Striding Edge Lodge, Ullswater

Loved it, comfy bed, not so comfy sofa, everything you would need.

Lovely place, welcoming as so peaceful! Hot tub was a bonus! We will come back Kind Regards Lisa

Perfect for exploring the lakes. Great to be able to walk straight from the front door. Warm comfortable and well equipped. The hot tub is an added bonus. Clean and wonderfully warm. We really appreciated the Christmas touches. Having booked 8 months earlier it was very helpful to hear from lodge holidays in the build up to the trip with advice, suggestions and information. Understandable but a shame the Pub was not open during our stay. Thank you for a lovely week.

Beyond expectations from the pictures. Views were amazing and everything needed was included. Only thing that detracted from being perfect was the outside of the lodge is in need of aTLC and the deck needs a good jetwash from being under the trees all year

Another fabulous week at Striding Edge! Literally the only thing we would change is the mattress in the master bedroom entirely personal preference but it's too soft for hubby's back & he wakes up in some considerable discomfort every day the hot tub & gorgeous area certainly helps, but it would be nice for him to get up easily & we'll rested every day! Other than that we absolutely love the lodge & have now had two wonderful holidays there x

Lovely place to stay and fantastic location. The bed was very comfortable, what brand is the mattress? However, it was very concerning when someone just walked on to the property, up to the hot tub, with no prewarning or indication of what they were doing at 10am. Was there for about 2 minutes and went off again. Really not happy with this.

The lodge was lovely and very clean hot tub use was awesome which worked perfectly all stay. Beds were comfortable had all amenities you need, only downfall was that couldn't get the WIFI to work . Beautiful place to stay and scenery is out of this world and i would highly recomend to friends and family..

Coming back, we had a great week, site and staff top draw, area speaks for its self. The site however was on another level, hot tub was used come rain or shine, accommodation was spotless and had everything you needed.

First class accommodation and site, could not fault the lodge at all, and had everything you could possibly want. It was clean, tidy, warm and in a great location. The hot tub was a lovely added bonus. Good location for accessing all the local amenities.

The lodge was very comfortable and catered for all our needs. The only downside to our stay was that the boiler stopped working on the second night, which meant that there was no hot water. This spoilt our experience as we couldnt shower after using the hot tub. This prevented us from using the hot tub. Also the central heating didnt work. Maintenance were able to fix the boiler in the morning. So we had a whole evening and night without hot water or heatings. However once it was fixed we felt that the lodge continued to struggle to heat up. The hoover wasnt working, and it would benefit other lodgers if there was a mop and bucket on site to use after being in the hot tub and in the shower area.

I read other reviews before we stayed and generally what I read is true. It's a nice lodge, good spot on the park, it's snug, the beds are comfy, the facilities in the lodge and on the site are decent and we enjoyed our stay. There were no functional issues with anything at all in terms of the lodge, everything was fine. But....it suffers from a lack of personal touch and is showing signs of age and some of the stuff could easily be sorted. Little things like the hot tub buttons have worn away so you can't see which button does what. We only figured out there was a light under water on the last day. The decking furniture is going rusty, seat pads are like super thin. Easily sorted things! The outside fencing and flooring is starting to go rotten in places too, particularly the gate and the decking around the hot tub. And the actual lodge external walls have had paint layered on top of paint to cover where it's blistered which makes it look a bit of a mess. Not big deals and none of it affected our holiday at all but when you've paid over 1k for a week you want a little bit of luxury and I didn't feel like it had that. Some of the kitchen utensils in the drawers were dirty and there were some dirty pots in the dishwater too when we arrived. That's no fault of the owners, it's entirely down to the previous guest who was too lazy to clean them. But again, it's not what you want. Maybe it's to be expected when a 3rd party company is managing things. They'll be using minimum wage cleaners who've got 10 lodges to clean in 2 hours so all you get is a superficial cat lick. I can put up with that when I book a Sun 9.50 a day break at a Haven Park in Scarborough but not when you're on a 5 luxury establishment. Things like a dirty sponge scourer and a plastic food label left on the decking. Just silly careless stuff! I saw the owners responded to a similar review by saying they stay regularly and they take a pride in it. I have sympathy with them. I can't imagine the costs of maintaining a lodge on a park like Limefitt and the last thing you want to do when you visit yourself is spend all your time painting and decorating but it really needs a spruce up. It probably reads like I wouldn't recommend this lodge but I would. It's in a great spot and we did have a good time. It just needs a bit of TLC. That's all! It wouldn't take much to make it perfect. Just a word about the site. There's a lovely BarRestaurant but they kept closing early because they said it was quiet. Even Saturday night they called time at 9pm which was frustrating. That's really bad, short term thinking. We just didn't bother going in after the 4th night because of it so they've pretty much done themselves over there! Self fulfilling prophecy. How do you expect to be busy if you keep randomly closing early?

Striding Edge is a really lovely lodge with nice decor, amenities and plenty of storage. The hot tub was great for aching legs after lots of exploring too. The site itself is so peaceful and great location, and lovely helpful staff in reception and at The Haybarn Inn we were having a bbq on a Sunday and forgot ketchup shop shut and food well on the way to being cooked pub to the rescue!. We also had an issue with the entry fob and boiler during our stay but these were both dealt with quickly by on site staff. A fantastic week in a fantastic lodge the only thing which could be improved would be the mattresses, which are very soft but we are already looking at when we can return. Thank you!

Just returned from a weeks stay Aug 2023 Lodge clean and cosy. Hot tub amazing after long walks. Limefitt was so quiet and peaceful with stunning views. The Haybarn Pub was so friendly and welcoming with a good selection of food and drinks offering take away options too! Mandy and the team were lovely . Launderette on site to wash and dry clothes. Fabulous break away. Thank you.

Thank you for such a lovely stay! Was really needed and the lodge park itself was just so peaceful. Definitely recommend

Great lodge set in beautiful quiet park in a perfect location. .. will come again...

Good location. Modern kitchen. Decking area well positioned offering privacy and in the sun all day. Hot tub well positioned for privacy. Not our first stay at Limefitt but first in this property, will book this lodge again.

Fantastic weekend, location was amazing, we enjoyed some beautiful walks. Acomodation was excellent, even the hotub was cleaned each morning ready to use again. We did notice small build up of bit of dirt behind bathroom door that had been missed by cleaners but not big deal. Staff at the onsite pub and shop were so friendly. We had a great time, and would a million percent return and recommed this place to all our friends. Thank you so much for for a great weekend. .

Absolute fantastic lodge with great facilities and highly recommend to anybody ... Absolute fantastic lodge with great facilities and highly recommend to anybody either for short break or long term Couldnt of wished for a better place for a break Would just like to thank everyone And owners Mr stewart

Another wonderful stay at Limefitt. Striding Edge is a real home from home. Well equipped and very spacious. Lovely welcome gift on arrival which went to a good home. We will be back. Loved it

Had a fabulous stay in Striding Edge this weekend. The lodge was beautifully clean on arrival, really well equipped with lovely decor and furniture, a real home from home. The beds were so comfy and they hot tub an added bonus. Can recommend the pub on site too. We got a taxi into Bowness on two days, cost roughly 10 each way.

Beautiful place to stay. Cabin was wonderful and the hot tub amazing. I couldn't fault the facilities and the maintenance team especially Kate Hayton who was wonderful when we need help with the tv. But I must stress that the site does need to sort out it's WiFi. You can't advertise it if half the camp can't get on it! Not really fair.

Lodge was ok apart from the cleaning not being very good. Dust on the lights in the living room, mirror in the main bedroom and the shower tray in the onsuite needed a bit more care when cleaning it. The decking was very slippery when you came out of the main door and the railing needs replacing as a few of the postswoodwork is rotting. Shame really as the beds are really comfy!

The relaxed place & fantastic location of the park.

From start to finish everything was great, this was our 4th time at limefitt park and would highly recommend it. Striding Edge has been our favourite lodge having stayed there 3 times now, it has everything you need as a home from home experience and is so well equipped and having the hot tub to relax in during the day or evening is amazing. The Onsite the park and the hay barn inn are really good and staff are really helpful and friendly. From the site itself you can explore nearby Windermere, Ambleside and Kendal all a short drive away. We even drove to Manchester to visit the legoland discovery centre as a surprise for our wee boy. We cannot wait to visit limefitt again. Thank you for another great holiday experience.

We loved everything about our stay at Striding Edge Lodge! The hot tub inparticular! We cant wait to come back! Thank you.

Very comfortable beds, even in the twin room for my sons who are both over 6ft! Hot tub was a lovely addition. A bit temperamental at first but we raised the issues and they were dealt with in a timely way. Shower was excellent such good pressure. We would have liked a bbq at the property. Very comfortable cabin on a lovely, quiet site.

The site is lovely and peaceful and a convenient place to use as a base to explore further afield. The lodge itself is possibly one of the best equipped lodges we've ever stayed in it really has everything you need. Not overly impressed with the maintenance team though. The outside light had a dodgy sensor which meant we were in semidarkness most of the time outside in the evening and it was way too hot to sit inside the lodge. Added to this was the fact that the hot tub light was also broken so outside lighting was poor. The main bathroom light also stopped working so there was no way to use this room once it was dark without leaving the door wide open. Despite reporting all this nothing was fixed. The maintenance team really need to improve their customer service to match the quality of the lodge itself.

Lovely clean lodge! Very comfortable, will definitely be back.

Hi I was disappointed with the cleaning of Theodore upon our arrival. The gate code left in the lodge was 2 months out of date and related to April. I also would have thought the hottub would have been cleaned during our stay.

I contacted you on arrival to say you hadn't provided a supply of dishwasher tablets, which you always have in the past. I was told some should've been left in a welcome pack didn't get one and to go buy my own! We don't have a dishwasher at home so to buy a box wasn't viable and we were left unable to use the dishwasher provided during our stay. Not happy with the attitude you say you want our stay to be comfortable and enjoyable but you can't even put a simple thing like this right. Seems as though things have changed not for the better now.

We had a lovely stay at Striding Edge lodge. It was a real home from home as usual and the new kitchen was a nice surprise on arrival. The lodge was very clean, and the hot tub a welcome treat each night after long walks during the day. We look forward to returning again in the future.

Another lovely stay at Striding Edge. The Christmas decorations were especially nice giving a lovely festive feel. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The lodge and location What one experience e.g attraction, walk, day out would you recommend for our future guests? Local walk to Wansfell

We enjoyed another fantastic fortnight stay in the lakes. The weather was fab the lodge was clean and cosy, a real home from home and we left feeling very relaxed. We love the position of Striding Edge, we don't feel overlooked and the lodge has fantastic views. I would recommend this lodge to all my family and friends. Thanks again to the lodge owners for providing us with such lovely accomodation to relax in and also thank you to Lake District Lodge Holidays for an easy and pleasant booking transaction. We can't wait to visit again next year! What did you enjoy most about your stay? Everything, Striding Edge is a real home from home What one experience e.g attraction, walk, day out would you recommend for our future guests? Circular walk around Buttermere absolutely stunning and even a rock tunnel to walk through which is exciting for children.

We enjoyed our stay at striding edge lodge with our grandchildren. We had a problem with no hot water on the Sunday morning and called the helpline ,they rang back after 20 minutes and tried talking my husband through the problem,but when this didn't work the maintenance man called and sorted it out in 5 minutes .We did feel that parts of the lodge looked a little tired , mainly kitchen floor and kitchen cupboards so I think a little TLC could sort this out.Loved the location and the children enjoyed the park area . What did you enjoy most about your stay? Location What one experience e.g attraction, walk, day out would you recommend for our future guests?

Stayed here for a long weekend and we enjoyed every moment. The location is so picturesque and only a short drive into Windermere or Ambleside. Lodge came stocked with all the required cooking utensilspans you could need and has a nice homely decor inside. The beds were comfortable, and the showers had good pressure. The outside seating area and hot tub are at the back of the lodge which provides some privacy from the main path through the park. Overall we loved our stay here. The only negative thing I would say is that the lodge does not have it's own internet router, so you have to conncect to the general park wifi which wasn't very good. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Beautiful location What one experience e.g attraction, walk, day out would you recommend for our future guests? Enjoy the scenery on a walk or take a trip into Windermere

We really enjoyed our stay at striding edge lodge the lodge was literally home from home had everything we could've needed and more lovely personal touches. Our only complaint was the hot tub wasn't very powerful but still lovely we would definitely stay again. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Time to relax What one experience e.g attraction, walk, day out would you recommend for our future guests? We didn't get to visit anywhere it was to busy
