  This was my wife & I's second stay at Limefitt and third consecutive year in the Lakes using Park Dean Resorts .

  This Lodge was in immaculate condition , excellent location , tucked away at the top of a private cul de sac with glorious views from the decking . The Lodge was very airy and modern with every eventuality catered for . ( The sound quality of the docking station for my I-pod was brilliant ) . Well equipped kitchen ( although we were only there for 3 nights so ate out during the daytime ) and well suited to a medium sized family . Our little Westie , Poppy , settled in straight away and loved the fact that she could stroll around the decking as she pleased . Little things like courtesy lighting in the bathrooms so as not to disturb people and generous stock of DVDs and games if you wanted them . The check in at reception was effortless , site in immaculate condition again . The leather sofa was not the most comfortable ( sliding about like a bar of soap ) but that's just our personal preference , all told a great "find" for us - we'd love to come back again . What did you enjoy most about your stay? The quality of the lodge and it's immaculate condition , great location on the site . What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Visited the Lakes Aqaurium for the first time - very pleasant - better again if you have time & combine it with a steamer trip .

  The property's location was perfect for me and also dog friendly too.

  So peaceful (silence and no light poution), beautiful views, and not too far from a couple of pubs and the village of Hawkshead. The field adjoining the property was perfect to let my dog Minnie, have a safe run around. I stopped in the Coniston accommodation which was perfect for me, very clean and very comfortable. I had previously read reviews that highlighted that you could hear some noise from the flat above but i accepted that risk when I booked. My lived experience was that during the first 4 days (of my 6 day stay) I heard very little. My last 2 nights was slightly more challenging though. Dont get me wrong, I didn't feel like I had part of the Riverdance dance troop staying above me but the level of noise did increase. Im not sure what the owners can do, other than let the flat above be very aware that not wearing clogs would be more than appreciated by those downstairs. I would advise that if you are easily irritated by any noise from above, then the Coniston isnt for you. I will be going back for sure.

  The property is immaculately clean and tidy.

  Constructive criticism only, generic constant references to a dishwasher when there isnt one should be removed, little stickers with instructions everywhere particularly referencing the pandemic which is no more should be removed and a personalised info sheet on the property added to a folder or stuck on the door but would be nicer in a folder or laminate on the table. TV - I appreciate the property is in the middle of nowhere but its 2023 you can get booster boxes for broadband to allow visitors access to TV on demand at least, the property is fairly isolated and the weather isnt a certain so it would be much better to be able to access channels at your leisure and not a costly addition. Leave a welcome pack of some kind and people will use it, kitchen foil - this could then be used to protect oven trays, kitchen roll, better rubbish bags , all are necessary but when only staying three nights you dont want to bring a heap of stuff with you and would help the owner keep it clean as people would use it.

  Stunning location.

  The accommodation is not luxurious but it is comfortable and spotlessly clean. The garden is great for dogs and children but although there have obviously been tubs for bedding plants in the past these were no longer in use. It did look a little lacking in TLC as a result. My husband has limited mobility and although Coniston is not specifically adapted for disabled people he was able to manoeuvre his walker around inside with no problem and use the shower with the suction grab handles that we brought with us. The only issues that we had were a) not enough toilet paper - there is an "allowance" of 2 rolls so if you think that you are going to use more then bring some with you! b) We had very heavy winter weight duvets, we asked if they had any summer ones but they did not but we were supplied with an extra sheet to use with the bedspread. If we continue to get such hot summers then this is maybe something the managers of the accommodation would like to consider. We will certainly return

  My children and I thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at Birthwaite Lodge.

  This lodge was beautiful and the owners have gone above and beyond to make everything special. The lodge was exceptionally clean. So many little extras provided really made our holiday feel like a luxury home away home. Coffee/Tea/Milk , Shampoo/Conditioner/Soap.Alarm clocks by the beds and the most comfortable mattresses ever. We slept so well!! Birthwaite Lodge is in a lovely quiet location on the park, with amazing views. We had a fantastic holiday at Limefitt park and will definitely stay in this lovely lodge again. Thank you so much to the owners. Will happily recommend this lodge to family and friends. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Beautiful park and staying in such a clean and comfortable lodge What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Lovely walk to Troutbeck tongue starting behind the Haybarn Pub
