What guests are saying
We had a lovely week at Horseshoe Lodge.
The lodge is in a great position with fantastic view over the hills and in the afternoons the sun was lovely on the patio area. The seating in the lodge was very comfortable and plenty of room for 6 people. The bedrooms had plenty of wardrobes. There was parking for two vehicles. We would visit the lodge again
The horse shoe lodge offered spacious accommodation, with all the home comforts that you could want.
The view from the decking was stunning, we managed to see plenty of wildlife on the hills including deers. I'd recommend Limefitt Park if you are looking for a quieter site with fantastic local walks.
Hi Alison we are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Horseshoe lodge. Love to welcome you back in the future. Anthony & Gail
This is a Lovley lodge with stunning views Great place to relax with excellent walks on your doorstep
We are glad you enjoyed your stay, hope to hear from you again in the future. Regards Anthony & Gail
Horseshoe lodge was the perfect stay for us with friends.
It was spacious, clean, a great location and had everything we could have needed for a great week in the Lakes. We are already looking to book again.
Pull-up nob on bath/shower bar needs attn.
Hi. Thanks for letting us know. I've been up since taken the valve out and released it, as it had got stick.
The lodge was a wonderful experience.
Would definitely come back and stay again. Location was perfect as everything was close by and the shop on site was also really ideal. We took two cars and both were parked up outside the lodge with ample space. The lodge itself had evening we needed for a relaxing stay. The only criticism I would give were the number of spiders that were there due to cobwebs but didn’t bother any of us that stayed there as no phobias. When we return to the Lake District we would not think twice about staying here again. The views were also beautiful from the living/kitchen windows .
Sorry but there's nothing our cleaners can do with the cobwebs around the lodge outside. You can clean them away one day and there back the next. So glad it never spoilt your stay at Horseshoe.
We had a wonderful stay at Horseshoe lodge.
We can highly recommend it. Many thanks and best wishes, Cecilia
We have stayed at Limefitt Park for holidays and short stays for over 25 years.
We can say that this lodge is by far the best lodge we have stayed in over during that time. We will certainly be looking to stay again in the very near future.
beautiful lodge, well furnished and well looked after.
Good quality bedding etc, one of the best we’ve stayed in The only downside for us was the tv… maybe being picky… unless we couldn’t get it to work properly… but not enough channels, couldn’t connect to internet to get other channels so really struggled on an evening Other than that it was a clean comfortable lodge with high quality furnishings, stunning views and the sunbeds are a nice touch.!!!
we enjoyed our stay at this lodge, it was spacious and had a lovely living area and dining area.
The outdoors was nicely equipped for the hot weather and the view was great. The guide of things to do was very helpful as it was our first time at the Lake District. I would recommend staying here at this lodge as our stay was very pleasant.
The lodge turned out to be better looking than the pictures which was a pleasant surprise, and as mentioned in other reviews, the views from the decking area outside were just amazing!
Only advice I would give would be to attach hooks on bathroom door for towels or a towel rail and coat hooks above the shoe rack. No option to hand wet coats as you enter the lodge. Otherwise no complaints at all.
A lovely lodge in a great spot on Limefitt Park.
The location of Limefitt within the Lake District is perfect, with stunning views. The lodge itself is clean and comfortable and we would definitely stay here again. I would recommend a few improvements which would make a huge difference, in my opinion. More hooks! There isn’t anywhere to hang coats up, which is absolutely necessary when you get caught in the Cumbrian rain. And some hooks in the bathrooms would help with towels etc. The carpet and internal doors could do with being updated, as they are starting to feel a bit tired and dated. We also weren’t sure if the washing machine worked or not.? We couldn’t figure it out, but that might just be us :-)
The property was nice enough the decking area being the best think about it.
it unfortunately turned wet and chilly at the beginning of our stay, the only form of heating was an electric fire that didn't let out mu h heat and the bedrooms where cold. No room in kitchen to put stuff when staying for a week and no Internet.
Lovely well equipped lodge, with stunning views, in a really quiet location.
Would definitely recommend.
Been to visit horseshoe lodge 3 times now, absolutely love it.
Sure to return another year, our go to place in the Lake District! Fabulous.
Lodge was exactly as described, well presented, clean, comfortable and homely.
We had a lovely stay.
One word- AMAZING!
Better than expected. Looks much better than in a photos. Very clean and spacious lodge, has all amenities and facilities. Perfect for family holidays. Views are magnificent! Definitely highly recommended.
The lodge was very good.
Layout was good. The views from the balcony were exceptional. There was an issue with obtaining a consistent supply of hot water in the en suite, both shower and basin. Kitchen equipment lacked certain items for example a sufficient number of saucepans. The cooker does not allow you to use the grill and oven at the same time. Otherwise excellent holiday accommodation.
Lovely lodge in a perfect setting
Thank you for taking the time to submit your valued and positive feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay in Horseshoe Lodge and look forward to welcoming you back, should you decide to visit again in the future.
This property was exactly as described in the listings and the views were absolutely stunning.
The property itself was a great size and was spotlessly clean. On arrival all beds had been made up with hand/bath towels left on each bed which was a great touch. The kitchen was well stocked with every cooking utensil/pots/pans you would ever need and the dishwasher is a god send. The few very small negative points I would feedback are: - - En suite shower could use a non-slip mat as my elderly mother slipped - TV was very poor with very few channels, maybe let people know this - No kitchen cupboard space for food - Wi-Fi is very poor and this along with zero TV channels is a bit frustrating with kids so would suggest downloading movies etc. before arrival All in all we had a great break away and the positives to this property far outweighed these small negatives . If we return to this area we would definitely look to book this property again.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments, we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay. We have taken on board your suggestions and valued feedback and appreciate you bringing these points to our attention. We will ensure a non-slip mat is installed in the property and look into the possibility of making space for food in the kitchen cupboards. We will also investigate the lack of TV channels and update this if possible. Unfortunately the poor Wi-Fi is out of our control as it is a park issue. We will, however, relay your feedback to them. Should you decide to visit the area again, we very much look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
The property is of a high standard and is comfortable; it is worth investing your holiday money in it.
We had an absolute wonderful time, and the view was absolutely amazing.
Didn’t want to leave what an amazing week
We absolutely loved it!
! Great site and brilliant lodge with everything we could possibly need for us and the kids. Top marks all round. Just had to mark the cleanliness down a bit because of some pots and glasses that looked like they'd been through dishwasher but were still dirty, some rubbish behind/under beds and in a drawer, and the outside table hadn't been wiped down - but apart from that, really clean and tidy. Brilliant wee holiday and 4 days just wasn't enough. First time to Lakes and we'll definitely be back, and hopefully to Horseshoe Lodge. Ps for owners - think the bulb in the extractor hood needs replacing, and temperature control on shower seemed to be stuck on 38 (?)
Brilliant stay, good clean lodge and can't fault anything.
The only things which I think could benefit the site overall is maybe a bigger store (or abit more range) and maybe a lunchtime time slot at the pub as it only opened 6pm. However everything was great. Thank you.
Holiday park itself very well maintained.
Chalet clean and spacious. Downsides? Mentioned to the reception staff that the cupboards were so full of pans, crockery etc, there was no room for the shopping we had- 3 of us staying for a week. Also, internet variable and weak at times. Other than that, no complaints
Amazing lodge, very clean and welcoming.
Limefitt Park is such a lovely site, with little bunnies and sheep coming to see us often! We had such good weather too, which meant a wonderful holiday with many memories! Price was £1000 which I thought was just about reasonable, however the same week next year is £2600. Sykes, you have to kidding?! Might go abroad next year, as I believe the Italian lakes are cheaper than the UK! Shame you've let yourself down like this. For this reason, I will go private in future and not use Sykes.
Thank you for your feedback, we are delighted to hear of how much you enjoyed your stay in Horseshoe Lodge. The lodge is in a wonderful location and is well looked after by the owners who make sure it is fully equipped with everything you need to enjoy your stay. Our prices are constantly under review and we would be more than happy to discuss stays with you to find one more within your budget. We do hope you will return to us in the future.
The holiday was perfect in every way, even the weather.
The down side is that when we returned home we went to book again for 2022, which we always do, only to find out the price of the holiday had more than doubled ! Sadly at well over £2000 this was out of our reach. This is the only reason I would not recommend Sykes Holidays.
Thank you for your feedback, we are delighted to hear of how much you enjoyed your stay. It is a shame you felt the need to provide such a low score considering how much you enjoyed your stay. Our 2022 prices are constantly up for review and they are reviewed weekly. It would be our pleasure to welcome you back and hopefully find another lodge that is within your price range.
Apart from bathroom all other aspects were perfect.
Lovely place to stay. Fully furnished and recommended.
Lodge was good.
Great had two parking spaces. Decking large and comfortable. Would use again, On,y negative ... could have been a bit cleaner. Blinds and display bowl not clean.
Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry to hear the cleaning has not reached the standard expected on this occasion. Had this been brought to our attention on arrival, we would have been happy to arrange the return of the cleaner to address any issues. We hope this will not deter you from returning and we look forward to welcoming you back.
Lovely stay at Horseshoe Lodge.
Peace and quiet was what we needed and definitely what we got. We can’t wait for our next visit
Most pleasant stay
A most relaxing weekend. The lodge and it's surroundings were lovely. Even the rain didn't dampen our spirits. Hope to visit again in the future. Great stay with our adult family. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The surroundings What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Aira force
horse shoe lodge stay
We all enjoyed our stay at horseshoe lodge, lodge fantastic, setting, and amazing views, park peaceful and idea for children, will definitely be back
Wonderful lodge great location
Had a wonderful time staying in horseshoe lodge on limefitt. Lovely views and some great walks on your doorstep. The lodge is fully equipped with all you need for a relaxing stay. Looking forward to our next visit! 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? Carmel races
Review Horsshoe
Second time at Horseshoe Lodge, very good .Only problem was dog poo on the grass when we arrived which we did not see as we unloaded & trod in without realising.Dissapointing that guests do not clean this up. Suggestion for future, put some hooks on bathroom & bedroom doors. What did you enjoy most about your stay? the views What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? walk up Yoke via Garburne Pass, strenuous but great views,& 7 & 10 year old grankids managed it
summer holiday
Horse Shoe Lodge was a fabulous place to stay whilst we, a family of four, enjoyed our time in the Lake District. The lodge was home from home, it was clean, spacious and had everything a family could ask for. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The quietness at night after a busy day out. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? We enjoyed the day out on the steamers.
Lovely location in the Lakes
This was our first UK break (usually opt for abroad) due to new baby. We were delighted with both the property and the location. The park is situated close to Windermere but far enough to feel a bit rural. The views from the lodge are idyllic and uninterrupted. I had thought a site like this would be rows of lodges but they were well spaced out which gave a good level of privacy. There is a good dog park on site and a pub within a short walk. The generous outdoor / decking space is great for barbeques and outdoor socialising. The lodge itself was so well equipped, the owners really have thought of everything, right down to having baby cutlery in the drawer! The kitchen has everything you could possibly need plus much more (a pizza cutter??) - all cooking utensils, pots, pans etc. I was very impressed with the planning, it made the stay so much easier to have everything at your fingertips and not have to keep nipping out to get things. One improvement which could be made (if any) would be to add either a BBQ or an area to put a disposable BBQ / stand. The lodge was clean and tidy, board games provided, good wifi connection, decent sized TV, very comfy beds with good quality bedding etc. Even with a young baby, it managed to feel like home from home. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Horseshoe Lodge and will definitely be booking another family stay. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Comfort and ease of holiday due to owners thoughtful provisions at the Lodge. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Visit Bowness
Excellent break
We booked 2 lodges. Horseshoe was the better one of the two. Everything you need in the lodge. All kitchen items, towels etc. no point taking any utensils. Waking up the the views of the fells in the morning was the best part of this lodge. The porch furniture was also very nice and comfortable. The furniture and beds were all modern and comfortable, it really felt like home for a few days. There were some board games included which we enjoyed as well. We would definitely return again. Parking for 3 cars. A park on site for little ones. Only very minute downside was the shower in the ensuit was very slow to drain. Didn't hinder our visit in anyway but could be something that can easily be addressed. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The views and the comfort of the lodge. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Walk to aria waterfall.
A week at Horseshoe Lodge
The whole family really enjoyed the stay at Horseshoe Lodge. The kids loved the site play area, sports field and paddling in the stream. The adults appreciated the location with it being a short drive from lots of different attractions. The lodge was clean and full of all the necessary things to make our stay very comfortable. Overall a very easy and enjoyable holiday from the booking to checking out. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Going out on the decking in the morning. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Beatrix Potter World.
Autumn at Horseshoe Lodge
Lovely lodge with three bedrooms, well equipped kitchen and plenty of sofa space. The site is quiet and secluded with a handy shop as you do need to drive into Windermere for supplies. Will book again. The Haybarn on site is cosy and you would think you were in a lakeland village pub. What did you enjoy most about your stay? seclusion, views What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Drive through kirkstone pass beautiful views
Horseshoe lodge 8th to 11th January 2016
We booked this lodge for my birthday weekend. This was our first stay at limefitt and we weren't disappointed. Lodge is lovely, comfortable and well equipped with fab views. We would definitely book this lodge again! The on site pub is also great with nice food.
Another visit to Horseshoe Lodge
A lovely holiday lodge in a beautiful location. The lodge had everything required to make our stay comfortable. The icing on the cake was sitting on the decking looking out over the hills. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The comfortable surroundings in the lodge, as we had a lot of wet weather What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? A visit to Wray Castle and Hawkshead village
A good time had by all.
We visited with our children and grandchildren and all of us had a thoroughly good time. We were very impressed with the location of Horseshoe Lodge. It was wonderful to look out to beautiful views of the hills and look down to the flowing water. Watching sheep being rounded up by the sheep dogs one morning was an unexpected joy. On a particularly hot day my 3 year old granddaughter enjoyed paddling in the river pool with her Mum and we all agreed that it was great to see her enjoy such simple pleasure. My daughter was impressed with the standard of the children's play area which along with the rest of the park was well maintained. Horseshoe Lodge was very comfortable and as previously mentioned in a very good location. I would highly recommend it. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Amazing scenery What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? A meal at The Mortal Man
Excellent lodge in a great location
We had stayed at White Cross bay last October and decided to try Limefitt park this time. We got the last lodge available and this was clearly a case of saving the best until last. A fabulous lodge in a fantastic location and beautiful surroundings. We had a great few days and will definitely be back again. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The lodge and location of the park What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Visit to Hawkshead and Grasmere and also highly recommend the Gateway Inn at Kendal.
Great for family get together.
Staff polite friendly and welcoming. Perfect situation with lovely views. Site immaculate. Lodge very comfortable. Adventure playground a hit with grandchildren! Hope to return. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Peace! Happy to let children run about safely. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Boat trip on Windermere
Wonderful Christmas at Horseshoe Lodge
My family had a wonderful stay over Christmas at Horseshoe Lodge. The location was perfect with wonderful views from the windows. The lodge was comfortable, spacious and well equipped. It even had a Christmas tree! The site was lovely and we enjoyed Christmas Eve drinks in the onsite pub, The Haybarn, playing pool and darts. During the stay we climbed up Troutbeck Tongue, Sour Howes, Sallows, Wansfell, Yoke and Ill Bell, all directly from the lodge. We went to Christmas morning service at Troutbeck Church which was very welcoming. I would highly recommend the lodge and we plan to go back again. Thanks to all for a great holiday. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Beautiful views, walks and a cosy lodge to come home to. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Walking along the valley and up Troutbeck Tongue which all the family can enjoy.
Lovely January stay
Lovely lodge, quiet and peaceful. Great position on the site, view of rolling hills whilst eating breakfast! The lodge had everything we needed; kitchen utensils, towels, bedding, games , books and DVDs. Great for local walks and nearby Bowness and Ambleside, we wil definitely be going back! What did you enjoy most about your stay? Warm and cosy lodge What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Walk from the lodge over the hills to Ambleside and go to The Apple Pie for coffee!

Lovely lodge
Couldn't have asked for a better lodge, had everything you needed and more. We had a 10 year old and a 4 year old and there was a variety of welcome games and dvds to suit both. The lodge was absolutely lovely, spotlessly clean with gorgeous views, unfortunately due to the weather we couldn't make use of the veranda What did you enjoy most about your stay? The views What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? We walked up the mountain behind the pub, it took about 2.5hrs going at a slow pace but we all enjoyed it

The Perfect Lodge and Location to enjoy the Lakes
Horseshoe Lodge is a credit to the owners everything you could ever need is on hand for a comfortable stay. The views from the decking are truly breathtaking along with the tranquil sound of running water from the beck below we would describe this lodge and its location at Limefitt Park as the perfect base to relax and explore all what the Lakes has to offer. Would highly recommend if you like scenic views in a peacefull setting. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The peace and quiet of the location. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Ullswater steamers & Windermere Lake Cruises.
Lovely stay, fantastic lodge with amazing views from our balcony
Both myself and my family had a fantastic stay. The lodge was lovely and had everything we needed from games to play on rainy days, to DVDs and maps with info for walks you could do while there.The location was perfect for exploring the Lakes, with amazing views from our balcony that we thoroughly enjoyed. The park was fantastic with excellent service from the lovely onsite pub, nothing was too much trouble and the food, especially the puddings where delicious! We enjoyed days out at Bowness, Ambleside, tree top treck and the local health centre swimming which the kids enjoyed and was free to access while staying at the park and only a few minutes drive away. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend the lodge and park to anyone and hope to return for another stay in the future. Thank you x What did you enjoy most about your stay? The views from the lodge balcony and amazing service at the pub What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Tree top treck
A excellent lodge
A great lodge with a beautiful view from the living area out through the double glass doors and onto the decking. Could not fault the lodge or park. We were so impressed we booked the same lodge for the same week next year. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The peace and tranquillity What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Can't recommend any experience, the lodge and park was that peaceful we didn't go far, just enjoyed the quietness.
A lovely break
We stayed at Horseshoe Lodge, Limefitt Park for a weekend break. The position is fantastic, with stunning views over Troutbeck. The lodge was lovely, and accommodated 4 adults and 2 children with ease. We parked 3 cars on site, 2 at the Lodge. My grandsons both enjoyed the play area . We had a pleasant meal at the pub on site. We will definitely use the site again What did you enjoy most about your stay? The position of the lodge What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Brockholes is nearby
AMAZING
The lodge was very spacious this was our second time at limefit and this one was much larger than the previous one. It's is very comfortable, cozy and spotless. Good quality bedding and towels, my only comment would be it could do with larger bath towels but small ones do seem to be the norm wherever you stay these days. Everything is there you could possibly need including washing up stuff. Now what makes it amazing the most is the view from the decked area and listening to the running of the stream. For what we paid it was a absolute bargin. I will most definitely be back next year!! What did you enjoy most about your stay? Peace and quiet What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? A walk to the Mortal Man for Sunday lunch is a must!
Excellent Lodge
First time we have stayed here and would thoroughly recommend it. The lodge was spacious,very clean and with central heating it is perfect for all year round visits. It's only a 10 min drive down to Bowness and the lake. We will definitely book again. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Peaceful location What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Trip to Keswick
Horse shoe lodge
Wonderful lodge, very comfortable, everything you could need, prime location, views were amazing from the lodge. What did you enjoy most about your stay?

4 night stay
We booked a 4 night stay at the horse shoe lodge in July and had a great time the lodge was very clean and was just like being at home. There are a number of walks to go on that start from limefitt park so the location is very good as well. Overall I would rate it 10/10 and will definitely be back at some point. Oh and the on site pub is very nice with great food would also recommend trying the mortal man hotel at the top of the road for something to eat. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The walks What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? We went on a few walks but can't remember the name of them
We stayed for a week in Horseshoe Lodge, a family of 5, the youngest being 14.
Having left Kent in temperatures of 33 degrees, it was rather refreshing to arrive at Limefitt Park in much cooler conditions! We happened to pick the week that the drought broke for our holiday, which we probably wouldn't have been happy about any other year, but was actually rather a relief on this occasion, and although it rained at some point most days it didn't spoil our week. Horseshoe Lodge is most definitely the best self catering accommodation we have stayed in and it is in an ideal position on the park, with an uninterrupted view across the fields of Troutbeck. Even though the school holidays had started, we found the park to be quiet in comparison to other sites we have stayed on at this time of year, although The Haybarn seemed understaffed for the time of year, usually with only 1 serving behind the bar in the evenings. Horseshoe Lodge had everything we needed for our stay: a bath and hand towel for each person, and very well equipped kitchen, plenty of crockery and cutlery, hangers in the wardrobes, and a small amount of hand soap for the bathrooms. It was really spacious inside and plenty of room outside on the decking aswell, The one useful item we did take with us was a clothes airer, as there wouldn't have been anywhere to dry wet swimwear/towels otherwise (we didn't make use of the washer/dryer). We enjoyed days out at Ullswater, Derwent Water, visited Beatrix Potter's house and cruised on Windermere itself. Limefitt Park is ideally placed to access many walks and is only a few minutes drive from WIndermere, and the nearest supermarket. Special mention to Marie in The Haybarn who went out of her way to ensure my diabetic husband had a meal the evening we arrived, as we were just too late to order food, but she went out of her way to accomodate him. We had a few meals in there over the week, and all of us enjoyed the food. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The peace and quiet, and the beautiful views from the lodge What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The views from Kirkstone Pass
Perfect lodge for exploring
Having stayed in various lodges in the lake district Horseshoe Lodge was by far the most impressive. Having 6 adults in 1 lodge I thought we would be tight for space on occasions but that was not the case. Spacious lodge.. with comfortable beds.. with even better views. Central for visiting all different areas around Lake Windermere. Would definately love to visit Horseshoe Lodge again. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Central location What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Tree Top Trek
Weeks family break in August.
This was our first break to the Lake District and we travelled as a family of 5. Age ranges from 10 to 46. Absolutely loved it from day one with so much to explore in so little time so will definitely be going back. Think we have found our own slice of heaven. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The lodge has perfect unspoilt views and is in a quiet location within walking distance yo all amenities on site. Bowness just 3 miles away with access to all the lake cruises shops and cafes. Perfect location for a bit of everything. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? We did the walk and cruise from Bowness to Ambleside which included a 4 mile walk. Perfect for families of all ages and for the novice walker.
Perfect place for a break in the lakes.
Nice lodge, great location in safe surroundings for the whole family. Would stay again. Booking process very easy too! What did you enjoy most about your stay? Surroundings What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Brockhole visitor centre
Another great stay
Stopped again at horseshoe lodge for the third time, couldn What did you enjoy most about your stay? The peace and quiet What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? A trip on a boat on windermere
Horseshoe Lodge
Horseshoe Lodge is an amazing place to stay. It has everything you require and more that you don't. One of the best lodges I've ever stayed in. Beautifully clean, very roomy. The kitchen/dining/living room had windows to 3 sides providing beautiful views all around. The decking is extensive and outdoor furniture very nice indeed, there was even a slab situated for a bbq. I would definitely recommend and would very much like to return. Limefitt Park is a fantastic location, on the Kirkstone Pass road but only minutes from Windermere/Bowness/Ambleside. The perfect lodge and location for a perfect, relaxing retreat! What did you enjoy most about your stay? The fact that it rained and howled so much outside meant that we made the utmost of the lodge itself, which was beautiful! Had the weather not been so bad we probably wouldn't have spent so much time relaxing in the lodge. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Turn your phone off and enjoy the great outdoors, be it a stroll alongside a lake, a visit to one of the many National Trust treasures of stomping around forests and mountains. See, breathe and feel the outdoors. Oh, and definitely look up into the night sky and be dazzled by the stars.......probably the most magical sight ever, and it doesn't cost a penny!

Relaxation and amazing views
We had a wonderful week here - it was just my 6 year old daugher and I, as unfortunately our friends had to cancel last minute, so we had the whole place to ourselves! We have stayed at Limefitt before, but this lodge was much nicer than our previous one. Despite it being February, the lodge was cosy and warm. The views from the main living area are a pleasure to wake up to in the mornings, the park is peaceful yet has a good pub and play area for children, and there is loads to do in the local area. We hope to return with more people in tow next time! What did you enjoy most about your stay?

We would recommend Limefitt Park
We have been returning here for 5 years since we first travelled to the Lakes.The park is within short travelling distance of Windermere and Ambleside, peaceful and family friendly. The lodges we have stayed have all been of high standard and as we have got to know the site better we can select the location and capacity of the lodges to suit but all have been excellent value for money. We will go back. What did you enjoy most about your stay?

Great location, furniture could use some update
Splendid view, perfect location, beautiful terrace. The pub was very nice. Quiet park, nice atmosphere. The kitchen cupboarddoor fell off and the freezer and fridge didn't stop making noise (and ice). The beds could use a new matrass too. You could feel the springs. But other than that perfect!

A short relaxing break
Beautiful location and not far from all major sightseeing points within the Windermere region. The lodge is well maintained and provided the 'home from home' experience that we wanted. The lodge is lovingly furnished and provides additional unexpected features such as children's games and a range of DVD options for the whole family. The outdoor space is excellent and perfect for sitting out and enjoying the spectacular views. The on-site activities are great for young children (park, zip wire etc.) and it even has its own pub restaurant with scheduled entertainment most nights! We couldn't fault anything about the property and our only gripe is that we were only there for a long weekend.....we would thoroughly recommend and you will not be disappointed with what the lodge and the surrounding park/area has to offer. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The lodge was extremely homely and furnished to a high standard. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Our day at 'Hill Top' (Beatrix Potter's cottage) was a delight and a must do.
Short Break
Had a short break in the Horseshoe Lodge, the weather was poor as it rained every day but this was proved irrelevant as the lodge was so cosy it was lovely just to relax. The lodge had various board games which whittled away the hours and the kitchen and facilities were fantastic so there was no need to venture out into the rain. We had a lovely time and would love to come again. The lodge itself is luxurious it is much bigger than the pictures on the website. The bedrooms are large and the bathrooms are too. The lounge area was beautifully furnished and very comfortable. I would recommend the lodge to anyone and everyone!! What did you enjoy most about your stay? The lodge was fantastic What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The pub / restaurant was very nice with good food
Horseshoe Ledoge
We had a lovely time at the lodge although a few things were not quite the same due to covid 19. We arrived the first weekend after and could only enter at 4 Friday afternoon but then had to be out by 10 on Tuesday. The lodge was in a fantastic location on the park but was just missing the books and games etc that we usually use while there. Again this could not be helped due to covid. The restaurant and bar area tried as best they could with the new restrictions but you could still not book a meal in advance. All in all a good stay in a lovely lodge, but in difficult times. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Location of lodge - views What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? local walks
Relaxing family break at Horseshoe Lodge
We had a great break at Horseshoe Lodge. It is well placed on the park, and once inside, everything we needed was there. We found the lodge very spacious, with a comfortable lounge, great dining area a well equipped kitchen. The bedrooms were comfortable and the accommodation was very clean. The weather was mixed during our stay however, when we had to stay inside one day, there was plenty of space in the lounge area to play the games we had taken. On the good days, the location meant we were never far from any of the activities we had booked in the surrounding area. The ability to use the local health club pool was also excellent and we did make use of it. We had a great holiday there and I would definitely go back. What did you enjoy most about your stay? We escaped the noise and rush of home. We slowed down and the accommodation was nice and quiet. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Brockhole and all its activities for the children
Perfect break away.
Beautiful lodge, could not fault at all. Very clean and comfortable in a beautiful setting. Has everything you need for a peaceful break. Very tranquil site with lovely walks close by. Definitely recommend and will certainty book again. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Impossible to single anything out as everything was perfect. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Lovely circular walk which starts behind the pub on the site has a gentle climb and well worth it for the views, bonus being able to leave the car.
Another great stay at Limefitt despite weather!
