  It saddens me to write that me & my partner were extremely disappointed with this lodge .

  I had read some reviews prior to going that mentioned this particular lodge was a bit run down & that fixtures & fittings needed up dated , but thought these things would have been addressed since then & especially after lockdown & due to Covid . On arrival the lodge did look a bit dilapidated in comparison to the surrounding lodges , the wood is rough looking & tired . The lodge itself inside also looked tired when entering , the windows had dirty smears over them as if they hadn’t been cleaned properly which made it look scruffy with the sun shining through . Foam Packers from the side of the sofas were hanging out or on the floor - which I presume were meant to keep the covers in place . On first impressions I would have expected a higher standard for the money which was £565 for the weekend. The grill tray & oven were dirty & had not been cleaned . Glasses & cups were dirty also . There was severe mould , cobwebs & dust down the back of the double bed in the main bedroom which made the room feel damp . All in all extremely upsetting that the lodge was not up to standard. On a positive note the location was great & surrounding facilities and we were blessed with the weather . We are local to the area & wanted to support local businesses after the last few years we’ve had to help the local economy get back on its feet , but sadly I’d not be returning to this lodge . This is the second review I have wrote via this email link & I have not had any response or feedback which is frustrating. I can forward some photos of the condition of the lodge that I have taken . Look forward to your response Suzanne Hemingway.

  Book as a short mon-fri stay.

  Price seem good when we booked. But by the time we could check in at 3pm on Monday, and they realised we had to be out by 10am fri, we felt slightly cheated. However I beleive this would be the case at most parks. The lodge appeared clean and welcoming on arrival. But as time went on the 'cracks' started to appear. One of the two small leather sofas had a broken spring, making it virtually unusable or at best uncomfortable. The curtains in the main bedroom were mouldy. Not much more to say about that. The outside deck was extremely slippery, it rained the whole time we were there so it was to be expected. However the layer of green slime that covered the deck did not help. We took our dog with us, I read all the info the website had to offer on bringing your pet along. But it wasn't made apparent untill reading the manual in the lodge that no pet should be left alone in the lodge at any time. We would have left her at home had we have known. The worst point is that we left a very detailed explanation of all theys faults and a few more on departure, a courtesy call to inform us of action they will take to rectify the issues would have been nice. On a lighter note the on site pub 'HayBarn Inn' was excellent. Good home cook style food, reasonably priced. And the staff/landlady was lovely! The area was beautiful and so was the lodge, for the most part. Just a few issues to address. We would return (without the dog) if we were assured the issues had been delt with. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Hot tub What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Shopping in Windermere

  Very disappointing on arrival regarding maintenance issues which some were resolved during our stay.

  We arrived at Robin View lodge which from outside looked lovely, entered the lodge and everything looked great. The living area was just big enough for us, the kitchen was all new and well equipped. Walking through the lodge we were hit with a very strong smell of damp. We opened the main bedroom and the smell hit us in the face, it was disgusting. We complained to the office which were more than helpful, they arrived the next day, stripped the beds, curtains etc and carried out a deep clean on the carpet to try and help with the smell. We were asked to let it dry out overnight which we did. The next morning the smell was still just as bad. We contacted them again were they came to put a dehumidifier in the room to try and draw out the moisture in the room, so again we gave it another night (staying in two single beds while all this was going on). We contacted them again the next morning as the smell was still the same, we were advised the maintenance guy (that was very helpful) was on his way to rip the carpet out and replace it. This was done within a few hours and we were happy with the new carpet that was fitted, but when the room was warm the smell still lingered but it was much better and we were happy enough for the remainder of our holiday. We were compensated with What did you enjoy most about your stay? The Lake District in general. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Visiting Storrs Hall.

  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

  This was our first stay at Robin Lodge but had been to Limefitt many times previously.

  So location and area wise it was spot on as per usual. Park is well looked after and has stunning views. Staff at reception are always lovely and helpful, The view from this lodge is lovely as you get to see the horses as well as the mountains. Lots of privacy, with the hot tub being closed ff from the road and next to trees.The hot tub is well maintained and really made the vacation extra special and relaxing! Love how it has direct access to the lodge and main bedroom. However, I would strongly recommend bringing lots of extra towels with you. You can tell this is a well used lodge, it has quite a bit of wear and tear in places, mainly the bathroom and kitchen. However, everything works perfectly. Most of the wear and tear is cosmetic.The cooker could maybe do with an upgrade and there seems to be a lot of plastic bowls and cups that I suspect have been left by previous visitors. It is a gorgeous little, comfy lodge, perfect for a couple and little doggy. It is so warm and cosy, makes a great weekend winter break. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Hot tub and location What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Lots of lovely walks near by. Nice onsite pub.
