“The property was absolutely gorgeous.”

Very comfortable and of a high standard. The bed in the main bedroom was very comfortable and the lodge had everything we could need or want. I would definitely recommend and would love to stay here again. Thank you to the owners for providing the lodge for our stay. We had a lovely family break thanks to them.

“Amazingly comfortable beds.”

Had to hide the air fresheners, too much for us but this is just personal preference. A comfortable stay with great views, we would stay again.

Jonathan July 2024

“Our 2nd stay at Valley View (we visited in April).”

It is perfect and we were delighted with the upgrade to fridge, bathroom sinks and outdoor furniture! Valley view is so welcoming and cosy. Obviously a well loved and looked after property. We will most definitely be back...again!

“We have been at this same lodge for 3 years in a row so, we do love the lodge but, we feel it can be really outstanding if you do the following.”

One of the small gas hobs is not working and needs looking at. The TV is old and needs updating and you should have smart TV with Netflix and Amazon already logged in. The outside needs a clean as in the chairs, seating area etc... just needs a good power wash each month or each week. The fridge freezer is fine but, needs a good American double fridge freezer to allow for more space. Please switch back on the hot tub. It's a great feature but, unused. The above is my "wish list" when I visit next year again but, overall as mentioned above, we really do like this lodge.

- Iqbal, June 2024

Andrew April 2024

“We celebrated my son in law's 60th birthday in Valley View Lodge.”

The lodge is a lovely, comfortable and tastefully decorated place. It was a perfect choice. It was very clean when we arrived, and was full of lovely soft furnishings. There is an abundance of everything from glasses to cutlery and cooking utensils. A great choice and a big thank you to the owners.

- Andrew, April 2024

Danielle December 2023

“My family and I had a wonderful stay at Valley view lodge over Christmas.”

The lodge was so comfortable and well equipped, it was a pleasure to stay there. This was by far the best lodge that we have stayed at on Limefitt park so far and we are very grateful to the lovely owners for the thought and time that they put into making the lodge such a warm and inviting place to stay. We would love to return again soon

- Danielle, December 2023

“My wife and I have basically been in shielding since the start of covid because I am a kidney transplant reipient.”

We were very anxious that any accomodation we book would be clean and a lovely stress free place to stay. The lodge was even better than the pictures and my wife summed it up when she said "WOW" several times upon entering. My wife is quite discerning with holiday accomodation so this is high praise indeed! It was clear that the owners take a lot of pride in this beautiful lodge. Even small things like Netflix being available on TV made it feel like home from home, but with fantastic scenery everywhere. We had a lovely stress free week with temps in the mid 20's We will definitely return and would definitely recommend to others.

- Michael, September 2023
Rafeeq August 2023

“Fantastic lodge with amenities for all ages, lots of activities, and entertainment.”

Owners have put a lot of thought into the decor and atmosphere. Only thing that we missed was a washing machine.

- Rafeeq, August 2023
Meera August 2023

“This lodge was amazing and I am so glad I booked the Valley lodge.”

It was cozy, spacious, comfortable, homey, and relaxing with modern decor. The veranda was spacious with amazing views. If we go back to the Lake District, this would be the only lodge we would book. Beds are comfortable, shower is amazing with no problems with hot water. Highly recommend this lodge. Credit to the owners.

Iqbal June 2023

“Valley View Lodge - Great Lodge but, needs Improving Limefitt Park is quiet, relaxed and has a nice atmosphere.”

. There are walks you can go onto directly from the park and the views of mountain from the park are breath taking. We stayed at Valley View Lodge on the park which we have done for the last 2 years. It is clean inside and generally a good lodge. Constructively, I would say the fridge/freezer needs replacing with perhaps an American fridge freezer with more space as current ones are not working as efficiently and limited for space. It also, needs a new modern smart TV as current one again looks old, slow and needs replacing. Apart from that inside of lodge is lovely. The bedrooms/toilets are fine and general facilities great. The outside seating areas needs a good clean and good lick of paint. We found it a bit messy in all honesty this time. Not swept properly or cleaned properly with bird poo on the chairs etc... Plus, it would be an even better lodge if the jacuzzi was available for guests as it is only reserved for private use because of past trouble but, I would say re-open again as the majority are responsible customers, who would respect this area and value the jacuzzi. Overall, a good experience but, needs an improvement now.

“We have stayed in many lodges on limefitt and this was the best lodge we have stayed in”

- David, May 2023
Joanne December 2022

“I think signs regarding the wood trim around the car park space should have a slippery when wet sign as twice I slipped and one resulted in me completing falling over.”

The decking area too. The lodge itself was beautiful and would definitely stay there again.

Eleanor July 2022

“My family and I had a fantastic stay at View Valley lodge on Limefitt Park.”

The lodge was beautiful and we will definitely stay here again. Great location for us to explore the area. We had a wonderful time!

- Eleanor, July 2022
Lyndsey April 2022

“Valley View is a beautiful, spacious lodge and we really enjoyed our stay there.”

Everything was spotlessly clean and the kitchen was well equipped. If we could offer some constructive feedback, it would be to ask for some blackout blinds or curtains in the bedrooms as the current ones don't block the light so we were woken up with sunrise every day. Apart from that we we were very happy with our stay and would definitely recommend it. Thank you!

- Lyndsey, April 2022
Duncan December 2021

“This lodge is brilliant, even nicer that the photos, thank you”

Andrew November 2021

“Would like to thank the owners for allowing us to rent their beautiful property.”

By far the best lodge we’ve ever been in, including lodges on Limefitt Park. Absolutely loved it. We can assure the owners we treated it with the upmost respect. Thank you.

- Andrew, November 2021
Alison September 2021

“The lodge was lovely and in beautiful surroundings.”

It had everything you would need. The site it is on is very clean and well kept. The lodge could do with some information about the site ie pub opening times and the times they serve meals and shop opening times. The pub on site was really nice and did good food.

- Alison, September 2021
Richard September 2021

“The location, the park, and the peacefulness.”

We have already rebooted for next year.

Lucy July 2021

“The lodge was really clean and comfortable and furnished to a good standard.”

Lots of extra touches- a fan to cool the rooms at it was really hot when we stayed, Netflix available, a wide range of cooking utensils, pots and pans. Everything had been thought of to make the lodge a ‘home away from home’. Showers were powerful and bathrooms were a good size. The twin room was small for two adults but not too much of a problem for us as most of our trip was spent out and about. The site itself felt really peaceful and secluded even though it was the summer holidays. We had a meal on the site which was good- the outdoor beer garden was a real sun trap with great views. It’s close to Windermere and Ambleside and a perfect base for a weekend of exploring. In our two and a half days we managed a trip to Hill Top house which is about 30 minutes drive away, rowing on Lake Windermere, exploring Ambleside and Bowness on Windermere and a long walk around Thirlmere. So much more we want to do and we would definitely recommend Valley View Lodge at Limefitt as a great place to stay!

- Lucy, July 2021
Brenda July 2021

“Booked this same lodge last year in august.”

And again this year,love the location and is really a home from home.Everything is clean and tidy, Shame that the hot tub cannot be used,as probably had someone spoil it for everyone else. The price has jumped considerably for next year so have not booked which is a real shame.

- Brenda, July 2021
Peter July 2021

“Lovely lodge in peaceful surroundings.”

The lodge is kept to a high standard and would highly recommend.

Carole May 2021

“Valley View is a nice lodge, if a little cluttered.”

There didn’t seem to be as much space to move around in the living area as we have had in other lodges at Limefitt. This maybe due to the odd angle of the breakfast bar. It’s also not in as good a position as the other lodges. You feel that you need to have the blinds drawn most of the time as it isn’t too private. My other concern was that it had no DVD player in the living room despite being advertised as having one there. We clarified it with the booking agent when we booked and she confirmed it was advertised as such. We knew the chance of having bad weather over the weekend was high so we had bought DVD’s for the evenings. Sadly the only DVD player was a Playstation in one of the bedrooms. This had a notice on it stating ‘not to be moved’ but there are no available sockets in the living area to plug it in if you did move it. We rang the helpline to ask about the DVD and was told someone would get back to us, we also got a confirming email stating this. Unfortunately no one contacted us so we called the helpline again and was told the DVD player was broken, the person on the helpline also said that judging by the photos it was never in the living area. the person then told us to move the Playstation. We explained there were no available sockets. Just after this call the advert was changed and no longer states that there is a DVD player in the living area. The DVD player may seem like a trivial issue but it was one of the reasons we picked Valley View. We were disappointed with that and the response from the helpline. We were also disappointed that we weren’t told before hand, that it was broken, if that was the case, and the fact the advert was amended after we queried it.

- Carole, May 2021

Thank you for your feedback, we have noted your concerns and have passed these over to the lodge owners to look into. We can tell you that the guests prior to your stay reported an issue with the DVD player and was subsequently removed from the lodge to be fixed. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused. Noting your further comments, we have taken this up with the customer service team. It is most unusual to receive such comments and we would like to think a one off. That said, we are sorry. Valley View is great place to stay and we do hope you will return for another stay soon.

Mrs Sara Boston Jan 2021

“We were booked for 4 nights over New Year but within an hour of arriving Boris scuppered that and we only had one night before we had to return home.”

However, that one night was enough to confirm that this is a fantastic lodge - clean, well furnished and in a fantastic location, with the bonus of Netflix! There were a couple of minor points (bathroom door hook hanging off) but overall a lovely, well cared for property that we would happily return to, preferably next time for more than just one night (please Boris) What did you enjoy most about your stay? Cost and comfortable What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Walk round to Ambleside, back over Wansfel and then eat at the Mortal Man

- Mrs Sara Boston, Jan 2021

Thank you for the review and kind comments, Sara. Despite only being able to stay for one night we are so pleased you found it to be a fantastic lodge. The owners take great care of their lodge and we are sure that as soon as they are permitted to travel they will address any issues. Thank you for letting us know and we look forward to you returning in the very near future. Property Owner
Mr Denis Mawn Sep 2020

“Not clean enough only top show and considering extra time said required for Covid, it did not meet standards even without Covid.”

It could be great if it had a deep clean, freshened up and maintained better- blinds all need serious attention , guttering needs repairing as rain pouring, decking needs a very deep clean scrub and sanatising ! Cleaners need supervising as it appears to be only top show cleaned. Very dissapointed considering top prices charged Lake District Lodge boking agents informed.too many points to mention here. What did you enjoy most about your stay? coming homemfrom the lodge BUT the staff at LIMFEFITT PARK were very good and Haybarn staff in particular. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? visit western lakes area

- Mr Denis Mawn, Sep 2020

The owners were disappointed that you were not satisfied with a number of matters that presumably you became aware of when you first took possession of the lodge. Accordingly neither we nor the owners had an opportunity to inspect the lodge and address your concerns during your stay. There is not a lot either we nor the owners can do to resolve any issues once you have left the lodge. Valley View is a firm favourite with lodge guests and we and the owners are surprised you left it until you had completed your weeks stay and had left the lodge before you voiced your complaints. Perhaps when you stay with us again you will ensure that in the unlikely event of any issues causing you concern you let us know without delay so that we can ensure something is done about them. With the best will in the world we are not able to solve problems of which we are not aware. Thank you for your review, Denis and we are sorry that you were disappointed with your stay.

“I have been on many holidays abroad,but this lodge and it What did you enjoy most about your stay?”

The weather and being able to chill out,seeing how beautiful the Lake District is What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? You have to try the post office tea room in to troutbeck,the staff there are lovely.

Mrs Gillian Joyce Jan 2020

“The lodge is very clean warm and comfortable, with all the kitchen appliances you would need.”

We stayed over Christmas, however, and found the half size fridge too small to accommodate all of the food, never mind the fizz! We had to keep our drinks outside on the veranda and then put it in the freezer just before drinking it, which wasn What did you enjoy most about your stay? Being altogether with family over Christmas

- Mrs Gillian Joyce, Jan 2020
Mrs Jennifer Moulding Sep 2019

“We very much enjoyed staying at Valley view.”

The lodge had a lovely homely atmosphere and we were properly able to relax and enjoy the facilities on offer. The pub was great too and the park was in an excellent location for visiting attractions. What did you enjoy most about your stay?

- Mrs Jennifer Moulding, Sep 2019
Mrs June Cartmell Sep 2019

“We all thought the lodge was beautiful and very clean.”

However we wouldn't stay at that site again because there were too many dogs and also it wasn't very private. The onsite pub and bar was also full of dogs. It's a shame because the owners of our lodge obviously took time to make sure the lodge was very clean and comfortable for their guests. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The fresh air. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? We took the children to see Beatrix Potter

- Mrs June Cartmell, Sep 2019

Thank you for your review June, we are pleased to hear you found Valley View to be ideal for you and beautiful inside, which indeed it is! We are sorry to hear the park was not to your liking, as we do not own and manage the parks ourselves we do not have any control over the daily running operations. We will let the park management know of your comments and we have taken on board your further comments and will look into these. We do hope to welcome you back in the future and please do not hesitate to call our office where we are more than happy to help locate the perfect lodge and park for you. Property Owner

Mr Graham Hutton Jan 2019

“We had a very enjoyable Christmas at Valley View - with all the home comforts we needed!”

The Christmas tree and other decorations provided helped make it very festive! We were extremely comfortable and were able to relax and enjoy a very Happy Christmas away from the stress and strain of everyday life, and no extended family to spoil it! Only the weather put a dampener on things a bit, but being in the Lake District, we did expect rain, but it was really just misty. Nonetheless when the sky was clear, the landscape was spectacular. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The home comforts of the Lodge. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The walk from Skelwith Bridge to Elterwater and a very decent pint at the Britannia Inn

- Mr Graham Hutton, Jan 2019

Thank you for the review and perfect ratings, Graham. We are so pleased to hear you had a very enjoyable Christmas at Valley View. This is a beautiful three-bedroom holiday lodge located on Limefitt Park, with fantastic scenery and magnificent views. A wonderful place to stay at any time of the year, whatever the weather! We are delighted that the lodge was to your satisfaction and you were able to relax and enjoy your stay. We look forward to welcoming you for another in the near future. Property Owner
Ms Leanne Swinton Nov 2018

“We are a family of 3 who stayed at the Valley View Lodge from 17/10 to 21/10/18 over the October Break.”

We only booked this the night before travel and have to say everything regarding the booking was quick, clear, easy & great price too. Louise from Lake District Lodge holidays was very helpful and prompt with her reply to my queries, if only everything was this easy! We will defo be using your company again in the future and will be recommending your company. We felt at home as soon as we arrived. The lodge is immaculate with lots of little touches to make your stay more comfortable, TV in 2 bedrooms with DVD players and selection of DVDs, PlayStation in guest bedroom which we only discovered on last day, dishwasher in kitchen, iron & iron board etc and every utensil you would ever need in the kitchen for cooking etc. You can tell the Valley View lodge has been well looked after, it is beautifully decorated and everything is coordinated perfectly in all the rooms plus it is only 2 mins walk from the little pub in the park called the Haybarn Inn, a great wee friendly cosy pub where you can grab a bite to eat, have a few drinks, watch the footy and get cosy by the fire and its very reasonable too! A bit disappointed there was a hot tub and we weren't able to use it due to past guests inconsideration, such a shame when other people spoil it for everyone else but hopefully when we come back in the future the rules may have changed :) Thank you so much for a great stay, we will 10000% be back soon! What did you enjoy most about your stay? Clean & comfortable lodge, great location and very peaceful, What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? go on one of the boats at Windermere, we loved it!

“Excellent property in a great location.”

We enjoyed our second stay in this property. The only downside is that the owners have now stopped guests using the hottub. No doubt had problems with some guests, but we were disappointed. We were informed prior to our visit and chose to still come. Will most likely go elsewhere next year. 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? Close to the lakes.

Miss Tania Masaraure Jan 2018

“We really enjoyed our stay at Valley View over Christmas 2017.”

The lodge is very well equipped, comfortable, in a great location and clean on the inside. The lodge was also decorated tastefully for Christmas which was a nice touch . There were 5 of us staying in the lodge and we felt very comfortable and at home. We are not regulars to the lake district, so we found the information provided by the host, on places to visit and suggested walks, very useful. the lodge is in a very good location too, as we managed to visit Ambleside and Windermere easily . An excellent choice for a family getaway What did you enjoy most about your stay? Very comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Coffin walk from Grassmere to Rydal, then walk round Rydal water and Grassmere

Mr Darren Bradwell Sep 2017

“We enjoyed our stay but there was a minor issue with the lodge (one of the cupboard boards was hanging off) and we felt the signs up near the hot tub threatening to deactivate it for the remainder of our stay if we weren't out by 9.”

50pm made us worry about time and not relax as much as we would have liked to. I understand the reasons this has been put in place but this has put us off wanting to book again. Still, the lodge is in a great location, very comfortable and clean. Nice lay out and very well equipped kitchen. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Walks around the Troutbeck area What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Walk to the Queens Head. Lovely pub.

- Mr Darren Bradwell, Sep 2017

Thank you for your review Darren and we were glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at Valley View. The owners have felt the need to put up a strong notice in the hope that guests understand the rules for using the hot tub there (including a park rule that no hot tubs can be used after 10pm). Regrettably a number of guests have not followed these which has resulted in complaints from lodge owners nearby. If there are any more then the hot tub may need to be removed spoiling the enjoyment of many. We apologise if you felt threatened by this notice. The cupboard door had simply worked loose and this has been fixed. Valley View is a very popular lodge which is a great place for people to relax when visiting the area. Property Owner
Mrs Jillian Smith Sep 2017

- Mr Jamie Jones, Sep 2017

Thank you for your very brief review. All our guests can use Choices Health Club which is a few minutes away from Limefitt Park. This is detailed on our website, your arrival information (sent before your stay) and within the lodge itself so we are surprised you did not know about them. We were pleased you had a peasant stay at Valley View. It is a very popular, spacious lodge with a lovely outside hot tub to relax in after a day out exploring the area. Property Owner

Mr Andrew Griffin Jul 2017

“Couldn't fault the lodge it was wonderful.”

Shame you couldn't use the hot tub after 9:30pm. Reception staff didn't seem to know if the lodges were ready or not, nor did the site warden we just had to check it ourselves, bit of communication breakdown. Little disappointed with the variety of meals up at the Haybarn, if staff didn't turn it was one menu if they do it was the full menu. We stayed for three nights over the weekend and we had the no staff menu all weekend!!! I tried everything on the menu. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The Lodge and Windermere What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Canoeing

A beautifully presented lodge for a very comfortable and relaxing break in the Lakes - and in a brilliant location with stunning views of the surrounding fells, yet only a short drive to the local towns and many beauty spots. We look forward to welcoming you again in the near future. Property Owner

“We stayed at the valley view lodge for 4 nights, the lodge was very well equipped and a great size for 4 of us.”

The hot tub was a welcome addition especially after a long day of walking. Would definitely recommend!! What did you enjoy most about your stay? The hot tub. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Blencathra

Miss Michelle Smith Apr 2017

“Such a lovely comfortable and homely lodge.”

With amazing views. Hot tub a bonus after along day. Fantastic walks from the park itself. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The lovely walks and scenery What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Aira force

Mr Neil Martin Jan 2017

“Lodge itself was lovely.”

Site feels very cramped with so many lodges in such a small area. It was not obvious if recycling had yet reached Limefitt. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The hottub What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Walk to Ambleside via Wansfell

- Mr Neil Martin, Jan 2017

Thank you for your comments. We were pleased to hear you were happy with the accommodation, Valley View is indeed a lovely lodge. Designed to a luxury standard and with a private hot tub, after a walk to Ambleside over Wansfell it is a welcome treat on return! Limefitt Park is small and although there are neighbouring lodges they all benefit from beautiful views and are surrounded by amazing scenery ? Valley View backs on to Woodland for extra privacy. There are recycling facilities in place although we will pass on your comments to the Park Management for further consideration of promoting more recycling. We assume from your high ratings that you had an enjoyable stay and we would be delighted for you to return in the near future. Property Owner
Mrs Claire Huggins Jan 2017

“Our family stayed at this lodge over the festive break and had such an amazing time.”

The lodge itself is very clean and modern but also very cozy and homely with everything you need. The hot tub was a luxury and we made full use of it whilst enjoying the fabulous views that the lodge has. Limefitt is our most favorite of sites being very quiet and scenic with very friendly staff at both reception and the bar. Additionally the booking company, Lake District Lodge Holidays, were found to be very efficient and helpful as always. 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? Lodge with a hot tub

- Mrs Claire Huggins, Jan 2017
Miss Kirsty Agar Dec 2016

“We had a great stay in valley view, lodge was lovely and modern and very clean and cosy.”

Lovely quiet location not far from windermere. The hot tub was fabulous, especially on the cold nights. Beautiful unspoilt surroundings and some great local walks to do. Overall we had a lovely time and would highly recommend!! What did you enjoy most about your stay? Most definatly the hot tub. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? We walked up wansfell pike which was lovely and not too tiring! Beautiful views over windermere and ambleside once your reached the summit

- Miss Kirsty Agar, Dec 2016
Mr Gary Blair Oct 2016

“A very well appointed lodge with the benefit of a private hot tub.”

Situated on a quiet site tucked away in a beautiful valley, very close to Windermere. A great base to explore the lakes whether by rosd or on foot. Would certainly stay there again. Lake District Lodge Holidays provided excellent customer service. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The Hot tub at the end of the day, every day! What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Take the boat from Bowness to Lakeside and visit the Motor Museum

- Mr Gary Blair, Oct 2016

Thank you for the great review and awarding top marks on all aspects of your stay, Gary. We were pleased to hear you enjoyed staying at Valley View and very kind of you to leave such positive comments.

Mr Arun Mathew Aug 2016

“We were a party of 5, stayed at the lodge for three days and absolutely loved it.”

The lodge is located by great landscape with breath taking views, although it was pouring down! Apparently monsoon like rain is quite normal there! It is well maintained, kept very clean. It is also reasonably close to Windermere lake where you have the town centre. The pony trekking which is within the park is fun to do. We were travelling from South of the country on a Friday night after work, with all the traffic got there past mid night. Although I have been told where the lodge keys were kept, vehicle access gate was shut (it can only be operated using a key fob, which can only be obtained during the day) therefore we couldnt get our car close to the lodge to unload our luggage. Therefore we had to park outside and carry our luggage, the rain definitely didnt help! Inspite of that we had a wonderful stay and can definitely see myself back there again. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Well maintained and clean place What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Pony trek

- Mr Arun Mathew, Aug 2016
Mrs Susan Kewin Aug 2016

“We all had a lovely relaxing time, the lodge had everything we needed, was clean and welcoming.”

The hot tub was a bonus and the views were stunning. Will definitely stay in the lodge again, fantastic memories. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Relaxing in the hot tub What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Grisedale forest and go ape

Mrs Stephanie Watterson Aug 2016

“Nice lodge, a bit scruffy in places.”

. And not even 1 loo roll on arrival. Living area very cramped. Previous guests laundry left at lodge in a bag for our entire stay. Excellent main bedroom v comfy and spacious. Really good shower too. Nice hot tub. Limefitt Park is FULL of dogs, and they yapped non stop which was very annoying. Noisy ppl next door to us- noisy til 1am so none of us could sleep. Park very clean tho, and would b lovely without people letting their dogs bark continuously. Company great for booking with- hassle free and super efficient. All in all an OK lodge but needs decor issues sorted- paper hanging off wall... Limefitt Park clean but noisy. Wouldn't stay again. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Lake District is stunning What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Hire a boat on the lake

- Mrs Stephanie Watterson, Aug 2016

Thank you for your feedback comments, Stephanie. We were sorry to hear that you found a few things not quite right during your stay at Limefitt Park. Although the lodge is self catering there should have been at least one loo roll per toilet as standard. We have spoken to the housekeepers who apologise for the oversight and leaving a bag of linen behind (which we understand was collected shortly afterwards). Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused. We have also passed on your comments to the lodge owners for their consideration and we know they will be decorating the lodge at the end of the busy summer period. Limefitt Park is a dog friendly park and all guests are asked guests to be considerate and responsible, if this was not the case then we are sorry for the disturbance caused. We will pass on your comments about the noise late at night to the park management as it is stated in the park rules that consideration is asked after 10pm. This is most unusual as Limefitt is usually a very peaceful place. Valley View is a very popular lodge and a a great option when looking for self-catering accommodation with magnificent views in the heart of the Lake District ? and with an added bonus of a hot tub!

Mrs Alison Cook Aug 2016

“A clean and spacious lodge equipped with all the luxuries of home.”

We enjoyed the use of the hot tub in the evening when the weather allowed as well as being able to sit outside on the decking. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The quietness of the site and comfort of the lodge. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Hill Top (house where Beatrix Potter lived)

- Mrs Alison Cook, Aug 2016
Mr Paul Lindsay Jul 2016

“The park itself is in a wonderful situation on the Kirkstone pass road/valley.”

Very clean/litter free and high standard of accommodation throughout. Valley view itself is one of the best cabins/cottages I have ever stayed in. 3 TV linked to DVD player so children can watch one or two while you watch something else, kitchen equipped with everything you need fridge/freezer ..en-suite shower was power shower so really nice to wake up to. Hot tub was..hot!...not luke warm and worth the extra money. nice playpark, ate once in haybarn hotel [only because it's more difficult controlling children if you have to eat inside the pub - would have eaten more often without children). valley view itself was cleaned to a very good standard an is obviously quite a new cabin. The park itself is quite (not yet English school holidays when we were there just Scottish schools off) my children would probably have preferred a few more..but plenty others will welcome that. membership of the local health/fitness centre is complimentary - really nice warm pool, hot sauna/spa...reception people at health club were generally youngsters presumably on minimum wage so you got the relevant standard of service. And as for park itself-so clean/litter free - even the sandpit in the playpark is raked smooth in evening/early morning. My only downside was the Wi-Fi was pretty poor - sometimes non-existant - my opinion for family holiday is children use Wi-Fi for so much that next year it will be one of the factors we consider when choosing somewhere - even if we had to pay What did you enjoy most about your stay? Hot tub, standard of accomodation What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Brokhole fore children, treetop walk with zip wire, treetop nets etc

- Mr Paul Lindsay, Jul 2016

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and for the very kind comments, Paul. We were delighted to hear that you found the lodge to be of an excellent standard and one of the best you have stayed in. Further to your comments about the WiFi we have passed them on to the lodge owners for their consideration ? thank you for your suggestion and we appreciate that children ideally would like speedy Wi-Fi. On the positive side the Lakes is full of outdoor activities for the whole family ? Brockhole is an excellent day out and tree top treks, Brilliant! After a fun packed day out the lodge is a desirable and relaxing retreat, it is tastefully designed and offers luxury accommodation and of course the added bonus of a hot tub - perfect. Property Owner
Mr David Banks Jul 2016

“We all had a great time, we all loved the hot tub especially the children.”

We went out to the nearby Zoo which the kids enjoyed and also rented a boat out on Windermere to do some fishing and we all loved that. We shall definitely be returning next year with the rest of the family. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The whole experience. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? We hired a boat on Windermere which was great.

Miss Louise Bebbington Jun 2016

“Beautiful lodge, it had all the home comforts you could wish for, comfortable beds which are a must after a busy day.”

We were provided with a highchair and travel cot no problem. We had fantastic weather all weekend which was lovely the only downside the hot tub was too hot to use 41 degrees!, need instructions on how to turn the temperature down. The lodge was on a quiet site with beautiful views and only a short car ride into Windermere, where there is plenty to do. We enjoyed a gentle boat ride on the lake which the kids loved. The site also had a great restaurant and bar very nice food and child friendly. Thank you and wonderful break had by all, we will be back hopefully for longer next time. What did you enjoy most about your stay? lovely lodge, very quiet site and beautiful weather. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Boat trip on lake windermere.

Thank you for your very kind review of Valley View Lodge. It was great to hear you had a wonderful time there and rated all aspects of your stay as 5 out of 5. We were sorry to hear you had a problem with the hot tub temperature. The controls are straightforward to use and there are instructions in the lodge information binder in case of need. We would have gladly helped if you had let us know you were having difficulties. It's always nice when the weather is kind as it makes a stay in the area even more enjoyable.

Mr David Silverstone May 2016

“The lodge is very nice and spotlessly clean.”

The double bedroom was great, the 2 singles fine but the beds are close together. The single bedroom good and plenty big enough for an adult. The weather was very good for April and the sun is at the front of the lodge all day which is great if you want to sit out. There is plenty outdoor furniture. The site was lovely and peaceful but only a short drive into Windermere. Only used the hot tub once but is was fine and very clean. Had a minor issue which Lake District Lodges dealt with immediately. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The peace and quiet and countryside. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? A day out in Bowness. Nice shops and eateries.

- Mr David Silverstone, May 2016

Very kind of you to review your stay and for the lovely comments, thank you. Delighted you enjoyed your time at Valley View. We agree the lodge is very nice and our contract cleaners do a fantastic job of keeping the lodge to the high standard our guests expect. We are pleased we dealt with your issue immediately - glad we could help. And what a bonus good weather makes, the Lake District is simply breath taking in the sunshine.

Mrs Angela Fraser Dec 2015

“We had actually booked to stay at Whitecross Bay hwoever it was flooded due to recent storms and we where offered this beautiful lodge as an alternative.”

I must say it was a beautiful lodge and well kept with lots of little extras. The hot tub was lovely - only wee point is that the owners may consider putting an umbrella over this to help when raining/or indeed sunny. The single beds in the twin room or really small though so if two couples going this is a bit uncomfy if you are more than average size(but considering we where offered this lodge as a quick plan) we were more than happy with it. Location is lovely and very quite surroundings. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The peacefulness What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Boat Trips on Lake Winderemere and Car Museum

Mr Robert Brook Dec 2015

“Valley View is a spacious comfortable lodge ideally situated for exploring the glorious Lake District the only thing you cant guarantee is the weather ,the on site pub is run by friendly staff and the food was great and you can enjoy a drink and warm by the fire,the hot tub at Valley view is a great way to unwind at the end of a days exploring we also made use of the excellent facilities at Low Wood iesure which is included in the booking of this great lodge.”

It will be hard to find one to beat this lodge but wont stop us trying for the next winter break. 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? If the weather is bad use Low Wood Facilities

- Mr Robert Brook, Dec 2015

Mr Donald Corns Oct 2015

“The only things I would change would be the sofa's the back were to low ( for pensioners ).”

Otherwise the lodge was very comfortable especially the en-suite double. One other thing would have been a help some info on using the dvd and cooker timer. I am being a bit picky but it may help. Otherwise the lodge was first class and we will use it again in the future. Hope this helps. Don Corns What did you enjoy most about your stay? Being able to relax at the end of a day out in our own little heaven. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? It would depend on age. We had a 19 year old with us who was happy just wandering round with us. So everything was good.

Mr Mike Oliver Aug 2015

“Valley View is the ideal family base for a brilliant holiday.”

The lodge is very well appointed, beautifully presented and very comfortable. The third bedroom and the hot tub really made the difference for us. We also made extensive use of the leisure facilities at Low Wood and with two teenage children this added a lot to the holiday. Food at the HayBarn was excellent and Limefitt is well positioned for exploring the area and local amenities but at the same time peaceful and in a wonderful rural position. What did you enjoy most about your stay? So many things to do - walking, cycling, boating etc What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Hire some bikes, take the ferry and cycle the route to Hawshead and Hilltop.

Danielle McCallum May 2015

“It was an absolute gorgeous log cabin in a gorgeous location.”

The beds were very comfy. There was everything you would need away from home such as all the kitchen utensils etc. Hot tub was amazing the only down fall is your not allowed in hot tub after 10pm. If we were a loud group having a party then I would understand but we were a couple enjoying a relaxing weekend. We were having a quiet drink in the hot tub at 10.05pm and the park security guard came around and told us to get out! So that was a bit rubiish. But rules are rules I guess. It definitely ruined our night. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Hot tub What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Boat ride

- Danielle McCallum, May 2015

Thank you for reviewing your weekend stay at Valley View, Danielle. As advised in the arrival information sent, the park have strict rules for the times people can use the hot tub. This is to ensure other guests and lodge owners nearby are not disturbed. We are sorry that you felt it ruined a night of your stay.

Mr Andrew Reeves May 2015

“Stayed 27th April - 1sy May our group booking this lodge as a base for 3 days cycling.”

On arrival the hot tub was ready to go. A few essential items were in the lodge, dishwasher tablets, toilet rolls. The lodge was very clean and had most items you could hope for although didn't find a frying pan but that might be for safety reasons. The weather wasn't great with snow and heavy rain. This makes one hell of a noise on the roof of the cabin so if you are a light sleeper take earplugs. There was no secure storage for our bikes meaning they were left out in the rain overnight. There was plenty of outside seats although not used due to weather. The onsite pub had good food at decent prices and was quiet during our visit. The area was very quiet and peaceful with nice scenery. I would definitely return in the future. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Hot tub What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Pub

- Mr Andrew Reeves, May 2015

Thank you for reviewing your recent stay at Valley View. We were delighted to hear you had a great week of cycling although there is no dedicated bike storage at the lodge.

Mr David Joyce Jan 2015

“What can we say.”

..so amazing! Cant say much more. The stay from start to finish was so brilliant. Hot tub so lush, although it was December we still got good use out of it (despite the rain) so nice to be in warm bubbly water with the rain coming down! We went for my fiance's 40th birthday and cooked a steak meal-every utencil we could have hoped for was there which was great. I loved the fact they provide things like tin foil, kitchen roll and toilet roll which added to the helpfulness. Lots of lush towels also. Only grip is there was no full length mirror, but hey, we werent really looking in mirrors much! Also of mention- the pub just 2 minutes from the lodge was great - lovely food. Thank you all at Limefitt Park - we'll certainly return, David & Jill What did you enjoy most about your stay?

Mrs Gail Palmer Jan 2015

“We really enjoyed our stay at Valley View recently and would definitely rebook in the future.”

The lodge was immaculate when we arrived with everything we needed and more. I took crockery for my two children but shouldn't have bothered as they had plastic plates, dishes, cups and cutlery which was fantastic. The lodge was really cosy and easy to heat up. The hot tub was a brilliant addition to the lodge, especially after long days out. The beds were really comfy, pretty much home from home! Overall, we had a lovely time! What did you enjoy most about your stay? Cosiness, comfiness and hot tub! What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Gruffalo's child walk at Whinlatter forest.

Mr Ian Williams Jan 2015

“This is a spacious & well equiped lodge in a peaceful location.”

The single beds are not really suitable for adults, as they are on the small side, but i imagine would probably be fine for children. The en-suite smelt of damp so could do with more maintaining. The hot tub would benefit with a canopy of some sort, as it would be nicer to use when raining. Overall though enjoyed our stay here, had everything we needed. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Hot tub What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Bowness

- Mr Ian Williams, Jan 2015

Thank you for reviewing your recent stay at Valley View. Your review overall is at odds somewhat to those received previously and we have noted a couple of things you mentioned which have been passed back to the owners to address as appropriate.

Mr John Hems Jan 2015

“Comfort and condition were both excellent and the site is in a good position for exploring the Lake District.”

Just one moan that the lighting for the Hot Tub was not working and despite reporting it on the day of arrival no remedial action was taken during the entire length of our stay.Whilst this may sound trivial it did make the Hot Tub area quite dangerous at night. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Very comfortable bed and good quality Hot Tub. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Drive along Kirkstone Pass and walk up Aira Force.

- Mr John Hems, Jan 2015

Thank you for writing a review of your recent stay at Valley View. We were sorry that there was an issue reported during your stay which wasn't resolved. The small inset LED lights in the deck (which provide low level lighting) were not working but the owners were not able to get them repaired during your time at the lodge. There was however more than adequate lighting to use the hot tub safely (including in the tub itself). We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. That aside we were pleased to note that you found the lodge as you did. Valley View is certainly a very comfortable and spacious lodge making a winter stay there very pleasant indeed. Property Owner
Mrs Diane Leech Dec 2014

“The lodge was perfect for a relaxing holiday, especially the hot tub.”

The lodge was well equipped for domestic use ie. cooking and leisure use ie. Playsaation 3. The holiday park was well kept and very clean. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Plenty to do at the lodge,plenty of good walks near the holiday park, and a good base for exploring the Lake District. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Walk up the fell, path at the side of the Haybarn pub.

Mrs Catherine Jefferson Oct 2014

“We enjoyed every second of our stay.”

The lodge had everything we needed and it was all of a fantastic standard. Well looked after. Washer / Dryer was advertised but not there, not essential but would have been useful for drying towels after use in the hot tub. The hot tub was fantastic, we were lucky with the weather and were able to sit out a lot in beautiful surrounding it was bliss. Meals were also very good in the Haybarn and we would recommend. We will deffinately come back and stay in the same lodge we felt at home right from the first second. Staff also at reception were great. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Probably the hot tub What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Bowness on Windermere was lovely, lovely scenery.

Mrs Anne Harris Sep 2014

“The lodge was lovely but really don't think it was value for money!”

The main gripe was that it advertised that it had a washer/dryer but there was nothing only the pipes where one had originally been! Therefore, we spent ??10 and a wasted evening at the launderette! Although you will say this is nothing to do with you , the staff in reception were miserable and very very unhelpful! If you own a lodge on this site at least ask the reception staff that they don't have to keep saying "nothing to do with us"!! I assume that the owners pay a ground rent for the lodge at Limefitt Park!! After a couple off days the smell coming from the en-suite was awful and as you are aware we already complained about the carpet nails! All in all the holiday was ok but not one I would want to experience again I can safely say we won't be returning to Valley View and won't be recommending to friends! I hope this review isn't a waste of time and didn't get filed in the deleted folder!!!

Nothing to complain about. Even the rain didn't seem to bother us. Beautiful location . Limefitt park owners and staff most accommodating and site maintained well. Good job laundry room on site as the washer-dryer facilities offered at Valley View lodge is incorrect...There isn't one! Lodge is well furnished and everything needed was to hand. Will return.

“Valley View was everything we expected it to be and more having stayed in other lodges at Limefitt on several occasions before.”

Modern, spacious and well equipped we especially picked it as it has three bedrooms which better suits our family plus it has the added bonus of a newly fitted hot tub. The welcome at the Haybarn was as friendly as ever and the food was delicious. We enjoyed walking although, as we were blessed with a heatwave, not as much as I would have liked. A lovely morning was spent on the Teal on Lake Windermere. The river pool was fantastic this year and we even had a go at pony trekking. We had a couple of issues during our stay and Mark at Lake District Lodge Holidays was very helpful and sorted them straight away, unfortunately the reception staff at Limefitt were not so helpful as they have been in previous years as they told us our lodge "wasn't one of theirs" as we had booked with an agent (which we have aways done?) so I would suggest if you have any issues, no matter how small, contact Mark direct. A fantastic time was had by all and should hopefully be returning again soon. What did you enjoy most about your stay? relaxing, peace and quiet What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? the river pool for children

“Valley View Lodge provides a lovely stay for groups/families when visiting the Lake District.”

The lodge accommodates up to 5 people really well, with a bathroom and an en-suite, dining and lounge area and good sized bedrooms with ample storage space. It is situated in Limefitt Park which is well located as local attractions are only a short drive away. There are good walking routes in the surrounding area with great views of the lake and peaks. It has been recently fitted with an outdoor hot tub, which is a welcomed treat, weather permitted - we were lucky to have little rain so enjoyed this greatly. Booking the lodge was very straightforward, and any questions were responded to in a timely manner. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Quality of the accomodation. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Walk from Troutbeck to Ambleside via Wansfell Pike

- Miss Samina Khatoon, May 2014

Thank you so much for your 5 out of 5 review rating following your recent stay at Valley View. We were delighted to hear you had a good time. The recent addition of the outside hot tub makes the lodge an even better place to stay and is enjoyed by many after a day out walking or visiting the many nearby attractions. Property Owner
