Wainwright Lodge Reviews

Just returned from a lovely Christmas break on arrival was greeted by a beautiful Christmas tree and gifts from the owners which was a lovely welcome and kind. This is our 9th visit to limefitt and this is the nicest lodge we have stayed in especially the location and view from the hot tub. We also brought our dog who had a wonderful time, no washing machine but to be honest a great laundrette on ste. We will definitely be back in 2024 Chris mel & Ernie

This is our second stay here and we love the lodge its spacious and clean and also in a great location, the hot tub is an added bonus and great to relax in after a long day walking. Everything we needed was provided in the lodge and we thoroughly enjoy coming here for a week in December for my Husbands birthday. My only quibble is i was ready to book again when we returned for next December but can see the price has gone up by nearly 150 for the same week we stayed this year, is there a reason for this massive increase in price

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

Andrew

Lodge situated in a lovely place with view of the hills, playing field where Roe deer and sheep visit. Hot tub was perfect after long walks around the Lakes. Nice walks around the site into the hills. On site pub also nice to visit, serving food too. Site is very well maintained and clean. Site only a short distance from Windermere and the main road leading to Ambleside and Grasmere so perfect for day trips. We really enjoyed our stay here.

Lovely accommodation in a great location. Fabulous views and very well equipped. The cleaning however was a little disappointing, crisps in the sofa and lots of dustdebris under the beds. Wouldnt stop us returning, but would be good if the level of clean was improved.

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

Frazer

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

Brilliant property! Only issue I had was the hot tub would go into fault mode a few times. I turned it offon and this resolved.

Daniel

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

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

Hi we have stayed at Wainwright Lodge on several occasions. Its got to be one of the most comfortable and relaxing lodges on site, its very clean and well maintained. We will definitely be booking again to stay there.The hot tub is amazing everything about the lodge is brilliant. Thanks Mick & Julia Hick from Wetherby

Darren

We had a fantastic weekend break, the lodge was superb and in a great location. We loved it that much that on our return home, we booked it for a week next year.

Lovely sized comfortable lodge , well equipped with everything you need for a family holiday , loved relaxing in the hot tub & enjoying the views every evening on the decked seating area .

We had an amazing time at the lodge, made lots of memories as we was central to everything ,we even climbed scafell pike,so the hot tub definitely was needed that night lol . The lodge was clean and comfortable,and the bar and food on site was beautiful as were the staff . Thankyou so much Vicki and Shaun

Alison

Wainwright Lodge was just perfect for our weekend to celebrate our daughters 30th birthday. The lodge was very well presented with lovely finishing touches. Exceptionally clean and fresh. Thank you.

We are a family of 5 and this was perfect for us enough room and the dog was able to join us. Everything exceeded our expectations. We will be back.

Stephen

Thank you for a lovely holiday, the lodge was a wonderful base to come back to after a day of walking. Soaking away the aches in the hot tub and looking out over the fantastic views

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

Alison

This was a long awaited family holiday! The lodge was a home from home in a perfect, peaceful beautiful setting! Everything was there even a rolling pin!!!! The lodge was pristine! The beds were comfortable and again pristine! The hot tub was fantastic and serviced daily! None of us wanted to leave! So many beautiful walks without having to even get in the car! Lovely on site pub with friendly and helpful staff! The best holiday we have ever, ever had! Thank you so very much! Alison x

Alison

The property was in a good location, very clean and spacious. The hot tub was a good addition and was serviced daily. We would definitely book again.

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

Caroline

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

Michael

Excellent we have stayed here several times before Its amazing will definitely come back

Catherine

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

Charlotte

Loved our weekend at the lakes. The lodge was perfect, the beds super comfy and the added bonus of a hot tub after a long day.

Excellent cabin. Very clean and had everything required hor our mini break. Will be booking this location again, highly recommended!

Enjoyed every moment we were there. Lodge was extremely clean, and very well equipped. Our second stay at limefitt and definitely not the last. Cant wait to return.

Tracey

The lodge itself was perfect and very dog friendly. Our experience was somewhat marred by the fact that the lodge had not been cleaned and we had to wait a further 2 12 hours after we arrived to access the lodge. This being said I would definitely stay here again.

This is our 3rd trip to Limefitt Lodges, we booked the Wainwright lodge on the day we returned from a brilliant break as lockdown was easing Summer 2020 but unfortunately this break we encountered a few issues. Firstly we would like to say the lodge is in a nice location, not overlooked with the added bonus of a hot tub and the guy who came out every day was very pleasant and friendly, all staff on site including the Haybarn were very friendly. We had problems with the fridge keeping food cool, this was reported and somebody came out while we were out and an email was received saying the fridge was working fine and implied the vents were blocked, by this time we had to throw out fresh produce and had ice packs inside to try and keep butter cool including a birthday cake. There was no improvement to the coolness of the fridge for the duration of our holiday, it was last tested in 2018 we would recommend a service. We also had a power cut for 7 hours, which was also reported and it came back on the morning we were leaving which spoilt our last evening. We would like to address, as have other recent visitors regarding the huge price increases for 2022, we booked this lodge in July 2020 for 1134.00 for 7 nights in 2021 and the same week if we wanted to return in July 2022 is 2030!! Even with the effects of covid 19 and inflation this price increase is unethical and unjustified. Unfortunately as other visitors have commented you have outpriced us returning.

Its a great lodge in a fantastic position looking up towards the hills. Especially Lovely when in hot tub.I could not fault anything with this lodge. Staff on site were very friendly. Would of loved to rebook for next year but unfortunately prices have doubled.

Melanie

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

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

Charlotte

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

Great lodge with brilliant view of the hills Hot tub was nice to have Secure decking to make it dog friendly

We had a fantastic stay at Wainwright Lodge, everything was clean and tidy when we arrived. Plenty of space and wifi with built in Netflix on the main tv was great for the evenings. The Hot Tub was brilliant, we used this ever night after our days of exploring. We ate from The Haybarn and the food was delicious, our dog, George, enjoyed the dog field and he also enjoyed watching the sheep and lamb from our decking that came to visit each night. Cant wait to return!

Miss Amy Watson

We went to wainwright lodge for Christmas 2020, we had an amazing time. The lodge is cosy and has everything you need, a little tired in need of a few touch ups other than that it was perfect. We had an issue with WiFi and even when reported nothing was done to rectify this, with it being Christmas we planned on using Facebook portal to see family which without the WiFi we were unable to do. The hot tub is great with an amazing view probably the best spot on the site view wise. The site has a pub which at the moment is closed but a little up the road was a lovely pub called the Queens head, there is a dog field and park which was great for my daughter and two dogs we took with us. Great place for winter we even got snow on Christmas Day. Prefect break, we even tried to extend our stay but it was already booked up and hoping to book for next Christmas. Highly recommend. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Views What one experience e.g attraction, walk, day out would you recommend for our future guests? Queens head pub
