“We stayed here a week ago to celebrate my wife's birthday with our family and a small cockapoo.”
The lodge was tastefully furnished and quite comfortable. My daughters particularly liked the hot tub. It is in an ideal location only a few miles from Ambleside, Bowness and Windermere and the scenery from the lodge was breathtaking. We did try the on-site pub/club house which we couldn't recommend (just very basic pub food and limited choice of ales and wines), but there is a fantastic pub and micro brewery 'The Watermill' just a short distance away in Ing which I would highly recommend and is exceptionally dog friendly to the extent that if you haven't a dog, you feel you should rush straight out and get one. Service from the Lake District Lodge staff was excellent, including very helpful emails, SMS text messages and on-site advice. I felt that the staff at the site really couldn't do enough to help and make our stay really enjoyable. The lodge could have been a little cleaner and I provided feedback on this on the feedback questionnaire. If you asked me if I'd recommend the Lodge to my friends or stay here again, then the answer would be definitely yes.

What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests?
Ferry from Bowness to Hawkshead, then over to Wray Castle. Then walk back along the far side of Lake Windermere before returning by ferry to Bowness.

Thank you very much for your comments and for taking the time to review your stay, David. We are pleased to hear you all had an enjoyable weekend of celebrations, and you filled it with some great days out. We sincerely apologise that the lodge was not cleaned to your satisfaction or to our high standards. We informed the contract housekeepers immediately after your initial comments and please be assured it will not happen again. Thank you for making us aware. The pub on site is provided by the park owners and we have passed your comments on for their consideration. On a positive note we are pleased you found the staff welcoming and helpful. The Watermill is a great pub, lots of ales to try! The Mortal Man is another excellent pub (dog friendly) and is very close to Limefitt Park, definitely worth a visit or two. Great to hear your daughter made good use of the hot tub, a favourite with many of our guests and a real bonus at the end of a long day walking. We look forward to you returning again soon and thank you for recommending us.
