• "We really liked our short stay at Rowan lodge, the property is positioned near woodland which was great for short walks with the dogs."

  Plenty of room for 4 adults, we all found our stay very relaxing. The views from the decking are stunning

• "This is the second time we've stopped at Rowen Lodge."

  This year the decking had been improved and the barbeque slab has been replaced. A few of the pans needed a clean and the sofa could do with a spritz of Febreze but the property was otherwise clean and comfortable. A timelapse video recorded through the window showed the badgers visiting between 12pm and 3am - they enjoyed a sprinkling of dog biscuits (and the crows finished off the leftovers at dawn) Lots of local places to visit makes this a good base for a stay in the Lakes. The only negative was Sykes customer service. I didn't notice the 5% returning customer discount until after I had booked. Sykes were unhelpful and refused to honor the discount.

  Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us and all the wildlife the lodge had to offer. We will pass all your comments on. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused regarding the 5% returning customer discount, however we can now confirm you have received this back now. We hope to welcome you again soon.

• "A lovely little lodge, maybe could do with a bit if a care n attention."

  Just little things, like grouting needs redoing I'm the bathroom carpets could do with Replacing the boiler scares the life out of you when it kicks in, I thought it was going to blow the cupboard doors off. Just a bit of an update n it would be lovely.

  Many thanks for taking the time to submit your valued feedback. We are grateful to you for bringing these matters to our attention and happy to say, there are plans in the pipeline to replace the bedroom carpets over the next few months. The grouting will also be dealt with as necessary. The boiler has very recently been installed and the noise would appear to be part of its design. We will, however, contact the engineer and, if it can be toned down at all, will arrange for this to be done. We very much look forward to welcoming you back should you decide to visit the area again, in the future. Property Owner

  Enjoyed the peace and tranquility,the lodge was situated in a lovely private position. Only disappointment not seeing the badgers at dusk! will definitely return.

• "Rowan Lodge is perfectly placed for a wonderful holiday in the Lakes."

  The holiday park is within easy reach of Lake Windermere and local towns and amenities, and is definitely the best placed lodge within the site. With a little bit of updating this would be fabulous, such as replacing the broken parasol, perhaps changing the gas oven to electric (we couldn’t get the gas oven to work properly) and much of the outside decking is long overdue replacing, some of the decking boards are rotting away and can cause tripping. Otherwise we had a lovely holiday, even watching the badgers (and mouse!) visit the decking at night to eat peanut butter sandwiches we’d left out for them! Perfect location, we’d definitely stay again, just needs a bit of TLC.

  Thank you for your feedback. It is wonderful to hear you enjoyed your stay and managed to spot some of the wildlife around Rowan Lodge. Thank you for your recommendations, we will pass these across to the owner and ensure the decking is checked. It is wonderful to hear you enjoyed lots of the local amenities and we do hope to welcome you back soon. Property Owner

• "The property hadn't been cleaned for some time there was dust under the beds and a previous occupiers scrunchie."

  Cobwebs from the lights. The decking was very badly maintained and needs replacing. The shower was very odd it kept coming apart and my husband fixed it twice while we were there this also needs replacing. A bit off putting having the owners belongings stored above the bed in the bedroom aswell. It was a lovely spot very private and we enjoyed our stay on the site especially The Haybarn but all in all I'm afraid we wouldn't return or reccomend the lodge.

  Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear of the issues that you found with the cleanliness of the property. We will ask our Housekeeping team to look into this. I am pleased to say that the decking is going to replaced later on in the year. We will ask the Maintenance team to look at the shower. The lodge is the owners second home, there are belongings stored at the lodge, which are stored away during guests visits. We hope that you would return to the Lake District again soon.

• "We enjoyed our stay here having visited Limefitt every year for around 14 years."

  Although we've stopped in an identical lodge elsewhere on the park, we liked the location of this one as it was at the back of the park and its raised elevation meant it was very peaceful. A last minute discount attracted our attention, although the discount only reduced the price to what we normally pay privately elsewhere on the park... The lodged was equipped with just about everything we needed for the week and the furniture was comfortable. We didn't see the badgers but we know they visited after dark and ate the sprinkling of dog biscuits we provided. The listing and guidance in the property need some updating. After reading the guidance and bringing a disposable barbeque, we couldn't find anything that might be a "barbeque slab" and ended up using the stone steps instead. The melamine tableware referred to in the handbook wasn't there - not an issue but shows the material needs updating... Would we stop here again? Yes if the price was right!

  Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Rowan. We will check the material and make sure that it is up to date. We look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

  Thanks for your feedback. We've asked the maintenance manager to look at the grouting. We've been planning to replace the carpets in the bedrooms and this will be done during the Winter. Sorry about the boiler that's noisy when the main burner comes on.. It's new so it's probably just the design, but we will have it checked. Property Owner

• "The lodge it self is well located with stunning views of the local hills."

  The lodge was built in 2004 and is beginning to look a little tired however it was spotlessly clean and all the facilities you wanted in the lodge were there. The only thing you have to bring is yourself and your own food. The park has a great river which the dogs loved playing in, kids were playing in it. There is a good park for the kids to playing. There is an on-site pub which serves good food. There are two pubs close by. The mortal manAnd the Queens head both of which in walking distance. Ambleside Troutbeck and Windermere are very close by 5 to 10 minutes drive. The highlight of our stay was feeding peanut butter sandwiches to the badgers.

They responded immediately and apologised and I appreciate they are not the owners of the lodge and they said would pass on our concerns.

  We absolutely love it . The outside of the lodge is looking a little tired as it is an older lodge but, this would not stop us from booking again. If It came up for sale and we had the money we would snap it up, the position of the lodge is brilliant. Rowan Lodge is good value for money. What did you enjoy most about your stay?

  Mr James FoxOct 2017

• "Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rowan Lodge despite the awful weather!"

  ! It is a very well equipped comfortable holiday lodge in a great location in terms of peace and tranquility and the nightly badger visits to the decking. Whilst the park wifi is good, the seperate broadband facility in the lodge was a definite winner for us. The grounds are very well maintained and the staff courteous, polite and extremely helpful, a truely professional team. The Haybarn was nice for a drink and a bite to eat but was a little disappointed that they had stopped taking orders by 8pm on the Saturday evening. So it was either a trek out in the rain or cheese and biscuits back at the lodge. Would highly recommend a stay here, very welcoming and dog friendly which is a massive draw for any dog lover.

  The lodge was spacious and comfortable for us, with everything we needed, lovely selection of local books, dvds to watch and Wi-Fi. The local informatin folders were well worth a read and have some great ideas of where to walk and where to go. We could walk straight from our lodge straight into some spectacular scenery.

The surrounding area had fantastic views and we took our dogs on some amazing walks. Would recommend this lodge and park to anyone. What did you enjoy most about your stay?

  Susan KingJul 2017

• "We thoroughly enjoyed our first stay at the Rowan."

  We chose it because of its location and because it has its own Wi-Fi access. The lodge was clean and functional. The sofas were very comfortable and having a full size fridge freezer was a bonus. The lodge heated up nicely with a powerful gas fire and efficient electric heaters (it was June but you know the Lakes!). We found that the kitchen had all the utensils we needed and the lodge had a nice big bathroom, however only a three-quarter length bath. There were comfortable chairs on the decking for when the sun shines (we sat out twice). And of course there are the badgers, who visited us every evening for their peanut butter bread squares. There were a several minor maintenance issues, which we reported and were told would be addressed, but overall we really enjoyed our stay, despite the weather. We will be booking the Rowan again for next year.

  Mr Colin McmorranJul 2017

• "I have read previous reviews and there's not much more I can add."

  It was first-class and I fully recommend Rowan Lodge. Of particular interest was the wildlife, namely the badgers, woodpecker and deer who were seen regularly during my stay.

  We booked Friday and came on the same day we arrived late at night , it was no trouble all staff were really helpful. The cabin was comfortable and well kept. The location is fab not far to Windermere but still isolated and quite. The doggies loved the doggy park and we will definitely be returning. What did you enjoy most about your stay?

  Catherine Van-bellenApr 2017

• "We had a lovely stay in Rowan Lodge."

  It was a rather damp weekend, that's the risk you take with a Spring break, but the lodge was very well kitted out even having an airer so drying 2 human coats, 2 dog coats and towels wasn't an issue. It was a lovely place to relax and just chill after a few stressful weeks at work. Lots of books on local wildlife to look at, a variety of DVD's to watch and great access to the internet. Loved watching all the birds that visited although we were gutted not to have seen the badgers - a good reason to come back again ;-) What did you enjoy most about your stay? A lovely place just to relax What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? We visited Waterhead just down the road near Ambleside and the cafe on the front was marvellous.

  Mr Andrew ShrubbNov 2016

• "We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend break at Rowan Lodge."

  The traditional interior with its pine-clad walls gave a cosy, warm feel which suited the autumnal weather. The lodge had everything we needed and was extremely clean and welcoming. We had chosen to stay in this particular lodge because of its location in the park which didn't disappoint. We had wonderful views from the kitchen window of a grassy/woodland area where we managed to spot two deer, a woodpecker and an assortment of other birds. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Being amongst the beautiful landscape and wildlife of the Lake District. We saw deer and a woodpecker from our kitchen window. We put out food for the badgers but, although they came and ate the food, we missed spotting them doing so! What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? A walk from Elterwater to Skelwith Bridge passing Skelwith Force Waterfall on the way.

  Comfort, tranquil, and clean. The location on the park is excellent with having the woods next to you we were able to fed the badgers, deer, rabbits and birds.

Behind the pub is an excellent walk you can see lake Windermere and it took us 2 1/2 hours to get back beautiful walk

  Mrs Marie LeakeOct 2016

• "Rowan Lodge may have been booked at short notice, but it is worth a return stay."

  The lodge is extremely clean, warm, homely and spacious. It is in a excellent location, quiet and the grounds it is set in are lovely. There was everything in the lodge we needed. Plenty of hot water to. The only small issue I had, was the mattress on the double bed. To uncomfortable for me, but my husband slept like a log. It was the wildlife that we all enjoyed as a family, feed the birds when you get there and you are rewarded with a beautiful song every morning. Leave peanut butter sandwiches out for the badgers, who are lovely to watch. Also leave out seconds as 5 minutes later another badger will follow. Also the roe deer made a appearance. The park is so clean and tidy. The only thing that lets it down is the Haybarn inn, painfully slow and very expensive. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The Badgers What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The beautiful scenery

  ..yet! This was our first real break in The Lakes and it certainly wont be the last. You can relax all day and just enjoy the scenery, take a leisurely stroll or do some serious hiking, all with fantastic views all around. If you like mountain biking then there are plenty of trails for you. Take a trip into Bowness on Windermere and you'll be amazed at all the places you can eat, there really is something for everyone. I would recommend doing some online research first though as It always pays to plan ahead. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Amazing scenery and peacefulness.

  The lodge was clean and welcoming on arrival, a fantastic quick check in at reception and the lodge was in an excellent location. The kids were free to play out on the grassed area with no cars zooming around. A fantastic kids adventure playgroup right next to the little stream for fishing and paddling. Just perfect!!!!! The badgers made our trip super special, we saw them every night!!! We loved it at Limefitt Park and will definitely be back!! One tiny ( and it really is tiny) negative was the lodge/sofa could do with a real good vac, a few dogs hairs! But apart from that I was very happy!!! Everything we needed was provided and In good condition. The lodge comfortable and relaxing and we loved every minute. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Location, peace and quiet. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Boat trip on Windermere.

  Mrs Amanda PepperJun 2016

• "Nice location on a good site, parking very tight and awkward."

  Didn't help that during our stay new decking was being laid to a lodge right next door so banging and sawing was rather unwelcome for the whole week (we are early out and back so mid afternoon was relax time for us or, should have been), would have been better if we'd been warned on arrival. Lodge has seen better days but comfortable and clean enough, well appointed with everything you need however, the wire mesh outside on the decking is dangerous and definitely not pet or un-shoed human friendly. Dangerous middle step on climb up to deck level (reported). Overall a very friendly site with welcoming staff and we enjoyed our stay but, very overpriced for time of year and length of stay, I seriously doubt we will re-visit. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The views and friendly staff. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Follow the track along top of site to nearby valley.

  Great bar/restaurant on site - all very doggy friendly which is important to many. Endless hot water, kitchen utensils/pans etc., stocked extensively. The only downside was the cooker (oven) which was very slow - took 6 hours to cook a Turkey joint (not whole bird) and a ham. Would definitely stay at Rowan Lodge again.

  Mr Paul MandersJun 2015

• "Rowan Lodge was a fantastic place to stay and enjoy the beauty of the Lake District."

  It has all the necessary items to be able to cook, relax and have a good stay. As a home away from home. The instructions left on the table were a great addition that added to our holiday. Having the bird food and notes on how to feed the badgers was a lovely touch and we really enjoyed seeing the wildlife about. We particularly liked the location of this chalet in comparison to others in the park as it has more green open space around and great views of the hills around. The fact that we could take our dog with us was just great. What did you enjoy most about your stay? How comfortable the chalet is, the location and the wildlife about. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The walk from Troutbeck to Ambleside via Wansfell Pike and back.

• "We had a fantastic stay at Rowan lodge."

  Every step of the process was smooth from booking to confirmation. We even got a text the day before. The lodge itself was perfect and exactly what we were looking for. Cosy, warm, homely and very welcoming. It truly felt like a home from home. The fact that we could take our dog (greyhound) was a huge plus and made the weekend extremely enjoyable. Everything that you needed was already in the lodge and coming in from a long 4 hour walk in the rain, into a lovely lodge with a nice warm fire was perfect! I couldnt recommend this place highly enough and will certainly be returning. What did you enjoy most about your stay?

  Mrs Sophie Traves-boltonSep 2014

• "My daughter her partner and toddler stayed at this lodge, during their stay a new lodge was being erected adjacent to Rowan Lodge."

  This caused problems as a crane was used for the works and as a result they could not get access to the lodge with their car. This caused problems with them having a toddler, fortunately we were staying in Jinnyspinner lodge and they could park their car next to ours. I realise that this is not a regular occurrence, but they enjoyed the stay immensely. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Location & weather!! What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Fell foot park excellent ( if the weather is nice)

  It was an older model but full of character, if I owned the lodge I would probably paint the interior wood work cream to lighten up the lodge. But we had a great holiday, could'nt fault it really. Thankyou. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Llocation of the lodge What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests?

  Mr John WoodJun 2014

• "Very welcoming arrival - great information and prompt communication from booking."

  Helpful, friendly and knowledgeable staff on our arrival. Good, well stocked on the site for basics. Rowan Lodge has a wonderfully secluded position and level of privacy, backing on to woodland. The lodge itself is well equipped to cater for most people's needs. There are numerous walks locally and further afield. We would recommend purchasing OS maps prior to your holiday. However, there are a wealth of books at the lodge. The only small criticism was that the cleanliness of the lodge could have been improved upon. On of the highlights was the many sightings of the local badgers - especially when peanut butter sandwiches were made available!! We would highly recommend this to people looking for a quiet, well secluded location and a perfect base for days of adventure. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Great geographical position, brilliant local walks, great local amenities, we and our two dogs loved it! What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Several local walks directly from the park site.
