"On the plus side we had good weather so we didn’t have to spend much time in the lodge & the hot tub was lovely."
Unfortunately the negative’s were far more…. In a nutshell the lodge needs a FULL refurbishment, it’s in dreadful condition. Having read some of the reviews before we went I was rather concerned but thought that surly the problems would have been sorted , how wrong was I. No leg’s on one of the settee’s is absolutely unacceptable as was the mould in the shower/bath, kitchen units fully scratched, sliding wardrobe didn’t work , my husband had to fix it! . Obviously the previous reviews have NOT been taken into consideration. It’s such a shame because it could be lovely if refurbishment were to happen. We Will not return .
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback.
We are sorry to hear that the lodge did not meet your expectations.
We take all comments on board, and these will be passed on to the relevant teams. We would like to add that had we been made aware during your stay, we could have attended to resolve some of the issues.

"Whilst the lodge is clean it has shown a marked increase in wear and tear since we last stayed here."
A sofa with no legs for instances isn’t really acceptable. Kitchen units all show wear and tear no grill shelf for the oven, a broken cheese grater, no light in the fridge, bathroom door handle in need of a permanent repair, bathroom sink with an almost blocked drain, signs of mould, marked bath from removed antislip mats. Wardrobe doors that don’t slide. Individually all are understandable but collectively were a little disappointing.

"Good location and a nice spot on the park - quiet and private."
Inside was fine, clean and tidy and nice and warm when we arrived and the hot tub was on and ready to use too which was great. We appreciated provision of things like bin bags and hand wash and hairdryer etc. We were just disappointed with the bedding - the sheet on my son’s bed was really bobbly and uncomfortable to sleep on, we managed by turning it inside out which he found bearable. The duvet covers on all beds were sadly quite scratchy and the duvets themselves quite thick so we were all a bit hot. Coupled with the trickling in the radiators (despite turning thermostat down) and the noisy pumping of the hot tub (we even downloaded the manual online to try to work out how to stop it) we didn’t get the best sleep which sadly marred the stay somewhat. For the price we paid I think it would have been reasonable to have expected some nicer quality sheets and bedding really but overall a great spot on a very nice park with lovely views, nice play area and good pub. Do note that the shop is really tiny so if cooking probably best to bring some provisions.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are pleased to see that you had an enjoyable stay.

"It saddens me to write that me & my partner were extremely disappointed with this lodge ."
I had read some reviews prior to going that mentioned this particular lodge was a bit run down & that fixtures & fittings needed up dated , but thought these things would have been addressed since then & especially after lockdown & due to Covid .
On arrival the lodge did look a bit dilapidated in comparison to the surrounding lodges , the wood is rough looking & tired . The lodge itself inside also looked tired when entering , the windows had dirty smears over them as if they hadn’t been cleaned properly which made it look scruffy with the sun shining through .
Foam Packers from the side of the sofas were hanging out or on the floor - which I presume were meant to keep the covers in place .
On first impressions I would have expected a higher standard for the money which was £565 for the weekend.
The grill tray & oven were dirty & had not been cleaned . Glasses & cups were dirty also . There was severe mould , cobwebs & dust down the back of the double bed in the main bedroom which made the room feel damp .
All in all extremely upsetting that the lodge was not up to standard.
On a positive note the location was great & surrounding facilities and we were blessed with the weather .
We are local to the area & wanted to support local businesses after the last few years we’ve had to help the local economy get back on its feet , but sadly I’d not be returning to this lodge .
This is the second review I have wrote via this email link & I have not had any response or feedback which is frustrating.
I can forward some photos of the condition of the lodge that I have taken .
Look forward to your response

"I have to say after reading the reviews about Robin View lodge I was really not looking forward to our stay at all but booked anyway as there was little other choice available and the feedback responses seemed to indicate the owners planned on addressing the issues."
Initially I was pleasantly surprised, its not all that bad, it was really clean on arrival, more then adequate kitchen equipment, full sized fridge freezer, clean bedding, and towels and a lovely privately placed hot tub. (which we saw someone turn up to check 3 times during our stay) The lodge is in a great spot on the park and on a rainy day you can see and hear the beck which is nice. However, the things in the lodge that do let it down are the flooring, doors, radiators, fixtures and fittings are all in a really poor state and desperately need upgrading, the non slip stickers in the bath make it look really grubby which isn't a nice showering experience and the toilet seat doesn't fit the toilet properly.
I think if you're lucky enough to get a sunny week in the lake district then these things could possibly be overlooked but on a particularly wet week like ours, add in a family of 4's wet walking gear hanging out drying all over and it just felt far from cozy.
One good tip to anyone staying here, we took a bath mat to place at the bedroom door leading to the hot tub area....stopped the kids trailing water right through the lodge after getting out. You would also benefit from taking a clothes airer if you can, there are limited places to dry wet clothes and towels and the airer there is an over door one except there's not enough room to actually hang one.
all in all not a terrible stay but I think for us as a family of 4 we need to stick to the larger lodges for future bookings :-)
Thank you for your feedback. Please note that the owners are doing work on the property over the next few months. We apologies if this affected your stay and we look forward to welcoming you back.

"We stay at Limefitt every year as we love the site, the Haybarn Inn and the local walks etc."
Unfortunately the lodge let it down on this occasion purely on the lack of cleanliness and late check in time of 4pm. I did ask if we could check in early and was advised due to additional cleaning and Covid this wouldn't be guaranteed so I expected the lodge to be immaculate. 6hrs is allowed for cleaning between departing guests and new guests arriving (10am - 4pm). We therefore felt really let down when:- the oven was dirty with grease filled trays, the bedroom wardrobe top shelf was absolutely caked in dirt and dust, there was empty food packets down the side of one bed, a bra was left in the 2nd bedroom wardrobe and the bathroom door was swollen and warped and kept sticking until eventually the handle came loose which we then reported. So we are left wondering what was happening in the 6hrs allowed for cleaning? As we were meeting family throughout our stay, we didn't have time to complain and we didn't want to ruin our holiday further as the site itself and the location are beautiful. We ended up cleaning the lodge ourselves and it took 30mins between us (maybe 1hr if a more thorough clean was done). We have never before written a bad review and it saddens us to do it this time but at least it may allow for the issues to be put right. I would suggest a clean inspected lodge and even with a thorough clean the check in time could easily be 2pm or 3pm at the latest. Many thanks
Thank you for the review and we are so sorry to hear a number of things were not quite right for you. We shall certainly look into all you had said and speak with the cleaning company responsible.

This is practically fraud. The lodge is in very poor condition and needs updating and thoroughly renovating to bring it back to an acceptable standard. Some of the contents listed are not there, and the dvd player would not work. The lack of any instructions made it impossible to know why. The lounge and kitchen area are in particularly bad condition. The cooking utensils and equipment is very poor, no sieve, no milk pan, these are easy things and not expensive to fix.

The living room needs a larger TV and it said it had a Wii console which wasn’t there. There were also no cushions on the sofa which was uncomfortable. The Wi-Fi is the worst I have come across and we simply could not connect. There is a chrome cast in the TV but you cannot use due to the connection. The kitchen cupboards are peeling and need an update. There was no basics such as foil for cooking, hand soap and there was only 1 toilet roll. The bathroom seems to have been updated but they haven’t finished so the door and cabinet are very discoloured and need painting / updating! The toilet brush was also filthy. The bedroom is very small and the bed we found uncomfortable. The hot tub is nice but there was no instructions / equipment to clean it. For the price we paid I would expect something a little more high end but this is very basic. They could do a lot with it if they spent a little money and gave it some TLC but it feels it has been left as is for some time now.

"We have been to Limefitt several years in a row now as we love the remoteness, relaxation & country walks with our dog."
The Haybarn is a great place to unwind for a couple of drinks after a long day's walk & is even pet friendly.
I would like to see a review on leaving a well behaved dog on its own in the lodge, so potentially the adults could enjoy a stressfree romantic dinner.
This year we found that the surrounding areas were way too busy due to more staycations & therefore planned more car journeys out instead of going to Ambleside, Windermere & Bowness.
What did you enjoy most about your stay?
The remoteness, relaxation, dedicated Dog Field (although could we get a rock pool or water feature for dogs made in there?), rock pool (when it was not swarmed with kids/families) & of course the private HotTub.

"We had a nice stay."
However, we found little things that still needed addressing since we'd stayed in the lodge 18 months prior: The shower door leaks if the shower is at a certain angle and wets all of the floor. The stop between the bedrooms and kitchen is still broken. There were several cobwebs around the lodge too. Plus the quilt cover on the main bed doesn't have any poppers that work anymore, therefore it comes off the actual quilt. Last time we stayed we also had a welcome pack which wasn't there this time either.
We were slightly disappointed, as these little things make all the difference.

We didn't try the Haybarn (pub) on site but did read lots of positive reviews
The lodge its self was well presented and was spacious
I had read that there was a smell of dogs by one reviewer but that wasn't the case when we stayed The beds were comfy and nice bedding plenty of towels as well
The main selling point is the Hot tub that was a fabulous way to spend a few hours and the way the hot tub is placed it's very private

"Lovely lodge with the bonus of the hot tub."
The location of the lodge is perfect. Beautiful views of the river and hills.
Because the lodge is dog friendly it could benefit with leather sofas as the fabric ones were looking worn. Obviously dogs had been lying on them.
The pub on site is very welcoming and dog friendly.
Would definitely stay there again.

"We had the pleasure of staying at Robin View Lodge from the 23rd December for 5 days."
It's been the first time we have gone away for Christmas and it has been the best Christmas we have had me, my wife and our fur baby and my parents joined us on boxing day. The Lodge is cosey the sofas are comfortable the electric fire adds to the ambience. The hot tub was amazing and very private and considering it was over the holidays the guys still came round most mornings to clean it and check the levels etc.
We cooked a full Christmas dinner 2 days and the kitchen had all the equipment and utensils and everything we needed. It still felt Christmassy as the owner had a Christmas tree up.
Let's not forget the Haybarn Pub, dog friendly, log fires burning with amazing views and lovely friendly staff!!
We would love to spend every Christmas at Robin View Lodge.

"We stayed in the Robin View Lodge."
It was in a great location just a short walk from Windermere. On arrival the staff were really helpful and friendly. When entering the Lodge it seemed homely. It just seemed like it needed some TLC, chipped paint work and old towels. The bath mat was really dirty and there was animal hairs all over all the beds. Overall we had a lovely trip we didn't stay much in the Lodge as we were out walking all day and in the pub at night but maybe more time would have been spent in the Lodge if it was a little cleaner and modernised like displayed in the photos online. For the price we paid we would stay somewhere else next time as we didn't believe the price we paid reflected the Lodge's quality.

We needn't have worried though. The cabin was in a good position,everything was as stated on the website.

All in all had a great time there. Plenty of local walks if you don't want to get in your car,but also not far to drive to Windermere and other places around the lakes.. We have already booked for a return visit.

"This was our first stay at Robin Lodge but had been to Limefitt many times previously."
So location and area wise it was spot on as per usual. Park is well looked after and has stunning views. Staff at reception are always lovely and helpful,
The view from this lodge is lovely as you get to see the horses as well as the mountains. Lots of privacy, with the hot tub being closed ff from the road and next to trees.The hot tub is well maintained and really made the vacation extra special and relaxing!
Love how it has direct access to the lodge and main bedroom. However, I would strongly recommend bringing lots of extra towels with you.
You can tell this is a well used lodge, it has quite a bit of wear and tear in places, mainly the bathroom and kitchen. However, everything works perfectly. Most of the wear and tear is cosmetic.The cooker could maybe do with an upgrade and there seems to be a lot of plastic bowls and cups that I suspect have been left by previous visitors.
It is a gorgeous little, comfy lodge, perfect for a couple and little doggy. It is so warm and cosy, makes a great weekend winter break.

The lodge had everything we wanted and was spotless. The highlight was the outdoor hot tub. We had a greasy laugh in there.
The park itself was lovely and location was perfect. It had everything we needed from kids play park to dog walking area. The onsite pub/restaurant was a lovely place to eat or just go for a drink with the family at any time. There was even an open air cinema on the Friday night showing a The Greatest Showman which mum daughter just loved.
All in all I would give this park and lodge 10 out of 10 and wouldn't hesitate to book again. Just need a good enough excuse to do so.

Cobwebs in corners around lights and back of doors. Had to take the Christmas tree and decorations which wasn't good considering it was January 12th when arrived. Had to get the man from reception to come and time the TV in. Wii didn't work. These were the only faults. On the plus side over all it was a nice lodge. Enough space for the two of us. Nice location. And sunken private hot tub outside the master bedroom. Have recommended to friends for a couples weekend break.

Customer service before our stay was really good, frequent contact from the owner.
Hot tub is an amazing bonus to the lodge, although a little chilly getting in and out in december!!
Only suggestion for improvement is maybe updating the mattress and the sofa's. We both found them very uncomfortable and suffered with very stiff backs for a day or two after sleeping/sitting on them.
Kitchen was well equipped and fridge/freezer nicely sized.
Will definitely return (maybe when the weather warms up!)

"Very disappointing on arrival regarding maintenance issues which some were resolved during our stay."
We arrived at Robin View lodge which from outside looked lovely, entered the lodge and everything looked great. The living area was just big enough for us, the kitchen was all new and well equipped. Walking through the lodge we were hit with a very strong smell of damp. We opened the main bedroom and the smell hit us in the face, it was disgusting. We complained to the office which were more than helpful, they arrived the next day, stripped the beds, curtains etc and carried out a deep clean on the carpet to try and help with the smell. We were asked to let it dry out overnight which we did. The next morning the smell was still just as bad. We contacted them again were they came to put a dehumidifier in the room to try and draw out the moisture in the room, so again we gave it another night (staying in two single beds while all this was going on). We contacted them again the next morning as the smell was still the same, we were advised the maintenance guy (that was very helpful) was on his way to rip the carpet out and replace it. This was done within a few hours and we were happy with the new carpet that was fitted, but when the room was warm the smell still lingered but it was much better and we were happy enough for the remainder of our holiday. We were compensated with

"We had a great time, the lodge is brilliantly located and it was very warm and comfortable."
It has a nice modern feel and lots of laminate floor which I like. I think the only really downsides are that it's pretty expensive and that because it's dog friendly the lodge smells doggy. we notice because we don't have a dog. The booking was easy and the staff were all helpful. The hot tub was hot and well maintained which was great. My only real gripe is that the carpets weren't cleaned or vacuumed in the bedroom but they really needed to be... perhaps this was the source of the smell! If that had been sorted it would have been nearer perfection.

Also very quiet holiday park which was appreciated with a baby.
Robin's View lodge itself was an ideal size for the 3 of us, our only gripe was there are no windows in the main bedroom only patio doors, it was very warm when we were there but didn't feel safe leaving the patio door open at night with our baby.
However other than that the lodge was perfect, very clean and well maintained, nice to have the private hot tub too. We also enjoyed having a BBQ on our last night to round off a great holiday.

"First of all I'd just like to say that this is a wonderful holiday park."
It's the first time I personally had been to the Lake District and I was really impressed, even more so because of the quality of limefitt park. We stayed at robin view lodge and upon arrival everything was great, one slight thing was that a worker at the park had to do a last check of the lodge but he literally took about 2 minutes so it really didn't matter. The lodge was lovely and clean and had all of the essentials ready for us. It's really comfortable and cosy and the added benefit of the hot tub is great. The pub on site is really cute, if a little quiet, but maybe that was due to the time of year. Limefitt park is in a great location considering Windermere is a 10 minute drive away. It was just a wonderful trip and I can't wait to return. :)

"Book as a short mon-fri stay."
Price seem good when we booked. But by the time we could check in at 3pm on Monday, and they realised we had to be out by 10am fri, we felt slightly cheated. However I beleive this would be the case at most parks. The lodge appeared clean and welcoming on arrival. But as time went on the 'cracks' started to appear. One of the two small leather sofas had a broken spring, making it virtually unusable or at best uncomfortable. The curtains in the main bedroom were mouldy. Not much more to say about that. The outside deck was extremely slippery, it rained the whole time we were there so it was to be expected. However the layer of green slime that covered the deck did not help. We took our dog with us, I read all the info the website had to offer on bringing your pet along. But it wasn't made apparent untill reading the manual in the lodge that no pet should be left alone in the lodge at any time. We would have left her at home had we have known. The worst point is that we left a very detailed explanation of all theys faults and a few more on departure, a courtesy call to inform us of action they will take to rectify the issues would have been nice. On a lighter note the on site pub 'HayBarn Inn' was excellent. Good home cook style food, reasonably priced. And the staff/landlady was lovely! The area was beautiful and so was the lodge, for the most part. Just a few issues to address. We would return (without the dog) if we were assured the issues had been delt with.

"Very rarely does a holiday exceed expectation but is one certainly did."
The reality of the lodge met the pictures and the park itself was truly 5 star. We were concerned about someone else's water being in the hot tub but no, this was changed before we arrived and was checked again mid week. It is all about personal views but in our opinion the position of the lodge was as good as anything on the park. A fabulous lodge on a fabulous park that we will certainly be returning to

"This was our third stay on limefitte park and have stayed in better lodges than this one."
It was the first lodge we have booked with a hot tub looked great , but we soon found out the bedroom smelt of a terrible damp odour as this is the access everyone uses through bedroom doors .We can honestly say we had flea bites in this room because of damp carpet and dogs being allowed in lodge .This Ian afraid spoilt our holiday in what could be a nice lodge

"Had a great stay at robin view lodge."
The lodge is homely comfortable and kept to a very high standard! The mortal man pub serves great food and beer with the best views I have ever seen from a pub! And within staggering distance! The hot tub was great and very well used a great treat after a long days hiking! Overall the only complaint is a week wasn't long enough!

"This was our 2nd time staying in Robin view and we were expecting a very wet and stormy week after looking at the forecast but luckily we had very little rain and some wonderful sunshine."
I would recommend this lodge and park to anyone its location is perfect and has the lovely bonus of a hot tub which after a long day of dog walking is perfect for a relax before dinner at the Haybarn inn. We love the Haybarn inn with wonderful food and lovely staff who give a great friendly and personal service both when it was quiet and we were the only customers and during the bank holiday weekend when very busy all the staff were great and the food was very nice and well presented. We hope to return again soon.

"Had a brilliant time here."
we had stayed in the area before but first time at limefitt park. the park itself is in a lovely spot and nice and quiet. the lodge was great, not too close to other lodges and a nice private hot tub. the living accommodation was generous, bedrooms a bit on the cosy side but they made good use of space. we will definately be returning here and especially robin view.

"Had a lovely and relaxing week the lodge had everything we needed and the hot tub is a great bonus, not only that its in a great location to get around and see the sites of the lakes."
Only concern was the main door we got a bit worried as struggled with shutting it (lookes like it has dropped from the frame slightly as had to lift the whole thing up in order to get it to shut). No criticism at all whole process from booking through to the email after has been fab :)

"My wife and I decided we wanted to spend Christmas away after a stressful Christmas 2013."
This is the best decision we have made in a long time! We couldn't have wished for a more relaxing Christmas. The hot tub was amazing!
We took a small Christmas tree with us but realised when we arrived that we needn't have bothered. It was a very nice touch to find a tree already in place at the lodge.
The lodge was well equipped although, we would have benefited from an iron and ironing board which we would expect to find at any self catering accommodation in the UK. We went up to the site laundry to use the ironing facilities there, which were free and ok.
We visited The Hayburn which was a lovely welcoming place to be.
The staff on arrival and departure at reception were extremely helpful and friendly.
The lack of mobile phone reception and poor Wi-Fi did not bother us as we wanted to get away from all that anyway. I do think it should be mentioned to your customers that the Wi-Fi is very slow as like us, other customers may expect a good service which isn't the case.
Overall we had the most pleasant break we have had in a long time. We would recommend the park and lodge, and would definitely consider booking again.

"Very much enjoyed stay at Robin view."
Only thing I was disappointed with was once we arrived at the lodge there wasn't any information about local places to eat or local shops no addresses etc so we had no idea what was in the area and as the wifi was so bad could not Google map anything to make the most of our stay.

"Robin view is a great place too stay,all amenities provided and a great hot tub too relax in an evening,but the real plus has too be the visit to the side of the tub by the slate wall of the 2 badgers every evening."
We found that they love peanut butter sandwiches so every evening around 8ish along they came a great experience to just sit (quietly of course) with my whisky and nature at its finest.Limefitt was great very picteresque and peacefull although we were there in mid november and I would imagine the school holidays ect could be less tranquil.The lodge itself is great everything we needed,the only small grumble would be the muddy dog prints under the tables on arrival otherwise spotless maybe a minor cleaning error on this occasion.Would I go again? Without hesitation and we certaintly intend to do so.

"We arrived on the Friday evening about 18:00 and were greeted at reception by a lovely young gent who checked us in."
Once at the lodge we were very excited by both the look and feel of the place. It was clean, cosy and very homely. We headed to the Hot Tub and were very disappointed to find a large dog poo right beside the tub along with numerous dirty dog paw marks all over the cover. Although we knew that the lodge accepted pets, this was still something we did not expect nor want to see. The Haybarn pub was a little gem, with good ale and great food. All in all we had a lovely couple of nights and would not hesitate in returning again in the future. As the name of the lodge states, we saw a few little Robins hopping around.

The hot tub is really great. The free wifi is pretty terrible but as it was free we couldnt really complain. Everything was provided in the lodge that you could possible need, it was a home from home. The site is brilliant and really child and animal friendly.

"On the whole a very pleasant stay , apart from :- Oven not clean , Windows filthy ."
Why does the Maintenance Man for the Hot tub arrive during your stay?? Surely he should come between 10:00 and 15:00 after guests have left and before others arrive . If the Hot tub is not available for the full duration of your stay then a proportional refund should be given.
