  Visited this lodge in June 19 with a group of friends.

  The lodge is well presented, modern and clean. The living area has 2 large sofas and a small chair which is comfortable. The kitchen area is particularly large for a lodge, with a good sized fridge freezer for all your supplies. The bedrooms are very nicely decorated with plenty of storage space. The single bed mattresses felt a little saggy, however this didn't prevent a good nights sleep. Both bathrooms very nice, however the bath towels were on the small side. The hot tub was lovely and hot, and is a great asset. We didn't think it was as big as previous hot tubs we had been in, however it seated 3 comfortably. We didn't get to try out the outside seating area due to the weather, however it looked decent. lodge is located in a quiet area of the park, a short walk away from the Club House, where there is a variety of entertainment and a restaurant. The entertainment is ok if you're having a few drinks, however whilst dining on the Sunday night, at approximately 7pm the entertainment started blasting out of the speakers just behind us which made a normal conversation impossible. Overall, a good stay at Ridgway lodge. 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? Trip to Ambleside

  It is very clear that the owners care with the little touches around the lodge from the robin on the kitchen blind to a wide selection of books.

  However the lodge is well loved and needs some tweaks. From reading other reviews the sofa with no legs has been that way since at least June and we visited at the end of October. It did make it unusable for us as we are in our 50’s and my knees don’t quite behave as they used to! Whilst we were there one of the legs on the other sofa broke. This was on top of a few other things we called maintenance about. They resolved everything in the afternoon we were out including getting a new sofa (with legs!). This was outstanding by the maintenance team but my counter argument would be if this could be solved so quickly reactively, why has the other sofa not been addressed in 4 months? It’s a smaller lodge but it’s really cute and it would not take a great deal to make a 3 into a 5 as it has a brilliant location on a fabulous site. The hot tub is well maintained although it is quite noisy through the night. Limefitt is a gorgeous park which is quiet but quite beautiful. The on site Pub was great and there are lots of walks to be had from your lodge. We would definitely go to the park again as it really is so lovely. However, as cute as Robin View Lodge is we would question returning to stay there.

  We stayed here with my parents to celebrate a Golden Wedding Anniversary.

  We wanted a nice lodge we could chill out in and relax as a family, in between trips into the local villages in the Lakes. The lodge is exactly as in the pictures, only better! It is very clean and has a good stock of cutlery and everything you need for a short break. We didn't get chance to use the seating area outside due to the weather but there were chairs and tables outside which looked comfy. The only hitch we encountered was having no electricity on our last day - which meant we could not cook breakfast or have showers. We called customer service at the lodge site but they said it was an electricity issue outside the park - we were not informed how long the issue would be for - no one seemed to know - this meant we left the lodge earlier than perhaps planned - however, it was an issue outside of the park. Otherwise a lovely stay and we would stay again in this lodge when we are back in the lakes. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Having everything we needed in the lodge What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? walk around windermere and a boat trip on the lake

  Our 2nd visit to the park.

  The park itself is fine. However our lodge was poor. When we arrived the kitchen utensils in the upright pot were covered in grease. As if someone had sprayed them all in frylight and left them. The smell when we walked in was of staled breakfast. We had to ask a member of staff for air spray as well as bin bags which were also not left. There was a skrew loose on the dishwasher which meant we couldnt shut the door. We had to fix that too. The hot tub also had a scummy film on it which according to the hot tub engineers, is from the chemicals. Im not convinced. Finally on departure, when we were checking everything and making sure we hadnt left anything behind, we came across someone elses dirty trousers and knickers shoved at the back of a cupboard!!! We would have reported this earlier, but could put up with the smaller issues, if we had have come across the underwear issues earlier we would have done. 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? Beatrix potter
