“Excellent lodge on a lovely site , we were very pleased with the accommodation it was clean,modern,well equiped and very comfortable.”

The hot tub proved to be a great hit with all the family.The Haybarn served good food at reasonable prices,we also walked the 15 mins(along the main road) to the Queens Head in Troutbeck which was lovely . Would definitely reccomend to family& friends.

- Barry, August 2026

Thanks you very much for your kind review it is much appreciated, we do spend a lot of money to make sure everything is as perfect as we can make it. BIG TIP for your next visit and particularly important with the dark nights drawing in. IF you decide to go to the Queens Head please Don’t walk on the road , if you turn right out of Limefitt Park about 50m along the road is a metal gate , go through it and you can then walk along the fields parallel to the road , there is a Gate opposite the Queens to get back onto the road . I think this is much safer . Property Owner

“Great lodge.”

Very clean, modern and comfortable. Hot tub was a great addition to our holiday.

- Alison, August 2026

Thanks for the great review. We try to keep the Lodge in tip top condition and usually visit once a month ourselves because we love the Lakes. The Hot tub is a top feature of Wainwright, we make sure it’s emptied and cleaned after every guest, and the chemicals are checked daily . We are constantly investing in the Lodge we recently had all of the doors and windows realigned to ensure they open and shut without sticking, this was in response to a guests feedback. We hope to see you again at Wainwright Lodge in the future. Property Owner

We had a wonderful time at Wainwright Lodge, it was lovely and clean and had everything you could possibly need, the kitchen was fully kitted out and even had Prosecco glasses which was great for us

- Heather, May 2026

We are delighted you had a wonderful time at Wainwright Lodge. We keep the new kitchen well stocked with equipment and we have plastic glasses to use in the new Hot Tub. We look forward to you returning soon . Thanks for the kind review. Property Owner
David March 2026

“We had a great holiday in Wainwright Lodge - thankyou for hosting us!”

Overall the lodge was very comfortable, warm and very well equipped, we made full use of the hot tub and falling into the supremely comfortable beds at the end of a day of walking and activities was really appreciated! This was our second stay on the park as we love the peace, wildlife, walking from the door, onsite pub and accessibility to the Lake District as a whole - we will return again! We have a couple of small points that the owner may wish to pay attention to to avoid big bills in the future - both of the patio doors and also the front door to the lodge need adjusting - they were difficult to open / close and took some slamming / getting used to - I'd suggest if these were adjusted on the hinges it may avoid replacement costs. Secondly the towels on arrival smelt musty, almost like they had been folded when damp rather than dry from the last laundry process - a small issue but one that could be corrected again easily. We would definitely recommend Wainwright Lodge and would stay again! Thankyou !

- David, March 2026

UPDATE July The Door Surgeon has now fixed ALL the sticky doors and windows . Thanks again for the feedback Thanks for your super positive review , we are delighted you had a great time at Wainwright Lodge . Thanks for the tip on the doors we have booked a Door “surgeon” to come out and adjust the doors so this should soon be resolved. Our cleaners apologises for the hand towels , she had used a different cleaning method , since you pointed this out she has reverted to the old way which has resolved the problem . Thanks Again for the feedback and we look forward to seeing you again. Property Owner
John December 2025

“Had a wonderful stay.”

Also a lovely surprise of the Christmas extras off the owners . It was a really nice thought. Thank you so much.

That’s very kind of you Ian . We are delighted you had a great time and look forward to welcoming you back next year. Property Owner
Lee October 2025

“Enjoyed our stay in your lodge.”

Excellent location. Lodge is well appointed with everything you need. The sofa needs replacing, It is in really worn condition. When you pay that sort of money for a lodge you expect things like that to be right. Especially with the income to the lodge owner over the year. We would stay again but that would put us off.

- Lee, October 2025

Update 10:Feb 2026 . New Sofa purchased and now in Wainwright Lodge . Thanks for the feedback. Thanks for your feedback, we are delighted you enjoyed your stay at Wainwright, we agree it is in a beautiful spot looking up the valley. Glad you found everything you needed for a top stay , we do have a constant programme of renovations and renewal . With this in mind we are visiting Wainwright in a couple of weeks and will take some measurements to renew the Sofa over the close season in a few weeks time . Glad it wouldn’t put you off for a future visit we have invested a lot of money to maintain Wainwright in tip top condition with a new Hot Tub and a new kitchen in recent months . Hope to see you soon . Property Owner
Andrea September 2025

“A lovely welcome gift and card.”

We stay at Limefitt 4 or 5 times a year and this is our go to log cabin. Situated with the best views and hot tub, wainwright cannot be beaten. Will be back soon and thanks again.

- Andrea, September 2025

Andrea thank you for your kind review. We love Wainwright Lodge as well, we use it as a base to explore the Lake District, we never tire of visiting the Lakes. Spring in the Lakes is my favourite time for a visit, I’m sure you will enjoy your next visit. Kind Regards Geraldine Property Owner
Clare July 2025

“Lovely, dog-friendly property.”

Very practical and well-appointed, also occupying a great position in Limefitt Park.

- Clare, July 2025

Thank You very much for your kind review . We use Wainwright Lodge ourselves on a regular basis, when we visit we make sure everything is in tip top condition. The Kitchen is newly refurbished which adds to the experience. We do hope to see you visit again soon . Property Owner
Lynne July 2025

“Our stay at Wainwright Lodge was great.”

The lodge was modern and very clean and well equipped with everything you need. The hot tub was checked daily and the position of the lodge was ideal allowing brilliant views but privacy as well. Location ideal for visiting all around The Lakes. I would certainly come back and highly recommend it.

- Lynne, July 2025

Thank you for your very kind review. We use the Lodge ourselves regularly to make sure it’s super clean and well equipped. The Hot Tub is great and is emptied and cleaned before each new guest , and then the chemicals as you said are checked daily. We do hope to see you again at Wainwright Lodge. Property Owner

Eve April 2025

“A lovely lodge in a great position!”

We've been visiting Wainright Lodge since covid restrictions were lifted and it's are go to place for our family spring breaks.... Having the hot tub to come back to after a long day is just brilliant! We are hoping to return again next year, thanks again!

- Eve, April 2025

Dear Eve many thanks for your kind review, we do try to keep Wainwright in Top condition. We also love the Lakes in the Spring, and personally we also Love the Lakes at Halloween/Autumn . Glad you enjoyed the new Hot Tub , we make sure this is drained and cleaned after each guest. Hope to see you again soon. Property Owner
David April 2025

“Our only problem was internet access on the 3rd day but reception and WiFi support team were brilliant at sorting it.”

Thanks

- David, April 2025

Dr David many thanks for your kind review, sorry about the hiccup on the Internet but glad to see it was sorted quickly. Property Owner
Jodie December 2024

“Lake District Lodge holidays were borderline impossible to get hold of prior to our stay which caused unnecessary inconvenience.”

Lodge was great but a few niggles. It was freezing in December and we could only get the heating to come on for a few hours at a time so overnight it went off and our baby woke up cold. No plug sockets near the bed. Only one bath at for two bathrooms. Internet didn’t work as advised do we had to call technical support and pay for a connection.

- Jodie, December 2024

We are very pleased you found Wainwright a great Lodge. Apologies for the heating, it is set on a Nest timer however you can adjust it on the wall in the Hall. There are plug sockets behind the bed in the main bedroom, but as you suggest not at the side of the bed. There is one Jacuzzi bath in the main bathroom, however the ensuite only has a shower, this is clearly indicated on the photos and documents for Wainwright Lodge. We pay an annual payment for WiFi and you should not pay, there is a encapsulated sheet with instructions for the WiFi in the main living room, apologies for this. In terms of LDLH we apologise on their behalf, they are normally very responsive. I hope this answers your niggles and we do hope to see you again in the New Year. Property Owner
Sally December 2024

“Really comfortable lodge .”

Beds comfortable. We used jacuzzi. Plenty of utensils. For cooking. Showers good . Heating good when cold . The tea pot needs replacing. The spout was broke when we arrived but has been glued back on .down side pub was not open on site . Even though times said it was .

- Sally, December 2024

Many Thanks for your kind review, we are delighted you found Wainwright Lodge a comfortable Lodge, the beds are very comfortable and we use expensive linen to make sure you have the best sleep. The Jacuzzi bath is a bonus and compliments the new Hot Tub . We constantly make sure we have a good selection of utensils in the kitchen. The heating is very efficient and soon warms the lodge up when its cold outside. Thanks for the tip on the Tea pot we have now replaced this. Apologies for the crossed wires on the onsite pub, LDLH's tell me everyone was notified of the Pub opening times over the Xmas period, clearly this didn't reach you, we hope it didn't spoil your stay. Many Thanks for your kind feedback and we look forward to seeing you again in 2025. Property Owner
Debbie November 2024

“We had a wonderful stay at Wainwright lodge, we have stayed in a few lodges at Limefitt and this is the best, lovely and modern and nice and roomy.”

We will definitely be back

- Debbie, November 2024

Many Thanks for your kind review , we are very pleased you had a wonderful stay in Wainwright Lodge . We invest each year in Wainwright to make sure it’s in top condition. You are correct to say Wainwright is roomy it’s a large 3 bedroom Lodge which is one of the bigger Lodges at Limefitt. We are delighted to have many regular guests returning again and again so we do hope to see you back in the New Year. Property Owner
Phil November 2024

“Had a great week once again at Limefitt Park staying at this fantastic lodge.”

Not stayed at this particular lodge before Lodge kitted out to a high standard and hot tub was perfect after walking each day. A big thank you to the owners for letting us stay in your amazing lodge. Phil P - Wrexham

- Phil, November 2024

Thank you for your very kind review, we are delighted you found Wainwright Lodge an amazing Lodge . We invest each year to make sure Wainwright is a great place to stay , we added the New Kitchen and New Hot Tub this year. We look forward to you visiting again in the New Year . Property Owner
Tanya September 2024

“We had a fantastic week stay at Wainwright Lodge (Mon-Fri).”

The location of the site itself was perfect - set in a stunning peaceful valley with incredible views but only a 8-12 minute drive to Ambleside, Windermere & Bowness. There’s a great pub on site with pool table, darts board & sky sports, plus a small conveince shop at reception. Booths supermarket is only 8 mins away too. The lodge itself was everything we could have asked for - clean, spacious, comfortable & ridiculously well equipped! The kitchen is a good size & had every pan & utensil you could need - pint glasses & plastic hot tub glasses were a bonus! The hot tub was powerful without being noisy & the views of the fields were bliss (plus we enjoyed spotting the occasional sheep!) Internet & smart TV in the lounge was spot on & check in and out was seamless. We couldn’t have asked for more, the owners have a gem on their hands with this one & we’re very much hoping to be booking again! 5* all round

- Tanya, September 2024

Thank you so much for your kind review. We have invested in a NEW Kitchen and NEW Hot tub to try to make our Lodge a great place to stay with all the necessary amenities . We also bought all new bath towels because a guest said they needed to be a little larger, so we do try to take on board the advise of our guests. The WiFi is excellent with great back up and we have the Large Smart TV . We are personally in the Lodge next week so we will give everything a check and an extra clean , we then we have guests up until the New Year when Limefitt closes for a few weeks in the winter. Thanks again for the wonderful Review and we hope to see you again in the Future . Property Owner
Denis September 2024

“Beds and sofas were extremely comfortable.”

But the lodge wasn’t clean. Weird residue on cutlery. Cobwebs everywhere inside and especially outside the lodge. When you open a door from the outside there’s colonies of insects living inside the door frames. WiFi never worked, TV wouldn’t connect to any type of network, luckily we brought an XBOX down. Honestly if there was a little more effort on cleaning the lodge, it would of easily been 4 stars

- Denis, September 2024

We have just returned from a week at Wainwright Lodge, infact we arrived as you left. Making it opportune to reply to your feedback. We are not sure about the weird residue on the cutlery? we have a dishwasher and there wasn't any residue on anything when we arrived so thanks for cleaning off whatever you found. There are Cobwebs are on the outside of the Lodge, infact (and we had a walk around site to check) there are Cobwebs on pretty much every Lodge. This said we cleaned them all off, this is normally done when required by ourselves, or our window cleaner, so apologies for this. I checked indoors for Cobwebs and I found 2 small one hidden in a corner, again apologies and these have now been cleaned. I opened and checked the 3 main doors and every window and I couldn't find any insects, honestly I have no idea about the colonies living in the door frames, they certainly aren't there now. The Lodge was cleaned 6 times in August alone, it is absolutely immaculately clean. We also gave it a super clean as well before we left. The WiFi was working throughout your visit, it powers the Google Thermostat and WiFi for the TV, the heating always worked so the WiFi must have been was running. The TV however had been disconnected, also all the Colour/Contrast/Brightness etc had been adjusted to max, perhaps children ?. The only WiFi onsite is Parkdean WiFinity , I called their helpline and the TV was reconnected within 2 minutes. I understood you had been given the WEiFinity Helpline number. However to avoid the problem in future for other guests we have put the Help number on the back of the vinyl about WiFi in the Lodge below the TV itself, any problems give them a call they are very Helpful. Many Thanks for your feedback and we look forward to you visiting Wainwright again in the future. Property Owner

The lodge was fabulous the pool staff and staff at the pub was amazing however the facilities were lacking we would use the lodge again but the site facilities are rubbish

- Joanne, August 2024

We are delighted you thought the Lodge was Fabulous as we have invested in the NEW Kitchen and the New Hot tub to make it a great place to stay. Saying the site facilities are rubbish is a bit harsh, we think it depends on what you are looking for, there are 2 great Pubs within walking distance, dog walking area, many many great walks starting from Limefitt, and a football pitch/play areas for the children. However I suppose its fair to say these things are focused to appeal most to Dog owners, walkers, and cyclists. Property Owner
Fiona August 2024

“Really enjoyed our stay, lovely presented lodge and everything we needed, however, the sofas were covered in dog hair and crumbs as we arrived so had to hoover them ourselves.”

Not usually an issue as we have a dog ourselves so understand this is likely but looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in a while. Other than that our stay was perfect and we would recommend others to stay.

- Fiona, August 2024

Delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Wainwright Lodge and you had a perfect stay. We can only apologise that the sofas had some dog hairs and crumbs on them, the Lodge is given a good clean after every visitor and the Hot Tub has a full water change and new chemicals. We have asked our cleaner to pay particular attention to the Sofas in future. Many Thanks for your feedback and we hope to welcome you back to Wainwright in the near future. Property Owner
Danielle August 2024

“Absolutely fantastic lodge very well equipped, had everything we needed, Hot tub came in useful after a busy day of walking and was spotless everywhere!”

Great Location for great walks. The pub on the site was fantastic great food and Entertainment. We will Definitely be booking again.

- Danielle, August 2024

Thank You for your excellent review, it seems you found the NEW hot tub very useful to soak away the aches from a long walk . Our cleaner will be delighted you found everywhere SPOTLESS we do try very hard. We very much hope to see you again at Wainwright Lodge. Property Owner

We have stayed here so many times it’s always been a 5 star cabin but since the recent refurb it’s definitely a 5 star plus carnt wait to come back again it’s the best Mick & Julia

- Michael, June 2024

Thats so kind and we are delighted you liked the refurb, we are very happy with how the NEW TUB and the NEW KITCHEN turned out. Many Thanks for rebooking. Property Owner

Everything was perfect, only recommendation we would make was to have some outdoor comfy lesiure chairs to take advantage of the stunning location

- Kevin, May 2024

Thank you for your excellent review it really is rewarding to hear everything was perfect, Wainwright Lodge really is in a perfect spot. Thanks for your feedback about the chairs I'm thinking perhaps you missed the comfy cushions for the outdoor dining furniture ? We keep these inside in the walk in wardrobe off the main bedroom, we bring them in after each visit as it can (very occasionally) rain in the Lake District :) Hope to see you back soon .

Eve May 2024

“We've been visiting Wainright Lodge since 2020, this year we loved the new kitchen and hot tub upgrades.”

..! Views from the deck are lovely and it was a very peaceful, enjoyable week! We've booked again for April next year, our little boy had a fab time and wanted to return! As did we all!

- Eve, May 2024

Thanks for returning to Wainwright Lodge, we are delighted you loved the NEW KITCHEN and HOT TUB upgrades. The views down the valley are awesome, Troutbeck really is a special place. We are very happy that your son enjoyed himself so much and you are all returning in April next year. Property Owner
Janet May 2024

“Spotlessly clean.”

Had everything you could need. Very comfortable beds. Hot tub was lovely and we used it a great deal.

- Janet, May 2024

Many Thanks for your super kind review we are delighted you found the Lodge spotlessly clean . We are also glad you enjoyed the NEW TUB it was a big investment for us, the NEW TUB is of course cleaned and emptied before each new guest and the chemicals are checked daily. We hope to see you again in the future. Property Owner

This is our 3rd time at this lodge and we will be coming back for years to come The new hot tub was wonderful, spent every evening in it after a long days of walking

- Stephen, April 2024

Many Thanks for your kind review, we are delighted you love Wainwright Lodge as much as we do. The NEW TUB is great and the NEW KITCHEN has given the Lodge a freshen up for 2024. We hope you will come back to visit for the 4th time soon. Property Owner
Sarah March 2024

“We had a lovely relaxing break at the lodge.”

The views were stunning and the park was so peaceful.Thankyou for having us, we will definitely return

- Sarah, March 2024

Thank you for your very nice feedback, we are delighted you had a relaxing break and enjoyed your stay at Wainwright Lodge. We have invested in a brand NEW KITCHEN and a brand NEW HOT TUB for 2024 so we hope this enhanced your stay as well. Property Owner
Kelda February 2024

“We loved our stay at the lodge.”

Fluffy towels and the most comfortable beds we have slept in!! The hot tub was a gods send when it rained non stop, and the facilities in the kitchen were great. The showers were hot and powerful, and the heating very efficient. All five of us, plus the dog really enjoyed our stay! The only small thing would be there was only one hand wash in the en-suite, which we moved to the main bathroom, so we didn’t use the en-suite toilet as there was nothing to wash our hands with. If we had known in advance we would have brought some extra with us.

- Kelda, February 2024

Thank you for the great feedback, we are glad you enjoyed the super comfy beds and fluffy towels, we are very conscious to always keep our bedding and linens in top condition. NEW for 2024 is the BRAND NEW HOT TUB which we just had installed, also NEW for 2024 is the BRAND NEW KITCHEN, all stocked with an excellent array of equipment. Sorry you were a hand soap short, we have one in each bathroom now. Property Owner
Chris December 2023

“Just returned from a lovely Christmas break on arrival was greeted by a beautiful Christmas tree and gifts from the owners which was a lovely welcome and kind.”

This is our 9th visit to limefitt and this is the nicest lodge we have stayed in especially the location and view from the hot tub. We also brought our dog who had a wonderful time, no washing machine but to be honest a great laundrette on ste. We will definitely be back in 2024 Chris mel & Ernie

- Chris, December 2023

Many thanks for your very kind review, we are very glad you enjoyed the Christmas tree and little gifts. We take great pride in Wainwright and visit quite a lot ourselves during the year to ensure everything is in tip top condition, it is a spacious Lodge and one of the largest Lodges at Limefitt Park. The Hot Tub is brand NEW and we agree one hundred percent that when you are in the Tub the view up the valley is fantastic. We wish you a very Happy New Year, and hope to see you again in 2024. Property Owner
Anita December 2023

“This is our second stay here and we love the lodge its spacious and clean and also in a great location, the hot tub is an added bonus and great to relax in after a long day walking.”

Everything we needed was provided in the lodge and we thoroughly enjoy coming here for a week in December for my Husbands birthday. My only quibble is i was ready to book again when we returned for next December but can see the price has gone up by nearly 150 for the same week we stayed this year, is there a reason for this massive increase in price

- Anita, December 2023

Thank You very much for your kind review and for visiting Wainwright Lodge for a second time we do appreciate this and are delighted you love the Lodge. We have increased the price for 2024 although the price for 2023 hardly changed from 2022. During these two years we have faced huge increases in the Park Dean "pitch fees" for the Lodge, along with increases in Gas and Electric, the rates, the water bills and cleaning charges, in effect the much discussed "cost of living" increases. In addition to this we are investing a lot of money to keep Wainwright Lodge in top condition, we installed a brand new Hot Tub in November '23 and we are having a new kitchen with new floors and complete redecoration, this is being completed during the Winter 2023 shutdown of Limefitt Park. I hope this explains why the price has gone up but we do hope to see you again in 2024 Property Owner
Gez November 2023

“Thoroughly enjoyed our week stay in Wainwright this is the second time we have stayed in this lodge.”

The only comment I would make is regarding cleaning the main living area. The cleaners need to move the two sofas and clean beneath them, we had to move them to find the dogs ball and actually ended up cleaning this area ourselves which was not ideal as the dust was quite thick and full of dog hair (which you would expect). This is our only negative comment - we look forward to staying at Wainwright again in the near future.

- Gez, November 2023

Thanks for your feedback Gez we are delighted you had a good week at Wainwright Lodge. We do apologise that you found some dust under the Living room sofas. Since your feedback we have asked our cleaner to make an effort to clean regularly under the sofas. We also visited ourselves after you left and stayed for a week, during this time we gave Wainwright an extra clean as well. Can I also add that we have just had a brand NEW Hot Tub fitted so we do hope to see you for another visit in Wainwright Lodge in the New Year. Property Owner
Andrew October 2023

“Lodge situated in a lovely place with view of the hills, playing field where Roe deer and sheep visit.”

Hot tub was perfect after long walks around the Lakes. Nice walks around the site into the hills. On site pub also nice to visit, serving food too. Site is very well maintained and clean. Site only a short distance from Windermere and the main road leading to Ambleside and Grasmere so perfect for day trips. We really enjoyed our stay here.

- Andrew, October 2023

Many Thanks for your kind feedback. We agree Wainwright Lodge is in a very nice spot on the edge of Limefitt, it is indeed lovely to watch the Deer and the "Herdys". We visit the Lodge regularly to make sure its in perfect condition for our guests. We love the Lake District and always find something new to do every time we go. We are delighted you had a good time and really hope you will visit Wainwright Lodge again. Property Owner
John July 2023

“Lovely accommodation in a great location.”

Fabulous views and very well equipped. The cleaning however was a little disappointing, crisps in the sofa and lots of dust/debris under the beds. Wouldn’t stop us returning, but would be good if the level of clean was improved.

- John, July 2023

A well equipped Lovely Lodge in a great location with fabulous views, this does sum up Wainwright Lodge, thank you for these comments. In terms of the cleaning we have had a chat with our cleaner who has given the Lodge an extra clean, apologies for the dust under the beds. We are visiting our Lodge soon and we will also give it a clean whilst we are there. We hope to have you back soon. Property Owner
Sarah June 2023

“Lovely lodge well thought out and cared for.”

Loved all the small details pictures etc. very comfortable and easy to use. Location super, wonderful views and loved having use of the hot tub. Small bedroom was noisy from electrical humming all night!

- Sarah, June 2023

Delighted that you thought Wainwright was a lovely lodge, we really do make a lot of effort to keep it in tip top condition. The Lodge location is excellent with views up the valley, in or out of the Hot Tub ! The humming is the noise that the Hot Tub makes, its on continuously to keep the temperature regulated, there isn't actually anything wrong with it, its just the gentle hum that it makes. Property Owner
Frazer June 2023

“Thank you for your gesture of goodwill.”

Had it not been for the following we would have rated top marks.... *lodge description inaccurate (no private wifi) *no coffee maker upon arrival (thank you for providing mid stay) *hot tub water level kept dropping and required me to call for service (they said they were due to come with engineer during our stay and that we should have been informed which we were not) *some cooking oil would have made our meals run smoother- would have expected this as a basic along side the salt and pepper *no instruction on location of DVD player meant we didn't locate it for days given it was in such an obscure location The location was great and the beds comfortable. The availability of a fan and cot made our stay with a 2 year old much better given the heat. Some bug screens or similar for the patio doors would be very useful for your guests given the closeness to trees/forest. We were covered in bites by time we left.

- Frazer, June 2023

i will try to answer the comments and feedback you made. In terms of WiFi Wainwright Lodge now has the brand new private Park Connect+ Fast WiFi which is provided by ParkDean. Apart from running the Smart TV its also capable and perfect for running software like Microsoft Teams, I use Teams with no issues when working from the Lodge. Although the Advert had not been updated this High speed WiFi was running throughout your visit, we have however amended the Ad to avoid confusion. The Cafetiere was missing as you suggest, unfortunately this must have been broken by a previous visitor and unfortunately this hadn't been reported to us, we however replaced it with a new one immediately. The Hot Tub water level was a bit low and this was rectified immediately . As I suggested in previous reviews, any issues with the Tub please ask the Tub guys and they will sort it promptly, they visit daily. Provision of cooking oil, its not really possible for us to maintain a fully stocked kitchen i'm afraid. Sorry you couldn't find the DVD if you had asked when you asked about the Cafetiere we could have told you where it was. As a further comment not many people ask for the DVD now it seems to have been replaced by using the Smart TV. I'm glad the cot and Fan we provided were useful . We spent the week in Wainwright Lodge prior to your arrival and I guess we must have been lucky as we didn't get a single bite! Perhaps its best to close the patio door to keep the bugs out. Thanks for the feedback and I hope my reply explains the issues you had Property Owner
David May 2023

“Brilliant property!”

Only issue I had was the hot tub would go into fault mode a few times. I turned it off/on and this resolved.

- David, May 2023

Glad you thought Wainwright was a brilliant property. Not sure about the problem with the tub ? seems ok now. We take great care with the tub, the water is changed and the tub cleaned before each new guest and we have a tub guy visit everyday to check the chemical levels. If you ever have a problem with any aspect of the tub please talk to the tub guy when he visits. Thanks for your feedback and we do hope you visit Wainwright again soon. Property Owner
Daniel April 2023

“What a fantastic lodge!”

We had a great week's stay at Wainwright Lodge and the view has to be the best on the park! We did have a problem with the hot tub leaking however this was fixed promptly and everyone was extremely friendly and sorted the issue whilst we were out exploring. We would 100% stay here again.

- Daniel, April 2023

Wainwright is a fantastic lodge, one of the biggest on Limefitt park and boasting a Hot Tub as well. We are delighted you had a great weeks stay. Glad the Hot Tub issue was resolved promptly, we commit a lot of time to Hot Tub maintenance, before each new guest the water is changed and the tub cleaned, and we have a tub guy visit everyday to check the chemical levels. If you ever have a problem with any aspect of the tub please talk to the tub guy when he visits. And we would be 100% delighted to have you stay again. Property Owner

Dish washer no working correct, and the fridge door doesn't shut correctly have to give it a good push to ensure it is closed Holiday was wonderful, have stayed there two times before and will continue to stay in future

- Stephen, April 2023

We are glad you had a great Holiday , Wainwright is a great Lodge to stay in. We recently visited Wainwright ourselves for a few days, the Dishwasher problem is now resolved. The fridge required a little adjustment on the door and is also now fine. Thanks for your feedback. May 5th Property Owner
Matthew April 2023

“I really like this property - can't wait to stay again - I would book today but paying 30% deposit straight after your holiday is too much I will save up over a few months and then hope it isn't booked.”

- Matthew, April 2023

Wainwright is a great Lodge, one of the largest on Limefitt Park, with the benefit of a Hot tub of course. We are pretty much full through the Summer but have some space in the Autumn , we always love to do the Pumpkin Festival at Halloween, perhaps one to think about . Many Thanks for your kind Review.

“Thank you for a lovely holiday, the lodge was a wonderful base to come back to after a day of walking.”

Soaking away the aches in the hot tub and looking out over the fantastic views

- Stephen, April 2022

Dear Stephen thank you for your excellent review, we agree 100% that Wainwright Lodge and Limefitt Park is a really great base for a Holiday. And yes soaking away in the hot tub looking down the valley is a great way to end the day, and of course Wainwright Lodge is one of a very small number of Lodges that has a Hot Tub on Limefitt. I do hope you will come back again. Property Owner
Derek April 2022

“Great location.”

Hot tub excellent. Kitchen a little bit tired and could do with some work. Bedrooms and bathrooms all ideal.

- Derek, April 2022

Dear Derek we are delighted you liked the Location of Wainwright Lodge and took advantage of the Hot Tub with views up the valley. Glad the bedrooms and bathrooms were ideal. Sorry to hear you thought the Kitchen was a bit tired, we do update all of the pots, pans and utensils on a regular basis, often at the start of each year. We are visiting Wainwright Lodge ourselves in a couple of weeks and we will cast a critical eye over it. Thanks for the feedback and I hope you will visit again in the future. Property Owner

“The property was in a good location, very clean and spacious.”

The hot tub was a good addition and was serviced daily. We would definitely book again.

- Alison, February 2022

Many Thanks for your review, you are correct Wainwright Lodge is one of the largest Lodges at Limefitt Park and one of a very small number that has a Hot Tub. We are glad you found the Lodge clean, we are absolutely meticulous about cleanliness and yes the Hot Tube is emptied, cleaned, and refilled for each new guest and then checked daily. Property Owner

“A lovely place to stay for Christmas with the family, thank you so much for the tree and decorations it made if more special.”

- Julie, December 2021

Many Thanks for your kind review, we agree Christmas at Wainwright Lodge in the Lakes is a great place to stay, we are delighted you liked the tree. Property Owner
Caroline November 2021

“The lodge was beautiful, very clean, very spacious, lots of cooking and cutlery implements.”

Bathrooms were clean and spacious and lots of clean towels were provided. We did have an issue with the hob which if you were doing a lot of cooking could have been a problem as it was difficult to light. The main reason we booked this lodge was for the hot tub which was situated on the decking overlooking the mountains which was lovely. Unfortunately the hot tub did not work correctly, it was hot but the jets were not working to full capacity, we reported this and somebody came out to check it, they were unable to resolve the issue and based on the information they provided it seems that there is a on going issue with the hot tub. It was very disappointing as this was a main feature of our break, and I feel that if it was an ongoing issue maybe we could have been informed prior to us arriving, and some kind of resolution could have been reached, regarding either another lodge or a monetary reduction.

- Caroline, November 2021

We are delighted you thought Wainwright Lodge was beautiful, spacious and very clean. We have really focused on cleanliness during the Covid period and will continue to do so. Thanks for your comments about the Hot Tub, we have had the Tub checked by an Engineer, as you said it was working but one jet was weaker, we are pleased to say as of 19th November the Engineer managed to restore the power to that jet and the Tub is now operating at 100% efficiency. Property Owner

Catherine October 2021

“Lodge was lovely had a nice break,only thing I would say as it could get cold at night so a few cosy blankets or throws would have came in useful.”

- Catherine, October 2021

Thank you for your very positive review we are delighted you found the Lodge "lovely" . We very much appreciate your suggestion to provide a few cosy blankets or throws, we have minimised things like this throughout Covid, but we may well introduce cosy blankets in the New Season 2022. Property Owner

“Enjoyed every moment we were there.”

Lodge was extremely clean, and very well equipped. Our second stay at limefitt and definitely not the last. Can’t wait to return.

- Janet, September 2021

Dear Mrs Coles, thank you for your very kind review. We work hard to ensure the Lodge is super clean, and we have redoubled efforts during the Covid period. We constantly invest in our Lodge to make sure it is always fully equipped. We also invest in quality Bed Linen to ensure you have a cosy and comfortable nights sleep. Property Owner
Tracey September 2021

“The lodge itself was perfect and very dog friendly.”

Our experience was somewhat marred by the fact that the lodge had not been cleaned and we had to wait a further 2 1/2 hours after we arrived to access the lodge. This being said I would definitely stay here again.

- Tracey, September 2021

Thank you for your feedback and we offer our apologies that the Lodge had not been cleaned. We are however delighted that you found the Lodge perfect and very dog friendly and will be delighted to welcome you back to Wainwright Lodge in the future. Property Owner
Derek July 2021

“This is our 3rd trip to Limefitt Lodges, we booked the Wainwright lodge on the day we returned from a brilliant break as lockdown was easing Summer 2020 but unfortunately this break we encountered a few issues.”

Firstly we would like to say the lodge is in a nice location, not overlooked with the added bonus of a hot tub and the guy who came out every day was very pleasant and friendly, all staff on site including the Haybarn were very friendly. We had problems with the fridge keeping food cool, this was reported and somebody came out while we were out and an email was received saying the fridge was working fine and implied the vents were blocked, by this time we had to throw out fresh produce and had ice packs inside to try and keep butter cool including a birthday cake. There was no improvement to the coolness of the fridge for the duration of our holiday, it was last tested in 2018 we would recommend a service. We also had a power cut for 7 hours, which was also reported and it came back on the morning we were leaving which spoilt our last evening. We would like to address, as have other recent visitors regarding the huge price increases for 2022, we booked this lodge in July 2020 for £1134.00 for 7 nights in 2021 and the same week if we wanted to return in July 2022 is £2030!! Even with the effects of covid 19 and inflation this price increase is unethical and unjustified. Unfortunately as other visitors have commented you have outpriced us returning.

- Derek, July 2021

Thank you for your feedback, we are delighted that you appreciated the excellent position of Wainwright Lodge with its delightful views up the valley, of course best viewed from the Hot Tub! Our apologies for the fridge it seems that it was working intermittently, this said we replaced it with a new Fridge Freezer unit on Friday. It has been difficult to source a replacement with poor availability and delayed deliveries at the moment. In the interim we had a temporary unit in place. The power cut was throughout the site and is very unusual and outside of our control. Please accept our apologies. In terms of the pricing this runs on a dynamic model, and higher prices are based on higher demand, however if the Lodge has lower demand the prices will fall. Please be reassured that all our guests who booked throughout the pandemic and had to cancel due to Covid were all given full no quibble refunds. Property Owner
Edith July 2021

“It’s a great lodge in a fantastic position looking up towards the hills.”

Especially Lovely when in hot tub.I could not fault anything with this lodge. Staff on site were very friendly. Would of loved to rebook for next year but unfortunately prices have doubled.

- Edith, July 2021

Thank you very much for your very kind comments about Wainwright Lodge, it really is in a great spot and as you suggest the view from the Hot Tub is fantastic. Regarding the price, the prices for July 2022 have increased and you may see a larger difference due to your booking being made back in 2019 and having to be moved twice due to the pandemic. A lot has happened with Covid in that time during which we have honoured the prices our lodge was booked at and given full no quibble guarantees throughout. It would be our pleasure as owners to have you visit our lodge again in the future. Property Owner
Melanie June 2021

“This lodge is looking tired and the photographs on you website do not portray ...”

This lodge is looking tired and the photographs on you website do not portray the true condition of the fixtures fittings and furniture

- Melanie, June 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We are disappointed with your comments but I can assure you the photographs were only taken about 18 months ago. Since then the biggest change has been the upgrade of the 65inch TV and supporting personal WiFi. We have also removed some of the soft furnishings and ornaments in line with Covid recommendations. Wainwright is our own personal Lodge and we invest in the fixtures and fittings continuously and we will continue to do this as we move forward. Property Owner
Nicki June 2021

“The lodge and the park you could not fault.”

Had a great weekend and wanted to re book but after seeing the prices have now almost tripled i will not return which is a shame after a superb weekend in a great lodge on a great park.

- Nicki, June 2021

Thank you for your feedback, we are delighted you could not fault Wainwright Lodge. In terms of prices we can only comment on Wainwright Lodge where the prices going forward have increased slightly to reflect the demand for UK Staycations. We do hope you will return and enjoy another fabulous stay. Property Owner
Gez June 2021

“Limefitt is always a pleasure.”

I am shocked and disappointed to see the rates for lodges you are charging for later this year and into 2022 its a joke and completely unethical in my opinion. Its likely we will not return in the near future which is a huge disappointment - two and a half times what we have just paid for 4 nights is just not acceptable. I would appreciate your comments

- Gez, June 2021

We are delighted you found your visit to Wainwright Lodge a pleasure. In terms of prices we can only comment on Wainwright Lodge where the prices going forward have increased slightly to reflect the demand for UK Staycations. It is also the case that during this covid period many guests have received no quibble full refunds for cancellations or were allowed to move cancelled dates to late 2020 and 2021 at no extra cost. We do hope you will return and enjoy another fabulous stay with us. Property Owner
Charlotte May 2021

“Excellent lodge, clean and fully equipped kitchen.”

Hot tub was kept clean throughout our stay. Lots of walking close by and a central location away from busy windermere. Will definitely be coming back

- Charlotte, May 2021

Thank you for your very kind comments about Wainwright Lodge. Our Hot Tub is emptied, cleaned, filled with fresh water and treated with tub chemicals prior to every new guest arriving, it is also inspected for temperature and chemical levels daily. It would be our pleasure to welcome you back. Property Owner

- Joy, May 2021

Katie April 2021

“We had a fantastic stay at Wainwright Lodge, everything was clean and tidy when we arrived.”

Plenty of space and wifi with built in Netflix on the main tv was great for the evenings. The Hot Tub was brilliant, we used this ever night after our days of exploring. We ate from The Haybarn and the food was delicious, our dog, George, enjoyed the dog field and he also enjoyed watching the sheep and lamb from our decking that came to visit each night. Can’t wait to return!

- Katie, April 2021

It is great to receive your super positive feedback comments, we have focused even more than ever on cleanliness throughout the covid period with extra attention on all elements of the cleaning regime for Wainwright Lodge. We also visit ourselves on a regular basis to make sure we are personally happy with everything. The superfast Wainwright Lodge dedicated WiFi means not only is the 60 inch TV is great but it is also possible to work from the Lodge when necessary. Oh and glad George enjoyed his stay. Property Owner
Miss Amy Watson Jan 2021

“We went to wainwright lodge for Christmas 2020, we had an amazing time.”

The lodge is cosy and has everything you need, a little tired in need of a few touch ups other than that it was perfect. We had an issue with WiFi and even when reported nothing was done to rectify this, with it being Christmas we planned on using Facebook portal to see family which without the WiFi we were unable to do. The hot tub is great with an amazing view probably the best spot on the site view wise. The site has a pub which at the moment is closed but a little up the road was a lovely pub called the Queens head, there is a dog field and park which was great for my daughter and two dogs we took with us. Great place for winter we even got snow on Christmas Day. Prefect break, we even tried to extend our stay but it was already booked up and hoping to book for next Christmas. Highly recommend. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Views What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Queens head pub

- Miss Amy Watson, Jan 2021

Thank you for the review, Amy. We are delighted you enjoyed your Christmas break at Wainwrights Lodge and so pleased you are planning to return. With that in mind we shall certainly do all we can to make sure the wifi is working. We are sorry there was a problem that we were not able to fix for you. The wifi is provided by Parkdean Resorts and as you know they had closed for the season and were therefore not available to put it right. The owners have been made aware and will chase it up with the park management as soon as they reopen. Thank you for letting us know. Despite this matter we are delighted you enjoyed your stay and would recommend the lodge to others. Thank you. We look forward to you returning in the near future. Property Owner

Mr Lewis Grimes Mar 2020

“Wainwright Lodge is located on a site with many other lodges and facilities such as a nice pub, laundrette, dog walking field, picnic spots, play area for kids and a shop!”

That being said, it still has a really rural remote feeling to it, because the site itself is in such a beautiful location surrounded by nature walks up hills, and fields with sheep! Its an easy 10 minute drive to Windermere, so perfectly located. The lodge itself probably has the best view in the house with a beautiful, always warm hot tub overlooking great scenery (and the stars at night are something special)! It is comfortable whilst not feeling cramped with a modern fitted kitchen and all the mod cons, the bed was SUPER comfy (we actually bought a new duvet when coming home because of how comfy this one was)!! It has a smart TV with all the apps (for people wanting to chill out) and stays lovely and warm throughout. The game changer for us was that they were both dog friendly AND baby friendly as this was our first family holiday all together and I wouldn't have changed a single thing. We had an amazing time here, I would absolutely recommend it to anyone and want to come back!! What did you enjoy most about your stay? Getting in the hot tub and watching the sun set over the hills What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Go and eat at the Drunken Duck inn - the food is exceptional!

- Mr Lewis Grimes, Mar 2020
Mrs Frances Redding Mar 2020

Commercial vehicles, caravans, camper vans, Hen or Stag parties are not permitted onsite. Dogs must be kept on leads at all times and are not be left alone in the lodges at any point during your stay.

You will be staying on an operational holiday park, which means work may be undertaken from time to time by the park owners during your stay. Although Lake District Lodge Holidays will always try to inform guests in advance if something may impact on a stay and if we have prior knowledge. We cannot be held responsible or accept any liability for park operations of which are outside of our control and which we have no knowledge of.

Any issues relating to a stay at a privately owned lodge should be reported back through Lake District Lodge Holidays as the park are not responsible for managing the lodge or booking for private sublet guests during their stay.

Hot Tubs

For the comfort of other holidays guests we request that noise is kept to a minimum. Usage of the hot tub is between 10am and 10pm only. If you are found to breach these timings then you may be asked to vacate the park with no call for a refund.

All hot tubs are maintained to strict industry standards and HSE guidelines by separate qualified independent contractors on behalf of the property owners. This includes changing the water between guest stays and checking the water condition on a regular basis.

Whilst every effort is made to have a hot tub ready for immediate use by the arrival time stated, this may not always be possible. In such cases the hot tub will usually be ready to use later that day unless otherwise advised. In such cases no compensation or refund is payable unless the hot tub is faulty.

Information about using a hot tub safely is provided at all lodges with a hot tub and on a prominent notice near the tub. All hot tub users should wear an appropriate bathing suit. Usage of a hot tub is at a guests own risk and Lake District Lodge Holidays accepts no liability for anything which may happen to a guest as a direct result of using a hot tub.
