“We decided to book this lodge as a little getaway for our anniversary and it exceeded all of our expectations!”
We could not fault a single thing about the Lakeland View lodge, or Limefitt Park! We travelled from North Wales and arrived rather late on the Friday night, so we were both extremely tired and hungry. When we entered the lodge for the first time, we were hit with the lovely scent of home. What striked us first was how unbelieveably clean the lodge was, and how homely it felt with such a lovely open plan kitchen and living area. Of course the most amazing part of the whole experience in Lakeland View was the hot tub! An amazing addition to the already lovely lodge, which really gave it a relaxing feel. The hot tub was amazing to use after spending the weekend mornings exploring the local areas of Windermere and Kendal! The lodge also supplied all the things you would need for an enjoyable week/weekend away. Myself and my partner also loved how secluded and serene Limefitt Park was, but at the same time how close it was to Windermere, Kendal and Troutbeck; allowing us the time to relax in a peaceful enviroment, but also explore the local areas! The staff in Limefitt were also extremely helpful, always aiming to help when possible; the night time security guard especially, who ensured that (after our long drive to the park) the kitchen in the Haybarn Inn would take our food order despite it being past closing time. It was also very nice to be greeted whenever we entered the Haybarn Inn by the lovely barmaid.
We would definitely recommend: The Haybarn Inn, which is onsite, for a lovely, warm atmosphere and scrumptious food! We'd also recommend the Ship Inn at Windermere, which is on the lake front - they serve delicious food after using your energy exploring the area! One lovely activity we enjoyed was hiring out a small boat to take on to Lake Windermere, which was a lot of fun for someone who had never been in a boat, never mind driven one before! An amazing holiday and anniversary, one we will not be forgetting any time soon!
What did you enjoy most about your stay?
Too many to list! Mainly: the hot tub!! and the fact that Limefitt Park was secluded enough to relax in peace and quiet, but local enough to Windermere, Troutbeck and Kendal to explore the areas!
What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests?
Our first day up in the Lake District, we hired a boat for the two of us for one hour on Windermere Lake. Lovely experience!
