  • "I was surprised by how well it was fitted out, the kitchen is really well stocked with everything you could need."

    It is beautiful and extremely comfortable, I would happily recommend it to anyone and would go back there knowing it would be a magical experience. On our last day looking out over the fields we saw a deer grazing. The site is also well maintained and the staff are very friendly.

  • "Parking is ample, several steps gains access to property, and a very large decking area, which the pictures dont give justice to it , decking floor and structure is excellent, which as a large glass section to view the stream that runs past, outside furniture is excellent."

    Lodge inside is amazing very clean, modern and everything you would need , just like home. There is also a washer/dryer which is not mention in lodge description. I've stayed in many lodges over 15years and this is by far the best. On the 1st day we booked for September 2025, it's that good. Absolute credit to the owners

    Dogs loved it, 2 Chow Chows, one 6 years old and the other 12 mths old, there was plenty of space for both of them. They loved the decking and the glass fence, saw 2 otters and 2 ducks swimming along of river, it was the baby dog that alerted us of the otters. Would definitely book again.

    It must have the best position on the park, overlooking the stream below and open fields in front. Lodge was very comfortable, cosy and well equipped. Comfy beds, great showers and a beautiful deck with outdoor furniture that we all napped on at one time or another during our stay! We found some easy and some challenging walks from the park, we took the walkers boat tickets from the pier at Ambleside and enjoyed a lovely walk down the west side of Windermere. The Kirkstone Pass down to Glenridding is a lovely drive and Keswick and Bowness are both nice towns to wander around. All in all a very pleasant week, we hope to be back one day.

    Thank you for the review, Steve. Whilst pleased you enjoyed the location we are sorry to hear the lodge was not quite to your liking. Noting your concerns with the decking, it is cleaned on a regular basis and since your stay it has been cleared of all debris and pressure washed. As with all decking areas, in Autumn, the leaves fall and along with the rain can make them slippy. We do advise guests to tread carefully for this reason. Jinnyspinner is a traditional pine lodge that offers cosy accommodation in a desirable riverside location. Although this lodge is not quite to your taste, for many it is a welcoming retreat and a superb location for walking. Thank you for letting us know of your lodge experience and we do hope you will visit the Lakes again soon. Property Owner

    We're stayed in this lodge a number of times over the last few years and always enjoyed our stays, but we have noticed that the last two times we have been disappointed with certain things i.e bed linen in double room past its best, one of the pillowcases badly ripped, also no pillows protectors, mattress protector does not fit the bed and also ripped. In the kitchen the tea towel provided was badly stained on arrival.

Scenery and local walks. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Any of the lakes boat tours, beautiful scenery and very relaxing.

    ...a beautiful balcony overlooking a river...perfect location!! Jinny spinner lodge itself was a beautiful and cosy hideaway. My 3 children and our dogs all had a fantastic time. Superb location.

    Thank you for the review, Margaret. We take on board all you have said and we apologise that your stay was not to your satisfaction. This is certainly not something we like to hear. Given that the issues raised have clearly impacted on your stay we find it surprising that you did not contact us at the time. In doing so we would have rectified all these for you. As we were not made aware we can only say sorry and apologise for any inconvenience caused. We will assess the lodge for any maintenance issues and address accordingly. Furthermore, we will pass on your comments to the lodge owners for their reference. Whilst we are sorry to hear this lodge was not for you, Jinnyspinner is enjoyed by many and is hugely popular for those looking for a traditional log cabin with a riverside setting, the views are simply magnificent. A very cosy and peaceful holiday retreat. Property Owner

  • "We stayed in Limefitt Park last year and enjoyed it so much that we booked Jinnyspinner this year."

    The park is only a short ride to Windermere/Bowness and is very quiet, even in the evenings. The ferry across Windermere was not in service while we were here but you can still manage to cross the Lake by launch for a relaxing walk to Wray Castle (about 41/2 miles each way). In Bowness visit the Chocobar caf What did you enjoy most about your stay? The Lodge had everything needed and the walks showed the beautiful Lakes. The weather helped by being brilliant. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The walk alongside Lake Windermere, as it is an easy walk for anyone.

    Mr Ian BattersbyJul 2018

  • "The lodge felt tired in decor and found clumps of hair in the bedsheets and on the floor."

    It really felt as if it needed a good, deep clean. The location and outside space...fantastic. My son scalded his arm on the hot pipework in the ensuite shower too. What did you enjoy most about your stay? location What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? walking

    Thank you for writing a review of your recent stay at Jinnyspinner. We are sorry you felt the lodge was tired inside. It is an older, traditional lodge with modern decor which complements the interior and adds to the cosy, cabin style and feel. This is something most guests like about staying there. It is most unusual to get comments about the standard of cleanliness and we will pass these on to the independent cleaner who prepares the lodge. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. Similarly we haven't had any comments about the combined towel rail/radiator in the ensuite being very hot to touch and we are sorry your son touched this. We will add a small notice to make guests aware that it can get hot. Jinnyspinner is a popular, traditional lodge which enjoys a lovely location in a quiet part of Limefitt right by the water.

  • "Myself my husband and our 2 dogs stayed here at Jinnyspinner lodge for a weekend, what can I say ."

    . absolutely beautiful, we loved every minute of our stay the lodge is so lovely and the decking is fantastic with a view over the river. The club is brilliant with lovely food too , first time we have taken our dogs in pubs and it was good they made them very welcome. Can't wait to come back What did you enjoy most about your stay?

  • "Third time back to jinnyspinner and we love it ."

    On arrival the lodge was immaculate and heating and lamps were on giving a lovley cosy vibe . Weather was a bit mixed but we still sat outside on the wonderful balcony admiring the views and listening to the bubbling brook beneath us . The dogs love the balcony and the glass panels , enabling them to sit and watch the river flow . We saw a water weasel one morning which was lovley. Jinny could do with a new hoover and a long handled brush and pan for the kitchen so guests can keep her nice and clean . The decking gets very skippy when wet so maybe a sign on the gate would be beneficial. The location of the lodge is fantastic. The camp is only a few mins drive to Windermere which is where the shops are. Jinnyspinner is like an old friend to us and we hope to return again soon . Xx What did you enjoy most about your stay? Sitting outside enjoying the sound of the river . What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Beatrice potter hill top cottage

    Thank you for the lovely review, Joanne. We are delighted to hear that you had another enjoyable stay at this fabulous lodge. A traditional log cabin with a riverside setting. Where better for a relaxing holiday in the lake district? Thank you for bringing a couple of things to our attention, we will make sure these are checked and addressed. Jinnyspinner lodge is cosy and warm and with beautiful views towards the fells. A wonderful place to stay time and time again. Property Owner

  • "Quite disappointed , on arrival we received a telephone call to say that the cleaner was running late and that the lodge would not be ready for another half hour."

    At the moment of receiving the call we had just arrived on site for our 6th visit. We brought along our 2 Cocker Spaniels, who realising where they were, got very excited and had to be taken out of the car and walked around for the half hour. The cleaner did apologise, and we realise that it wasn't her fault, maybe her total workload is too much for the time allocated?? When we accessed the lodge everywhere was clean, and my wife decided to make a brew. When she looked in the cupboard there was only one cup! On searching round we found the rest, with various other crockery/cutlery items still in the dishwasher!! Unfortunately one cup had been put in the wrong way round and was full of water, when the cup was moved all the water spilled on the floor which of course had to be cleaned up!! Overall the lodge was what we expected and up to its usual standard, and we totally enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately there was also an issue with the sewerage system to the whole site, and a large pumping machine and tractor had to use the parking area for the lodge. The operatives were there all day whilst we were out and still there on our return! They were very courteous and full of apologies and left site around 7.30pm. Maybe we were just a bit unlucky on this visit, but overall enjoyable as usual. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The Lake District as a whole & the lodge location What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Everwhere

    Thank you for your review, Graham. We note your disappointment and apologise that the lodge was not ready for when you arrived. Whilst we are confident it was a one off we have also taken steps to ensure it will not happen in the future. We further apologise for the inconvenience caused by contractors using the allocated parking space for a day. Occasionally it is necessary for various works to be carried out on the Park and had we known we would have notified you with a suitable alternative. Jinnyspinner is a traditional log cabin with a riverside setting. Cosy and full of charm, a lovely place to relax and unwind. We will be delighted to welcome you for another stay in the near future.

  • "My wife and I decided to stay at the Jinnyspinner lodge based off of other people's reviews and we were not disappointed."

    The lodge was warm, inviting and clean when we arrived. Situated right on the bank of a stream called The Trout Beck, it looked almost idyllic. Location was excellent with everywhere within a 5-10 minute drive. We will definitely be staying here again in the near future. What did you enjoy most about your stay?

  • "The lodge probably has the best location on the park and is well placed to access this side of the Lake District."

    Inside provided plenty of space for a family including 2 children and a big dog. Warm and cosy for autumn and a great deck for the summer, that will be private even at busy times in summer (unlike many of the lodges there). Why stay in a timber lodge in the Lakes that try What did you enjoy most about your stay? The scenery.....it?s the Lakes What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Get out walking, do at least one mountain, even a small one.

    Mr Richard MartinsonNov 2017

  • "We had an amazing time at Jinnyspinner."

    We have now stayed in a few different lodges managed by lake district lodge holidays and haven't been disappointed yet. On arrival the lodge was lovely and clean. The wooden interior would make it perfect for a Christmas stay. The outdoor area is beautiful and in the Summer it would be perfect for sitting outside with a glass of fizz. It is right by the beck - the water was so clear you could see the massive fish swimming below and we even saw deer in the field opposite. Our dog, Barney, had a fantastic time and enjoyed a run around the dog field on the park. We would definitely recommend booking with Lake District Lodge Holidays and would 100% stay at Jinnyspinner again. Thank you for a super holiday. Next time I think we'll look at booking for a week instead of only a few days. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Family time, peace and tranquillity. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Wandering around the park to see all the wildlife.

    Mrs Emma McdonnellNov 2017

  • "The lodge was still being cleaned when we arrived right on 3 o'clock but we only had to wait 5 minutes."

    The previous occupants had reported that there was a problem with the top two steps on the access stair and as we were unpacking one of the site staff arrived and replaced the faulty steps within 20 minutes, we had not even noticed that there was a problem. The lodge was clean, warm and had everything we could have wanted to enjoy our stay. We have stayed before on Limefitt but this is the first time in this particular Lodge and would not hesitate to book it again. Dog friendly pub on site is excellent and the staff are fantastic with both us and our dog, we were really made to feel at home there. The only negative we have about the park is the dog park which is always wet and not very appealing to take your dog to. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The walking and the relaxing location What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Walks

    Mr Tony CallaghanNov 2017

  • "Another visit to JinnySpinner, just as cosy,lodge might not be as modern as others we have stayed in, but it's in a superb position by the river, probably the best in the park."

    Lodge would still benefit from having a washing machine. Limefitt is a lovely park, but it would be greatly improved by replacing The Haybarn with a much better pub.

    We were very lucky not to be affected by the dreadful floods in other areas not that far away. We managed a walk to Ambleside and back on Christmas eve without getting wet! Lodge very well equipped, clean and comfortable. The Christmas lights and tree were an added bonus. We must have had the best position on Limefitt next to the beck. Overall a very enjoyable stay, hope to be back.

    The cabin is comfortable and homely and in an amazing spot in the park, beautifully quiet apart from the sound of the river, which we love! Wake up to a heron fishing in the river, spend the day walking or catching fish in your net down at the river pool (where my children played for hours), watch the bats at dusk and if you're lucky - as we were this time - watch a badger from the cabin windows! The staff on the park are extremely friendly and helpful and the cabin is well-appointed and practical with plenty of hot water to ease aching muscles. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Our challenge this time was Scafell Pike (with 8 and 11 year olds) so we were pretty chuffed with that! What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests?

    We booked the Jennyspinner Lodge (one of the older lodges) and right next to the river. It was cosy which was just as well as it rained for the entire duration of our weekend stay. The beds were very comfortable and its location next to the river and far from the entrance and bar meant that it was very quiet. We used the car to get out and about except on the Sunday evening when we walked to the Mortal Man for a huge and delicious dinner. We used the shop and found it stocked most of what we needed. All in all a very easy and relaxing weekend. What did you enjoy most about your stay?

  • "Our first impressions were great."

    Position of lodge on site is excellent: beside the beck and in a corner. Lovely daffodils and trees. The inside of the lodge appeared clean and modern. Howevere we discovered mouse droppings behind the microwave, then on the floor in several places. We appreciate that we are in the countyside but the lodge was supposed to be inspected before we arrived. When checking for more droppings, we found that underneath the bunk beds was filthy. Later we found that the 2 single beds looked like they had been slept in i.e. hairs and fluff. When we called the helpline, a person arrived very quickly and cleaned the lodge thoroughly. He was polite and friendly. Later that day, we discovered that if we had the dishwasher on, the electricity kept going off. We eventually found the outside box and used a knife to get into it as there was no screwdriver provided! We did not want to complain anymore so decided not to use the dishwasher any more. This was not a hardship but had been one of th factors when booking the lodge. Overall we had a fantastic stay and these were minor niggles that were sorted out quickly. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Spending time with family in beautiful surroundings. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Outside hot tub at Low Wood Hotel! Great view of lake.

  • "Had a wonderful weekend."

    All 6 of us enjoyed it. I do want to re book just haven't got around to it and will hopefully in the next 2 weeks. Great location next to the river. Central heating was great. Only down side for us is that we all smoke. Smoking on the viranda outside we got soaked as there was no cover in this cabin, and it rained a lot. A nice heated area would make us come back every week and would make a difference, or definitely some shelter. Thanks for making the cabin nice and clean and warm. What did you enjoy most about your stay? That it was quiet What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Walk into trout beck village

    Thank you for reviewing your recent stay at Jinnyspinner Lodge and delighted to see that you rated all aspects of your stay as 5 out of 5. Sorry that you caught some typical Lake District weather which impacted on you being able to enjoy your smoking outside the lodge. Jinnyspinner is a lovely traditional log cabin which becomes very cosy and warm as we move into the colder times of year. Property Owner

    Miss Chantel WoodheadOct 2014

  • "We enjoyed our stay at jinny spinner its location perfect."

    Double bed needs changing and pillows so hard so didn't sleep well but overall lodge well equipped. 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? Stunning scenery all around

    Thank you for your review, Tina. It is difficult to get a balance on beds, mattresses and pillows as this a personal choice - we are sorry that this wasn't best for you. The lodge is of an older traditional style but fully equipped and with all mod cons for a self catering break. As you mention that the location was the thing you enjoyed most about your stay, we presume that your 1 out of 5 rating for this was recorded in error. The beautiful riverside location is what everybody loves about Jinnyspinner Lodge. Property Owner

    Mrs Tina AldwinckleSep 2014

    Mr Stuart BurtonSep 2014

  • "This is a beautiful Lodge in a beautiful setting."

    The balcony overlooking the beck was exceptional, and there was lots of wildlife visitors. Just a couple of minor points, the pillows were rather hard and uncomfortable, and a BT Hub with a half decent broadband connection wouldn't go amiss. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The location, & the weather What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Fell foot park on a good day, Hawkeshead is very nice.

    Thank you for your very kind review, Graham. Pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay at Jinnyspinner Lodge. Bedding can be a personal choice and we are sorry that this wasn't the best for you. We know (and inform our guests as such) that the park hasn't got the best wifi because of it's location and the terrain and although some of our lodges have their own broadband connection there is no capacity at present to extending the phone infrastructure to Jinnyspinner. Despite these it's great that you rated your stay as 5 out of 5 on all aspects. Property Owner

  • "Best location on the park I'd say, totally relaxing and looking to visit again before the year is out."

    The lodge was really well equipped, beds super comfortable, and overall quite spacious. The hay barn was pretty good on site for food, only slight negatives were that the barbeque was "tired" so we decided not to use it, and there were dark presumably pet hairs in the carpet in the lounge, only Made visible when walked on...it had not been properly hoovered. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Great location of the lodge, and the peace and quiet. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Alcock Tarn walk which starts from the white swan in Grasmere.

    Mr Paul DonaldsonJul 2014

  • "Thank you for providing a perfect break."

    Site was very clean. Jinnyspinner Lodge is just delightful and perfect. Great location for walks............. What did you enjoy most about your stay?

  • "What a lovely place, the location is stunning and the location is great!"

    The addition of the use of the low wood health center and the pub on site makes it a real gem. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Accomidation, location and facilities What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Too many to answer
