Robin View Lodge Reviews

Graeme

Really enjoyed our stay, the lay out of the lodge was good for what we wanted for a short stay. The hot tub was fantastic and looked well maintained. It needs a good freshen up as some bits looked a bit worse for wear. The bathroom had a bit of mould in it and we we struggled with showers as the hot water kept cutting out. I would definitely stay again but I think it needs a bit of money spent on it to get it up to a good standard.

It is very clear that the owners care with the little touches around the lodge from the robin on the kitchen blind to a wide selection of books. However the lodge is well loved and needs some tweaks. From reading other reviews the sofa with no legs has been that way since at least June and we visited at the end of October. It did make it unusable for us as we are in our 50s and my knees dont quite behave as they used to! Whilst we were there one of the legs on the other sofa broke. This was on top of a few other things we called maintenance about. They resolved everything in the afternoon we were out including getting a new sofa with legs!. This was outstanding by the maintenance team but my counter argument would be if this could be solved so quickly reactively, why has the other sofa not been addressed in 4 months? Its a smaller lodge but its really cute and it would not take a great deal to make a 3 into a 5 as it has a brilliant location on a fabulous site. The hot tub is well maintained although it is quite noisy through the night. Limefitt is a gorgeous park which is quiet but quite beautiful. The on site Pub was great and there are lots of walks to be had from your lodge. We would definitely go to the park again as it really is so lovely. However, as cute as Robin View Lodge is we would question returning to stay there.

Patrick

On the plus side we had good weather so we didnt have to spend much time in the lodge & the hot tub was lovely. Unfortunately the negatives were far more. In a nutshell the lodge needs a FULL refurbishment, its 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 legs on one of the settees is absolutely unacceptable as was the mould in the showerbath, kitchen units fully scratched, sliding wardrobe didnt work , my husband had to fix it! . Obviously the previous reviews have NOT been taken into consideration. Its such a shame because it could be lovely if refurbishment were to happen. We Will not return .

Lovely site out of the way, property close to reception we were super happy as it allows dogs and had hot tub and is a lovely lodge but could do with a bit of an upgrade like it said in a few other comments but really didnt affect our stay, the decking is the worst but post is broken so our dog got out but over all pretty average stay.

The lodge was really clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Having the hot tub was great and this was well maintained. Had a lovely stay here and would recommend this to anyone thinking of a holiday here. The park grounds were also well looked after.

Place needs a refresh. Scrapes everywhere, chipped cups, door handle in bathroom broken, mould in bath around the nonslip stickers.

Richard

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 isnt 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 dont slide. Individually all are understandable but collectively were a little disappointing.

Stefania Lena

Spent a great time.

Christina

Hi We were very pleased with the property, the only issue we had was with the outside. The decking was in a very poor state and the little table and chairs were not good at all. They were very dirty and not a place you would sit and enjoy. Christina

Very smooth process, we were all very happy and had a great weekend away, superb equipment provided. Would have preferred a later check out as check in is late in the day and to have to vacate for 10 am which meant our last day felt rushed. Great cabin though and wouldn't hesitate to book again.

Shocking as we got there both gates were hanging off. My daughter then really wanted to go have a bath that's when we realised no hot water that wasn't fixed until the next day we had no hot water to wash for the next day before we went out we also tried to cook on the hob but one of the ignitions kept sticking so we had to keep turning it off nota great break away we were really looking forward to it aswel because last year we stayed was so nice probably wouldn't book again.

Brilliant.

We had a lovely stay. Everything thing was just as advertised. Dog friendly and nice clean hottub. We would stay here again.

Lovely lodge in a beautiful location. Robin View Lodge had everything we needed for a comfortable stay with the added bonus of a hot tub which was gratefully received after a long walk. The only slight issue would be the main access door to the lodge was temperamental to lock and unlock and an ashtray was left full on the decking outside. These points are not detrimental in any way and wouldnt hesitate booking my next stay. Thanks for having us.

Lovely lodge in great setting, the only negative for us would be the noise from the hot tub being so close to the bedroom during its clean cycle. But saying that a beautiful tub which has been replaced since we last stayed in this lodge. Probably not big enough for 2 couples but big enough for a small family. Would return again

Lovely park only drawback on our arrival a lodge was being demolished opposite us ,luckily only took a couple of days however there were 3 skips and a digger ,still one skip still there when we left a week later ,disappointed with lodge itself very tired looking inside and out could do with a spruce up ,also draught coming through window same side of door , hot tub was great especially after long walks . We came away for a holiday and not to stay on a building site!!!

Enjoyed our stay had a loverly week

We loved our stay we didn't want to come home the lodge was lovely so homely ... We loved our stay we didn't want to come home the lodge was lovely so homely plus we loved the hottub bonus thankyou for letting us enjoy such a beautiful place definitely want to go back xx

I have already emailed you on Sunday but not had a reply as yet. We left on Sunday morning. Hot tub needs a new pump was just like an outside bath. No spa! The maintenance guy said its known to you so why are you not informing the paying guests Decor is poor and dated the pictures on the website make it look actually better than whats actually there. Its very mis matched Requires new furniture as the covered sofa s look shocking. Bedding is very tired so again looks naff. In desperate need of tlc. Painted kitchen is all scratched peeling off. Just not good value for money. Stayed at limefitt many many times over the years thats the most run down lodge we have stayed in. Wouldnt stay at that lodge again. Thanks

Hayley

This was a lovely lodge and site to stay at. Very homely lodge with it being privately owned.

The stay at the lodge was amazing, we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The park was spotless and the hot tub was checked every day. The only minor thing was the pubrestaurant only being open weekends for breakfast and my daughter was desperate to have some granola and yoghurt

Really enjoyed our stay in yr lodge, but could be a bit cleaner, out side furniture needs updating as not very comfortable for outside dining and in need of clothes airer to dry cloths on inside. But apart from that really enjoyable stay in the lodge.

Christopher

The holiday lodge is in need of a proper clean and requires some refurbishment. For example the sofas are heavily stained, the bathroom coving and shower surround have mould around them and the outside decking requires painting. Also the outside mismatch furniture needs to be replaced with new to keep up with better lodges on the park. A dvd player would be useful for entertainment on rainy days.

We stayed Monday to Friday couldn't get in the property till 4pm and had to leave by 10 am think it's a little expensive for only 2days . The seat were very dirty marks o them not been cleaned at all .The hot tub was not very clean. We never we t in it as didn't fancy it at all we have stayed here in this property 3times but will not be going back as it needs a good clean and up daring .

Location was fantastic and the park was very well located and managed extremely quiet and peaceful throughout day and night. One think would say though which had major effect on rating was cabin although was very clean on arrival its in dire need of a little TLC the garden furniture was broken and old and furniture was very dated inside along with cabin that could do with and coat of paint at least as with a price tag of 1400 for week would expect a little more of effort from company for stay. I hate to complain but although we enjoyed our stay a little more better standards on cabin would make us want to come back anyway many thanks and wish you a good day thank you Regards Paul

Lovely lodge, clean and very well equipped. Hot tub fabulous and maintainedchecked daily by staff. Outside decking area could do with a lick of paint, but overall a very pleasant stay.

We had a relaxing time, clean and tidy. ..finding the lodge was challenging we drove all over the site and had to eventually ask someone, better directions needed before hand on how to find the lodge. No WIFI during all the stay, should be stated in property info, as we chose with this in mind as we wanted to enjoy the full facilities given we were on a short stay. Hot tub nice however several jets not working. Found the check in and out times reduced the stay considerably considering we only their 2 nights therefore not value for money. Site lovely and quiet. Double bed very small as both of us tall. Clean bedding and plenty of towels, on the whole the lodge was very well kitted out. Thankyou.

Beds were comfortable and lodge was clean. Plenty of towels. Reception very helpful and friendly. Barrier code on welcome information email was incorrect. WiFi very rarely available. Unable to get any netflix or prime in the TV. Customer services unable to help. Said it was a park Internet issue but couldn't even get a network connection. Would have been nice to have some local info and things like Haybarn opening Times, Health Club info etc available in the lodge itself.

The dining plates in the cupboard where dirty also two wine glasses. Crumbs on the floor down beside the bin and end of unit. Would also recommend some lights on steps.

Stevie

Read some negative feedback before we went which concerned us a little but we needn't be. The lodge was great, clean, comfy, great facilities and the hot tub was amazing. Great location and lodge and will be back soon.

Lindsay

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

This was our second time staying at the Robin View Lodge, really sorry to say, we will not be staying again. The bathroom door handle came off first time using and I believe this has been reported in other reviews, so unsure why this has not been adressed. Sofa's were full of stains which we had to cover up with our own throws. The bottle opener was snapped in two. In all, plenty of wear and tear, it needs some TLC.

Angela

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

Lodge set in a lovely, peaceful location which was not too far away from places to visit. On site reception and pub was an added bonus. Bar staff friendly and accommodating. safe and secure site The lodge itself was well equipped and a good size, the hot tub made it more enjoyable to stay. The only thing I would comment on is the stained sofas which we covered with throws and the uncleanliness of cutlery and glassware which we needed to wash before use. Other than that a lovely holiday.

The most relaxing stay cation, a perfect location to stay in, the haybarn inn on the lodge site was just an extra added bonus, what a lovely environment to spend our evenings in. The lodge itself was just perfect and the hot tub makes it that extra special, I had already stayed at Robin view and limefitt park previously years ago and had the best holiday then too, will definitely be returning again

Yvonne

It looked like it had been cleaned but really the lodge needed a proper deep clean. Only one toilet roll between 4 people for four nights. Hot tub was needing cleaned but after I called someone came out and drained hot tub and cleaned out. I would have thought this should have been checked before someone arriving.lodge in general is in a fair state but for what you pay needs upgraded or prices relooked at.

The pictures used to advertise the property are clearly many years old. 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 settees were stained and we covered them with our own throws as we did not want to sit on them. Overall not worth the money we paid.

Danielle

We lived the holiday and the lodge, was fantastic, we also had 3 children ages ... We lived the holiday and the lodge, was fantastic, we also had 3 children ages 12, 4 and 11 months, this lodge was perfect apart from it stated the master could fit a travel cot in but it would not, the baby slept in our bed but could travel cot up in the living room, so wouldn't of been an issue, overall it was definitely worth the money and we will be booking again
