• "We had a wonderful time at your property."

  Everything was thought about so thank you. My only feedback would be some of the cooking utensils were tired - there was a frying pan that should really be binned

  Thankyou - we will double check all kitchen items on our next visit Property Owner

• "We have stayed in many lodges on this site, We loved Ambleside Lodge."

  Everything worked and was very clean, had everything we needed and more. Very comfortable, a proper home from home. Loved the quiet position and the views. Our little dog loved the outside. The orange juice and milk was a lovely touch. We met the owner on the day we left, she was so nice and helpful. We cant wait to book again and have already recommended it to friends.

• "The complex felt very safe and the lodge was clean and well presented."

  The decor was nice and the lodge felt as though it was situated in a private part of the complex. We were delighted to find that there was an enclosed dog field a short walk away from the lodge where all dogs can be let off lead for a good run around. There were clean towels provided for all guests, and the beds were made up nicely. There was a sponge with tea towels and complimentary milk in the fridge on arrival! The bath and shower were both great with hot water and heating was available to turn up/down as and when we wanted. The heating was very good and responsive! We were 4 adults, 2 children and 2 dogs (with 2 dog crates) and had plenty of space! If I had a couple of requests, it would be for more hangers in the wardrobe as we were staying a week and there were only a few hangers for 2 adults in one room. Also, it would have been nice to have a spare bedding available to allow for a change of sheets during the week if wanted or in case of any issues. Perfect location for anywhere in the lakes you want to visit. Different places we travelled to were Ullswater (30 mins), Grasmere (18mins), Windermere (10mins), Ambleside (10mins), Derwent Water (50mins). We would definitely stay here again, it was ideal! There was a nice family pub on site too (The Haybarn) a 1 minute walk away from the lodge. We ate there on a few nights as it was so convenient and delicious too! There was a washing machine in the lodge so take some washing tablets if you fancied keeping up with any washing after hiking days out, etc. There are many books there and some family games, which was a nice touch. There was a smart TV with access to Netflix and Prime if you have your log ins to memory. Free WiFi, which gave us no issues and was a god send with the kids! We did have to call the owner when we got there but after turning the dongle off and on, it connected and worked fine for the rest of the stay. The decking part of the lodge was nice too with gates to keep it an enclosed area - nice and easy for the dogs when they needed fresh air without worry they would escape. Overall, we would all highly recommend this stay.

• "Great lodge in a quiet cul de sac on site."

  Very convenient for Ambleside, Windermere and Bowness together with great walks from the site. Pub on site is friendly, clean with sky sports showing, the food is average but ok. Would recommend the Mortal Man for eating just a 5 minute walk away

  We had a great time. Couple of points : On-suite extractor to noisy to use. The hoover main plug needs attention.

  Thankyou for your comments - we will get the issues sorted Property Owner

• "Lovely lodge, very comfortable for six and well equipped."

  Only comment for improvement from older parents was a lack of shelf in the ensuite shower for toiletries. Lots of storage, good heating if needed & plenty of dvds, games & books provided if weather turns. Lodge is well positioned with lovely views & surrounded by bird & wildlife & strolling distance to the onsite pub/ restaurant. Would definitely book again as a peaceful base for a family get together.

• "Really lovely stay."

  It was super comfortable and not overlooked at all with beautiful views. Great telly and facilities. We were a little disappointed the some of the side lights needed bulbs in the bedrooms and the windows / exterior could do with a clean but overall we loved it and hopefully will be back again. Would recommend staying here, location is perfect for travelling to and from including the lovely Queens Head pub which is literally a 3 min drive away.

• "We had a lovely week in Ambleside lodge."

  It has fantastic views & there are great walks straight from the door. It’s in a great position for visiting the surrounding area but far enough away from the crowded areas of the lakes. We would definitely recommend it & will book again when we’re next up in the Lakes area.

• "Our stay at Limefitt Park was everything we wanted."

  The park was small, clean and well maintained and the location was superb. Troutbeck is between Windermere and Ambleside, so we were centrally located which puts you right in the heart of the Lake District. The lodge was very comfortable and provided absolutely everything you could want when on holiday. We would definitely return and would recommend it to others for sure.

  The lovely touch on arrival of wine and chocolate. The lodge was cosy and very clean and milk and fresh orange juice was there when we arrived. I would also like to mention everything was catered for from coffee and condiments which you can easily forget shows they had thought of everything. The view from the lodge is amazing.

• "Lovely lodge, spent Xmas 2023 here, the addition of Christmas tree and decorations was a lovely surprise."

  The lodge Is situated at the back of park in a private location with no traffic passing by. Although the weather was terrible we were cosy. Everything you could possibly need. Just a couple of points - vacuum smelt like sick, we bought new bags and air freshener for hoover, still smelt, the rug in the lounge would benefit from a shampoo too and the outside light didn’t work up to front door which reading comments in guest book had been case for a while - although there was a torch provided. They are just really picky points, the lodge is beautiful we will hopefully be back in the summer. Thank to Syma you have a lovely lodge

  The lodge is very spacious in all areas and the furniture & beds make you feel very much at home. The decking area is clean & safe as it is composite and we spent many nights out there and it is also extremely good for the 4 legged friend as the decking area is securely gated. Good parking for 2 big cars. The Wi-Fi was excellent with it's reception no problems at all.

• "This is one of the best lodges we have stayed in both on limefitt and in the lakes ."

  Secluded location and perfect for dogs with a path into the woods directly to the side . The beds were all really comfy and everything in the lodge was of a great standard . Yes the WiFi is hit n miss but there’s plenty of distractions with the gorgeous views and surrounding places to visit so put the technology down for a view days and relax . The on-site pub does great food and amazing breakfasts and highly recommend the Queens pub on the opposite hill for Sunday lunch . Perfect stay .
