Wainwright Lodge Reviews

Lake District Lodge holidays were borderline impossible to get hold of prior to our stay which caused unnecessary inconvenience. Lodge was great but a few niggles. It was freezing in December and we could only get the heating to come on for a few hours at a time so overnight it went off and our baby woke up cold. No plug sockets near the bed. Only one bath at for two bathrooms. Internet didnt work as advised do we had to call technical support and pay for a connection.
Really comfortable lodge . Beds comfortable. We used jacuzzi. Plenty of utensils. For cooking. Showers good . Heating good when cold . The tea pot needs replacing. The spout was broke when we arrived but has been glued back on .down side pub was not open on site . Even though times said it was .
Debbie
We had a wonderful stay at Wainwright lodge, we have stayed in a few lodges at Limefitt and this is the best, lovely and modern and nice and roomy. We will definitely be back
Had a great week once again at Limefitt Park staying at this fantastic lodge. Not stayed at this particular lodge before Lodge kitted out to a high standard and hot tub was perfect after walking each day. A big thank you to the owners for letting us stay in your amazing lodge. Phil P Wrexham
We had a fantastic week stay at Wainwright Lodge MonFri. The location of the site itself was perfect set in a stunning peaceful valley with incredible views but only a 812 minute drive to Ambleside, Windermere & Bowness. Theres a great pub on site with pool table, darts board & sky sports, plus a small conveince shop at reception. Booths supermarket is only 8 mins away too. The lodge itself was everything we could have asked for clean, spacious, comfortable & ridiculously well equipped! The kitchen is a good size & had every pan & utensil you could need pint glasses & plastic hot tub glasses were a bonus! The hot tub was powerful without being noisy & the views of the fields were bliss plus we enjoyed spotting the occasional sheep! Internet & smart TV in the lounge was spot on & check in and out was seamless. We couldnt have asked for more, the owners have a gem on their hands with this one & were very much hoping to be booking again! 5 all round
Beds and sofas were extremely comfortable. But the lodge wasnt clean. Weird residue on cutlery. Cobwebs everywhere inside and especially outside the lodge. When you open a door from the outside theres colonies of insects living inside the door frames. WiFi never worked, TV wouldnt connect to any type of network, luckily we brought an XBOX down. Honestly if there was a little more effort on cleaning the lodge, it would of easily been 4 stars

Really enjoyed our stay, lovely presented lodge and everything we needed, however, the sofas were covered in dog hair and crumbs as we arrived so had to hoover them ourselves. Not usually an issue as we have a dog ourselves so understand this is likely but looked like they hadnt been cleaned in a while. Other than that our stay was perfect and we would recommend others to stay.
Danielle
Absolutely fantastic lodge very well equipped, had everything we needed, Hot tub came in useful after a busy day of walking and was spotless everywhere! Great Location for great walks. The pub on the site was fantastic great food and Entertainment. We will Definitely be booking again.

We've been visiting Wainright Lodge since 2020, this year we loved the new kitchen and hot tub upgrades. ..! Views from the deck are lovely and it was a very peaceful, enjoyable week! We've booked again for April next year, our little boy had a fab time and wanted to return! As did we all!
Spotlessly clean. Had everything you could need. Very comfortable beds. Hot tub was lovely and we used it a great deal.

We had a lovely relaxing break at the lodge. The views were stunning and the park was so peaceful.Thankyou for having us, we will definitely return
We loved our stay at the lodge. Fluffy towels and the most comfortable beds we have slept in!! The hot tub was a gods send when it rained non stop, and the facilities in the kitchen were great. The showers were hot and powerful, and the heating very efficient. All five of us, plus the dog really enjoyed our stay! The only small thing would be there was only one hand wash in the ensuite, which we moved to the main bathroom, so we didnt use the ensuite toilet as there was nothing to wash our hands with. If we had known in advance we would have brought some extra with us.
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.
