Nicola August 2024

“Lovely spacious lodge with views of the fells from the lounge.”

Everything you need for a short stay is there, you would not know it was a dog friendly lodge, very clean. We had a comfortable stay and will probably return in the future.

- Nicola, August 2024
Chris August 2024

“Great lodge for a family stay, we really enjoyed the lodge and park.”

It’s probably more suited to families with smaller children. The lodge had everything we needed and was well looked after. Positives, great location, good size lodge, great wifi which the kids loved. And overall well looked after. My Feedback would be the shower in the main bed room had one temperature which could not be altered , this was very warm - too warm for young children. . the toaster had one side which was broken and did not pop up the toast. This need replacing Minor points on what was a great stay - would definitely consider returning in the future thanks for a lovely break in a beautiful place

Karl July 2024

“Lovely lodge on great location in well kept peaceful park.”

Spotlessly clean with everything you could possibly need, you'd never know it was a pet friendly lodge! Few minor signs of wear and tear but to be expected in holiday rental. Beds slightly firm for our liking,but realise you can't please everyone. Great holiday and wouldn't hesitate to book again!

- Karl, July 2024
David June 2024

“The standard of cleanliness has slipped.”

The lodge requires redecorating. The toilet flush keeps sticking. The smell from the vacuum cleaner is disgusting and fills the whole lodge. Black mould in the sealant around the bath and shower needs attention. This was our second visit to the lodge but it will be our last and we will not be recommending it to anyone else.

- David, June 2024

Robert May 2024

“We are always quite careful when renting through Sykes to check the reviews and in this case they were accurate.”

We've been visiting Limefitt Park for nearly 20 years and this is one of the nicest lodges we've stopped in. It was clean, comfortable and finished to a high standard. None of the photos show the fab view from the decking - good for al fresco dining. The lodge wifi (a 4g router) was fast enough. The things we didn't like were minor - the bathroom sinks (style over practicality), the flush on the en-suite sticks sometimes, my partner lost a bottle of shower gel behind the ensuite shower because there is nowhere else to put it down. Branches (still) tap on the roof when it is windy. But would we stop here again - absolutely.

- Robert, May 2024

Darren February 2024

“What a absolutely stunning lodge, positioned beautifully within Limefitt.”

The scenery through the patio windows, the decor and peaceful homely atmosphere throughout. It could perhaps do with a lick of paint and new dining chairs for the more particular guest but honestly we didn't mind and found it both modern and charming. Nothing has been over looked by the owners, everything you could possibly need is there for your convenience from dog bowl to champagne bucket! The views from the veranda on that comfy patio set really was a cherry on the cake just breathtaking. We had such a relaxing stay and can't wait to come back. We will definitely book this lodge whenever possible. Thank you.

- Darren, February 2024
Donna September 2023

“The property was well equipped with all the things you need for a week away.”

We had lots of issues, the heating did not work and the bedding didn’t really fit the main bed properly. Very tired decor, carpets needed a good clean and overall not the standard that was advertised.

- Donna, September 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear of the issues that you found. We will ask our Housekeeping and Maintenance Teams to look into the comments raised. Thank you- The Lake District Lodge Holidays Owner Relations Team Property Owner
Lyndsey August 2023

“Lovely positioned lodge with great amount of space but I feel some of the carpets and decor needs some attention to get it back to a 5* lodge it seems like it was.”

The tree needs cutting back a bit also as currently the branches knock on the roof of the bedroom when it’s windy during the night

- Lyndsey, August 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We will ask our Housekeeping Team to look into the points raised. Thank you- The Lake District Lodge Holidays Owner Relations Team Property Owner

“Absolutely lovely, in great location.”

Everything you could possibly need. Also great for dogs, our Cocker Spaniel Arthur had a ball.

Stephen July 2023

“Thanks, lovely lodge in a great location on the park and as a base for touring the lakes.”

Everything we needed was there and would return. The only negative was the lack of any form of Welcome Pack (but no major problems as we went up to the store) Thanks again for a great stay

Mark May 2023

“Great lodge.”

Comfortable, warm, clean and spacious with just about everything you need and centrally located between the Haybarn and office/shop. Been here several times before and will come back again soon. Owners have made some changes since we last stayed, like non slip decking by the door, nice touch. I'm afraid I have to agree with a previous review though in that the mattress is incredibly hard. The bed is too high aswell for my liking. The washer dryer needs attention though as the dryer doesn't work and it left a puddle of water on the floor. Minor niggles really. I would definitely recommend this lodge to anyone wanting to stay at Limefitt.

- Mark, May 2023

Thank you for your kind comments, we are so pleased to see that you enjoyed your stay. We take all comments on board, and will ask our Maintenance team to take a look into the issue with the dryer. We hope to welcome you again. The Lake District Lodge Holidays Owner Relations Team. Property Owner

Carol October 2022

“It was a lovely log cabin large with lovely views, mattress very hard had to sleep on settee first 2 nights then put another duvet on bed to lie on.”

When stripped bed on last day mattress protector badly stained, if I had seen this before would never have slept on it. Towels were badly marked like bleach had taken the colour out, had to buy some towels in Kendal. Carpet badly stained in spare room and main bedroom. Cleaned unit in en-suite were sink sat as dirty and lots of hairs. Apart from that it was a lovely cabin

“Lovely lodge and location, everything we needed.”

Only suggestion would be some privacy curtains or blinds.

Everything was awesome the only little thing that I can comment on was that the food from the pub on site wasn’t up to the rest of the standards apart from that I really can’t say enough high praise for the site accommodation and staff

- Mark, April 2022

Thank you for your feedback and we are pleased to hear you had a lovely stay. The park facilities are operated by Parkdean Resorts which is a separate company to ourselves, however, we will pass your comments across on your behalf. We look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner
Joanne April 2022

“Lovely lodge with amazing views of the valley, very clean and was definitely a plus having a king size bed rather than a double like most other lodges.”

The rooms felt spacious. The only thing I would recommend the owners getting soap dishes for the bathrooms as the lovely wooden units will get ruined but that isn’t a negative just a suggestion. Would definitely stay in the lodge again

- Joanne, April 2022

Thank you for your feedback and your recommendation. It is lovely to hear of how much you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to welcoming you back soon. Property Owner
Stuart March 2022

“The boiler failed one morning therefore no heating or hot water available it just needed to be reset.”

The switch panel on the wall under the kitchen unit needs to have proper labels fitted as it was easy to turn off the fridge freezer without realizing.

- Stuart, March 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted to hear the boiler issue you encountered was resolved and that you went on to continue your stay. We will look into adding a label for future guests, thank you for bringing it to our attention. We do hope you enjoyed your stay and took home some amazing memories. We look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner
Joanne February 2022

“A beautiful holiday lodge in a peaceful and picturesque setting.”

Great pub on- site and a short drive away from local amenities. We stayed in February 22 and thoroughly enjoyed it, can only imagine this would be a wonderful spot during summer months were you can enjoy the outside decking area more with family, would certainly recommend.

- Joanne, February 2022
Diane February 2022

“A rainy weekend in February, but despite the weather we had a lovely stay.”

The lodge is beautiful, clean, extremely comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed the fantastic selection of DVDs and the comforting pitter patter of rain on the roof as we slept. We had very poor Wi-Fi signal which was unusual as we didn’t have this problem in our previous stay. Not a problem for us oldies but our teenage daughter wasn’t impressed. Nevertheless we’ll be back.

- Diane, February 2022

Thank you for your valued feedback. We are glad to read that you enjoyed your stay. The WiFi is supplied by the Park and outside of our control. It would be our pleasure to welcome you back. Property Owner
Richard December 2021

“Thiswas our second stay at Limefitt having stayed there last year and the cabin itself was fantastic and well-appointed with everything we needed.”

We would probably have re-booked for the same time next year with you but the extreme increase in prices has put us off as we fail to see how a 67% increase can be justified!!

- Richard, December 2021

Thank you for the review, Mr Elliot. We note all you say and whilst pleased you find the lodge fantastic we were sorry to hear the pricing is not to your liking. The pricing continues to be under review and we do have offers on throughout the year so please keep an eye out for these. Troutbeck Retreat is a delightful lodge and a great place to stay. We do hope you will book with us again soon. Property Owner
Lyn November 2021

“An absolutely beautiful lodge to stay in with amazing views of the surrounding area.”

This is the second time we've stayed here, and we were as happy as the first time, did not want to leave.

Sarah November 2021

“A lovely lodge, we've stayed many times, always spotlessly clean, a little bit of mould round the bath on the sealant but that's the only thing I could find.”

It's definitely home from home on the loveliest site. Can't wait to go back.

- Sarah, November 2021

Thank you for your valued feedback. We will pass the issue of mould onto the housekeeping manager to look into. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. We look forward to you welcoming your return, to stay in the Lakes Property Owner

Fiona July 2021

“" Great Lodge in a great location.”

We like it so much we have stayed at the Lodge at the same time each year for many years now". We were extremely disappointed to find out that since Sykes Cottages have taken over Lake District Lodge Holidays they have done away with the returning guest discount and the Lodge is a whopping Â£324 more expensive than it was last year!!

- Fiona, July 2021

Thank you for your feedback and we are pleased to hear you have had another wonderful stay. Our prices do fluctuate daily with supply and demand of bookings. It is always worth keeping a regular check on our website for any special offers which my be placed on Troutbeck Retreat. It would be our pleasure and the owners to have you visit the lodge in the future. Property Owner
Caroline July 2021

“This is the second time we have stayed in Troutbeck Retreat.”

The first visit was before Covid and we had major problems from the boiler failing and noted several things that were broken, not working, missing. We assumed that by the time we returned on this visit that at least some of the issues highlighted previously would have been addressed. To our dismay NOTHING as been addressed and we still had to reset the boiler EVERY DAY of our stay. Despite this, we were contemplating on returning next year but shockingly the price to stay next year in the same lodge has doubled in price. Therefore, we have booked a much bigger and better maintained lodge for less than the price of this one.

- Caroline, July 2021

Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry to hear you continued to have problems with the boiler. This has been passed to our maintenance team who will look into this further. Had you contacted us during your stay, we would have sent a member of our team down to look into the issues for you. We are sorry you feel you could not do this. We do hope you will return to us and maybe visit one of the other lodges on our portfolio. Property Owner
Fiona June 2021

“The lodge was fantastic, the photos don’t do it justice was much bigger than we expected.”

Lovely and clean and well stocked. The dog field was great as an enclosed area with no livestock so dogs could have a good run

- Fiona, June 2021
Tina May 2021

“We would stay at Limefitt again, this was our second time but this lodge was a disappointment.”

Hopefully the boiler will have been sorted out, we had to reset it every morning to get hot water and have the heating on. There is a washer dryer but even with the instruction leaflet we couldn’t get the drying part to work which is probably why the blurb says it has a washing machine. The dishwasher needs salt and rinse aid, but we were surprised that these were not provided, totally get you have to bring dish washer tablets from home. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils, pans etc. Spare bin bags were not left so take more of those. Be careful with the bank of switches on the kitchen wall, the switch for the fridge freezer is there and it is easy to switch it off in error. If you do need to call LDH, they are good at arranging for wardens, engineers to visit, the out of hours number given to us on the email we received was for the warden at Whitecross Bay, no doubt this was a computer error when Skyes Cottages merged with LDH. The best thing about this lodge is that there is tool kit is the bottom drawer!

- Tina, May 2021
John May 2021

“Had a great time lovely accommodation in a wonderful setting.”

Pub/restaurant onsite was good but to the local one up the hill was fantastic food excellent and lovely to sit in just for a drink.

Miss Laura Moss Nov 2020

“We absolutely loved our stay at the lodge!”

It was spotless on arrival & had all of the amenities we could have wanted throughout the stay. The heating was super toasty at night time and the large decking area outside allowed us to sit in the fresh air with a morning coffee whilst enjoying the gorgeous countryside views. Windermere was close by for a gander to the lake and shops whilst the other lakes were only a 20-40 minute drive away which kept us busy during our 7 day stay! I would recommend this lodge to everyone and we cannot wait to return! What did you enjoy most about your stay? The size of the lodge and it?s cleanliness. The location too. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Day out in Windermere or Keswick is highly recommended.

- Miss Laura Moss, Nov 2020
Mr Alexander Henderson Oct 2020

“4th time at Limefitt and always a good break.”

Great lodge despite looking a little bare due to the COVID restrictions. Nice area for the dog to run around by the stream. Good food and drink at the dog friendly Haybarn. All staff very friendly as usual. Definitely back soon. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Great location. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Visits to nearby Grasmere and Keswick.

Mrs Caroline O'shaughnessy Oct 2020

“This is our second visit to Limefitt Park but our first in Troutbeck Retreat Lodge.”

Upon arriving on Monday, everything about the lodge was fab, and hubby, me, 2 kids, and a dog, settled in for the week. On Tuesday morning we noticed that the cabin was cold and we just assumed the heating was on a timer and switched off for the night. The thermostat was raised, and the heating seemed to work although I noticed the water for the shower wasn't very hot. Wednesday morning, the boiler wasn't on, Low Pressure on the dial, which explains why it was off and lights flashing. By the evening time, we decided to call the number shown in the manual and my hubby got through to a lovely maintenance man from 'Lake district Lodge Holidays'. He came out and had a look, but then told us that because the lodge was 'privately owned' he couldn't do anything. So, he told us to phone another number which was a different company, but surprisingly it rang his phone. He was unaware that this other number had been patched through to his phone. So then he thought it best to go and find the Park Manager which he did and brought him back to the lodge. The Park manager reiterated the same issue that he couldn't do anything because the Lodge is privately owned. The boiler was reset and even though the pressure was still low, it worked again. Thursday morning, lodge freezing, now NO water, no boiler. My hubby thought best to go to the reception at the Park to report No Water. The person on reception explained that since the lodge was privately owned there wasn't anything she could do. At this point, my hubby was not happy. All he wanted to hear was an apology for the inconvenience and that someone would be looking into the problem. But all he got was 'it's not our problem' and I quote 'what do you want me to do about it'! Then there was a conversation about the 'red tape'. So, there is the privately owned Lodge, that sits on a holiday park owned by Parkdean Resorts, which apparently has now been bought over by Sykes Cottages, and the privately owned Lodge is rented out by Lake District Lodge Holidays who is now the company to report the fact there is no water on a site that belongs to Parkdean Resorts, who's staff are on-site but don't help out if you happen to be a customer of a privately owned lodge. As it turns out, there was in fact a burst water main on-site that affected the whole park, which I was eventually notified of by Lake District Lodge Holidays, even though it was a Parkdean Resort problem to resolve. In reference to this Lodge, It should be made very clear to the customer on the first day of a holiday, that any issues of any kind must be referred to Lake District Lodge Holidays only. Unfortunately, we only received that message on Thursday. It was a very stressful holiday for us but a burst water main could happen at any time and is not really the fault of anyone so we are looking at it as bad luck, but it could have been handled better by Parkdean staff. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The location, views. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Hill Walking.

- Mrs Caroline O'shaughnessy, Oct 2020
Mr Kevin Sheridan Oct 2020

“The overall experience was very good.”

The lodge was absolutely fantastic, plenty of space inside and out and cleaned to a high standard. Ability to park you car by the lodge was a welcome addition. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The view What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? If you plan to visit any local towns, get there early.

Mrs Helen Mather Sep 2020

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Troutbeck Lodge with our little dog.”

The lodge itself was spacious, exceptionally clean, had everything we needed and more. The deck at the front of the lodge is a sun trap. What a lovely place to sit and relax. The view of the fells, even in the rain was spectacular! The park is ideally situated to explore the beautiful Lake District. I used to spend all my childhood holidays in the Lakes but have not been back since our children were small ( they are 33 & 28 now) so it was lovely visiting some old haunts and reminiscing. We definitely hope to return and can highly recommend. Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely Lodge! What did you enjoy most about your stay?

We were pleasantly surprised at how big the lodge was and it was very clean which was lovely. The bed was big and comfy. The location of the site at Troutbeck was great for visiting other locations around Windermere. The site was great for dogs and had a enclosed field for the dogs to run round in. It was great having a pub on site that the dogs were welcome in. The staff were friendly. The food was very average but was not over priced. We would definitely stay at Troutbeck again.

“Stayed at Troutbeck Retreat Lodge which was very comfortable and spacious.”

Limefitt Park is a good base to travel from, and not to far from Windermere. We hired taxis which were reasonably priced when we wanted to go out on a night time. There is also a good pub on site where you can have meals. We would definitely return to Troutbeck Retreat Lodge in the future. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Spending a long weekend with family in a relaxing atmosphere. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Boat experience on Windermere Lake, visit to Grasmere.

Mr Jim Cooke Sep 2018

“A few small issues need to be rectified.”

The door next to the table did not feel as though it would close securely. The internal door from the lounge to the hallway didn't close. The two bedside lights in the small bedroom didn't work and in the lounge two lghts were out. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The walking. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? For a wet day Blackwell near Windermere is fascinating.

Mr Raymond Zurbriggren Jul 2018

“We had a wonderful 7 night stay at Troutbeck Retreat Lodge in Limefitt park and were blessed with Heatwave weather conditions !”

The Lodge was very clean and comfortable with a lovely spacious decking area to relax on and secure for our 2 little dogs to enjoy as well . An addition of Fly Screens fitted in summer would make the experience just perfect as we struggled to keep them at bay with all windows and doors open to keep the lodge cool ! Overall great stay and we hope to return very soon . What did you enjoy most about your stay? The position of lodge What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? We loved the walks around the site

“Another really excellent stay at Limefit Park.”

Once again the lodge we chose,( Troutbeck Retreat ) was excellent in every respect. The lodge was spotless and was so well appointed it felt a proper home from home. The kitchen had everything you could want and was really spacious and easy to work. Television in every room if needed and a DVD player. Lounge nice and comfortable with plenty of seating. We would definitely book this lodge again. If you are in Limefit Park a visit to the Haybarn pub is a must if you do not fancy cooking. Meals are good and well presented and very reasonably priced. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The lodge facilities What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? A day at Keswick market on a Thursday is a must. Also if you go to Hawkshead, visit the little Sun cafe. Might be small but the food and service is excellent.

“A Lovely lodge.”

Everything you needs is at hand. Had a small problem with the tv when we arrived. I emailed the contact email and within 10 minutes we had a very friendly member of site staff to come and sort the problem. I was kept informed of any information regarding the problem all weekend due to it being a problem in the south lakes area. It was my 3rd stay at troutbeck retreat and I know there will definitely be more visits. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Comfort. Just like home from home. But with better views. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Ambleside

Mr Paul Woods Feb 2018

“We experienced minor poor maintenance problems during our stay which need to be rectified to improve our rating.”

These are :- Renew the toaster and microwave. Both are old and in poor condition. Repair the boiler as the hot water at the showers does not get hot and fluctuates between warm and cold and the electric fire in the lounge needs repairing as it constantly cuts out ! If these faults are rectified my ratings would have been good. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Seeing the lake district scenery covered in snow from inside the pub having lunch. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Steamer and train trip from Bownes to Haverthwaite

- Mr Paul Woods, Feb 2018

Thank you for your feedback comments, Paul and we apologise there were a few things not quite right for you. Occasionally we aren't aware of the odd maintenance issue arising between guest stays although as you kindly let us know soon after your departure these have now been addressed. We have also passed on your comments to the owners of Troutbeck Retreat who are responsible for the condition of the lodge. We trust you went on to enjoy your stay as this particular lodge is beautifully presented and well equipped for relaxing break in the Lakes. Property Owner

Miss Hayley Cahill Dec 2017

“This was the 2nd time staying at this lodge and everything was good, but the only thing I will complain about was that the pub onsite (Haybarn Inn) was shut at 9pm on a Saturday night.”

My partner and I booked this lodge because of the convenience of there being an onsite pub and for it to be closed so early with no notice was extremely disappointing. We tried to contact customer services about it and it resulted in us speaking to the warden who promised us we would get a phone call the next day from someone else. That call never happened. Very disappointing. We paid full price for the lodge so I would have expected better service on this as a returning customer. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The lodge was lovely and great location What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Walking in the area

- Miss Hayley Cahill, Dec 2017

Thank you for your review. We were sorry to hear that you were inconvenienced by The Haybarn Inn closing early without warning during your stay. This facility is provided by the park owners themselves and, as the independent booking agent for Troutbeck Retreat, we have no control over the service you experience from the park staff during your stay. We have passed your comments on to the Park Manager so they know what happened. In understanding your frustrations, we are disappointed you chose to write your 'complaint' in a review of your stay particularly as you made no mention of this to us during or immediately after your stay and have subsequently given us and the lodge a poor customer service rating. We were glad to hear that everything was to your satisfaction with your accommodation - Troutbeck Retreat is a very popular and spacious lodge enjoyed by all who stay there. Property Owner

Mr William Mcglinn Aug 2016

“Troutbeck retreat is a very quiet, clean and beautiful park.”

The kids loved playing in the beautiful shallow river. The lodge was of a high standard very cosy, clean, comfortable and had everything you needed. However we had a very poor experience when we visited the Haybarn on the Saturday evening, service was terrible. We waited an hour on food & my husband couldn't eat his when it did come it was so over cooked. So we didn't return the rest of the week. There is some lovely places to eat in Bowness though. For us with 2 young kids there was not enough to keep us entertained for a week but would be a lovely couples or group holiday. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The lovely views around the park What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The lakeside zoo & the Lowwood water sports centre were both excellent days out

- Mr William Mcglinn, Aug 2016

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for the good ratings, William. We were very pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay at the lodge although disappointed on hearing of your experience of the Haybarn. In response we have passed on your comments to the park management for their consideration and although it is something outside of our control, please accept our apologies. An excellent alternative is the Mortal Man, it is just walking distance from Limefitt with a superb outlook towards Troutbeck valley and a picturesque beer garden - lovely on a sunny day.

We are delighted you found Troutbeck Retreat to your satisfaction ? one of our luxury lodges tastefully designed and set in beautiful surroundings. We look forward to you returning as a family in the near future. Property Owner

Mrs Diane Poupart Jul 2016

“We and the dog had a fantastic stay.”

The lodge was in a good location on the site. Terrace was in full sun most of the day (June) and was gated so that the dog could walk around without us worrying. We will definitely come back. Only request was for a Parasol to be provided for the garden table. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Fantastic scenery, being able to relax on the terrace What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Boat trip from Bowness to Ambleside, trip into the town and then catching the boat back.

- Mrs Diane Poupart, Jul 2016
Mrs Valerie Umbers Jun 2016

“We stayed in Troutbeck Retreat for a week in June.”

The lodge was very comfortable with the lounge & kitchen areas especially well laid out & offering plenty of space for the two of us. Over the years we have taken many lodge holidays throughout the UK & Troutbeck would score somewhere in the middle of 1 - 10 for us. We did have a couple of issues with facilities - having said that, Lake District Lodge Holidays dealt promptly & fairly to resolve this. We would therefore not hesitate to book with the company again. Limefitt Park is a very quiet site a couple of miles out of Windermere town - lovely area with wonderful scenery & walking. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The scenery, the lake, great walking, Windermere town, Bowness, Kendal ....... What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Boat trip on Lake Windermere

- Mrs Valerie Umbers, Jun 2016

Thank you for taking time to complete a review of your stay at Troutbeck Retreat. Apologies for the two minor issues you encountered which we weren't able to put right during your stay and we are glad they didn't impact on your enjoyment. Troutbeck Retreat is a very popular, spacious lodge which is a great place to stay when visiting this part of the Lake District. Property Owner
Mrs Jane Doherty Jun 2016

“According to our children who have holidayed abroad and in various locations within this country - this was their "best holiday ever".”

The site was lovely and the kids enjoyed making new friends and being given the freedom to meet at the football pitch whilst we had piece of mind that they were safe. Lodge was tremendous and very clean and the site was spotless and peaceful. Will be back! What did you enjoy most about your stay? great weather great views What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Aira falls

Thank you for your kind comments, Justin. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and found everything to your satisfaction. And lovely to hear you will be coming back.

And Troutbeck Retreat is just heavenly to return to at the end of a day ? High specification throughout the lodge and with magnificent views of the surrounding fells and troutbeck valley. Delightful. An alternative pub is the Mortal Man and only a short walk from Limefitt. Good food and great views. We look forward to you returning again in the near future. Property Owner
Mr Ray Garden Mar 2016

“We had a short mid week break at Limefitt Park and we have stayed on this site many times but this is the first time we have used Troutbeck Retreat.”

We found this lodge to be very well equipped, spacious, very comfortable and situated in an excellent position. We would recommend anyone to use this site and this lodge in particular. We will definitely return. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The hospitality particularly at The Haybarn coupled with a very comfortable lodge and excellent weather.

Miss Becky Williams Jan 2016

“We stayed at Troutbeck retreat midweek on the 4th Jan, it was a lovely break after Christmas and the new year.”

We were pleasantly surprised with the amount of space in the lodge! The photos are very deceiving and I personally think they make the rooms look a lot smaller than they actually are. The lodge was spotless, everything clean and away in the correct places. We were also very surprised to see that the lodge had everything you could imagine you need! Even a garlic crusher! It was very useful to have many items available in the kitchen and cleaning items. The only problem we noticed was with the fridge in the lodge, it kept freezing our food so unfortunately the food we bought before our stay was ruined and had to be thrown. Other than that it was fantastic and we are looking forward to booking a lodge holiday again.

- Miss Becky Williams, Jan 2016
Mrs Christine Tidy Jan 2016

“W. W,.”

- Mr David Jones, Aug 2015
Mrs Eileen Cerrone Jul 2015

“Very pleased with the lodge.”

Clean, comfortable, nicely furnished. The only complaint we have is that on the morning we were due to leave we were ready to set off for long journey back home by 8.00am but the site manager in the little shop did not open until 9.00am so we were left hanging around, wasting what we felt was good journey time. Surely on a changeover day (Friday in our case) they could open up by 8.00am ready for people to leave early. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Nice lodge to come back to after being out all day. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Grasmere lovely to visit

- Mrs Eileen Cerrone, Jul 2015
Mrs Pauline Bingham Jul 2015

“Great location.”

Easy access to Windermere. Could have just stayed on the park, as there was plenty of walks on the door step. Cabin was fantastic, well equipped, clean and modern. Would definitely stay there again.

- Mr Ramon Moore, Jun 2015
Mrs Jan Grieve Jun 2015

“The lodge is lovely, very comfortable and clean.”

I loved the fact that the veranda had a gate so the dog was able to run about in safety. En suite bathroom is always an advantage. The lodge is very well equipped with everything one could need. I know Troutbeck well as I was born in the area so knew the peace and quiet would be second to none. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Ability to relax in quiet surroundings. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The scenery everwhere in the lakes is amazing.

- Mrs Jan Grieve, Jun 2015
Mrs Claire Barratt Jun 2015

“Troutbeck retreat is stunning (the pictures online do not do it full justice), it is luxurious yet still homely and welcoming.”

The lounge is spacious, with plenty of comfy seating, the kitchen is well equipped (although instructions for oven would be handy). The main bedroom has a very comfortable bed with a fantastic en-suite shower room. The twin bedroom is well spaced, with good sized single beds. The family bathroom is also superb. There are also lovely little touches such as the fleece blankets on the sofa, the dining table set elegantly for dinner and the toiletries in the bathrooms. Limefitt Park is also great; nice play park, large dog walking area, games area with football pitch and badminton nets and a pub - The Haybarn. We ate at the Haybarn and thought the food was very nice, very family orientated and relaxed with pool table, darts, giant connect 4, sky TV with sofa area. Dogs are welcome inside. The only downside is they finish serving food at dead on 8pm, which is a real shame especially on arrival day after a long journey. And that is the only other downside to the park - it is not really near anything or anywhere else within walking distance (you can walk to the Mortal Man pub down narrow windy road, being wary of cars flying down). There are however some nice walks from the park and it is very scenic, peaceful and quiet. We very much enjoyed are stay and would highly recommend Troutbeck retreat. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The lovely lodge What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Visit Keswick and Derwent Water

We will most definitely return. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The peaceful relaxing atmosphere of the site and the luxury of the Lodge What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Aira force waterfalls

“We have been to the Lake District before but have stayed in hotels.”

We thought we would have a change and try a lodge. The photos of the lodge looked amazing but being there was even better. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend away. The lodge was generally clean and in a good location with lovely views. The lodge was comfortable and lovely and warm when returning from a day out in the cold. We would definitely book to go back.

Mr Dean Seeley Jan 2015

“We decided to have a relaxing first Christmas as husband and wife in the Lake District and stumbled across The Lake District Lodge Holidays - we couldn't have picked a more perfect accommodation for us and our two Jack Russells.”

The lodge itself was gorgeous and the photos don't do it justice. It was a perfect stay and just what we wanted. The only downfall was I was suffering from terrible morning sickness so couldn't take advantage of the all the long walks. We did manage a few walks and loved every minute of it. Will definitely be returning some time in the future and we would definitely recommend to our friends and family. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The lodge itself - gorgeous What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The surroundings are so gorgeous just go and explore everything!

- Mr Dean Seeley, Jan 2015

“We both loved every second that we were in the lodge, it is beautiful, cosy and very comfy!”

!!! The walks behind the pub are lovely too, the views of the valley are gorgeous and we have took some lovely pictures! It gave us time to spend together in a beautiful place with everything you need (in the lodge) the swimming pool etc arnt on site (which i assumed they would be) so i was a little dissapointed about this but never mind :) We want to say a huge thank you to the owner of the lodge and park for a very enjoyable stay at Troutbeck Retreat!

Thank you so much for your review, Hope & Shaun. We were delighted you enjoyed your stay at Troutbeck Retreat and we will indeed pass on your comments. There has never been a swimming pool at Limefitt Park and sorry you thought there was. The leisure facilities are provided by the nearby Low Wood Club between Windermere & Ambleside. This didn't seem to impact on your enjoyment of staying at this lovely lodge and location. Property Owner
Miss Shirley Rimmer Nov 2014

“Beautiful area and views, lodge lovely and stayed before but could have been cleaner ,this time windows inside dirty, shower in en suite dirty, 1 set of patio doors broken and carpet seen better days, I know it's a dog friendly lodge but carpet looked liked something had been sprayed over it and not cleaned properly, on the plus side it's a warm, cosy lodge, well equipped and ideal if you have dogs.”
