  • "We are both disabled ex-walkers, we found the facilities not very accessible, there is not enough disabled parking for the bar/restaurant etc."

    The lodge was lovely but we had hiccups with TVs, There is a poor selection of freeview channels, we had trouble with the main TV freezing many times and had to change the batteries in the remote. We found the seating really low and uncomfortable and hard to get up from, without a struggle. The cleaning equipment was left dirty, the hoover was full, brushes full of hair, shovel dirty etc. Door mat was matted with dog hair, and the bed settee was filthy and littered underneath. We had a nice time, but did expect a little better considering the cost.

    Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry you had trouble with the TVs, this has never been raised before but I'll get it looked into. The sofabed, loveseat and chair were bought only a couple of years ago. I'm sorry you found them too low and uncomfortable. I will raise the cleaning issues with the cleaner, my apologies for this.

  • "Lovely location and central to everywhere."

    The on site pub wasnt that nice and overpriced. It seemed to need some updating. Cabin was lovely, with excellent bathroom and kitchen facilities. The beds were so comfy, with excellent quality bedding, we wanted to sleep in! Only downside was that the mugs in the cupboard had ring marks inside, the slate table mats were dirty and the remote control for the TV was dirty and sticky and the cooker hood really dusty. The cute little stool in the living room collapsed as soon as I pulled it towards me to elevate my sore knee, but previous guests may not of flagged this. I managed to screw the screw back in as much as I could with a knife, but it needs attention. I think it would be helpful if there was a an enclosed dog walking section, so that we could let our dogs off lead. Although the park is dog friendly, we appreciated that the dogs needed to be on a lead around the cabins, but the dogs had to be on lead in the dog friendly field zone? Our overall stay was nice and the outdoor chairs comfortable and relaxing decking. Lovely and quite park too and enjoyed the jets going over low in the sky too :-)

    Thank you so much for your feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. I'm so sorry there were issues with the cleaning, I have raised these with the cleaner. The stool has now been fully mended, thanks for highlighting it. The onsite pub and dog field are owned by the park so I will forward your feedback on to them. I agree about needing a secure dog field and it's something the owners have been requesting for a while. I'm hoping this will change in the future. I look forward to welcoming you back, Jo (& Charley) Property Owner

  • "Rambler's rest, very good and could be made better by: attending to patio doors, these are misaligned, l/h door looking from inside can be closed and locked with a little difficulty."

    r/h door can be closed but not locked, so the lodge is insecure. plus the windows, inside and out, could do with regular cleaning

    Thank you for your feedback and glad you enjoyed your time at Ramblers' Rest. Unfortunately, the sticking of the patio doors is a common problem with lodges, due to the expansion and contraction related to heat. They are regularly checked and adjusted, but I'll make sure they are looked at again. The windows are cleaned externally twice per month. I'll follow up with the cleaner about the inside of the windows. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Property Owner

Lodge was ideal especially with the ensuite shower bathroom in the main bedroom as well as the main bathroom as we had 4 adults staying.

    The lodge although smaller than previous lodges we have stayed in is very cosy and probably the best equipped.

Despite the cold weather the lodge was lovely and warm, which is an important factor when travelling with my elderly mother. The only point for improvement would be to look at changing the mattress in the double room and some better pillows as this was not the most comfortable.

    The lodge was well equipped and was warm and cozy. Great that the lodge had wifi and loads of TV channels. The kitchen had everything we needed. Although the lodge was clean enough, it could do with a deep clean. Very dusty on the shelf above the bed, mold around taps and bottom of shower screen and oven needs a clean, etc. All was great apart from the lodge needs cleaning properly (not just a quick clean, ready for the next guests). It was as though the season had come to an end. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Location and being able to relax quietly with wifi and tv in the evenings. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Take a walk to Windermere from the lodge

    Mrs Sophie RobinsonNov 2017

  • "Last minute opportunity for a 4 day break after having recently lost our older Westie , Maggie, who was blind and did not adopt to strange environments very well ."

    The place was pet friendly and ideal for our other little Westie , Poppy , so we took a lovely , relaxing "family" break together . We took our own , but there was even a dog bed and throws provided - this was the only evidence that there had been pets as the lodge was immaculate in all areas . Ideal location , central on site , walking distance from Hay barn pub . Lovely glass frontage in lodge and side windows giving lots of light and impressive views . (Unfortunately the weather was not kind enough to use the outside seating area but would be ideal in drier spells ) . The lodge was very well equipped , decent w-fi reception , 3 x TV's and even a games console any kids ! Lovely comfortable base to use and only 10 minutes drive from either Bowness or Ambleside - although the narrow lanes and lack of footpaths do not favour walking anywhere . Already looking to re-book longer for 2018 , can't wait . What did you enjoy most about your stay? Proximity to everything nearby and well run site . What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Lakeland Distillery - fascinating , recommend booking in advance for a tour - just north of Keswick .

  • "A couple of things tea coffee sugar cannister would make it better foil for oven trays left enough washing up liquid for about 2 washes on arrival we was early and went into office to get fob for gate to be informed we couldn't have it until 2 of clock which we sat outside and waited said we could go through and the hay barn would be open for food and drinks as we could not go into lodge while 3 on arrival at haybarn it was shut and informed by someone in another log cabin it did not open while 5 so we drove round to our cabin to then realise that reception had kept our booking form with our code on to get key so then we had to go back to reception for form on which I informed them that we could not get food or drink and I got quite an abrupt response and when they phoned haybarn the lady on reception was told it was shut on which no apology followed also on picture of ramblers rest it is quite misleading it looks as though it is set with lots of parking and by its self I could just get my car on never mind 2."

    A 10min drive from Windermere. Lodge was modern, clean and very well equipped- impressed with the large en-suite and decent shower!

Facilities for kids included play park, football pitch, horse riding centre on site, stream for splashing about in and a games area at the family Haybarn Pub (pool table, darts, board games for all ages, PlayStation, some amusement and Sky TV) A lovely large fenced off area safe for letting your dogs off the lead and run around for some well deserved fun too! Lots of beautiful walks and areas to explore. Maps and details of specific walks available at the Haybarn. Overall well impressed and hope to return to explore more of this gorgeous area!

  • "The lodge had not been cleaned prior to our arrival."

    In addition to crumbs and surfaces not wiped . The dishwasher had not been emptied the beds had not been changed - they had dirty linen on them, the towels were wet and lying on the floor. The reception staff were helpful in contacting the people responsible for cleaning the lodge. The response was prompt - we had people cleaning the lodge half an hour after the phone call - this was 8:30 on a Friday night. From this point onwards our stay was very good . The lodge was comfortable the location is great and the person responsible for the cleaning staff came round in the morning to make sure we were satisfied. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The Limefitt Park location and the comfortable lodge. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Ullswater steamer to Howtown and walk back to Glenridding.

    Mr George TennantOct 2016

  • "I booked this lodge for my myself, my partner and our dog."

    Situated on a excellent park in the trout beck valley this lodge was very clean, spacious and met all our needs and dog friendly which was the deciding factor. The park was very tidy, clean , safe and secure and very quiet and peaceful. The park has every thing you could need including a pub ( never went in so cannot comment on that ). Would definitely return to Lime Fitt Park and the ramblers rest. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Location of Lime Fitt Park was perfect to access all major attractions. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Bowness was a nice town (although a bit busy) and for dog walkers Grizedale Forest has some excellent walks.

    Miss Linda MorrisonJul 2016

  • "Always have a lovely peaceful time when visiting Ramblers Rest."

    It is important that we take our dog Millie with us as it is as much a holiday for her as it is us We have visited this lodge on a few occasions, Winter when the snow was on the ground, Summer and had beautiful weather. Will be sure to visit again. Tried the pub on site this time and had a lovely welcome. Millie loved it too. Our grandchildren loved the adventure playground. 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? Keswick, Fell Foot Park.

    Mrs Janet CowellJul 2016

  • "I think it is important to clarify we had an amazing holiday and would definitely return to this holiday park."

    The facilities were brilliant, the pub served nice pub grub, on par with a good Weatherspoons, the staff were all very friendly there and at the office/site shop. They were very accommodating for our dog, it was strange being able to take her into the bar whilst we had a meal, fortunately it was out of school holidays so was quiet enough for her to settle. The dog exercise field was bigger than I thought so she could get a good run around. There are some lovely walks all around the site, truly beautiful scenery. The site is only a short drive from Bowness which has some nice shops and cafes. You can get the ferry to Ambleside which is also very pretty. It is 5 mins in the car to Brockhole where there is a fantastic adventure playground and old house to explore, as well as the Tree Top Trekking which is a must for the more adventurous. BUT. When we arrived at our lodge we were really impressed, it looked fab and it had its own router so my litter boy was over the moon he could watch netflix! It has all the mod-cons, really nice outside space, lovely decor, comfy beds, powerful showers etc etc. However when we started up-packing we found the kitchen surfaces, handles, cutlery, pans etc to be a bit grubby. The cushions on the settee had some food stains on and the tv/dvd player were dusty. There was an old toothbrush under the dining room table and a manky hair clip on the kitchen bench. The bin in the bathroom hadn't been changed either and was full of sanitary products which really spoiled our initial impression on the lodge, especially as I was expecting 5*. After the bathroom bin pushed me over the edge I rang the staff at Lake District Holidays and they couldn't have been more apologetic. We decided to go out for an explore and when we returned the bin in the bathroom had been emptied. Obviously you want to make the best of it so after a quick clean and wash up in the kitchen everything was fine and we went on the have an amazing holiday. I am grateful to the staff at the office who dealt with the matter so quickly. It hasn't marred our impression of the holiday park or the holiday company and we would thoroughly recommend anyone to book a holiday at Limefitt. But we wouldn't stay in that particular lodge again, not down to its facilities which were great, but the cleaning of it really let it down. I would go on to say though, that looking in the visitor book a lot of people mentioned they found it to be spotless so maybe we were just unlucky on that front. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Location and park facilities What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Tree Top Trekking

    Mr Antony DinningJun 2016

  • "We stayed for a short weekend break in June."

    We were lucky enough to stay in Ramblers Rest a well appointed and very well equipped log cabin. The park was extremely peaceful and only a short drive away from Windermere. We will certainly look to return to the park for a longer stay and would highly recommend the park to anyone looking for a peaceful get away. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Peacful location with easy access to Windermere and surrounding area; well appointed Lodge with excellent home comforts What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Windermere Cruise

    Mrs Dorothy ArmstrongJun 2016

  • "Ramblers Rest is a lovely, clean and home from home cabin."

    It has everything you need for a relaxing break. Our 12 year old son loved the TV in his bedroom and that he could get wifi on his laptop when we were not out exploring! The site is in a perfect location, very friendly staff in Reception/Shop and all the Lakes are within easy reach. We booked the weekend special (from Friday 3pm to Sunday 5pm) and it gave us that extra time to explore without the rush to leave on the Sunday. We really enjoyed our stay and are thinking of coming back for longer next year. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Lovely cabin on a great site in a beautiful location What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? We went to Pooley Bridge at Ullswater for a walk/lunch, had a lovely day. We can recomend The Pooley Bridge Inn for lunch, it has a lovely courtyard at the back.

    Ms Deborah HoganJun 2016

  • "Whilst we had pleasant stay for most of our time at Ramblers Rest an incident on the first day overshadowed things for us."

    Neither bathroom is fitted with a grab rail and of the original bathmats supplied upon our arrival, one didn't have any rubber backing, and the other was a smaller mat with rubber backing but horribly creased. My 83 mother tripped on the creased up mat and slipped on the wet tile floor, and it was only good luck that she managed to stop herself from having a serious fall. I spoke to the letting company, who were very apologetic and supplied new mats the same day. Honestly couldn't fault their response. I do however feel the cabin needs grab rails fitting in both bathrooms. Water, tile and soap is a potential lethal combination and fitting some basic safety equipment that fits in with decor that doesn't have to look out of place with the decor is an easy thing to do.

    Ideal for families and dogs. Site is in a good location near Ambleside and Bowness. Pub and shop on site with a small play area and dog field. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Homely feeling of the lodge. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Treetops @ Brockhole

    Miss Karen StottApr 2016

  • "I took my wife, 3 year old son and pet dog rocky to Ramblers Rest on the week commencing the 28th March for 5 days and it was superb."

    The lodge itself is very clean, comfortable and well presented and has very good WiFi installed. The views are spectacular and change every ten minutes. The park itself is really nice and quiet, has a dog walking field, children's play area, convenient shop and a great pub converted from an old barn. I also used the leisure club which was included as part of the price twice and the facilities are superb with very modern gym equipment, a small pool, Jacuzzi, steam room and sauna. I can't imagine a better base to explore the South Lakes, 3 miles from Windermere, Grasmere, Ambleside and Ullswater all within a short drive. We would like to go back in the Summer. My only criticism of the park is that the food service in the pub was painfully slow on two occasions. 9/10 What did you enjoy most about your stay? The views, relaxation and the fresh air plus some really good wine purchased in Windermere. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Catch a boat from Ambleside to Bowness, have lunch and a boat back, the views are breathtaking

    Mr Matthew NewmanApr 2016

  • "Love this little lodge idea for the two of us including the dog, Very comfortable would highly recommend to all."

    ... We will be back soon hopefully later in the year.

    Mrs Maureen LiveleyMar 2016

  • "On our arrival at Limefitt, the very first impression we got was of a very clean and tidy picturesque 'little village'."

    On our check in, we were welcomed by the park's very polite and efficient staff who soon had us on our way to Ramblers Rest. On our arrival at the lodge, we were bowled over by such a pretty, clean and tidy cabin, with all of the comforts of home ( and as we had been lucky with the weather, we were soon sat outside on the patio ). During our stay, we visited the Haybarn pub on the site where once again we were greeted by very friendly and polite staff, and again we were very impressed by the cleanliness of the pub. All in all, we had a VERY enjoyable stay on such a very beautiful and friendly site, and we will most definitely visit again, and will be highly recommending Limefitt Park to family and friends. Thank you for a wonderful break. Best Regards, Linda & Warren Brickles. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The pure luxury of the site and of course Ramblers Rest. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? We could not have stayed, without our visit to Bowness and the lake.

    Mr Warren BricklesMar 2016

  • "We have stayed on this site before and loved it."

    this lodge is definitely better than the previous one. Our only complaint this time was the comfort of the sofa and double bed. the sofa was actually a sofa bed which I think is why it was uncomfortable. The double bed we didn't find terribly comfortable either. We weren't getting alot of sleep so in the end we decided to leave a day early. I would fully recommend the site though. What did you enjoy most about your stay? walking the dog What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? sightseeing in general. grasmere and the gingerbread shop.

    Mr Stephen BenthamMar 2016

    Mr James RobertsJul 2015

  • "Just enjoyed our second stay at Ramblers Rest."

    Our 4 night midweek break was as enjoyable as the first time. In fact I wish we had booked for the full week. The lodge was excellent and the site (Limefitt Park) was ideal as a base for exploring the Lakes. The exclusive internet router in the lodge was icing on the cake. The on-site facilities were good:- refuse bins were cleared regularly, grass and plants well maintained, reception shop provided basics and the excellent Hay Barn was open every evening providing very good food and drinks. Another enjoyable stay with Lakeland Lodges, we will return! What did you enjoy most about your stay? We enjoyed the whole package. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? We have been to the Lakes many times, we enjoy them for what they are.

  • "A lovely 4 day break in Ramblers Rest with our 11 year old grandson."

    Alittle word about mobile phone coverage,we could not get a signal or make or receive calls however we were able to use our tablets,I pads etc to use the Internet. Our grans on absolutely loved it and we introduced him to the high finance world of monopoly during the rainy periods.We visited the on site pub for an evening meal/snack and found it perfectly satisfactory. We also walked to the Mortal Man pub which takes around 15/20 minutes via the track next to the church 2 minutes from the entrance to the park.The football field was well used by my grand son and myself during our stay and I'm still feeling the effects.All in all a really good four day break and I must praise the booking agents for retrieving my camera which I left in a bag in a cupboard and forwarding on to me What did you enjoy most about your stay? The well looked after park and facilties for kids What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Tennis at Ambleside

    Mr Colin ThompsonJun 2015

  • "Accommodation fine for a short break and park lovely."

    couple of points for owners to note. the towels all smelt smoky / musty - like they'd been in the house of a smoker. also the cooker was very difficult to use and burnt everything we tried to cook. terrace was lovely and the extra tv's in the bedrooms and kids videos was great as my little boy got to relax after a hectic day out, was a novelty for him as we don't have tvs in bedrooms at home. we unusually got to watch grown up tv!

    What did you enjoy most about your stay? Long walks & quiet park What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Grassmere walks

    Mrs Susan WilliamsJun 2015

  • "A very well located lodge in an excellent park that is open to the fells and easy to acces."

    The lodge was cosy, comfortable and very well-equipped. The only minor issue being some rather uncomfortable dining chairs. We liked the site, as it was dog friendly and worked well in this respect, but also it was quiet and never felt 'busy' despite what must have been full occupancy on site. The pub facility served excellent real ale- though we did not try the food and can't comment, it certainly had a nice atmosphere and garden. Overall, a better than expected stay, helped undoubtedly by excellent weather. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Weather- opportunity to walk from lodge What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Long walk over the high fells adjoining site.

    Mr Bill SodenApr 2015

  • "Ramblers Rest is a lovely lodge and very well kept."

    It is extremely clean and has all the modern conveniences to ensure a pleasurable stay. Our dogs had a great time and loved looking out of the window at their friends passing by, including the occasional rabbit! They loved to run round the nearby dog field, even though it was rather flooded! The only thing to mar our stay was the weather! Although we guess that this is to be expected in the Lakes! All in all an enjoyable stay! What did you enjoy most about your stay? The warmth and comfort of the lodge What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The coffee shops in Windermere!

  • "While the overall cleanliness was very good when we arrived we did find a wax crayon and a childs sock sliding down the back of a radiator which was on because it was cold when we arrived ."

    The next day we opened the oven to heat something and found it was extremely greasy and dirty so much so i refused to use it. We removed a cushion on the sofa to plump it up and found approx 1/2 a tub of popcorn round the edge under the seat these last two incidents were very off putting and made us think that while everthink looked clean on the surface they were not deep clean . WE DO NOT BLAME THE OWNERS WE BLAME THE CLEANERS.apart from these incidents everything was very good and we would return What did you enjoy most about your stay? peace and quiet .and location What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? a trip over on the car ferry and a drive south to motor museum.

Serve dinner at the dining table before tuning into the Smart TV in search of your favorite shows, all while the subtle warmth of the electric fire aids relaxation.

As you tire, head to the bedrooms to catch your rest, offering a double with en-suite shower and a twin, both fitted with storage units and TVs so you can continue your shows to bed.

A pleasant bathroom rounds up the interior, with a bath and shower over, providing lazy soaks and refreshing rinses as you wish.
