the Park Dean "pitch fees" for the Lodge, along with increases in Gas and Electric, the rates, the water bills and cleaning charges, in effect the much discussed "cost of living" increases. In addition to this we are investing a lot of money to keep Wainwright Lodge in top condition, we installed a brand new Hot Tub in November '23 and we are having a new kitchen with new floors and complete redecoration, this is being completed during the Winter 2023 shutdown of Limefitt Park. I hope this explains why the price has gone up but we do hope to see you again in 2024 Property Owner

• "Thoroughly enjoyed our week stay in Wainwright this is the second time we have stayed in this lodge."

  The only comment I would make is regarding cleaning the main living area. The cleaners need to move the two sofas and clean beneath them, we had to move them to find the dogs ball and actually ended up cleaning this area ourselves which was not ideal as the dust was quite thick and full of dog hair (which you would expect). This is our only negative comment - we look forward to staying at Wainwright again in the near future.

  Thanks for your feedback Gez we are delighted you had a good week at Wainwright Lodge. We do apologise that you found some dust under the Living room sofas. Since your feedback we have asked our cleaner to make an effort to clean regularly under the sofas. We also visited ourselves after you left and stayed for a week, during this time we gave Wainwright an extra clean as well. Can I also add that we have just had a brand NEW Hot Tub fitted so we do hope to see you for another visit in Wainwright Lodge in the New Year. Property Owner

• "Lodge situated in a lovely place with view of the hills, playing field where Roe deer and sheep visit."

  Hot tub was perfect after long walks around the Lakes. Nice walks around the site into the hills. On site pub also nice to visit, serving food too. Site is very well maintained and clean. Site only a short distance from Windermere and the main road leading to Ambleside and Grasmere so perfect for day trips. We really enjoyed our stay here.

  Many Thanks for your kind feedback. We agree Wainwright Lodge is in a very nice spot on the edge of Limefitt, it is indeed lovely to watch the Deer and the "Herdys". We visit the Lodge regularly to make sure its in perfect condition for our guests. We love the Lake District and always find something new to do every time we go.

  Delighted that you thought Wainwright was a lovely lodge, we really do make a lot of effort to keep it in tip top condition.

• "Thank you for your gesture of goodwill."

  Had it not been for the following we would have rated top marks.... *lodge description inaccurate (no private wifi) *no coffee maker upon arrival (thank you for providing mid stay) *hot tub water level kept dropping and required me to call for service (they said they were due to come with engineer during our stay and that we should have been informed which we were not) *some cooking oil would have made our meals run smoother- would have expected this as a basic along side the salt and pepper *no instruction on location of DVD player meant we didn't locate it for days given it was in such an obscure location The location was great and the beds comfortable. The availability of a fan and cot made our stay with a 2 year old much better given the heat. Some bug screens or similar for the patio doors would be very useful for your guests given the closeness to trees/forest. We were covered in bites by time we left.

  i will try to answer the comments and feedback you made. In terms of WiFi Wainwright Lodge now has the brand new private Park Connect+ Fast WiFi which is provided by ParkDean. Apart from running the Smart TV its also capable and perfect for running software like Microsoft Teams, I use Teams with no issues when working from the Lodge. Although the Advert had not been updated this High speed WiFi was running throughout your visit, we have however amended the Ad to avoid confusion. The Cafetiere was missing as you suggest, unfortunately this must have been broken by a previous visitor and unfortunately this hadn't been reported to us, we however replaced it with a new one immediately. The Hot Tub water level was a bit low and this was rectified immediately . As I suggested in previous reviews, any issues with the Tub please ask the Tub guys and they will sort it promptly, they visit daily. Provision of cooking oil, its not really possible for us to maintain a fully stocked kitchen i'm afraid. Sorry you couldn't find the DVD if you had asked when you asked about the Cafetiere we could have told you where it was. As a further comment not many people ask for the DVD now it seems to have been replaced by using the Smart TV. I'm glad the cot and Fan we provided were useful . We spent the week in Wainwright Lodge prior to your arrival and I guess we must have been lucky as we didn't get a single bite! Perhaps its best to close the patio door to keep the bugs out. Thanks for the feedback and I hope my reply explains the issues you had Property Owner

  Bathrooms were clean and spacious and lots of clean towels were provided. We did have an issue with the hob which if you were doing a lot of cooking could have been a problem as it was difficult to light. The main reason we booked this lodge was for the hot tub which was situated on the decking overlooking the mountains which was lovely. Unfortunately the hot tub did not work correctly, it was hot but the jets were not working to full capacity, we reported this and somebody came out to check it, they were unable to resolve the issue and based on the information they provided it seems that there is a on going issue with the hot tub. It was very disappointing as this was a main feature of our break, and I feel that if it was an ongoing issue maybe we could have been informed prior to us arriving, and some kind of resolution could have been reached, regarding either another lodge or a monetary reduction.

  We are delighted you thought Wainwright Lodge was beautiful, spacious and very clean. We have really focused on cleanliness during the Covid period and will continue to do so. Thanks for your comments about the Hot Tub, we have had the Tub checked by an Engineer, as you said it was working but one jet was weaker, we are pleased to say as of 19th November the Engineer managed to restore the power to that jet and the Tub is now operating at 100% efficiency.

  Firstly we would like to say the lodge is in a nice location, not overlooked with the added bonus of a hot tub and the guy who came out every day was very pleasant and friendly, all staff on site including the Haybarn were very friendly. We had problems with the fridge keeping food cool, this was reported and somebody came out while we were out and an email was received saying the fridge was working fine and implied the vents were blocked, by this time we had to throw out fresh produce and had ice packs inside to try and keep butter cool including a birthday cake. There was no improvement to the coolness of the fridge for the duration of our holiday, it was last tested in 2018 we would recommend a service. We also had a power cut for 7 hours, which was also reported and it came back on the morning we were leaving which spoilt our last evening. We would like to address, as have other recent visitors regarding the huge price increases for 2022, we booked this lodge in July 2020 for £1134.00 for 7 nights in 2021 and the same week if we wanted to return in July 2022 is £2030!! Even with the effects of covid 19 and inflation this price increase is unethical and unjustified. Unfortunately as other visitors have commented you have outpriced us returning.

  Thank you for your feedback, we are delighted that you appreciated the excellent position of Wainwright Lodge with its delightful views up the valley, of course best viewed from the Hot Tub! Our apologies for the fridge it seems that it was working intermittently, this said we replaced it with a new Fridge Freezer unit on Friday. It has been difficult to source a replacement with poor availability and delayed deliveries at the moment. In the interim we had a temporary unit in place. The power cut was throughout the site and is very unusual and outside of our control. Please accept our apologies. In terms of the pricing this runs on a dynamic model, and higher prices are based on higher demand, however if the Lodge has lower demand the prices will fall. Please be reassured that all our guests who booked throughout the pandemic and had to cancel due to Covid were all given full no quibble refunds. Property Owner

• "It’s a great lodge in a fantastic position looking up towards the hills."

  Especially Lovely when in hot tub.I could not fault anything with this lodge. Staff on site were very friendly. Would of loved to rebook for next year but unfortunately prices have doubled.

  Thank you very much for your very kind comments about Wainwright Lodge, it really is in a great spot and as you suggest the view from the Hot Tub is fantastic. Regarding the price, the prices for July 2022 have increased and you may see a larger difference due to your booking being made back in 2019 and having to be moved twice due to the pandemic. A lot has happened with Covid in that time during which we have honoured the prices our lodge was booked at and given full no quibble guarantees throughout. It would be our pleasure as owners to have you visit our lodge again in the future. Property Owner

  This lodge is looking tired and the photographs on you website do not portray the true condition of the fixtures fittings and furniture

  Thank you for your feedback. We are disappointed with your comments but I can assure you the photographs were only taken about 18 months ago. Since then the biggest change has been the upgrade of the 65inch TV and supporting personal WiFi. We have also removed some of the soft furnishings and ornaments in line with Covid recommendations. Wainwright is our own personal Lodge and we invest in the fixtures and fittings continuously and we will continue to do this as we move forward. Property Owner

  Had a great weekend and wanted to re book but after seeing the prices have now almost tripled i will not return which is a shame after a superb weekend in a great lodge on a great park.

  Thank you for your feedback, we are delighted you could not fault Wainwright Lodge. In terms of prices we can only comment on Wainwright Lodge where the prices going forward have increased slightly to reflect the demand for UK Staycations. We do hope you will return and enjoy another fabulous stay. Property Owner

• "Limefitt is always a pleasure."

  I am shocked and disappointed to see the rates for lodges you are charging for later this year and into 2022 its a joke and completely unethical in my opinion. Its likely we will not return in the near future which is a huge disappointment - two and a half times what we have just paid for 4 nights is just not acceptable. I would appreciate your comments

  We are delighted you found your visit to Wainwright Lodge a pleasure. In terms of prices we can only comment on Wainwright Lodge where the prices going forward have increased slightly to reflect the demand for UK Staycations. It is also the case that during this covid period many guests have received no quibble full refunds for cancellations or were allowed to move cancelled dates to late 2020 and 2021 at no extra cost. We do hope you will return and enjoy another fabulous stay with us. Property Owner

• "We had a fantastic stay at Wainwright Lodge, everything was clean and tidy when we arrived."

  Plenty of space and wifi with built in Netflix on the main tv was great for the evenings. The Hot Tub was brilliant, we used this ever night after our days of exploring. We ate from The Haybarn and the food was delicious, our dog, George, enjoyed the dog field and he also enjoyed watching the sheep and lamb from our decking that came to visit each night. Can’t wait to return!

  It is great to receive your super positive feedback comments, we have focused even more than ever on cleanliness throughout the covid period with extra attention on all elements of the cleaning regime for Wainwright Lodge. We also visit ourselves on a regular basis to make sure we are personally happy with everything. The superfast Wainwright Lodge dedicated WiFi means not only is the 60 inch TV is great but it is also possible to work from the Lodge when necessary. Oh and glad George enjoyed his stay.

• "We went to wainwright lodge for Christmas 2020, we had an amazing time."

  The lodge is cosy and has everything you need, a little tired in need of a few touch ups other than that it was perfect. We had an issue with WiFi and even when reported nothing was done to rectify this, with it being Christmas we planned on using Facebook portal to see family which without the WiFi we were unable to do. The hot tub is great with an amazing view probably the best spot on the site view wise. The site has a pub which at the moment is closed but a little up the road was a lovely pub called the Queens head, there is a dog field and park which was great for my daughter and two dogs we took with us. Great place for winter we even got snow on Christmas Day. Prefect break, we even tried to extend our stay but it was already booked up and hoping to book for next Christmas. Highly recommend. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Views What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Queens head pub

  Thank you for the review, Amy. We are delighted you enjoyed your Christmas break at Wainwrights Lodge and so pleased you are planning to return. With that in mind we shall certainly do all we can to make sure the wifi is working. We are sorry there was a problem that we were not able to fix for you. The wifi is provided by Parkdean Resorts and as you know they had closed for the season and were therefore not available to put it right. The owners have been made aware and will chase it up with the park management as soon as they reopen. Thank you for letting us know. Despite this matter we are delighted you enjoyed your stay and would recommend the lodge to others. Thank you. We look forward to you returning in the near future. Property Owner

• "Wainwright Lodge is located on a site with many other lodges and facilities such as a nice pub, laundrette, dog walking field, picnic spots, play area for kids and a shop!"

  That being said, it still has a really rural remote feeling to it, because the site itself is in such a beautiful location surrounded by nature walks up hills, and fields with sheep! Its an easy 10 minute drive to Windermere, so perfectly located. The lodge itself probably has the best view in the house with a beautiful, always warm hot tub overlooking great scenery (and the stars at night are something special)! It is comfortable whilst not feeling cramped with a modern fitted kitchen and all the mod cons, the bed was SUPER comfy (we actually bought a new duvet when coming home because of how comfy this one was)!! It has a smart TV with all the apps (for people wanting to chill out) and stays lovely and warm throughout. The game changer for us was that they were both dog friendly AND baby friendly as this was our first family holiday all together and I wouldn't have changed a single thing. We had an amazing time here, I would absolutely recommend it to anyone and want to come back!! What did you enjoy most about your stay? Getting in the hot tub and watching the sun set over the hills What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Go and eat at the Drunken Duck inn - the food is exceptional!
