"Welcoming cosy property."
Cleaning essentials under sink. All the essentials in kitchen. First place we have stayed where we did not feel the need to clean! All the home comforts. Location perfect, good views all around and veranda is beautiful just to sit on and take in views and watch the sheep. Shower excellent. Just a lovely well looked after property. We left it as we found it, quick hoover and wiped floor over, so easy to do. We were worried on arrival as had read reviews about guests being accused of damage. So we did quick inventory took photos of things we found eg ring on coffee table, crack in sink and on floor tiles there were more but not all listed here, I stress these things in no way affected our stay, but we just took that precaution. Left there feeling chilled relaxed rested. Will be booking again. Also key safe excellent
Thank you for your feedback and so glad you enjoyed your stay at Ramblers' Rest! I'm in the process of getting the sink replaced and will check everything over when I am next there. I look forward to welcoming you back! Jo (& Charley) Property Owner

"We are both disabled ex-walkers, we found the facilities not very accessible, there is not enough disabled parking for the bar/restaurant etc."
The lodge was lovely but we had hiccups with TVs, There is a poor selection of freeview channels, we had trouble with the main TV freezing many times and had to change the batteries in the remote. We found the seating really low and uncomfortable and hard to get up from, without a struggle. The cleaning equipment was left dirty, the hoover was full, brushes full of hair, shovel dirty etc. Door mat was matted with dog hair, and the bed settee was filthy and littered underneath. We had a nice time, but did expect a little better considering the cost.
Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry you had trouble with the TVs, this has never been raised before but I'll get it looked into. The sofabed, loveseat and chair were bought only a couple of years ago. I'm sorry you found them too low and uncomfortable. I will raise the cleaning issues with the cleaner, my apologies for this.

"Lovely location and central to everywhere."
The on site pub wasnt that nice and overpriced. It seemed to need some updating. Cabin was lovely, with excellent bathroom and kitchen facilities. The beds were so comfy, with excellent quality bedding, we wanted to sleep in! Only downside was that the mugs in the cupboard had ring marks inside, the slate table mats were dirty and the remote control for the TV was dirty and sticky and the cooker hood really dusty. The cute little stool in the living room collapsed as soon as I pulled it towards me to elevate my sore knee, but previous guests may not of flagged this. I managed to screw the screw back in as much as I could with a knife, but it needs attention. I think it would be helpful if there was a an enclosed dog walking section, so that we could let our dogs off lead. Although the park is dog friendly, we appreciated that the dogs needed to be on a lead around the cabins, but the dogs had to be on lead in the dog friendly field zone? Our overall stay was nice and the outdoor chairs comfortable and relaxing decking. Lovely and quite park too and enjoyed the jets going over low in the sky too :-)
Thank you so much for your feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. I'm so sorry there were issues with the cleaning, I have raised these with the cleaner. The stool has now been fully mended, thanks for highlighting it. The onsite pub and dog field are owned by the park so I will forward your feedback on to them. I agree about needing a secure dog field and it's something the owners have been requesting for a while. I'm hoping this will change in the future. I look forward to welcoming you back, Jo (& Charley) Property Owner

"We really enjoyed our stay at Ramblers Rest - the location was perfect, peaceful and a good spot from which to explore the lakes."
The cabin itself was very clean and comfortable with pretty much everything needed for our stay - the bed was one of the most comfortable we’ve ever slept in! It was great to have a pub on-site, serving pretty tasty food, and there are also some other pubs local - The Queen’s Head is a lovely pub serving great food!

"The holiday was brilliant and had a really nice stay, unfortunately the only reason I have rated 7 out of 10 is because sykes have since rang once I arrived home to say we had damaged the sofa providing a picture of a mark that was present already on arrival, even though we have photos to show this was already present."
They are trying to take a bond for damages we haven't committed and this has put a cloud over what was otherwise a very pleasant stay.
Thank you for your feedback, we are glad that you enjoyed your stay at Ramblers' Rest. We would like to apologise for any upset we caused by following up with you in regards to the damaged sofa. We have now come to the understanding that the damage was already there upon your arrival and the case will now be closed. The owner relations team - Lake District Lodge Holidays Property Owner

"We have stayed in a number of lodges over the years and this has been the best one."
Well furnished, nicely decorated with lots of nice touches, warm and cosy. Kitchen well equipped. Comfy beds.Main bedroom en-suite lovely with good shower. Main bathroom good too. Lovely views due to patio windows front and to the side. Well equipped with garden furniture. Would definitely stay here again.
Thank you for your feedback and so happy you enjoyed your stay! Property Owner

"Rambler's rest, very good and could be made better by: attending to patio doors, these are misaligned, l/h door looking from inside can be closed and locked with a little difficulty."
r/h door can be closed but not locked, so the lodge is insecure. plus the windows, inside and out, could do with regular cleaning
Thank you for your feedback and glad you enjoyed your time at Ramblers' Rest. Unfortunately, the sticking of the patio doors is a common problem with lodges, due to the expansion and contraction related to heat. They are regularly checked and adjusted, but I'll make sure they are looked at again. The windows are cleaned externally twice per month. I'll follow up with the cleaner about the inside of the windows. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Property Owner

"We cannot find any fault with our break at Ramblers rest."
Even the heavy rain could not dampen our spirits. The Haybarn was fantastic. The staff were absolutely brilliant and should feel proud of their work ethic whilst short staffed. We will be returning a.s.a.p.

"Lovely lodge in a great location near to couple of cracking pubs Mortal Man and Queens Head both 15 mins walk with good food and beer."
Limefitt Park is ideal for dogs as we found the dedicated Dog Field invaluable for our energetic Border Collie who loved it ! Lodge was ideal especially with the ensuite shower bathroom in the main bedroom as well as the main bathroom as we had 4 adults staying. The Haybarn pub on the park is nice for a drink but food was disappointing. Ideal lodge for people with dogs who like walking in the day, going to good pubs at night and have all the comforts of home absolutely top notch holiday !
Thank you for your feedback, we are delighted to hear of how much you enjoyed your stay. The owner of Ramblers' Rest takes great pride in her lodge and has made it a real home away from home. We are delighted you enjoyed the local area and hope to see you return soon. Property Owner

"Ramblers Rest is one of the nicest lodges we have stayed in!"
It was spotlessly clean throughout and very well presented. Lots of little touches such as books and board games too. We will definitely be booking again soon!

"Lodge was amazing and was kept up to date with check in and directions."
Was just like the photos and the site is beautiful and tranquil. Will definitely be going back.
Thank you for the excellent review, Mrs Andrews. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay. Ramblers Rest has been tastefully updated for guests to simply relax and unwind.

"The sofa is really hard and uncomfortable."
A footstool would be a good addition as I was unable to put my feet up. It was spotlessly clean and very well appointed. The patio door sticks quite badly if you open both doors. Would recommend this lodge but the price has gone up so much don't think we will be able to come back ☹
Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry to hear you found the sofa uncomfortable. The owner has taken onboard your comments and would like to advise a new sofabed, loveseat and chair have been ordered. The owner has also order a footstool following your recommendation. We are sorry you had an issue with the patio doors, this is common amongst lodges as the doors expend with the heat and stick. Unfortunately, there is not much we can do with those and please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused. We are constantly reviewing our prices and they are up for review soon with regards to 2022 prices, it would be our pleasure to welcome you back. Property Owner

"A lovely lodge, well equipped and very clean."
Limefitt is a great base to reach the north and south lakes with Windermere just a few minutes away by car. Our holiday was super easy to book via Lake District Holiday Lodges and we would book again in the future. Highly recommended and friendly experience. Thank you!

"As a family we love the lakes and each time we visit we like to stay somewhere different."
Ramblers Rest is situated in a brilliant location of Bowness and a short drive from Ambleside and Grassmere and whilst on the whole the lodge served a purpose for the week I was disappointed on the cleanliness of it. When booking I requested a travel cot for my 15 month daughter (I had intended on bringing my own but I was very optimistic thinking I could get all of our belongings into a golf so assumed the travel cot would be fine), what we were left was disgusting; a travel cot stinking of damp and covered in live mould. I appreciate you take the risk when requesting these items with a constant flurry of guests but this is appalling to expect a child to sleep in this. Needless to say she didn What did you enjoy most about your stay? The location What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Rydale water
Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear of your concerns regarding the cleanliness of the lodge. You made us aware of the travel cot on your departure and this was removed immediately. It was not acceptable, and we are sorry. Had you let us know soon after arriving at the lodge we would have dropped another one off straight away as we certainly would not have expected you to use that one. Ramblers Rest comes with its own travel cot and needless to say had not been checked or used for some time. Your concerns have been discussed at length with the housekeepers and we are sure there will be no further issues with the lodge. We are sorry that your lodge experience was not to your satisfaction, this is not what we like to hear, and we shall do all we can to make sure something similar is not repeated. As you love the Lakes and the location of Ramblers Rest we do hope that you will consider returning in the near future, it will be a pleasure to welcome you and we are sure you will have a very enjoyable stay.

"The Cabin had a musky dog smell throughout so we had to buy air fresheners."
We found used ear buds and dirty socks in twin room with also litter behind sofa . The double bed is so uncomfortable we cut our stay short because it was impossible to have a good nights sleep . The cabin is compact but has everything you need just spoilt by the issues above . What did you enjoy most about your stay? Limefitt Park What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Brockhole
We are sorry to hear a few things were not quite to your satisfaction and you cut short your stay, Liam. The mattress on the double bed was replaced at the start of the season although noting you find it uncomfortable, we will check for any signs of damage and advise the lodge owners accordingly. We shall also speak with the housekeepers and draw their attention to a few things that had been overlooked. It is most unusual for this lodge and we are sorry. We do hope that you will consider returning for another stay as Ramblers Rest is in a great location and is a delightful holiday retreat. Property Owner

"Had a great break with the family over new year."
The lodge although smaller than previous lodges we have stayed in is very cosy and probably the best equipped. This is not just with the dedicated Broadband, Smart TV, TVs in bedrooms and Playstation 2, but in every aspect right down to having sufficient cooking utensils. Despite the cold weather the lodge was lovely and warm, which is an important factor when travelling with my elderly mother. The only point for improvement would be to look at changing the mattress in the double room and some better pillows as this was not the most comfortable. We have stayed quite a few times at Limefitt as it is ideally located but also offers great views and walks directly from the site. We would definitely look to book this lodge again and would recommend. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Spending time with the family away from the everyday stress What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Didn't do it on this occasion, but the onsite pony trekking is very good.
Thank you for the lovely comments, Susan. We are delighted to hear you had a great time at Ramblers Rest. Noting your suggestions, we will follow these up and also advise the lodge owners. Thank you for letting us know. This two-bedroom holiday lodge with hot tub is a super place to stay. Cosy, and super-duper equipped for a relaxing and enjoyable break in the Lakes. Property Owner

"Far better than expected Only small recommendation Toilet seat in main bathroom should be replaced due to what appears to be a burn mark, would also recommend provision of small waste swing type bin on balcony."
Please note these are recommendations and NOT a criticism, Did not experience any problems with mattress as others appear to have had. We were delighted with the Lodge and the site which appears to be extremely well managed. We have owned our own lodge for a number of year in north wales and this lodge was as clean and comfortable as we kept our own lodge, We will return next year Thank you for your kind gift as your 40,000 customer it was very much appreciated What did you enjoy most about your stay? the location What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? take a trip to Coniston

Limefitt is a big park with lots of lodges. But, the only sounds that we heard was the Beck running through the park and the birds singing. It is a lovely, peaceful park with excellent views. We found the dishwasher very useful as well as the storage space in the kitchen and main bedrooms.

"A lovely lodge set in the valley close to all the lake district has to offer."
The lodge was well equipped and was warm and cozy. Great that the lodge had wifi and loads of TV channels. The kitchen had everything we needed. Although the lodge was clean enough, it could do with a deep clean. Very dusty on the shelf above the bed, mold around taps and bottom of shower screen and oven needs a clean, etc. All was great apart from the lodge needs cleaning properly (not just a quick clean, ready for the next guests). It was as though the season had come to an end. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Location and being able to relax quietly with wifi and tv in the evenings. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Take a walk to Windermere from the lodge
Thank you for your review, Sophie. We were pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay at this cosy and well-equipped lodge, although we note your further comments and apologise that the lodge was not quite as clean as you are entitled to expect. As we were not made aware at the time of your stay we were not able to rectify the problem. Had you done so we would have asked the cleaners to return and undertake whatever cleaning was necessary and to your satisfaction. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and on our part, we will be closely monitoring the lodge. Ramblers rest is beautiful, a really cosy retreat for a relaxing break in the Lakes ? complete with its own broadband connection to keep everyone happy! We would be delighted to welcome you again in the very near future and are sure you will find everything to your satisfaction. Property Owner

"Last minute opportunity for a 4 day break after having recently lost our older Westie , Maggie, who was blind and did not adopt to strange environments very well ."
The place was pet friendly and ideal for our other little Westie , Poppy , so we took a lovely , relaxing "family" break together . We took our own , but there was even a dog bed and throws provided - this was the only evidence that there had been pets as the lodge was immaculate in all areas . Ideal location , central on site , walking distance from Hay barn pub . Lovely glass frontage in lodge and side windows giving lots of light and impressive views . (Unfortunately the weather was not kind enough to use the outside seating area but would be ideal in drier spells ) . The lodge was very well equipped , decent w-fi reception , 3 x TV's and even a games console any kids ! Lovely comfortable base to use and only 10 minutes drive from either Bowness or Ambleside - although the narrow lanes and lack of footpaths do not favour walking anywhere . Already looking to re-book longer for 2018 , can't wait . What did you enjoy most about your stay? Proximity to everything nearby and well run site . What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Lakeland Distillery - fascinating , recommend booking in advance for a tour - just north of Keswick .

"A couple of things tea coffee sugar cannister would make it better foil for oven trays left enough washing up liquid for about 2 washes on arrival we was early and went into office to get fob for gate to be informed we couldn't have it until 2 of clock which we sat outside and waited said we could go through and the hay barn would be open for food and drinks as we could not go into lodge while 3 on arrival at haybarn it was shut and informed by someone in another log cabin it did not open while 5 so we drove round to our cabin to then realise that reception had kept our booking form with our code on to get key so then we had to go back to reception for form on which I informed them that we could not get food or drink and I got quite an abrupt response and when they phoned haybarn the lady on reception was told it was shut on which no apology followed also on picture of ramblers rest it is quite misleading it looks as though it is set with lots of parking and by its self I could just get my car on never mind 2."

"A quiet and beautiful well maintained family and pet friendly site in a stunning area."
A 10min drive from Windermere. Lodge was modern, clean and very well equipped- impressed with the large en-suite and decent shower! All bedrooms had TVs and kids room also had a PlayStation, a must for teenagers! Facilities for kids included play park, football pitch, horse riding centre on site, stream for splashing about in and a games area at the family Haybarn Pub (pool table, darts, board games for all ages, PlayStation, some amusement and Sky TV) A lovely large fenced off area safe for letting your dogs off the lead and run around for some well deserved fun too! Lots of beautiful walks and areas to explore. Maps and details of specific walks available at the Haybarn. Overall well impressed and hope to return to explore more of this gorgeous area!

"The lodge had not been cleaned prior to our arrival."
In addition to crumbs and surfaces not wiped . The dishwasher had not been emptied the beds had not been changed - they had dirty linen on them, the towels were wet and lying on the floor. The reception staff were helpful in contacting the people responsible for cleaning the lodge. The response was prompt - we had people cleaning the lodge half an hour after the phone call - this was 8:30 on a Friday night. From this point onwards our stay was very good . The lodge was comfortable the location is great and the person responsible for the cleaning staff came round in the morning to make sure we were satisfied. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The Limefitt Park location and the comfortable lodge. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Ullswater steamer to Howtown and walk back to Glenridding.
Thank you for your comments, George. We were very sorry and disappointed to hear that on this occasion the lodge had not been cleaned prior to your arrival. It is very unusual for the contract cleaners to overlook a lodge although we were pleased that it was rectified as soon as we were made aware. Thank you for your patience at the time and once more please accept our apologies for the inconvenience it caused. That aside it was very kind of you to comment how much you enjoyed your stay, and delighted you found the lodge comfortable and in a great location for an enjoyable holiday. Ramblers Rest is a very popular choice for those looking for luxury accommodation with amazing views, and a private broadband connection. We would be delighted should you choose to return in the near future. Property Owner

"I booked this lodge for my myself, my partner and our dog."
Situated on a excellent park in the trout beck valley this lodge was very clean, spacious and met all our needs and dog friendly which was the deciding factor. The park was very tidy, clean , safe and secure and very quiet and peaceful. The park has every thing you could need including a pub ( never went in so cannot comment on that ). Would definitely return to Lime Fitt Park and the ramblers rest. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Location of Lime Fitt Park was perfect to access all major attractions. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Bowness was a nice town (although a bit busy) and for dog walkers Grizedale Forest has some excellent walks.

"A very clean site, helpful staff, and very well equiped log cabin, all the family enjoyed our first time in lake windermere, limefit is well centralised for visiting the other lovely places around the lake."
What did you enjoy most about your stay? the views What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? grizedale adventure with bikes
Thank you for your kind comments, Paul. We were so pleased to hear you all enjoyed your holiday at Limefitt, and delighted you found the lodge catered for all your needs. The views are indeed remarkable and change daily depending on the weather. Ramblers Rest is a superb choice for a base to explore the lakes ? warm and welcoming whilst providing luxury accommodation, and a bonus of having its own broadband ? the perfect holiday retreat, especially after a day out on the bikes. We look forward to welcoming you again in the near future (complete with your loyalty discount!). Property Owner

"Always have a lovely peaceful time when visiting Ramblers Rest."
It is important that we take our dog Millie with us as it is as much a holiday for her as it is us We have visited this lodge on a few occasions, Winter when the snow was on the ground, Summer and had beautiful weather. Will be sure to visit again. Tried the pub on site this time and had a lovely welcome. Millie loved it too. Our grandchildren loved the adventure playground. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Everything What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Keswick, Fell Foot Park.

"I think it is important to clarify we had an amazing holiday and would definitely return to this holiday park."
The facilities were brilliant, the pub served nice pub grub, on par with a good Weatherspoons, the staff were all very friendly there and at the office/site shop. They were very accommodating for our dog, it was strange being able to take her into the bar whilst we had a meal, fortunately it was out of school holidays so was quiet enough for her to settle. The dog exercise field was bigger than I thought so she could get a good run around. There are some lovely walks all around the site, truly beautiful scenery. The site is only a short drive from Bowness which has some nice shops and cafes. You can get the ferry to Ambleside which is also very pretty. It is 5 mins in the car to Brockhole where there is a fantastic adventure playground and old house to explore, as well as the Tree Top Trekking which is a must for the more adventurous. BUT. When we arrived at our lodge we were really impressed, it looked fab and it had its own router so my litter boy was over the moon he could watch netflix! It has all the mod-cons, really nice outside space, lovely decor, comfy beds, powerful showers etc etc. However when we started up-packing we found the kitchen surfaces, handles, cutlery, pans etc to be a bit grubby. The cushions on the settee had some food stains on and the tv/dvd player were dusty. There was an old toothbrush under the dining room table and a manky hair clip on the kitchen bench. The bin in the bathroom hadn't been changed either and was full of sanitary products which really spoiled our initial impression on the lodge, especially as I was expecting 5*. After the bathroom bin pushed me over the edge I rang the staff at Lake District Holidays and they couldn't have been more apologetic. We decided to go out for an explore and when we returned the bin in the bathroom had been emptied. Obviously you want to make the best of it so after a quick clean and wash up in the kitchen everything was fine and we went on the have an amazing holiday. I am grateful to the staff at the office who dealt with the matter so quickly. It hasn't marred our impression of the holiday park or the holiday company and we would thoroughly recommend anyone to book a holiday at Limefitt. But we wouldn't stay in that particular lodge again, not down to its facilities which were great, but the cleaning of it really let it down. I would go on to say though, that looking in the visitor book a lot of people mentioned they found it to be spotless so maybe we were just unlucky on that front. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Location and park facilities What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Tree Top Trekking
Thank you for taking the time to write a review, Antony. We were pleased that you had a good time although disappointed that there were some issues on arrival. May we firstly say how sorry we were to hear that the lodge was not cleaned or presented to the standard expected. Please accept our sincere apologies. This is, as you pointed out, very unusual for this lodge and we immediately addressed the issues raised with the cleaners who look after the lodge. That aside we were delighted to note that you went on to have a very enjoyable stay, and you had some great days out. Ramblers Rest is one of our most popular lodges with some amazing views, and the location is perfect for either visiting tourist hotspots or just for the sheer experience of relaxing in beautiful surroundings. Or both. An ideal holiday retreat especially as it has it?s own fast broadband connection. We will be delighted should you wish to return in the future and we are very confident you will find all issues resolved and the lodge presented to the high standard expected. Property Owner

"We stayed for a short weekend break in June."
We were lucky enough to stay in Ramblers Rest a well appointed and very well equipped log cabin. The park was extremely peaceful and only a short drive away from Windermere. We will certainly look to return to the park for a longer stay and would highly recommend the park to anyone looking for a peaceful get away. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Peacful location with easy access to Windermere and surrounding area; well appointed Lodge with excellent home comforts What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests?

"Ramblers Rest is a lovely, clean and home from home cabin."
It has everything you need for a relaxing break. Our 12 year old son loved the TV in his bedroom and that he could get wifi on his laptop when we were not out exploring! The site is in a perfect location, very friendly staff in Reception/Shop and all the Lakes are within easy reach. We booked the weekend special (from Friday 3pm to Sunday 5pm) and it gave us that extra time to explore without the rush to leave on the Sunday. We really enjoyed our stay and are thinking of coming back for longer next year. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Lovely cabin on a great site in a beautiful location What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? We went to Pooley Bridge at Ullswater for a walk/lunch, had a lovely day. We can recomend The Pooley Bridge Inn for lunch, it has a lovely courtyard at the back.

"Whilst we had pleasant stay for most of our time at Ramblers Rest an incident on the first day overshadowed things for us."
Neither bathroom is fitted with a grab rail and of the original bathmats supplied upon our arrival, one didn't have any rubber backing, and the other was a smaller mat with rubber backing but horribly creased. My 83 mother tripped on the creased up mat and slipped on the wet tile floor, and it was only good luck that she managed to stop herself from having a serious fall. I spoke to the letting company, who were very apologetic and supplied new mats the same day. Honestly couldn't fault their response. I do however feel the cabin needs grab rails fitting in both bathrooms. Water, tile and soap is a potential lethal combination and fitting some basic safety equipment that fits in with decor that doesn't have to look out of place with the decor is an easy thing to do. What did you enjoy most about your stay? surrounding area What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? bowness
Thank you for your comments, Ian. We were sorry to hear your elderly mother tripped on the bath mat and slipped on the bathroom floor. Please pass on our apologies and we are glad she did not injure herself. Although this is the first such incident we have had at Ramblers Rest, we have passed on your comments to the owners who will give due consideration to adding some safety features. That said the lodge has a ?standard? bathroom seen in most homes including a tiled floor which isn?t considered in any way to be dangerous. Other than this unfortunate incident It was good to hear you had a pleasant stay at this very popular, modern lodge which benefits from it?s own dedicated wifi connection. Property Owner

"Was a brilliant short weekend away, amazing views and everything was within distance."
100% will book here again in future. Just wish we booked for a longer stay What did you enjoy most about your stay? The peaceful environment What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Get a boat and experience the views from the lake
Thanks so much for your review, Robert. We are delighted you had such a good weekend away. Ramblers Rest is a very good choice for unwinding and a great base for visiting the local area.

"Modern, clean lodge with excellent facilities."
Ideal for families and dogs. Site is in a good location near Ambleside and Bowness. Pub and shop on site with a small play area and dog field. What did you enjoy most about your stay?

Thank you for your review, Karen. We are so pleased you enjoyed your time at the lodge. Ramblers Rest is one of our luxury lodges and very popular, it has the most stunning views of the fells. Glad to hear you visited Brockhole with the treetop nets, excellent fun! What a lovely way to spend a weekend with the family.

"I took my wife, 3 year old son and pet dog rocky to Ramblers Rest on the week commencing the 28th March for 5 days and it was superb."
The lodge itself is very clean, comfortable and well presented and has very good WiFi installed. The views are spectacular and change every ten minutes. The park itself is really nice and quiet, has a dog walking field, children's play area, convenient shop and a great pub converted from an old barn. I also used the leisure club which was included as part of the price twice and the facilities are superb with very modern gym equipment, a small pool, Jacuzzi, steam room and sauna. I can't imagine a better base to explore the South Lakes, 3 miles from Windermere, Grasmere, Ambleside and Ullswater all within a short drive. We would like to go back in the Summer. My only criticism of the park is that the food service in the pub was painfully slow on two occasions. 9/10 What did you enjoy most about your stay? The views, relaxation and the fresh air plus some really good wine purchased in Windermere. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Catch a boat from Ambleside to Bowness, have lunch and a boat back, the views are breathtaking
Very kind of you to write such a good review, Matthew. Thank you! Limefitt was an excellent choice, it has stunning views and as you say the views change every ten minutes. Spectacular! We are glad you made use of the leisure facilities, the gym is excellent and just so you know for next time - they do really good classes! Look forward to welcoming you again soon. Property Owner

"Love this little lodge idea for the two of us including the dog, Very comfortable would highly recommend to all."
... We will be back soon hopefully later in the year.

"We have stayed on this site before and loved it."
this lodge is definitely better than the previous one. Our only complaint this time was the comfort of the sofa and double bed. the sofa was actually a sofa bed which I think is why it was uncomfortable. The double bed we didn't find terribly comfortable either. We weren't getting alot of sleep so in the end we decided to leave a day early. I would fully recommend the site though. What did you enjoy most about your stay? walking the dog What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? sightseeing in general. grasmere and the gingerbread shop.

"On our arrival at Limefitt, the very first impression we got was of a very clean and tidy picturesque 'little village'."
On our check in, we were welcomed by the park's very polite and efficient staff who soon had us on our way to Ramblers Rest. On our arrival at the lodge, we were bowled over by such a pretty, clean and tidy cabin, with all of the comforts of home ( and as we had been lucky with the weather, we were soon sat outside on the patio ). During our stay, we visited the Haybarn pub on the site where once again we were greeted by very friendly and polite staff, and again we were very impressed by the cleanliness of the pub. All in all, we had a VERY enjoyable stay on such a very beautiful and friendly site, and we will most definitely visit again, and will be highly recommending Limefitt Park to family and friends. Thank you for a wonderful break. Best Regards, Linda & Warren Brickles. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The pure luxury of the site and of course Ramblers Rest. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? We could not have stayed, without our visit to Bowness and the lake.

"We were very suprised when we entered the lodge at how clean and bright it was."
it was very well equiped with all the essentials we needed inside. it was spacious and comfortable.

The weather was great which made a big difference, What did you enjoy most about your stay? The weather. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The lake at Coniston.
Thank you for your review. We were delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Ramblers Rest. It is a lovely modern lodge with a traditional feel and superbly equipped so you can make the most of a self catering stay. It's always a bonus to get nice weather when visiting the Lakes although there is still plenty to do nearby come rain or shine. Property Owner

"Just enjoyed our second stay at Ramblers Rest."
Our 4 night midweek break was as enjoyable as the first time. In fact I wish we had booked for the full week. The lodge was excellent and the site (Limefitt Park) was ideal as a base for exploring the Lakes. The exclusive internet router in the lodge was icing on the cake. The on-site facilities were good:- refuse bins were cleared regularly, grass and plants well maintained, reception shop provided basics and the excellent Hay Barn was open every evening providing very good food and drinks. Another enjoyable stay with Lakeland Lodges, we will return! What did you enjoy most about your stay? We enjoyed the whole package. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? We have been to the Lakes many times, we enjoy them for what they are.
Really pleased to hear you you enjoyed your latest stay at Ramblers Rest. It is certainly a lovely place to stay and has the added bonus of reliable internet access for those that need that whilst away. Thank you for your kind words about Lake District Lodge Holidays and we look forward to welcoming you back to the Lakes very soon. Property Owner

"A lovely 4 day break in Ramblers Rest with our 11 year old grandson."
Alittle word about mobile phone coverage,we could not get a signal or make or receive calls however we were able to use our tablets,I pads etc to use the Internet. Our grans on absolutely loved it and we introduced him to the high finance world of monopoly during the rainy periods.We visited the on site pub for an evening meal/snack and found it perfectly satisfactory. We also walked to the Mortal Man pub which takes around 15/20 minutes via the track next to the church 2 minutes from the entrance to the park.The football field was well used by my grand son and myself during our stay and I'm still feeling the effects.All in all a really good four day break and I must praise the booking agents for retrieving my camera which I left in a bag in a cupboard and forwarding on to me What did you enjoy most about your stay? The well looked after park and facilties for kids What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Tennis at Ambleside
-
"Accommodation fine for a short break and park lovely."
couple of points for owners to note. the towels all smelt smoky / musty - like they'd been in the house of a smoker. also the cooker was very difficult to use and burnt everything we tried to cook. terrace was lovely and the extra tv's in the bedrooms and kids videos was great as my little boy got to relax after a hectic day out, was a novelty for him as we don't have tvs in bedrooms at home. we unusually got to watch grown up tv! What did you enjoy most about your stay? location What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? walk from park straight down troutbeck valley and back; also brockhole visitor centre
-
"Only comment would be perhaps the reception staff could be a little more welcoming when guests arrive to collect the fob to the barrier just got the feeling they looked harassed and this shows to the guest."
What did you enjoy most about your stay? Long walks & quiet park What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Grassmere walks
-
"A very well located lodge in an excellent park that is open to the fells and easy to acces."
The lodge was cosy, comfortable and very well-equipped. The only minor issue being some rather uncomfortable dining chairs. We liked the site, as it was dog friendly and worked well in this respect, but also it was quiet and never felt 'busy' despite what must have been full occupancy on site. The pub facility served excellent real ale- though we did not try the food and can't comment, it certainly had a nice atmosphere and garden. Overall, a better than expected stay, helped undoubtedly by excellent weather. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Weather- opportunity to walk from lodge What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Long walk over the high fells adjoining site.
-
"Ramblers Rest is a lovely lodge and very well kept."
It is extremely clean and has all the modern conveniences to ensure a pleasurable stay. Our dogs had a great time and loved looking out of the window at their friends passing by, including the occasional rabbit! They loved to run round the nearby dog field, even though it was rather flooded! The only thing to mar our stay was the weather! Although we guess that this is to be expected in the Lakes! All in all an enjoyable stay! What did you enjoy most about your stay? The warmth and comfort of the lodge What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The coffee shops in Windermere!
-
"The second I left the lodge I wanted to book another stay."
...everything was spot on! I will definitely come back eventually! I hope to do this again next year! What did you enjoy most about your stay? comfort What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? tarn hows

"Third time now at Ramblers, excellent stay as before ."

"While the overall cleanliness was very good when we arrived we did find a wax crayon and a childs sock sliding down the back of a radiator which was on because it was cold when we arrived ."
The next day we opened the oven to heat something and found it was extremely greasy and dirty so much so i refused to use it. We removed a cushion on the sofa to plump it up and found approx 1/2 a tub of popcorn round the edge under the seat these last two incidents were very off putting and made us think that while everthink looked clean on the surface they were not deep clean .
