“We had a wonderful weekend at Rowan in December.”

.. It felt like being in the Swiss Alps (minus the snow). The only issue we had was the lack of water... We searched everywhere for a switch or stop tap and couldn't find any mention in the welcome pack. It took 3 phonecalls out on different numbers and two calls back to get answer 1 (switch looks like a shaver socket in the bathroom)... Great !.... But then water only dribbled out of the cold tap.

It took 3 phonecalls out on different numbers and two calls back to get answer 1 (switch looks like a shaver socket in the bathroom)... Great !.... But then water only dribbled out of the cold tap. Other phonecalls followed but luckily one of our party found the stopcock very low down in the bathroom cupboard which solved the issue. Ironically an hour later we found the instruction sheet for the water tucked away in the bookshelf. So... A small issue became a little bit of a frustration. Suggest if water is to be turned off each time, maybe pinning the sheet to the wall? The confusion of numbers in the welcome pack didn't help... Lake holidays, Dean something, site team, after hours team, owner... All confusing and passing the issue on (although very pleasant and efficient with it)... All sorted within an hour and didn't distract from a fabulous trip in a fabulous area.. We even found the second pub which we had no idea existed !

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are pleased that you had an enjoyable stay at Rowan Lodge. Your comments regarding the water have been passed on to the relevant teams and we will ensure that this is addressed. We hope to welcome you back again to the Lakes.

Gill November 2024

“Just returned from Rowan lodge which was lovely and very cosy in an ideal quiet area especially for my dogs with nature all around, I note that previous guests complained about cobwebs on the decking area but surely this is just part of the nature it surrounds.”

All comfortable and clean with the feel of relaxing ambiance we all need and lovely walks around the park and great pub and dog field everyone friendly. Met the lovely cleaning ladies who clearly work hard and so helpful too. Would I return absolutely! We and the dogs had a fabulous time , it’s what you make of it and close to other pubs and bowness too

- Gill, November 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear you had a lovely stay at Rowan Lodge and all the nature and surroundings that the lodge has to offer. We would love to welcome you back again. The owner relations team - Lake District Lodge Holidays Property Owner
Stephen October 2024

“Excellent Lodge in a lovely part of the lake district.”

Everything needed is provided, the Lodge is in a great position on a quiet site. There is plenty of room within the lodge & it was very warm. It is in a good location for travel around the lakes.

- Stephen, October 2024
Rebecca October 2024

“We had the most amazing time at rowan lodge.”

It was so cosy and warm - the location was fantastic. Loved the outdoors being right on your doorstep. Very comfy beds! The sofa was also extremely comfortable. Would definitely stay again!

- Rebecca, October 2024
Liam August 2024

“When we arrived, there were no fobs for the barrier which wasn't the owners fault it was other guests not putting them back.”

The lodge looked very dirty from tne outside, the key box covered in webs. In daylight when we went on to the deck it was filthy. I had to go out and buy floor cleaner to scrub it just so we could sit outside. It was stinking of dog urine. Inside, it was little things like, no washing up liquid, no working batteries in tv remote, bedding not put on properly, dirty windows. A far cry from last year when we stayed. It really needs some tlc as it was lovely last year. This didn't dampen our holiday, it just would have been nice to not have to clean on holiday.

- Liam, August 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear of the issue that you experienced with the outside of the lodge. Your comments have been passed on to the relevant teams. We would like to add that had we been made aware during your stay, we could have attended to resolve. We take all comments on board. Thank you- The Lake District Lodge Holidays Owner Relations Team Property Owner
Sarah July 2024

“We had a fantastic time here and I would definitely return.”

Loved the position of the lodge. We seen deer, squirrels birds and badgers. I agree that the outside needs a good clean to dust off the cobwebs. We found the inside clean however. We had a brilliant time.

- Sarah, July 2024
Sophia July 2024

“The lodge was nice and clean inside but maybe could do with updating - it seemed to be looking quite tired and in need of refurbishment.”

The shower was very difficult to regulate and the only way to do so was to constantly run the water, which was a waste. The outside of the lodge needed a brush as there were lots of cobwebs, and the chairs and tables were quite dirty.

- Sophia, July 2024

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We take all comments on board, and will pass them onto the relevant teams to ensure that our high standards continue to be met. Thank you The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Property Owner

Neil April 2024

“As a family We love Rowan lodge and limefit.”

Even it the pouring rain the Lake District is a place of true natural beauty and inspiring landscapes. This is my Forth stay at Rowan lodge I look forward to my next stay and next adventure in the lakes.

- Neil, April 2024
Sean August 2023

“We really liked our short stay at Rowan lodge, the property is positioned near woodland which was great for short walks with the dogs.”

Plenty of room for 4 adults, we all found our stay very relaxing. The views from the decking are stunning

- Sean, August 2023
Robert June 2023

“This is the second time we've stopped at Rowen Lodge.”

This year the decking had been improved and the barbeque slab has been replaced. A few of the pans needed a clean and the sofa could do with a spritz of Febreze but the property was otherwise clean and comfortable. A timelapse video recorded through the window showed the badgers visiting between 12pm and 3am - they enjoyed a sprinkling of dog biscuits (and the crows finished off the leftovers at dawn) Lots of local places to visit makes this a good base for a stay in the Lakes. The only negative was Sykes customer service. I didn't notice the 5% returning customer discount until after I had booked. Sykes were unhelpful and refused to honor the discount.

- Robert, June 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us and all the wildlife the lodge had to offer. We will pass all your comments on. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused regarding the 5% returning customer discount, however we can now confirm you have received this back now. We hope to welcome you again soon.

Sarah November 2022

“A lovely little lodge, maybe could do with a bit if a care n attention.”

Just little things, like grouting needs redoing I'm the bathroom carpets could do with Replacing the boiler scares the life out of you when it kicks in, I thought it was going to blow the cupboard doors off. Just a bit of an update n it would be lovely.

- Sarah, November 2022

Many thanks for taking the time to submit your valued feedback. We are grateful to you for bringing these matters to our attention and happy to say, there are plans in the pipeline to replace the bedroom carpets over the next few months. The grouting will also be dealt with as necessary. The boiler has very recently been installed and the noise would appear to be part of its design. We will, however, contact the engineer and, if it can be toned down at all, will arrange for this to be done. We very much look forward to welcoming you back should you decide to visit the area again, in the future. Property Owner
Geraldine September 2022

“We found Rowan lodge very homely, everything we needed was to hand.”

Enjoyed the peace and tranquility,the lodge was situated in a lovely private position. Only disappointment not seeing the badgers at dusk! will definitely return.

- Geraldine, September 2022

Thank you for your kind feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Rowan Lodge. Hopefully the badgers will come out on your next visit. Property Owner
Daren August 2022

“Rowan Lodge is perfectly placed for a wonderful holiday in the Lakes.”

The holiday park is within easy reach of Lake Windermere and local towns and amenities, and is definitely the best placed lodge within the site. With a little bit of updating this would be fabulous, such as replacing the broken parasol, perhaps changing the gas oven to electric (we couldn’t get the gas oven to work properly) and much of the outside decking is long overdue replacing, some of the decking boards are rotting away and can cause tripping. Otherwise we had a lovely holiday, even watching the badgers (and mouse!) visit the decking at night to eat peanut butter sandwiches we’d left out for them! Perfect location, we’d definitely stay again, just needs a bit of TLC.

- Daren, August 2022

Thank you for your feedback. It is wonderful to hear you enjoyed your stay and managed to spot some of the wildlife around Rowan Lodge. Thank you for your recommendations, we will pass these across to the owner and ensure the decking is checked. It is wonderful to hear you enjoyed lots of the local amenities and we do hope to welcome you back soon. Property Owner
Kay July 2022

“The property hadn't been cleaned for some time there was dust under the beds and a previous occupiers scrunchie.”

Cobwebs from the lights. The decking was very badly maintained and needs replacing. The shower was very odd it kept coming apart and my husband fixed it twice while we were there this also needs replacing. A bit off putting having the owners belongings stored above the bed in the bedroom aswell. It was a lovely spot very private and we enjoyed our stay on the site especially The Haybarn but all in all I'm afraid we wouldn't return or reccomend the lodge.

- Kay, July 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear of the issues that you found with the cleanliness of the property. We will ask our Housekeeping team to look into this. I am pleased to say that the decking is going to replaced later on in the year. We will ask the Maintenance team to look at the shower. The lodge is the owners second home, there are belongings stored at the lodge, which are stored away during guests visits. We hope that you would return to the Lake District again soon.

Robert July 2022

“Great location, lovely little cottage.”

Excellent facilities on the camp, great service in the Haybarn. Cottage is simple but clean and comfy. The in house Wi-Fi is a great result and you genuinely do get to see badgers at dusk!

- Robert, July 2022

Many thanks for taking the time to provide your valued feedback. We are delighted to hear that you had an enjoyable stay in Rowan Lodge AND that you saw the badgers. We look forward to welcoming you back, should you decide to visit the area again in the future. Property Owner
Robert June 2022

“We enjoyed our stay here having visited Limefitt every year for around 14 years.”

Although we've stopped in an identical lodge elsewhere on the park, we liked the location of this one as it was at the back of the park and its raised elevation meant it was very peaceful. A last minute discount attracted our attention, although the discount only reduced the price to what we normally pay privately elsewhere on the park... The lodged was equipped with just about everything we needed for the week and the furniture was comfortable. We didn't see the badgers but we know they visited after dark and ate the sprinkling of dog biscuits we provided. The listing and guidance in the property need some updating. After reading the guidance and bringing a disposable barbeque, we couldn't find anything that might be a "barbeque slab" and ended up using the stone steps instead. The melamine tableware referred to in the handbook wasn't there - not an issue but shows the material needs updating... Would we stop here again? Yes if the price was right!

- Robert, June 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Rowan. We will check the material and make sure that it is up to date. We look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner
Jessica February 2022

“Brilliant time and saw the badgers every night on our doorstep”

- Jessica, February 2022

Thanks for your feedback. We've asked the maintenance manager to look at the grouting. We've been planning to replace the carpets in the bedrooms and this will be done during the Winter. Sorry about the boiler that's noisy when the main burner comes on.. It's new so it's probably just the design, but we will have it checked. Property Owner

Excellent location, especially if you love wildlife. Loved the badgers

Tania August 2021

“Rowan Lodge was exactly as we expected, cosy and with everything we needed.”

Loved the fact we got to see deer, badgers and all sorts from the lodge too.

Jamie July 2021

“Really nice spot, cabin was well equipped and very comfortable.”

Well worth leaving some food out as the pose pesky badgers don’t miss a trick. Would definitely stay again

- Jamie, July 2021

Thank you for the lovely review. we are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay at Rowan Lodge. It's in a great location to enjoy the local wildlife and the lodge offers guests a cosy and comfortable retreat. We are delighted you would stay again and look forward to welcoming you! Property Owner
Sarah July 2021

“We've stayed in Rowan lodge numerous times now, we love the location as tucked away at the back by the woods and get to see the wildlife.”

We prefer the more traditional log cabin . Limefitt is such a great location and recommend food at The Mortal Man and Queens hotel which both have footpaths from the park so you can walk there in minutes. We will defiantly return as our son loves it there.

- Sarah, July 2021
Tom July 2021

“The lodge was fantastic.”

The on site shop and pub were a slight let down as very small and food wasn't brilliant. But the actual park and the views and accommodation were all amazing.

- Tom, July 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted to hear of how much you enjoyed your stay in Rowan Lodge. We are sorry you found the on-site shop to not be ideal, we have passed this to the park management for their information. This is something outside of our control as it is run and owned by the park and we can only apologise any inconvenience caused. That said, we are glad it did not take away from the fantastic lodge and it would be our pleasure to welcome you back. Property Owner
Naomi June 2021

“Not the cleanist place, even furniture looked grubby.”

The information guide was outdated and no recommendations for places to eat etc.

- Naomi, June 2021

Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry to hear the cleaning has not reached the standard expected on this occasion. Had this been brought to our attention on arrival, we would have been happy to arrange the return of the cleaner to address any issues. We have taken onboard your comments regarding the information guide which we will pass theses back to our Marketing team. Property Owner
Janet June 2021

“Really loved our stay at Rowan lodge, Limefitt park is set in beautiful scenery, the staff we saw were very pleasant and helpful.”

lovely walks around the park, very dog friendly, which was really good as we had our 2 two with us. Longer walking on the doorstep behind the pub from which you got stunning views reaching down to lake windermere. The lodge was cosy and comfortable, hopefully will return soon, highly reccomended. As an extra bonus our late night visitor was a joy, he certainly loves peanutbutter sandwiches

- Janet, June 2021
Clare May 2021

“Lovely positioning of the lodge, we seen the badgers at night, comfy and cosy, however was rather dirty.”

There was a beer bottle under the bed, someones socks in the bedside cabinet, dirty bathroom floor and all white dog hair on the sofa. Saying that we cleaned it before we settled down and really enjoyed. I would also return, these things happen and didn't take a lot to put right.

- Clare, May 2021

Thank you for your feedback. Rowan Lodge is certainly in a very welcomed spot on the part and has lots of visitors during the evenings and overnight! If you are lucky enough, every now and then a deer will appear! We are sorry to hear the lodge was not quite right on your arrival, if you would have let us know, we would have returned to put this right for you. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused. Having said that, it is clear to see this did not impact on your stay too much and we hope you will return to see we have taken your comments onboard. We hope to welcome you back in the future.

The park was lovely as was lodge ,but I think more detail should have been observed on the cleaning of the lodge, I didn’t feel it had been cleaned throughly, there was a lot of hair & dirt on carpet & sofa, I did try to clean as I took my dogs but unfortunately the hoover in main bedroom was completely blocked & smaller hoover wasn’t very effective, the Crockery ,utensils & saucepans very dirty & greasy, I appreciate that you rely previous occupants but I think should be checked, sorry this isn’t positive feedback but everything else was wonderful

- Fiona, May 2021

Thank you for your feedback following your stay to Rowan Lodge. We are so sorry to hear you had some cleaning concerns. It is most unusual for this lodge and having spoken with the cleaners we are sure that no further issues will arise. We shall check the hoovers – thank you. Whilst it is now too late to put these matters right for you, please do keep in mind for future stays that our team are on hand throughout your stay to help, and had you let us know at the time we would have promptly addressed these for you. As such we can only say we are sorry and thank you for letting us know. On a more positive note, we are delighted that otherwise everything was wonderful. Rowan Lodge really is a popular place to stay, and with eh stunning location it is easy to see why. We do hope to welcome you again soon and are sure everything will be to your satisfaction from the moment you arrive. Property Owner
Ms Julia Cairns Apr 2021

“We were lucky to have good weather but the cabin has a nice corner spot.”

Lovely to sit on the deck in the afternoon and watch the birds. Having bird seed to put in the feeders was great idea. Cabin was good basic amenities. Bed a little soft for us and dining table has a wobble. Otherwise it provided what we needed and kids had WiFi so they were happy. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Bird watching from lodge What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Walk to Ambleside over Wansell Pike

- Ms Julia Cairns, Apr 2021
Miss Angie Gardner Nov 2020

Mr Stephen Brierley Oct 2020

“Another fabulous stay at Rowan Lodge,cozy, very clean and in a great location.”

Very dog friendly and we'll definitely be back again . What did you enjoy most about your stay? The badgers.

“Just had our 3rd visit to Rowan lodge and have to say it still.”

My favourite place in the lakes. Lovely cosy property, spotlessly clean. Has to be one of the best locations on the park with stunning views. Our dog thoroughly enjoyed the dog field and swimming in the stream.

Mrs Karen Vasey Aug 2020

We usually go abroad so this was definitely something different for us! The Cabin was brilliant, very spacious, well equipped and comfortable, an ideal base to explore the Lakes! We had read previous reviews about the badgers visiting the lodge & they did not disappoint! We left a little trail of peanut butter sandwiches for them & were amazed how quickly they arrived! What did you enjoy most about your stay? Making memories! What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Hire a little boat on Lake Windermere!

Mr Simon Lathbury Aug 2020

“The lodge it self is well located with stunning views of the local hills.”

The lodge was built in 2004 and is beginning to look a little tired however it was spotlessly clean and all the facilities you wanted in the lodge were there. The only thing you have to bring is yourself and your own food. The park has a great river which the dogs loved playing in, kids were playing in it. There is a good park for the kids to playing. There is an on-site pub which serves good food. There are two pubs close by. The mortal manAnd the Queens head both of which in walking distance. Ambleside Troutbeck and Windermere are very close by 5 to 10 minutes drive. The highlight of our stay was feeding peanut butter sandwiches to the badgers. We thought it was a joke when we saw it in the information but it is actually true. We had a brilliant time and have booked again for next year What did you enjoy most about your stay? Tranquility and a good base to explore the Lakes and it?s towns. Feeding the badgers peanut butter sandwiches at dusk. Fantastic to see. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Local walks at Elyrtwatet

- Mr Simon Lathbury, Aug 2020
Mrs Sarah Sansom Aug 2020

“Upon arrival, we were met by friendly, helpful staff who directed us to our lodge.”

The lodge itself was homely, clean and set in a beautiful location with all the facilities we could need. The Haybarn Inn was a little pricey but the food was fab and again, the staff were amazing. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Home away from home. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Exploring surrounding areas.

Mrs Gwenda Donald Jul 2020

“We have stayed at Rowans Lodge before and know it needs updating but it is in a very private part of the park and not overlooked so we were prepared for that.”

We also felt reassured during the present pandemic that we could not check in until 4 pm to allow for extra cleaning. I spent the first two hours of my well needed break from work in the NHS cleaning the lodge. I took photographs of the dead moths and filthy grill pan and sent them to Lake District Lodges. They responded immediately and apologised and I appreciate they are not the owners of the lodge and they said would pass on our concerns. I also understand that our complaint had been passed on to the cleaners. This will not deter us from booking with Lake District Lodges again as they responded quickly to our complaint. We will just book a different lodge. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Appreciating being able to get away in the lovely countryside and have a drink in a beer garden again What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The meal at the Queens Head in Troutbeck

- Mrs Gwenda Donald, Jul 2020

We are sorry that you had a disappointing start to your stay. Your feedback has been discussed at length with the housekeeper responsible and the issues have been put right. Please be assured that cleanliness of lodges is our priority and we will certainly do all we can to make sure something similar is not repeated. We do hope that despite the issues at the start you went on to have enjoyable stay. Rowan Lodge is in a great location on the park, backing onto woodland it offers peace and quiet and plenty of wildlife.

“We booked the cabin in December 2019, our first Xmas away from the family for over 50 years.”

We found the cabin to be all that was promised, very comfortable, warm, clean and very well equipped. The site was clean and tidy and the staff very helpful. We don't think we'll do it again at Xmas, we did miss our family, but still enjoyed the stay. If we came back it would be in the Summer/Autumn and enjoy some of the scenic walks, but we would definitely recommend it to others Shirley & Terry Evanson What did you enjoy most about your stay?

“Me, my Mum & my Dog had an absolutely fabulous holiday.”

The Lodge was great & will definitely be returning. It had everything we needed & more, very well equipt & homely. The grounds of the park were emacuate & the staff throughout were very friendly & helpful. The wildlife was spectacular, im a big animal / bird lover so i was in my eliment feeding & watching all that came to visit. Would recommend this park to anyone. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Everything was lovely & comfortable. Especially the proximty of the lodge to the wildlife. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The walks behind the lodge through the woodlands & a day trip to Windemere. Both the town & lake are well worth exploring.

Mrs Gwenda Donald Sep 2019

“2nd time at Rowan Lodge.”

The lodge is in one of the best locations on Limefitt Park next to the woods and hills and not overlooked. You can walk directly from the lodge to the Mortal Man and also to Ambleside over Wansfell without needing a car. We like the fact that Rowan Lodge has a bath after such long walks. It is a very dog friendly lodge and site with an enclosed dog exercise area. The decking area is also fenced off with a gate. What did you enjoy most about your stay? We were very lucky with the weather and even though a Bank Holiday weekend the lodge and site are away from the crowds. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The walk up the road next to the Post Office in Troutbeck to Ambleside is very dog friendly with the sheep fenced off the majority of the walk.

Miss Maria Smith Aug 2019

“We really enjoyed our stay at this lodge.”

It was comfortable and clean and had everything you needed. Loved seeing the badgers visit us every night for their food and we were also lucky to have deer visit us on a couple of occasions. The on site pub is ok and food was nice too. Overall a lovely stay What did you enjoy most about your stay? The wildlife and where lodge was situated What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Make the most of all the lovely walks and lakes nearby

Mr Charles Lazenby Jul 2019

“Lodge was clean and very comfortable.”

Everything we could possibly need was provided. Fantastic location for nature lovers with badgers, deer, rabbits and squirrel appearing from beyond the hedge. Site has own pub with beer garden and food available. There is also a shop at reception. Dogs welcome with their own exercise field. Wonderfully tranquil long weekend. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The wild life What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Feeding the badgers

Mr Chris Whur Jul 2019

“This was our first experience of hiring a lodge, the website was simple to use and provided lots of information.”

From the moment we arrived at the lodge it felt like home. Peaceful, quiet and well located both in the park and for exploring the surrounding area. We enjoyed the board games left at the lodge when the weather let us down. We saw deer, and the badger arrived every night for his peanut butter sandwiches. The only complaint we have is that we are due to visit the lakes again in September and Rowan is not available, but we intend to book the Rowan again as soon as possible. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The peace What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The National Trusts surprise view above Ashness Bridge

- Mr Chris Whur, Jul 2019

Thank you for your review Chris, we are delighted to hear you thoroughly enjoyed your stay.

“Rowan Lodge is in a fabulous spot on Limefitt Park.”

It is very private and not overlooked next to woods and fells. Our cockapoo absolutely loved the walks straight out of the door. The lodge has everything that you need and an added bonus of a bath after a long walk over Wansfell Pike to Ambleside and back again. There was constant hot water and a fully equipped kitchen. The only negative was that the outside of the lodge needed some TLC of the decking and furniture but it would not deter us from returning again soon. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The position of the lodge not being overlooked and the visiting wildlife. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The walk up the road next to the Post Office in Troutbeck to Ambleside is very dog friendly with the sheep fenced off the majority of the walk.

- Mrs Gwenda Donald, May 2019

Thank you for your very kind review Peter, we are so pleased to hear you and your Cockapoo thoroughly enjoyed your stay.

“We have stayed at this lodge quite a few times usually in the summer months but this was a break with 14 other family members all in different lodges for the festive break.”

We love the location of the lodge and the homlyness of it. We thought it might be a cold in lodge given the time of year but we were proven wrong it was so warm. We dined at the Haybarn a few nights and have no complaints there, the staff were very helpful and friendly. Will definitely be booking again. What did you enjoy most about your stay? All the family together for Christmas and the lodges not to far apart What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests?

Mrs Sandra Booth Oct 2018

“We were really thrilled by the lodge.”

The only problem we had was that we couldn't get any hot water, we reported this and someone came under the hour to get it working. We enjoyed the walks around the lodge area and met some very nice friendly people. When we went to the restaurant I asked if they could do some fish for our dog and they immediately said yes, nothing was too much trouble for them. We fed the badgers every night and also went down the road to feed the horses every day. We would not hesitate to recommend this lodge to anyone, and we are thinking of going again next year when it is our 25th wedding anniversary. What did you enjoy most about your stay?

“We have taken our holidays in this lodge for the past 5 or 6 years.”

We absolutely love it . The outside of the lodge is looking a little tired as it is an older lodge but, this would not stop us from booking again. If It came up for sale and we had the money we would snap it up, the position of the lodge is brilliant. Rowan Lodge is good value for money. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Location, position on the site because you are tucked away and you have the sun on the balcony if its there !

With regard to the decking, thank you for bringing this to our attention and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Mrs Julie Lane Sep 2017

“Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rowan Lodge despite the awful weather!”

! It is a very well equipped comfortable holiday lodge in a great location in terms of peace and tranquility and the nightly badger visits to the decking. Whilst the park wifi is good, the seperate broadband facility in the lodge was a definite winner for us. The grounds are very well maintained and the staff courteous, polite and extremely helpful, a truely professional team. The Haybarn was nice for a drink and a bite to eat but was a little disappointed that they had stopped taking orders by 8pm on the Saturday evening. So it was either a trek out in the rain or cheese and biscuits back at the lodge. Would highly recommend a stay here, very welcoming and dog friendly which is a massive draw for any dog lover. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Peaceful surroundings What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? A trip to Ambleside is a must

Mr David Rudman Aug 2017

“Rowan Lodge was beautifully positioned with lovely views from the balcony, the sofa, and first thing in the morning from the bedroom windows where you can watch the sun come up and the morning most roll away.”

The lodge was spacious and comfortable for us, with everything we needed, lovely selection of local books, dvds to watch and Wi-Fi. The local informatin folders were well worth a read and have some great ideas of where to walk and where to go. We could walk straight from our lodge straight into some spectacular scenery. We didn't want to leave. What did you enjoy most about your stay?

Mr Colin Mcmorran Jul 2017

“We thoroughly enjoyed our first stay at the Rowan.”

We chose it because of its location and because it has its own Wi-Fi access. The lodge was clean and functional. The sofas were very comfortable and having a full size fridge freezer was a bonus. The lodge heated up nicely with a powerful gas fire and efficient electric heaters (it was June but you know the Lakes!). We found that the kitchen had all the utensils we needed and the lodge had a nice big bathroom, however only a three-quarter length bath. There were comfortable chairs on the decking for when the sun shines (we sat out twice). And of course there are the badgers, who visited us every evening for their peanut butter bread squares. There were a several minor maintenance issues, which we reported and were told would be addressed, but overall we really enjoyed our stay, despite the weather. We will be booking the Rowan again for next year.

- Mr Colin Mcmorran, Jul 2017

Thank you for your review, Colin and letting us know you enjoyed your first stay at Rowan Lodge. One of our traditional log cabins that backs on to and overlooks woodland, a very peaceful spot and perfect for catching sight and enjoying the frequent visits from the local wildlife. With reference to the minor issues reported, these have all been addressed and we thank you for bringing these to our attention. The Lakes is renowned for ever changing weather although the lodge is designed and equipped for guests to have a relaxing and comfortable stay all year round, and indeed has its own WiFi connection. A wonderful holiday retreat, despite the weather! We are delighted to hear you will be returning next year and look forward to welcoming you (complete with your loyalty discount). Property Owner

“We had a lovely stay in Rowan Lodge.”

It was a rather damp weekend, that's the risk you take with a Spring break, but the lodge was very well kitted out even having an airer so drying 2 human coats, 2 dog coats and towels wasn't an issue. It was a lovely place to relax and just chill after a few stressful weeks at work. Lots of books on local wildlife to look at, a variety of DVD's to watch and great access to the internet. Loved watching all the birds that visited although we were gutted not to have seen the badgers - a good reason to come back again ;-) What did you enjoy most about your stay? A lovely place just to relax What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? We visited Waterhead just down the road near Ambleside and the cafe on the front was marvellous. The Daily Special of a blueberry scone with hot rum butter and cream was to die for and they even served our dogs with a biscuit too

Mr Andrew Shrubb Nov 2016

“Pound for pound, it was better value staying in the centre of Ambleside.”

Location not convenient for guests wishing to use public transport. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Walking in the Lake District. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Visiting and walking in Great Langdale.

- Mr Andrew Shrubb, Nov 2016

Thank you for your very brief review, Andrew. We were sorry to hear that your stay did not quite match up with your expectations although we were rather surprised to hear that you were relying on public transport during your stay. We would advise anyone staying at Limefitt Park to have their own car. The Park is situated in the countryside and it offers guests the chance to relax and unwind in a peaceful setting with beautiful views. In comparison Ambleside is a town with all the hustle and bustle that the lovely little town has to offer. We feel the two are not comparable although we are sorry that you only discovered this whilst on your stay. As you have not mentioned anything about the accommodation we trust it was to your satisfaction. Rowan Lodge is a traditional log cabin that is full of charm. It provides very welcoming and cosy accommodation at a very competitive price, and with the added advantage of its own broadband connection. It has become a popular holiday retreat for those looking for peace and tranquillity yet within easy reach of tourist hotspots for places to eat and drink and shop. Property Owner
Mrs Julie Roebuck Nov 2016

“We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend break at Rowan Lodge.”

The traditional interior with its pine-clad walls gave a cosy, warm feel which suited the autumnal weather. The lodge had everything we needed and was extremely clean and welcoming. We had chosen to stay in this particular lodge because of its location in the park which didn't disappoint. We had wonderful views from the kitchen window of a grassy/woodland area where we managed to spot two deer, a woodpecker and an assortment of other birds. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Being amongst the beautiful landscape and wildlife of the Lake District. We saw deer and a woodpecker from our kitchen window. We put out food for the badgers but, although they came and ate the food, we missed spotting them doing so! What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? A walk from Elterwater to Skelwith Bridge passing Skelwith Force Waterfall on the way.

Mrs Marie Leake Oct 2016

“Rowan Lodge was everything I had hoped for.”

Comfort, tranquil, and clean. The location on the park is excellent with having the woods next to you we were able to fed the badgers, deer, rabbits and birds. Lovely dog field so was able to let them have a good run around. Will definitely book again. The owners do a fab job everything you need is there xxx What did you enjoy most about your stay? Peace and quiet lovely walks What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Behind the pub is an excellent walk you can see lake Windermere and it took us 2 1/2 hours to get back beautiful walk

- Mrs Marie Leake, Oct 2016

Thank you for your review and very kind of you to leave such great comments, Marie. We were delighted to hear Rowan Lodge was everything you had hoped for.

Mrs Lisa Smith Sep 2016

“Rowan Lodge may have been booked at short notice, but it is worth a return stay.”

The lodge is extremely clean, warm, homely and spacious. It is in a excellent location, quiet and the grounds it is set in are lovely. There was everything in the lodge we needed. Plenty of hot water to. The only small issue I had, was the mattress on the double bed. To uncomfortable for me, but my husband slept like a log. It was the wildlife that we all enjoyed as a family, feed the birds when you get there and you are rewarded with a beautiful song every morning. Leave peanut butter sandwiches out for the badgers, who are lovely to watch. Also leave out seconds as 5 minutes later another badger will follow. Also the roe deer made a appearance. The park is so clean and tidy. The only thing that lets it down is the Haybarn inn, painfully slow and very expensive. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The Badgers What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The beautiful scenery

- Mrs Lisa Smith, Sep 2016

Thank you for leaving such a lovely review. It is a pleasure to read and great to hear that you enjoyed your stay so much that it is worth returning for another! We were sorry that the mattress was a little uncomfortable for you although quite the opposite for your husband - we do find comfort to be of a personal preference, having said that we will check the mattress for any damage and monitor future comments. The lodge is perfectly situated to take advantage of the wildlife, especially from the terrace. It has become a popular choice for those wanting to stay in a traditional log cabin surrounded by open countryside, and its own unlimited broadband connection for keeping in touch. We look forward to welcoming you again in the near future. Property Owner
Miss Ann Oborn Sep 2016

The decking provides a superb view of the hills, or for watching the local wildlife and is a perfect sun trap.

Can't name just one, it's near to Windermere, Grassmere and Ambleside all within a short drive for a enjoyable leisurely walk around this stunning countryside.

Mr Mark Wheeler Jul 2016

“The Lake District has some amazing views with stunning landscapes to enjoy, my current favourite has to be Aira Falls at Ullswater but I'm sure there are many more just as nice that I haven't seen.”

..yet! This was our first real break in The Lakes and it certainly wont be the last. You can relax all day and just enjoy the scenery, take a leisurely stroll or do some serious hiking, all with fantastic views all around. If you like mountain biking then there are plenty of trails for you. Take a trip into Bowness on Windermere and you'll be amazed at all the places you can eat, there really is something for everyone. I would recommend doing some online research first though as It always pays to plan ahead. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Amazing scenery and peacefulness. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Aira Force and Ullswater. Absolutely stunning views and plenty of things to do.

Mrs Kelly Nicholls Jun 2016

“Me and my family of four and our dog was pleasantly suprised when we arrived at this lodge as this was not our first choice and was pet friendly.”

I expected it to be dated and shabby. This was definately not the case it was brilliantly situated on the site and was comfortable, homely and clean. Would definately recommend to anyone looking for a quiet family getaway. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The beautiful surroundings and location What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Brockhole

Mrs Amanda Pepper Jun 2016

“We stayed at Rowan lodge for 3 nights and don't have a bad word to say - a family of 5, 3 children, aged 9 months, a 3 year old and a 5 year old.”

The lodge was clean and welcoming on arrival, a fantastic quick check in at reception and the lodge was in an excellent location. The kids were free to play out on the grassed area with no cars zooming around. A fantastic kids adventure playgroup right next to the little stream for fishing and paddling. Just perfect!!!!! The badgers made our trip super special, we saw them every night!!! We loved it at Limefitt Park and will definitely be back!! One tiny ( and it really is tiny) negative was the lodge/sofa could do with a real good vac, a few dogs hairs! But apart from that I was very happy!!! Everything we needed was provided and In good condition. The lodge comfortable and relaxing and we loved every minute. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Location, peace and quiet. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Boat trip on Windermere.

- Mrs Amanda Pepper, Jun 2016

Thank you very much for your kind comments, Amanda. We are so pleased to hear you all had a great stay at Rowan Lodge. It is in such a superb location with remarkable views and the peace and tranquillity are just bliss. And with space for the children to run around and for you not have to worry - perfect. We were sorry to hear the sofa was not as clean as you expected ? we have since informed the housekeepers and we will keep it under review. Thank you for bringing it to our attention and please accept our apologies. Rowan is one of our traditional lodges and has a very cosy feel, lovely for a family get together or a peaceful break away. We would be delighted for you to return in the near future. Property Owner

- Mr Paul Hughes, Jun 2016
Mr Brian Coogan Jun 2016

“Nice location on a good site, parking very tight and awkward.”

Didn't help that during our stay new decking was being laid to a lodge right next door so banging and sawing was rather unwelcome for the whole week (we are early out and back so mid afternoon was relax time for us or, should have been), would have been better if we'd been warned on arrival. Lodge has seen better days but comfortable and clean enough, well appointed with everything you need however, the wire mesh outside on the decking is dangerous and definitely not pet or un-shoed human friendly. Dangerous middle step on climb up to deck level (reported). Overall a very friendly site with welcoming staff and we enjoyed our stay but, very overpriced for time of year and length of stay, I seriously doubt we will re-visit. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The views and friendly staff. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Follow the track along top of site to nearby valley.

- Mr Brian Coogan, Jun 2016

Thank you for your review, Brian. Your comments are very valuable to us. We were sorry to hear your peace was disturbed due to work being carried out on the neighbouring lodge. We realise it was unexpected and you were not aware - had we known we would have let you know in advance. Please do accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience it caused you. On a positive note the issue you reported is fixed, and the lodge owners are also aware and are having the wire mesh checked and made safe ? thank you very much for letting us know. The price of the lodge varies on the time of year and May is one of our busy months at the start of the season, although we have alternative accommodation to suit all budgets and our bookings team are very willing to help and advise when choosing a lodge. Many of our guests book Rowan Lodge for the charm of staying in a traditional log cabin, and the views are spectacular. Perfect for a family or a couple and with some beautiful walks on the doorstep, where could be better for unwinding and enjoying the openness of the countryside. Lovely to hear you went on to have an enjoyable stay. We would be delighted if you would like to return in the future and we are sure you will find the accommodation and park to your satisfaction.

“Perfect cabin in perfect location, Low wood Leisure Centre brilliant especially for overlooking Lake Windermere in the Hot Tub.”

Great bar/restaurant on site - all very doggy friendly which is important to many. Endless hot water, kitchen utensils/pans etc., stocked extensively. The only downside was the cooker (oven) which was very slow - took 6 hours to cook a Turkey joint (not whole bird) and a ham. Would definitely stay at Rowan Lodge again.

- Mr Rob Jerger, Jan 2016
Mr Robert Clapp Nov 2015

Mrs Sharon Reilly Sep 2015

“Disappointed we had to wait for the cleaners to finish.”

Could't get into the lodge until 3.30pm. Was supposed to be available from 3pm. Main double bed is extremely uncomfortable, I'd say it needs a new mattress. Dust all over the bedside cabinets in both bedrooms and freezer dirty! What did you enjoy most about your stay? Location What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Walking

- Mrs Sharon Reilly, Sep 2015

Thank you for your feedback, Sharon. We apologise that there were a few cleaning issues and you were not able to get into the lodge at the designated arrival time. Although the lodge should have been prepared properly for your arrival this is the first we knew about these issues. It would have be been helpful to let us know when you arrived as we would have asked the cleaners to return to put things right. We do find comfort of beds is a personal thing and the mattress is not that old. You have only listed things which weren't right for you so we don't know anything about your stay itself. Rowan Lodge is a very popular, traditional log cabin which enjoys a lovely position at Limefitt Park backing onto the woods. Property Owner

Mrs Carolina Knight May 2015

“Rowan Lodge was a fantastic place to stay and enjoy the beauty of the Lake District.”

It has all the necessary items to be able to cook, relax and have a good stay. As a home away from home. The instructions left on the table were a great addition that added to our holiday. Having the bird food and notes on how to feed the badgers was a lovely touch and we really enjoyed seeing the wildlife about. We particularly liked the location of this chalet in comparison to others in the park as it has more green open space around and great views of the hills around. The fact that we could take our dog with us was just great. What did you enjoy most about your stay? How comfortable the chalet is, the location and the wildlife about.

Every step of the process was smooth from booking to confirmation. We even got a text the day before. The lodge itself was perfect and exactly what we were looking for.

Thank you for reviewing your recent stay at Rowan Lodge, Susan. We appreciate you pointing out a couple of things and apologise for the mattress not being quite right.

The lodge is of the older, traditional style and Rowan Lodge actually has a much larger bathroom (than other similar lodges) which is commented on by many guests. It does offer great value for money as you point out. We will be delighted to arrange another stay in the future and there is a big choice of lodges to view on our website www.lakedistrictlodgeholidays.co.uk if you wish to consider an alternative.

“My daughter her partner and toddler stayed at this lodge, during their stay a new lodge was being erected adjacent to Rowan Lodge.”

This caused problems as a crane was used for the works and as a result they could not get access to the lodge with their car. This caused problems with them having a toddler, fortunately we were staying in Jinnyspinner lodge and they could park their car next to ours. I realise that this is not a regular occurrence, but they enjoyed the stay immensely. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Location & weather!! What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Fell foot park excellent ( if the weather is nice)

- , Sep 2014

Thank you for taking the time to provide a review of your daughter's stay at Rowan Lodge. Apologies that your daughter was inconvenienced by a new lodge being sited next to Rowan Lodge. This is part of the park's operational needs and is a very rare occurrence and we were sorry we were unaware that it was going to happen during their stay other wise we would have advised accordingly. That said we were delighted that you rated all other aspects of your stay as 5 out of 5. Property Owner

“Very welcoming arrival - great information and prompt communication from booking.”

Helpful, friendly and knowledgeable staff on our arrival. Good, well stocked on the site for basics. Rowan Lodge has a wonderfully secluded position and level of privacy, backing on to woodland. The lodge itself is well equipped to cater for most people's needs. There are numerous walks locally and further afield. We would recommend purchasing OS maps prior to your holiday. However, there are a wealth of books at the lodge. The only small criticism was that the cleanliness of the lodge could have been improved upon. On of the highlights was the many sightings of the local badgers - especially when peanut butter sandwiches were made available!! We would highly recommend this to people looking for a quiet, well secluded location and a perfect base for days of adventure. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Great geographical position, brilliant local walks, great local amenities, we and our two dogs loved it! What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Several local walks directly from the park site.

- Mrs Sophie Traves-bolton, May 2014

Thank you for reviewing your stay at Rowan Lodge. Sounds like you enjoyed your latest stay there. We appreciate your comments about the cleanliness and will address that with the housekeepers. The lodge does have a lovely position backing onto the woods which makes it a peaceful place to enjoy a stay at Limefitt. Property Owner

“Rowan Lodge and Limefitt Park were a great partnership.”

The location is great for accessing mWindermere, Ambleside, and glennridding The Haybarn produced excellent food, there are great play facilities for younger children, and a play field for the older ones. Even your dog has a dedicated play field! The lodge was well maintained and in a great position. The lodge's facilities were good, and the free wifi an added bonus. The owners provided everything that you could need including local walking books, maps and guides, games, dvd's and a well equipped kitchen. The evening badger show was tops! Would visit again.
