“We had a brilliant stay at Walker's Retreat, everything was absolutely spotless, the bed very comfortable and the shower perfect after a day in the hills.”

Views from the Lodge were gorgeous. We managed 6 Wainwright's even though the weather was quite poor. The walking from the door is amazing and the Post Office cafe well worth a visit.

“Another lovely break at Walkers Retreat.”

This our 3rd visit this year and will definitely rebook in the future. The owners have really made the lodge a home from home. Very cosy and comfy. Lovely bathroom with a bath which was great after a days fell walking. The lodge has everything you need and in such a peaceful, great location. Some lovely walks from the door. Look forward to returning at some point.

“This was our first holiday not staying in a hotel and honestly this has sold us on staying in lodges!”

The whole place was wonderful, so clean and well equipped, comfy and cosy! And the views were were spectacular!! The only slight things we would say is slightly comfier mattresses (found them a little lumpy but still slept like logs) and we would have loved some bird feeders available as we love wildlife and could see all the lovely birds flying past. However, these are such minor things and we loved every moment and hope to come back again! Ideal location, beautiful views, everything we could need, wonderful shower and well equipped kitchen, easy access and all around wonderful!!

“Just returned from another stay at Walkers Retreat.”

Had a lovely time. The lodge was comfortable, clean and like home from home. Lovely and quiet as situated at the back of the park. Great walks from the door. We did have an abrupt lodge owner bang on the door advising we were half parked in their space. On our 1st visit to Walkers Retreat we were advised the 2 parking places outside belonged to Walkers Retreat so therefore I parked straddling both spaces. Which the owner of the lodge to the right of Walkers Retreat, when looking up at WR from the bottom the parking spaces, advised that one space was theirs and she was quite rude. We were also advised that the space below the other lodge was their only parking space. It might be an idea to put a small sign post with the number of the lodge on, at the end of the parking area to advise which space belongs to which lodge. Apart from that, we had another lovely stay and will definitely book again. Look forward to returning sometime.

“Just returned from a short break at Walkers Retreat, Limefitt Park.”

Absolutely loved it. The lodge was lovely and clean. Very comfortable and had everything you need. The information folders were helpful too. The lodge is situated at the back of the park, very peaceful and quiet. Had such a relaxing time. Beautiful area, lots of walks from the lodge. Highly recommend and will definitely be returning to Walkers Retreat at some point. Thank you!

“What a beautiful Lodge, a home from home.”

You should be proud of yourselves for providing one of the best lodges that we have stayed in. Everything that was needed was there and the views were to die for. None of us wanted to come home. I don't know when, but we will be back. Thank you so much for allowing us to share your Lodge.

Take note of the information regarding the steps to the lodge, they are VERY steep and definitely not suitable for anybody with mobility issues.

“My family and I had a great time using the Walkers Retreat as our base.”

I have a 4 and 2 year old who absolutely loved the lodge and felt completely at home. The only thing we missed was a washing machine but it wasn't the end of the world! We are looking forward to coming back and staying at this property again x

“Lodge was spotless and facilities were excellent.”

No WiFi but I’m glad. I didn’t go there to look at my phone. Area beautiful and lodge situated in an awesome spot.

- John, October 2022

Thank you for you kind feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Walker's Retreat. We were sorry to hear that you were unable to access the WIFI. The WIFI is complimentary, provided by the park. We hope to welcome you back again. Property Owner
Kristian October 2022

“We stayed at this lodge as a family of 5, two adults and 3 young children.”

The lodge is located in a nice quiet location with lovely views over the valley. The lodge has all the facilities you need for a comfortable stay. The decking area is a good size and I can imagine would be used frequently during the warmer weather. Be careful during wet weather as it becomes very slippy. The details stated the lodge had room for a travel cot. Only way we squeezed the cot in was pushing the twin beds together which wasn't ideal. The bathroom had a damp smell which wasn't pleasant.

- Kristian, October 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you had a comfortable stay. We will pass on your comments regarding the decking on to our Maintenance team to look into, and will ask them to look into the damp smell. We hope to welcome you back to the Lake District again. Property Owner
Graham August 2022

“An excellent lodge, decor and facilities first rate.”

Located in a quiet area of the park with views across to the fells. Would highly recommend.

- Graham, August 2022

Thank you for your kind feedback. We are glad to hear that you had a lovely stay at Walker's Retreat. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Property Owner
Karl August 2022

“My family loved the lodge.”

It was the perfect base for our stay in the Lake District. It’s location in the park also suited us down to the ground - at the top, backing onto the wood, with a great view from the decking area. It was clean, tidy, and comfortable and we’d definitely book to stay here again in the future. One suggestion we have would be for the lodge have some kind of welcome booklet containing instructions for the appliances, local recommendations, suggested walks and the like. Whilst the cooking appliances by and large were pretty straightforward to use, we had issues with the DVD player. The TVs were fine, only one evening, we wanted to watch a dvd and for some reason we couldn’t get a picture from the player to the screen. We were probably missing something straightforward, but some instructions wouldn’t have gone amiss as there’s always some idiosyncrasies no matter how au fait one might be with such equipment. A couple of nice touches might be a welcome pint of milk, teabags and coffee for that cuppa one might need when you’ve first arrived. Also some small “welcome” bars of soap in the bathrooms. Finally a guest book would also be a nice touch. These have been things that we have had, when staying at other Lake District Lodge Holidays lodges in the past. Please understand that these are just minor suggestions and not criticisms!! As I say, we really enjoyed our stay and would gladly recommend this lodge.

- Karl, August 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Walker’s Retreat, and that you found the lodge clean and comfortable. The lodge binders were removed during Covid but are being put back in soon. We will ask our Maintenance team to have a look into the issue with the DVD player. We will pass on your recommendations to the owners regarding the guest book and welcome hamper. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Property Owner
Amy October 2021

“The property was in a lovely location on Limefitt Park.”

It had all the basic amenities for our stay. We have stayed in lots of lodges in Limefitt Park in the past so have lots to compare. Walkers Retreat is the most basic of all the lodges we have stayed in - aside from 2 X-box games there was no other form of entertainment: a couple of family board games or jigsaws would be a nice addition. Also, there was a hanky & discarded tissue down the side of the bed in the main bedroom on arrival. We did have a lovely stay and I’m glad I was over prepared by bringing little extras like oil, condiments, extra toilet rolls and games & toys for the children. Other lodges have had these extras and these little touches have made our stay more enjoyable in the past. One other ‘extra’ things we’ve experienced in other lodges have been leaflets of things to do in the area and a guestbook.

- Amy, October 2021

Thank you for your feedback, we are glad you enjoyed the location of the lodge. We requested that the owners took small items out of the lodges due to Covid but are starting to put them back. We have also passed the cleaning issue to the cleaning manager. We apologise for any inconvenience these issues may have caused you. We look forwards to welcoming you back. Property Owner
Ruth October 2021

“The actual lodge was great only problem beds were very uncomfortable had a dreadful back pain and my partner otherwise could not fault it.”

- Ruth, October 2021

- Almaz, August 2021
Amity August 2021

“The accommodation was as advertised and there were no unwelcome surprises.”

The view at Walker's Retreat is spectacular and the convenience of the location and on-site facilities was excellent. As a family of 4 on our summer holiday, it was perfect. I would highly recommend Walker's Retreat to others.

- Amity, August 2021
Patrick August 2021

“Nice and relaxing stay in a modern lodge, We have visited limefitt park in the past and we like the peacefulness after having a day out in the busy Lake District .”

We look forward to visiting again in the future.

- Patrick, August 2021

Liz April 2021

“The lodge was great.”

Very comfy and clean with everything we needed for a great stay. Views were stunning, location brilliant. Facilities great. Staff friendly. Only one issue: the fridge wasn’t working properly as it froze everything in it from milk to cucumbers! We turned the setting down to the lowest possible but everything still came out like ice lollies!

- Liz, April 2021

Thank you for your feedback and we are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay. We are sorry to hear that you had a problem with the fridge/freezer. Please accept our apologies and thank you for bringing this to our attention. We can confirm we are working on getting this issue resolved to ensure it does not happen again. We hope to welcome you back so you can enjoy our lodge to its fullest. Property Owner
Mr John Steed Oct 2020

“Loved the lodge well situated in the park and amazing views,will book again.”

Lodge spotlessly clean and well mentained. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Just the peace and quiet What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Going out on the lake .

- Mr John Steed, Oct 2020
Mr Brian Leigh Oct 2020

“We have stayed on this site many times over the years in different areas off the site but this has to be one off the best locations for a lodge looking straight across the valley and up to wansfell pike We love walking but what a joy to come back to this lodge and views it provides .”

It What did you enjoy most about your stay? Views and peaceful location What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Great walking from lodge

- Mr Brian Leigh, Oct 2020
Mrs Joanne Thompson Aug 2020

“Lovely cabin great views from the kitchen and amazing balcony area.”

The children loved the park and stream. The location is great as its quiet and out of the way but in a short matter of time you can get to most places, good walks nearby. Beautrix Potter museum was a hit with the kids (4 and 9) on a wet day and I was impressed with their covid measures. Beds were comfortable,kitchen very well stocked. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Wildlife What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Ambleside canoing experience

- Mrs Joanne Thompson, Aug 2020
Mrs Carole Stacey Aug 2020

“This is the 3rd time we have stayed at Walker's Retreat.”

It's a beautiful well kept lodge in a very good position on the site, it has good views and the decking is a sun trap (when it's out). It's close to the Hay Barn Inn (5 mins through the woods at the rear). The Hay Barn was open when we were here and was following all the Covid 19 rules. It's a great location for exploring the fells. You can access the Ill Bell ridge from here and go on to High Street. There is also wildlife to be seen if you're lucky. We saw deer and badgers in the woods behind the lodge. It's also a great location for exploring the Lakes. Windermere is not far away. What did you enjoy most about your stay? We enjoy the fell walking but the wildlife was a highlight too. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? I would recommend walking up to High Street over Yoke and Ill Bell and then back down through the Troutbeck valley. You can do this straight from the lodge, the path is behind the Haybarn Inn.

- Mrs Carole Stacey, Aug 2020
Miss Lois Hogg Jul 2020

“Myself and my partner recently stayed in walkers retreat for 4 nights, and it was absolutely wonderful and provided everything you could possibly need.”

The condition of the lodge was impeccable and the location faultless, especially the resident rabbits and squirrels we were greeted by every morning, we even caught a glimpse of the deer! Absolutely could not recommend enough and we What did you enjoy most about your stay? Everything! What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Boat trip on Windermere

- Miss Lois Hogg, Jul 2020
Mrs Carole Stacey Mar 2020

“Last time we stayed here I gave it a deserved 5 star review.”

Even though we have marked it down slightly this time it is still really a 5 star lodge and I would certainly stay here again and thoroughly recommend it. The reason we have marked it down slightly this time is because we had a few problems. The first problem we had was that we could not get the gas cooker hobs to light. This was on a Sunday. We reported this but were told they couldn't come out on a Sunday and to use a match to light the hobs. This didn't work. We then left the day. When we returned we found the heating wasn't working. We did not report this until the Monday morning when we were leaving. In hindsight we should have done so on Sunday, the reason we didn't was because when we had reported the Hob we had been told they couldn't come out on Sunday. We therefore thought the same would apply to the heating. Finally when we got up on Monday morning we found there was no hot water so could not have a shower. I have since been told they checked the Hob after we left and it was working perfectly. So it's a mystery why it wouldn't work on Sunday or Monday morning. (We had used it on Saturday). They also told us the heating needed a simple reset and if we had told them they would have fixed it. I acknowledge that we should have reported it on Sunday but I have explained why we didn't. In conclusion I would still recommend this lodge. I am sure these problems will be ironed out for us, if we stayed there again, and for any future guests. (Maybe a note regarding the reset of the heating & hot water for guests) What did you enjoy most about your stay? It's a really comfortable lodge in a great location for sightseeing or walking. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? We are walkers so there are many fells out there. The Lake District is a beautiful place.

- Mrs Carole Stacey, Mar 2020

Thank you for your review and raising a few things with us, Carole. Having checked the issues you kindly raised and no fault found (typical!), we can only apologise. Having said that we will keep a close eye on the hob, and your suggestion for instructions to reset the boiler are noted ? thank you. We will certainly do all we can to avoid something similar happening in future. Despite these issues we are delighted you would recommend the lodge and would return, and thank you for your ratings! We look forward to welcoming you for another stay soon. Property Owner
Mr Daniel Wilson Mar 2020

“Our second visit to this cabin.”

Lovely and clean. Location was great. Will be coming back. Booking was easy and brilliant price. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Clean cabin and relaxing location What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Our 2 toddlers loved the Peter rabbit attraction.

Mrs Louisa Sibcy Oct 2019

“The cabin was lovely inside and beautifully located for the most amazing view!”

Would definitely stay again. Just one thing to mention was on our last day there was no hot water or heating, but other than that a great stay. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The location and views What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? A walk up Nanny Lane was challenging but amazing views

- Mrs Louisa Sibcy, Oct 2019

Thank you for your review and ratings, Louisa. We are delighted you had a lovely stay at Walker?s Retreat. With that said, we are sorry you had a problem with the heating and hot water. Had you let us know at the time, this would have been quickly resolved for you. We can only assume that as the boiler is checked every changeover day and nothing was brought to our attention, it was a simple adjustment/resetting. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Despite this we are delighted to hear you enjoyed the lodge and the location - thank you for letting us know. Property Owner
Mr Chris Whur Sep 2019

“We unfortunately had a lot of rain when we stayed so we were not able to take advantage of the decking which had incredible views.”

However, as the lodge was very comfortable we had a very restful break and it was not a hardship to end our days early go back and curl up with a book. Watching the fells opposite appear and disappear at regular intervals. It was very private and we would go back again but hope to be able to relax on the deck next time. What did you enjoy most about your stay? views when they appeared. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Walk around Tarn Hows easy and pretty even in drizzle

Mrs Elyssa Thompson Aug 2019

Mrs Carole Stacey Jul 2019

“We were really impressed with Walkers Retreat lodge.”

It is a well set out lodge on a slight hill so it overlooks all the other lodges giving clear views of the hills. It is not overlooked. Behind it there is a wooded area. There is ample space to park a car next to the lodge. In fact although it states one car per lodge the parking bay at Walkers Retreat would accommodate two cars. The lounge area is spacious, both bedrooms are more compact but are adequate with plenty of storage space. There is one shower room with toilet that has two doors, one into the master bedroom creating an ensuite effect and one into the hall. There is also a separate toilet. The best part of the lodge though is the decking area. It wraps around the front and one side with access through the front door or patio doors from the lounge and dining area. We were lucky to have good weather when we were there and the decking area was a pleasant place to sit during the evenings facing the sun. The kitchen was well kept and clean. There is a pub, The Haybarn Inn, about 2 minutes away via a small path through the woods at the back of the lodge. The food there is passable, it has a patio area and a beer garden. The location of the park and lodge is very good. We stayed for a weekend on a walking trip but if you stayed longer it is a good base to explore the Lakes. The customer service was also excellent. The instructions to access the lodge were clear and precise and the booking experience as a whole was excellent .The receptionist at Limefitt Holiday Park was also very helpful. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Sitting outside on the decking area in the evening. Peaceful and relaxing. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? We stayed here because we had planned walking up Scafell Pike. We did this from Great Langdale. Our route started at the Old Dungeon Ghyll. The route took us over The Band, Bow Fell, Esk Pike passed Great End and over Broad Crag to Scafell Pike. We decended via the path passed Tongue Head, Angle Tarn and Mickleden. This was a long walk, 8 hours. However I if you don't want to to do the whole walk I would recommend going as far as Bowfell and Esk Pike. A really nice walk and fantastic views. It takes about 20 minutes to drive to the Old Dungeon Ghyll from Walkers Retreat.

- Mrs Carole Stacey, Jul 2019
Mr David Thomas Jul 2019

“Perfect venue with fantastic views.”

Will definitely stay again. Food in the site restaurant not really exciting though. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Mountain views What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Just sit on the balcony and enjoy the view

Mr Matthew Page Jul 2019

“A fantastic, cosy lodge for a first family holiday.”

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at walkers retreat lodge.”

What did you enjoy most about your stay? Lovely views of the lake district What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Beatrix Potter experience

Mr Stewart Brown Aug 2018

“Walkers Retreat Lodge is a modern, spacious, well appointed lodge in an excellent raised position on the park, not overlooked by any other lodges, (except the adjacent lodge on the same elevation, but there is a dense screen of vegetation between).”

The interior was modern and clean, with board-games, TV, DVD, (and films to watch) and an Xbox. The kitchen had everything you could need when staying away from home. The spacious fully enclosed decking area to the front and side of the lodge is a boon to families with young children. We were able to enjoy many evening meals on the outside table, safe in the knowledge that the children, (aged 1 & 2), were perfectly safe and unable to run off. What did you enjoy most about your stay? We loved the calmness and serenity of the park, sitting on the deck in the sunshine, with no traffic noise, enjoying the uninterrupted views across the valley. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The children particularly enjoyed our visit to the South Lakes Safari Park in Dalton on Furness.
