What guests are saying
Excellent lodge that has a lot of extras like an air fryer.
The lodge is comfortable and spacious for a family of four. Extremely dog friendly, even has a box of dog toys and spare leads, bowls etc. We knew the hot tub was broken when we booked, but it would have been a real bonus if that had been working. The decking area is really nice to sit on, but an overgrown tree in front of the decking does obscure the view a little, it would be nice if this could be cut back. All in all, a lovely place to stay and we will be booking this lodge again I. The future.
On first appearance all looked lovely but on closer inspection it was a little grubby.
(Stains on the carpet) The cleanliness certainly could be improved upon. The worktops felt very tacky and the oven and oven utensils had passed their sell by date. The biggest disappointment of all, having chosen the hottest week of the year was no parasol (we found a completely broken one thrown under the lodge) to give shade on the decking area for us and our doggies which meant we had to stay indoors more than we would have liked. TV channels were few and far between and the WIFI dropped out too often.
The lodge was beautiful had everything we needed This is the first time we have stayed in the elder lodge and hopefully not the last
Fantastic location, lodge was beautiful, very spacious 2 big comfortable settees, beautiful bedrooms with very comfy beds an skylight so we were able to watch the stars in bed
Nice spacious and comfy lodge.
Well equipped and nice quiet location. Would definitely come back.
Excellent base to visit the Lake District.
Very Comfortable and well organised lodge.
The lodge was well laid out catering for our needs, as well as our dog.
The lodge, however is in need of some TLC and checks of cleanliness needs carrying out prior to occupancy of paying guests, and not just a lip service. I say this as a pair of blood stained ladies underwear was found in the under sink cupboard by my mother in-law, as well as filthy hair brushes in the bedside cabinet in the twin room(Photos available if required). Apart from these issues we enjoyed our our stay and left the lodge cleaner than how we found it.
Generally a good stay, the haybarn pub was really good with great food if only it had been open earlier for breakfast.
Our lodge was very dog friendly but had issues with the shower holder not working plus the hot tub was out of order, could do with alot of tlc
Overall stay was very good as was the last time we stayed.
The property itself is very spacious and has everything needed .. but we feel it needs a little updating in places, the sofas are getting worn and the decor could do with a freshen up. The lodge was not as clean as it should have been on arrival but everything said we would definitely return to this lodge, great location on the site too. Thank you.
We had a lovely stay at Elder Lodge.
It was the first time staying at Limefitt as we have previously stayed at White Cross Bay- we enjoyed the scenery and views a lot more, and it was lovely being able to enjoy the views from the decking area and hot tub! Inside the lodge everything was fine, and the bed was very comfy! Just a few things to highlight but weren’t bad enough to raise while there: the shower in the second bedroom was held up by a cable tie so probably needs fixing, one of the wall lights in the master bedroom didn’t work, there was a very strong drain smell from the utility room, and the hot tub decided to run its filtration programme at night which woke us up a few times. We really enjoyed the holiday though, thank you.
we have stayed in Elder Lodge on several occasions and have always had a wonderful time ,the Lodge is spacious and comfortable.
Holiday property was lovely and clean, great little bits left like a pint of milk in the fridge, tea bags ect to get us going the night of arrival.
In a few places maintenance was needed on the lodge, peeling panels and some scuffs to bathroom door however I wouldn't mark the property down for this. The site was lovely and the dog field was great for our dog to run around, only down side is some owners down pick up their dog poo!!! I know the park can't police this and there are plenty of bins so very disappointing owners aren't picking up in this lovely environment.
A lovely lodge, warm and cosy with all you could need for a weeks holiday.
Loads of space and the utility room was useful fior our dog food etc. Nicely decorated for Christmas. A few problems - a dvd player was listed but wasn’t there, the basin leaked in the main bathroom and the radiator didn’t work in the second bedroom. Wouldn’t stop us returning but hopefully in drier weather.
The hot tub jets don’t seem to be working very well.
Jets 2 button doesn’t do anything and we found bits of jets in the bottom of the hot tub (left on step when we departed). Both showers keep going hot and cold and the kitchen in particular needs some tlc as doors were chipped and peeling. TV also has a permanent patch on it that looks like light reflection but is in fact some sort of damage.
Everything was just perfect.
The lodge was clean and well maintained. We was so surprised by everything that was there to make our stay so comfortable. We couldn't believe all the extras that we took with us, like washing up liquid and cleaning products was all provided (normally you only get enough for a day or so). Tea towels, kitchen roll, cooking oil, even a little sewing kit. It really was brilliant. The Haybarn is a great little pub for the end of a long walk. All staff on the park and in the Haybarn are all so lovely and friendly. If I had to pick on something (which is really hard to do because it was amazing) is the hot tub guys came to clean it at 730 on our last morning waking us up BUT as we had to pack up and leave by 10 it really wasn't an issue and it was nice to know its been cleaned properly for when you arrive. All in all it's a 10/10 from us
Beautiful property we felt very lucky to be there and enjoyed the stay especially the hot tub.
Would love to return.
We have stayed in Elder Lodge on numerous occasions and always found it very comfortable and a home from home this last stay was even better the Lodge had been a little updated and little extra touches like the welcome pack even for our four legged family member, we will definitely be back hopefully soon.
Amazing stay, truly beautiful
Lovely holiday, great location and perfect for us.
The lodge is really well maintained and is so doggy friendly, which was excellent. The facilities were good, we loved having access to a washing machine and tumble dryer and my husband loved the hot tub! The only negative was that it wasn’t spotlessly clean when we arrived, with food on the chopping boards and tags from clothes left in the bedroom by a previous occupier. It would also be good to have a couple more fans available as the lodge gets very hot in the sun and the only fan available isn’t fit for purpose. We had a lovely time and would definitely use the lodge again!
Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased that you had an enjoyable stay, enjoying the hot tub too! We take all comments on board regarding the cleanliness of the lodge and these comments will be passed on to the relevant time. The Lake District Lodge Holidays Owner Relations Team
We have stayed before and found it okay, this time my wife fully hoovered on arrival, the plugs in both utility and bath are not operational, I payed for premium internet and was unable to even get weather updates ( no internet service at all) No phone service at all, we left a day early because we could not get any hot water to wash or shower unless the central heating was on which left the lodge unbearably hot, we could not find any instructions for any appliances especially the TV ( 5 different remotes in a drawer) Thanks Steve
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We are sorry to hear that had to hoover on arrival, and of the issue that you experienced with the heating. We will pass on your comments to the lodges management services to look into this. The internet is provided by the park, and is outside of our control. We take all comments on board. Thank you- The Lake District Lodge Holidays Owner Relations Team
This is our 5th visit to Elder Lodge we feel like its a home from home we love the space in the bedrooms and comfortable beds it make`s for a wonderful break.
We have stayed on this park a few times but this lodge was by far the best.
Lots of space well equipped with everything you need, comfortable and the location very good. Loved the homely feel in the lodge, pictures and ornaments
Fantastic property, our family felt at home as soon as we arrived.
We had a fantastic week,wheather could have been better but it was December.
The hot tub was amazing. Lovely meal in the pub dog walking field was very good for the furboy. The lodge could do some tlc in some areas but we loved the lodge and the beds and bedding was fantastic.we will definitely be back to the elder lodge
we really enjoyed our stay, really good location.
but the photos on the website need updating , we were dissapointed with the lodge , a lot of wear and tear and nothing like what we were expecting
Thank you for your feedback. The owner will see these comments and can action where necessary. We are glad that you had a lovely holiday. Lake District Lodge Holiday Owner Relations Team
lovely place to stay, perfect location on the park, would definitely come again
Perfect location for exploring the Lakes, amazing holiday lodge and site facilities.
The lodge was so cozy and clean with quality furnishings and fittings. The beds were so comfy too. Everything you needed was on hand in the lodge. Loads of accessories for fur babies which was a really nice touch. We would definitely return - we really loved it.
Stunning lodge with spectacular views and excellent amenities.
Would stay again
The lodge itself had everything we needed facilities wise.
But it also had a few issues the fridge freezer was so loud it could be heard from the bedroom it was constant whining noise. The tap was also dripping and we could see this was mentioned on a previous review. The main bedroom bed we felt like we had been bitten constantly when sleeping in this bed felt like fleas so we used the other room, but even now still feel all bitten.
Lovely clean and well equipped lodge still has a drippy tap seems this has already been mentioned in previous reviews.
Would be handy to have manuals on oven and washer etc for ease of use. Requested bed to be made into a king size twice and this never happened mattress on single bed very soft and squeaky needs replacing. Overall a lovely stay and would return however the park itself needs to do something about the sheep that run loose leaving mess all over they even got into dog field and left mess that my dog loves to eat she spent the whole holiday with a bad stomach!
We had a lovely stay at Elder Lodge it was very comfortable a real home from home the views were lovely especially from the hot tub and the park is lovely and quiet with great walks for the dog we would definitely stay here again
Fantastic stay!
Lodge was in a great location with stunning views. Sitting in the hot tub looking out over the hills was a bonus. The lodge itself was really roomy. So well equipped not only for us but for our four legged friend. Especially impressed with the linen/dog room. Thanks for having us.
We are returning customers to this great park and lodge.
The lodge has everything you would need for a comfortable, relaxing stay and even has provision for your dog (towels/bowls). The hot tub was a god send as the weather was so warm, but even if the weather wasn't good, the hot tub is clean and a welcome additional feature. We did have an issue with the veranda gate not closing and our dog managed to push it open and take herself to the Haybarn pub for a pint (thank you much to the bar staff who kept her safe and returned her to us). The maintenance staff did repair this whilst we were there. There were also a dropping tap in the kitchen (reported to maintenance) and there was a couple of dirty towels in the bathroom on arrival (floor towel for the shower), but we had taken our own so it wasn't a big issue. Overall we really enjoyed our stay in this lodge and will look to book in the future.
Thank you for your comments, we are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We are sorry to hear of the issue with the gate, but we are glad that we were able to resolve the issue. We take all comments on board, and we will ask our Housekeeping Team to look into the issue with the towels. We hope to welcome you back. The Lake District Lodge Holidays Owner Relations Team.
A brilliant lodge.
Spacious well equipped. So comfortable didn't want to leave. In a lovely position. Quiet but only a few miles from Windermere itself. Nice walks for dogs with a dedicated field to run free.
Thank you for your kind comments, it is lovely to hear that you had an enjoyable stay. We hope to welcome you again. The Lake District Lodge Holidays Owner Relations Team
Wonderful lodge.
And a added bonus of a hot tub which were fantastic. Beautiful views from every angle. We brought our two golden retrievers on this break with us and they absolutely loved it too. Very dog friendly! Massive plus! Highly recommend this lodge/ place. We’ve already booked to come back again.
Amazing lodge, really clean, great location, hot tub is a nice bonus, strongly recommend this property for dog lovers, our dog absolutely loved it.
Thank you so much
Thank you for your kind comments. We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Elder. We hope to welcome you back.
Lodge was lovely!
Had everything we could possibly need, and was extremely equipped! The heating in the twin bedroom was very temperamental, so we had to keep the bedroom door open to keep it temperate in there. We did notice, not that it affected us in anyway, but it may be worth looking at, that the patio door in the living area didn’t look very secure when closed and locked. We can’t fault the lodge in anyway!
Thank you for your kind comments, we are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay in Elder. We will ask our Maintenance team to take a look at the heating, We hope to welcome you back.
Lovely lodge all home comforts with added extra of hot tub would recommend this lodge for all
Thank you for your kind comments, we are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and the use of the hot tub. We hope to welcome you back again.
From the moment we arrived on my 50th I was really excited as I had previously phoned and mentioned it was my 50th on arrival so was hoping for maybe a small token card or something but nothing I was a bit disappointed.
The place however was great it smelled so nice and was very clean . Our room was great there was lots of storage and the bed and bedding was so comfy even my husband said it was and he is fussy . My 15 year old daughter had the other room I asked to put the beds together so it was a big king-size she was delighted and the shower room was brilliant with good storage wardrobe too. We booked this especially as it had a hot tub and wow it was amazing myself and my husband had never been in one and it was spotless clean . It was pouring down but was so warm and with the flashy lights you forget it's raining . The little additions of the dog leads poo bags etc was such a nice touch I was impressed. My husband is the cook in our family and he loved the kitchen so much storage pans etc and the oven was amazing we had full chicken roast on Sunday cooked so well sitting round the big table watching a bit of tv . My dog loved it too all the walks round about and being able to be safe on the decking . I could go on how amazing our stay was all day but the only problem we came across was the tv only free view my husband loves his tv we even bought out fire stick but no I ternet connection . We didn't come away to watch TV all day but after a long walk you should have the option to watch more than free view channels. I would defo come again we had a good time .Next time also I think I would book Asda delivery to the site as booths etc was so expensive. All in all great comfy quiet beautiful place loved it . Thank you will definitely come again
Thank you for your comments. We are pleased to hear that you found the lodge to be clean and tidy. The WIFI is complimentary and provided by the Park. We hope to welcome you back.
We had a fantastic time at the lodge - it exceeded all our expectations!
The facilities were superb and it truly felt like a home away from home, especially for our furry friends who appreciated the thoughtful addition of dog toys. It's the little things like this that made our stay extra special. However, we did encounter a couple of minor issues that we feel could be improved upon. Firstly, we had some trouble setting up the TV as there was no internet connection available. We were disappointed that we couldn't access Netflix, but this was a minor inconvenience and didn't detract from our overall enjoyment of the lodge. Secondly, we were a little disappointed to find several stains on the duvet cover and sheets when we removed the bed linen. Whilst we understand that accidents can happen, we would have appreciated if the stains had been dealt with prior to our arrival. Despite these minor issues, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend the lodge to anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable retreat. Thank you for your hospitality and for making our stay so memorable!
Thank you for your kind feedback and recommendation. Unfortunately the wi-fi is managed by the park and so we cannot rectify this problem. We have alerted the housekeeping team regarding the stains you have mentioned. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and the facilities provided.
We loved the lodge.
It's very comfortable and has everything you need - plus, it is super dog friendly which suited us down to the ground! It's in a great location on the park (which was very quiet) and the addition of the hot tub was very welcome after a long day of walking! The pub on the park did some good food and beer and made catering for the family a far less stressful experience on holiday. We will be back.
Thank you for the feedback, we are so glad that you and your dog loved the lodge and local amenities. We look forward to welcoming you back soon.
Lodge was lovely and was spotless.
Everything was fantastic and would recommend booking. We stayed at the park before COVID so knew it was a lovely park but this was our first private booking and our first one with a hot tub. The facilities were great with everything you would need to get you through your stay. Would highly recommend and would definitely book again. Thank you
Many thanks for taking the time to submit your valued and positive feedback. We are delighted to hear that you had such an enjoyable stay in Elder Lodge and very much look forward to welcoming you back should you decide to visit again in the future.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lodge.
Everything was as shown and immaculately clean. The hot tub was a real treat
Fantastic holiday, really enjoyed it .
Amazing views , clean, everything you need for a wonderful stay.
Thank you for your kind feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay in Elder Lodge. We hope to welcome you back to stay again.
This was our first visit to the lodge but have stayed on the site previously.
We had a fabulous stay ,the lodge was very well equipped and it is beautiful .we would definitely recommend it to friends and family and will be booking again .The only negative and it is minor issue was the outside area and furniture could have benefited from power washing however this is something I am sure was on your to do list as the weather improves.This did not however spoil our stay and we know only too well how quickly the outside areas can deteriorate over the winter months. I was not even going to mention it but feel sure you would want to know as you obviously take tremendous pride in the upkeep of the lodge .Thankyou for a fabulous week and we hope to visit again soon.
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Elder Lodge. We will pass your comments regarding the outside area on to our maintenance team to ensure that our high standards are met. We look forward to welcoming you back.
The property was amazing it was very spacious & was very comfortable it also had all the amenities you have in your own home & the plus was a hot tub with amazing views.
will be definitely make another visit & highly recommend this property for a holiday
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Elder Lodge. We look forward to welcoming you back.
We have used Elder lodge several times in the past.
It is still nice but a bit worn round the edges and showing signs of wear. We had to complain that there were only two wine glasses, we had a leak under the unit which left us with a wet floor, there was a bees nest by the seating area which had to be removed and the power went off. Luckily it had happened before and we knew where the reset was outside. We did enjoy our stay but it’s honestly a bit expensive now and we shouldn’t have had all the above hassles.
Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay at Elder Lodge.

Beautiful place.
Lovely and clean love the 2 bathrooms when 2 couples are sharing …. The bed was really comfortable .. we will definitely be booking again.
Thank you for taking the time to submit your valued feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay in Elder Lodge and found the accommodation to be so clean and comfortable. We would love to welcome you back, should you decide to visit again in the future.
The decking required a jet wash.
There was a lot of algae which needed washing off. Neighbouring lodges were much cleaner on the outside.
Thank you for your feedback. We will make maintenance aware and will make sure that our high standards are met.
We had an amazing time at Elder Lodge.
It was very clean and comfortable. It is such a spacious lodge, very homely. We would have loved to stay longer. The park was very quiet and we felt very welcome. There were lots of extras such as towels for the dogs, poo bags, toys which was a lovely added touch. Thank you, we will certainly return again!
Thank you for your kind feedback. We are glad to hear that you had a great time at Elder Lodge. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon.
Fantastic accommodation, great for dogs and humans alike.
Plenty of space, comfort, and facilities that mean you don't need to worry about forgetting anything. Location is spot on too. Can't recommend highly enough.
Many thanks for taking the time to send feedback regarding your recent stay in Elder Lodge. We are delighted to hear that you had such a fantastic time and that you were delighted will all aspects of your stay. We very much hope that you will visit again and look forward to welcoming you back in the future
Another lovely stay in Elder Lodge.
This lodge is so well equipped and very comfortable. Would highly recommend staying here.
We’ve been coming to Limefitt for almost 10 years now, this was the best lodge we’ve stayed in by far.
It’s well planned, spacious, comfortable, spotlessly clean and equipped with everything from poop bags to a night light. We were a little apprehensive having seen a couple of the more recent reviews and whilst I agree there are some things that need addressing; the floor is dipped in parts (under the carpets) and needs looking at before it breaks completely, the vinyl coverings on the wardrobe doors are lifting slightly and there are a few other bits and bobs that just need some general maintenance. That said none of the ‘issues’ would have or did have any impact on your comfort or quality of stay. The lodge is lovely and that can’t be taken away, it’s a holiday home and wear and tear will happen. Overall we loved it and will come again.
Thank you for you valued feedback, we are so pleased to hear of how much you enjoyed your stay. We take all your comments onboard and these will be looked into by our Maintenance department, thank you for bringing them to our attention. Elder is a wonderful lodge with everything you could possible need to fully enjoy your stay. We do hope we will be welcoming you back soon.
another fabulous few days at Elder Lodge we absolutely love this lodge so relaxing and everything you could possibly need,this is our 3rd time there would have been more if not for covid lock down !
!!
Thank you for your feedback, we are delighted to hear of how much you enjoyed your stay. Elder is a fantastic lodge, perfect for everyone including your four-legged friends! We hope to welcome you back in the future.
2nd stay in Elder Lodge .
Comfortable lodge and well equipped. Hot tub a bonus . If I had to be critical the floor in bedroom and hall quite soft and dipped. Would stay again . Have been at this site 8 times.
Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry to hear of the issue with the floor and will pass this across to our maintenance team to investigate further. We hope this will not deter you from returning and we look forward to welcoming you back.
Having stayed here several times we were so excited to come back.
It has always been our favourite lodge and we were disappointed we missed out on availability last year and had to book an alternative however we have been left disappointed this time. The lodge is starting to look tired and there are 2 great big dips in the floor (one in the hall and one in the main bedroom). There was no welcome pack. 2 years ago the children received selection boxes and we were left biscuits and wine, nothing this year and no information booklet, which I was told had been removed due to covid but as everything else was still there, it was pointless really. The children were disappointed that the tree didn’t work ie it didn’t light up. I did report this and someone came to look at it but a few hours later it was broken again and never worked the entire stay. The blankets left on the couch clearly hadn’t been washed as they stunk of dogs. There was a blanket in the second room wardrobe too the same. We know it’s a dog friendly lodge but we’ve never had this before. There were only coasters on the table in a lodge for 4 and only 3 big plates. There were no robes and slippers in the bathroom as pictured in the listing. The water dispenser in the fridge was broken (missing the inside tube) . The remote buttons weren’t working properly. We couldn’t change sound or turn channel down, only up on most occasions. The children found this most annoying. The speaker bar is broken so had to have volume low or put up with the echo it created. One day we tried one of the lodge games kerplunk to find it was all broken and had been taped together in many places. We were told there was a site WiFi but we could only every occasionally access the bar one and sometimes another lodge’s. It wasn’t strong enough to be able to sign in to Netflix or to stream anything. We went to choices health club but they had issues with the boiler so the pool was 35 degrees which was far too hot for a swim. We were disappointed to find the pub had closed for the season when we visited on 2nd January. Nobody had informed us of this and all the signage just stated the Christmas new year openings and no mention of closing. Sadly after 8 years of booking with Lake District lodge holidays, we will not be returning next year . The prices are insane and I have no confidence in the standard of accommodation after issues with cleanliness last year and now feeling disappointed this year with what really was our happy place.
Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry to hear you did not fully enjoy your stay in Elder Lodge this time. Noting your comments on the floor and issues with some of the equipment, this will be passed to our maintenance team who will look into these. We are sorry you had problems with the Christmas tree lights, we will advise the owner of this and advise they may need to look into replacing these. Noting the cleaning issues, these have been reported to our Head Housekeeper who will speak with the cleaner. These comments are most unusual for Elder Lodge and it will be monitored more closely from now on. We are sorry to hear you were unable to use Choices Health Club to its maximum and the opening times of The Haybarn, unfortunately this is outside of our control and we are not responsible for the availability of these facilities. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience you have experienced during your stay, we take all feedback very seriously and we will act on everything you have said. Our prices are constantly under review and we would be more than happy to help locate you another stay for New Year 2022. Naturally there are increases in prices year on year and since your booking was processed in 2020, there has been two pricing increases since then. Elder Lodge is a fantastic 2 bedroom lodge, ideal for families and dog walkers! It would be our pleasure to welcome you back in the future and we do hope you will return.
Absolutely beautiful cabin, if you are a dog owner, this is the cabin to stay in, close to the local pub and lovely views, cabin has been well cared for, only criticism no control panel on hot tub, so made it difficult to use, will definitely be back when the prices return to normal
Thank you for your feedback, we are so pleased to hear of how much you enjoyed your stay. Elder Lodge is brilliant for families or walkers with four legged friends. Our prices are always under review and we would be more than happy to discuss future stays with you. It would be our pleasure to welcome you back in the future.
Lodge had everything and more than we expected; catered especially well for our dog.
Location ideal for walking. Will definitely be back to this area again; we all loved it.
Having stayed here previously we knew what to expect and as usual we were not disappointed see you again next year in June
The lodge is amazing, especially for dog owners and had lots of toy goodies for my dog, Lola, to enjoy, as well as lovely pictures of the owners labradors who are gorgeous!
! Unfortunately it didn’t have everything listed on the welcome email and I had to buy some poo bags and brought my own treats as the jar was pretty empty but I’m sure Lola didn’t mind. Very useful to have doggy bowls and towels as I’ve forgotten to take ours away with us before. I had to buy some poo bags so left them there for the owner/ next person to use, unfortunately no treats left to leave as Lola ate all ours. The park is beautiful and has lots of stunning views from all angles, as well as a lovely pub to sit and enjoy a drink or food overlooking the park and surrounding hills and the lodge was relaxing and private enough to enjoy feeling like your own little oasis. The lodge doesn’t have dedicated WiFi and no way of watching Netflix or prime, even via our mobiles, but it does have a move database with a selection of family friendly movies on to enjoy. The only downside we had was being without water for almost 8 hours on the Sunday from around 9am. We use these long weekends as relaxing time as a couple so only go off the park for short periods of time and spend most of our time on the patio, movie watching or in the hot tub. Not having water meant we couldn’t wash, which in turn meant we couldn’t use the hot tub either as you have to wash before/ after. This coupled with losing basic amenities like being able to flush the toilet all day spoiled our time relaxing. We only found out about the water issue when I rang to report it and was told to view social media for updates. No further communication or updates were given to me personally. The social media updates all had lovely apologies from the park and they offered drinking water (again only advised on Facebook, nothing locally) that we had to arrange collect ourselves but when paying over £1000 it’s not what you expect. As the cost had already doubled from what we’ve paid annually over the last 7 years we’ve been visiting, it meant we lost enjoyment of one of the two full days we had there, which was a shame and is definitely no reflection on the lodge, more Sykes Cottages and the parks management of the issue. Disappointing that even after arriving home we’ve not had any contact regarding this issue.
Thank you for your feedback, we are pleased to hear of how much you enjoyed Elder Lodge. The owners always like to make sure the dogs feel as much at home as the owners do and they like to leave some welcome treats for them. We are sorry to hear you were effected by the burst water pipe on Limefitt Park. I'm afraid this was something completely outside of our control, however, we understand how frustrating this must have been. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused. That said, we do hope you will return to Elder Lodge as it is a wonderful lodge that is very popular amongst our guests and four legged friends.
Excellent lodge, spacious and well laid out.
Very well equipped with essentials and a bonus that the dog crate was provided with essentials for the dogs.
Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted to hear of how much you enjoyed your stay. Elder Lodge is a super dog friendly lodge and is ideal for a family or a couple looking to relax for the week or spend each day hitting the peaks. It would be our pleasure to welcome you back.
Was concerned about the dog friendly as my son is allergic but fortunately he was fine.
You are right in front of the beer garden and I was again concerned but didn’t need to be we heard nothing. The food in the bar was very slow but with the wait. The cocktails at £7 was a slush puppy with alcohol. The tub was fantastic especially in the heatwave we experienced. Loads of fans and air conditioning unit which was a godsend. Would highly recommend this lodge.
Thank you for your feedback and we are pleased to hear of how much you enjoyed your stay. We are sorry to hear you did not have a great experience in the restaurant, unfortunately, this is something outside of our control as the restaurant is run and owned by Parkdean Resorts. Please do accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused. Thank you for recommending Elder Lodge, it is definitely one of our most popular lodges which guests like to visit year on year.
Dog friendly
When we arrived the twin room had not been made up a king size despite emailing on Monday and having confirmation that it was on the booking.
They did send someone over and if was rectified. The TV control in the living room needs replacing. You can not turn the TV down. Once again it would be absolutely great if this lodge would look to get dedicated wifi. Its the only thing that let's it down,
Elder Lodge is a lovely, well maintained property with excellent amenities and stunning views.
The service from LDLH was very good, including when there was a power outage affecting our lodge, which they dealt with almost immediately. Our only issue with the whole stay was the poor service at The Haybarn (onsite pub and restaurant) and the distinct lack of stock in the on site shop. The opening times of The Haybarn seemed to be limited to 6 hours per day (3pm to 9pm), with no lunchtime service which we found odd during half term. We had to figure this out for ourselves as the times weren’t clearly advertised anywhere. Whilst the food was very nice, the service times were abysmal - we waited well over an hour (sometimes closer to 2 hours) for food each time we visited. The tables were never fully occupied during our visits, so this can only mean that they were understaffed, which again seems really poor planning for half term. In addition, the communication about wait times was virtually non existent - only once did the app we ordered through inform us of a wait. The staff were very pleasant but it was obvious they were run off their feet and very stressed. The shop seemed to sell out of all essentials whilst we were there, which again seems poor planning on the part of the park. If I was an owner I’d be disappointed that the already basic on site services weren’t up to standard for guests staying w/c 31 May 2021. I’d love to visit again, however the extortionate prices for 2022 (almost double what we paid this year) coupled with concerns about the service on site would make me think twice at this stage. As a side note, I think it would have been nice to have some kind of welcome/info pack in the lodge, with basic information about the site and local area. This has been the norm in other lodges we have stayed in throughout the UK and I think guests would appreciate it.
Fantastic place to stay lodge was beautiful and well equipped my only issue was no instructions to any tech in lodge so didn't use it but would have liked too
This holiday was tinged with a bit of sadness tbh.
We love staying at limefitt and we’re very interested in booking another stay but quite frankly you’ve pushed us out of staying here again with the tremendous hike in prices for less nights stay. Absolutely disgusted. As for “Sykes “ - we had no interaction with you at all. Also this email is using surnames when asking for feedback - Thats friendly .

Short Break in the Lakes
We have stayed at Limefitt three times now, a great base from which to explore the Lakes. All three times have been enjoyable but Elder Lodge was exceptional. Home from home is a well used phrase, but this really was. All basic kitchen facilities were provided on arrival. Rooms were spacious and well equipped. Situated within a stones throw from the Clubhouse. Would definitely recommend to friends and family. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Somewhere nice to come back to after a day exploring the Lake District. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Too many to pick one out - but the scenery is a must.

If you are looking for a lodge that has everything, look no further than Elder Lodge. We loved our stay and so did our dogs. The lodge was spotless and everything you could wish for was provided, even down to treats and toys for the dogs. The location is peaceful but not to far from Windermere. The hot tub provided a way of relaxing after a day spent walking. We will definately be coming back. What did you enjoy most about your stay?

First impressions count
Having stayed in several lodges over the years I have to say what a surprise we had when we got to Elder Lodge. Having paid quite a lot less than other places were asking we certainly weren't expecting what we got in the least. We were taken aback with how much care and attention had been put into making sure that you have a lovely stay. The lodge was quite obviously well looked after, extremely clean and so welcoming even down to milk in the fridge for a nice cup of tea on arrival. I would say the lodge is owned and used frequently by dog lovers as the is extremely well supplied with everything you could possibly need for your dog as well as yourself, that said the place was so clean you could not tell dogs had been staying at all. As for the park itself 10/10 lovely staff and again so well looked after. We had such a lovely week in and around the Lakes I'm sure we will be heading back at some point soon and will defiantly be heading back to Elder Lodge. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Couldn't say that any one thing stood out above any other. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Boat trip around Lake Windermere
Lovely holiday in the Lake District
We really enjoyed our stay at Elder Lodge. The Lodge is very well furnished with everything that one would need to stay there. We enjoyed the tranquility and beauty of the location. We even managed on our last day to use the tub in the verandah. We would have liked to use it more but we were always out visiting the many beautiful spots in the Lake District. We would like to point out that the soap dispenser in the shower was missing and could not find any pegs when we did some washing. We would also like to suggest that the appliances manuals be left on the dinning table with the Limefitt Holiday Park information folder. We had a small problem with the washing machine which would have easily been resolved if we had the manual handy. We had to ask for a technician to show us how to open the machine. To the credit of the company, he arrived in less than an hour. Later on we managed to find the manual which was found amidst the travel brochures. We would also like to take this occasion to thank the staff at the office in Windermere for helping us to print our boarding passes for our return to Malta. Thanks. What did you enjoy most about your stay? As I have already said the comfort provided by staying at Elder Lodge and the beautiful surroundings of the complex What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? We particularly enjoyed the day when we visited lake Ullswater and its surroundings
Elder Lodge
We walked into the lodge and were bowled over by the quality and size of the place. Each room was lovely and well equipped. It had everything you could possibly need, cleaning stuff, dog bowls and beds, poo bags etc. The utility room was very handy complete with washer/dryer and again LOTS of cupboard space. The bedrooms were more than adequate. Both are en suite. The large T V. in the lounge has a sound bar ( something I have always wanted). Plenty of DVDS to keep you entertained. Lots of board games too which make for good fun. The decking area is really good with nice comfy furniture nice to laze some time away after a long day. The Hot Tub was awesome too. Nice to relax soaking in it having a nice wine. Unbreakable glasses of course. The only criticism i can offer is to have large bath towels, for the larger person and a tea cosy. I'm NOT complaining far from it. The vacuum cleaner needs a servicing. We would definitely recommend the Elder Lodge to anyone, which we have already. It's a home from home. We didn't want to keave. We'll be back. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The location and surroundings and the peace. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? I see this as a personal choice really. Best to explore.

Amazing lodge with almost everything thought of
We stayed for a long weekend and we had never been to this area but decided to try as seeing as our Springer boy Beau was the picture of dog friendly. The lodge was truly dog friendly and we were all impressed. The owner Shirley is obviously a dog lover. It has a warm tap outside and multiple dog bowls as well as dog treats upon arrival. It has a well stocked kitchen and everyone enjoyed the hot tub. We couldn't figure out all the electronic gadgets but this didn't stop us having a good time. When I say it had almost everything, the only thing we didn't have was cell phone coverage but thank goodness for Wi-Fi! We will be coming again for sure. What did you enjoy most about your stay?

Birthday week away
Was stunned by the interior of the lodge and thank you for making it very doggy friendly like home. However, we became very concerned on the safety of our belongings. In no fault of the lodge owners fault but the park. The use of customer service was rare, however on arrival as explained on the email, the keys would be locked and we were provided a number for the key safe, we found the key jammed into the front door of the lodge. There we also 2 days where we found our gate open and front door open and lights on when we got back from our all day adventures. We contacted the site and they explained that the only people whom would access the lodge are the hot tub guy which is fair enough as i would like it to be checked myself, but he explained that they wouldn't go into the lodge. The second day before leaving i got my other half to double check after i have locked up. Again everything was open. This problem was never solved. The first day our hot tub did not work so we couldn't enjoy time outside looking at the beautiful stars in the clear sky relaxing. Again they couldn't resolve it as we had to wait hours before it got warm and rules of the park is that we couldn't use it after 10pm which is understandable. The lodge itself was very convenient and everything was easily accessable and had everything to cook with like home. As stated kitchen rolls and toilet rolls would be provided, however wasn't. Again not an issue as i came with supplies. Will be staying again as it was a lovely and pleasant. What did you enjoy most about your stay?

This lodge is absolutely gorgeous, and also very modern. On arrival we had a little arrival pack with even some chocolate! We also had fresh milk in the fridge to get us started. The hot tub tops everything off, it was lovely and hot , and just nice to relax. Not to be picky but just warning Others who are staying ... but However, as never used a gas oven before we did not know how to get it started.

Booked again as soon as we got home
This is a very high quality well equipped lodge in a great location on the park but what made our holiday was all the extra touches within the lodge from the owner I found this extremely thoughtful and helpful and it made it feel like home from home. Even though im 32 years old there is a lot of places in the UK I've not seen and I did plan on booking in another part of the country for next year but when we we returned from this holiday I thought why go anywhere else and booked again straight away. For food I recommend the Mortal man just up the road, fab food and really dog friendly. Everywhere in the lakes is super dog friendly we took them on boats, on a steam train, to a car museum, up a mountain and in I don't know how many pubs and restaurants. Bring on next year What did you enjoy most about your stay? All the extra touches What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Cat bells

Lovely dog friendly Lodge
Having stayed in numerous lodges over the years at Limfitt Park this lodge is by far the best. A very warm welcome awaited us and our golden retriever Paddington. In fact a bowl of dog treats was left out just for him, you can imagine his delight. Lodge very spacious very clean with comfy beds. Nicely situated up by the pub. I would recommend this lodge and will be booking again for next year. Hot tub was an added bonus. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Very relaxed park, peaceful and quiet. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Recommend Quees Head, excellent food & service.
Beautiful Lodge, Stunning Location
The lodge was excellently appointed, the best we have seen so far. Absolutely everything we could think of was provided to make the stay as comfortable as possible. They paid a lot of attention to the little things as well. In summary and in no particular order, The beds were comfortable, the walk in wardrobes, utility room etc gave a lot of additional space for luggage so it didn't feel cluttered, the hot tub is always nice, the views are stunning, the decor was well thought out, the kitchen was well stocked, the hard drive of films provided was useful, the pub just up from the lodge was convenient, the jacuzzi bath and bathrobes was a nice touch etc. It rained a lot during our stay so the quality of the lodge really contributed to the quality of our holiday. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Relaxing hot tub combined with the stunning views of the troutbeck valley What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The Watermill, Ings. Great food and microbrewery.
The best yet
We What did you enjoy most about your stay? The fabulous views of the lakes What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The spectacular views retuning from Keswick to the Lodge.
Nice stay but needs improvement
Upon arrival the lodge looks beautiful and the inside looks lovely and cosy. We noticed excessive dust on the blinds in the bedroom quickly. This is an issue for my personally as I suffer with chronic asthma, so I wasn't too happy to be staying in a bedroom with so much dust so close to where I'd be sleeping. Also a lot of light bulbs were not working. A lot of the lights above the kitchen cabinets were out, with only 1 or of 5 working? The hot tub cover is broken too, which makes it difficult to pull off and put back on. I ended up cutting my hand quite badly on this. The safety balls to keep the metal bars in place are missing, which means the metal bar slips out of place. Overall I did enjoy my stay here. I would just expect closer attention to detail and a thorough clean of the lodge. My doggies enjoyed their stay; the area was lovely for walks. The hot tub was lovely once inside.

Our elder lodge joliday
Upon arrival at elder lodge, lodge was clean, tidy and well stocked ( household cleaning/ dish washer/washer tabs). Spacious and very well furnished. On the Monday I had to call the emergency phone number for lake district lodge holidays because there was no hot water. They sent someone out with 30 mins, for which he said we need a heating engineer. Heating engineer was there within 40 mins. New part to the boiler fixed a couple of hours later, all good. Lake district lodge holidays were excellent and the people who were sent out to us. Can't fault them and have booked 3 more times with them in other lodges. Bad luck the boiler broke down the why I gave GOOD referring to condition of lodge otherwise it would of been excellent. 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? Site excellent for walks

Great stay again a return visit to this lodge.

Elder Lodge
Our long weekend at Elder Lodge was excellent - we would definitely go back. The lodge cared for all our needs and especially the dogs they have thought of everything. The lodge has plenty of living space and the hot tub was fantastic.
