What our customers say about their holidays

• Mrs Frances Hart - Verified booking

  Having left Kent in temperatures of 33 degrees, it was rather refreshing to arrive at Limefitt Park in much cooler conditions!

  We happened to pick the week that the drought broke for our holiday, which we probably wouldn't have been happy about any other year, but was actually rather a relief on this occasion, and although it rained at some point most days it didn't spoil our week. Horseshoe Lodge is most definitely the best self catering accommodation we have stayed in and it is in an ideal position on the park, with an uninterrupted view across the fields of Troutbeck. Even though the school holidays had started, we found the park to be quiet in comparison to other sites we have stayed on at this time of year, although The Haybarn seemed understaffed for the time of year, usually with only 1 serving behind the bar in the evenings. Horseshoe Lodge had everything we needed for our stay: a bath and hand towel for each person, and very well equipped kitchen, plenty of crockery and cutlery, hangers in the wardrobes, and a small amount of hand soap for the bathrooms. It was really spacious inside and plenty of room outside on the decking aswell, The one useful item we did take with us was a clothes airer, as there wouldn't have been anywhere to dry wet swimwear/towels otherwise (we didn't make use of the washer/dryer). We enjoyed days out at Ullswater, Derwent Water, visited Beatrix Potter's house and cruised on Windermere itself. Limefitt Park is ideally placed to access many walks and is only a few minutes drive from WIndermere, and the nearest supermarket. Special mention to Marie in The Haybarn who went out of her way to ensure my diabetic husband had a meal the evening we arrived, as we were just too late to order food, but she went out of her way to accomodate him. We had a few meals in there over the week, and all of us enjoyed the food. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The peace and quiet, and the beautiful views from the lodge What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The views from Kirkstone Pass

  This was our first UK break (usually opt for abroad) due to new baby.

  We were delighted with both the property and the location. The park is situated close to Windermere but far enough to feel a bit rural. The views from the lodge are idyllic and uninterrupted. I had thought a site like this would be rows of lodges but they were well spaced out which gave a good level of privacy. There is a good dog park on site and a pub within a short walk. The generous outdoor / decking space is great for barbeques and outdoor socialising. The lodge itself was so well equipped, the owners really have thought of everything, right down to having baby cutlery in the drawer! The kitchen has everything you could possibly need plus much more (a pizza cutter??) - all cooking utensils, pots, pans etc. I was very impressed with the planning, it made the stay so much easier to have everything at your fingertips and not have to keep nipping out to get things. One improvement which could be made (if any) would be to add either a BBQ or an area to put a disposable BBQ / stand. The lodge was clean and tidy, board games provided, good wifi connection, decent sized TV, very comfy beds with good quality bedding etc. Even with a young baby, it managed to feel like home from home. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Horseshoe Lodge and will definitely be booking another family stay. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Comfort and ease of holiday due to owners thoughtful provisions at the Lodge. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Visit Bowness

  Horseshoe Lodge is an amazing place to stay.

  It has everything you require and more that you don't. One of the best lodges I've ever stayed in. Beautifully clean, very roomy. The kitchen/dining/living room had windows to 3 sides providing beautiful views all around. The decking is extensive and outdoor furniture very nice indeed, there was even a slab situated for a bbq. I would definitely recommend and would very much like to return. Limefitt Park is a fantastic location, on the Kirkstone Pass road but only minutes from Windermere/Bowness/Ambleside. The perfect lodge and location for a perfect, relaxing retreat! What did you enjoy most about your stay? The fact that it rained and howled so much outside meant that we made the utmost of the lodge itself, which was beautiful! Had the weather not been so bad we probably wouldn't have spent so much time relaxing in the lodge. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Turn your phone off and enjoy the great outdoors, be it a stroll alongside a lake, a visit to one of the many National Trust treasures of stomping around forests and mountains. See, breathe and feel the outdoors. Oh, and definitely look up into the night sky and be dazzled by the stars.......probably the most magical sight ever, and it doesn't cost a penny!

  Parking was much too tight for my car , had to park out on the carpark .

  Had a disabled person with us so the amount of steps were difficult . Last year I stayed at Damson lodge which was very easy . We didn’t arrive until night . It took 45 mins to find our lodge as it was pitch black . Some better signs that were lit would have been very helpful .Apart from that everything was fine . It would be an idea of having electric car charging points that people can book for the duration of the stay . Also the hot tub needs maintenance . It is quite old and the jets only occasionally worked , when pressing the button for the jets it was intermittent making a grinding noise . I deliberately ordered a lodge with a tub as I get a lot of use from them. However we could only use it occasionally. It was very frustrating . I think it needs replacing, and a refund of the extra cost of the hot tub should be reimbursed as there was no way of using it to its full ability . However most of the lodge was very clean . We had a problem with duvet covers . There were a lot of fine black//brown hairs on the duvet covers . We had to use a lint roller to remove them . However apart from that everything else was lovely . We have had a lovely stay . I have been to your park four times now and love the area .

  Beautiful location and not far from all major sightseeing points within the Windermere region.

  The lodge is well maintained and provided the 'home from home' experience that we wanted. The lodge is lovingly furnished and provides additional unexpected features such as children's games and a range of DVD options for the whole family. The outdoor space is excellent and perfect for sitting out and enjoying the spectacular views. The on-site activities are great for young children (park, zip wire etc.) and it even has its own pub restaurant with scheduled entertainment most nights! We couldn't fault anything about the property and our only gripe is that we were only there for a long weekend.....we would thoroughly recommend and you will not be disappointed with what the lodge and the surrounding park/area has to offer. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The lodge was extremely homely and furnished to a high standard. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Our day at 'Hill Top' (Beatrix Potter's cottage) was a delight and a must do.
