Andrea thank you for your kind review. We love Wainwright Lodge as well, we use it as a base to explore the Lake District, we never tire of visiting the Lakes. Spring in the Lakes is my favourite time for a visit, I’m sure you will enjoy your next visit. Kind Regards Geraldine

Thank You very much for your kind review . We use Wainwright Lodge ourselves on a regular basis, when we visit we make sure everything is in tip top condition. The Kitchen is newly refurbished which adds to the experience. We do hope to see you visit again soon .

Thank you for your very kind review. We use the Lodge ourselves regularly to make sure it’s super clean and well equipped. The Hot Tub is great and is emptied and cleaned before each new guest , and then the chemicals as you said are checked daily. We do hope to see you again at Wainwright Lodge.

Many Thanks for your kind review Mick and Julia, we hope to see you again soon.

Dear Eve many thanks for your kind review, we do try to keep Wainwright in Top condition. We also love the Lakes in the Spring, and personally we also Love the Lakes at Halloween/Autumn . Glad you enjoyed the new Hot Tub , we make sure this is drained and cleaned after each guest. Hope to see you again soon.

Dr David many thanks for your kind review, sorry about the hiccup on the Internet but glad to see it was sorted quickly.

We are very pleased you found Wainwright a great Lodge. Apologies for the heating, it is set on a Nest timer however you can adjust it on the wall in the Hall. There are plug sockets behind the bed in the main bedroom, but as you suggest not at the side of the bed. There is one Jacuzzi bath in the main bathroom, however the ensuite only has a shower, this is clearly indicated on the photos and documents for Wainwright Lodge. We pay an annual payment for WiFi and you should not pay, there is a encapsulated sheet with instructions for the WiFi in the main living room, apologies for this. In terms of LDLH we apologise on their behalf, they are normally very responsive. I hope this answers your niggles and we do hope to see you again in the New Year.

Many Thanks for your kind review, we are delighted you found Wainwright Lodge a comfortable Lodge, the beds are very comfortable and we use expensive linen to make sure you have the best sleep. The Jacuzzi bath is a bonus and compliments the new Hot Tub . We constantly make sure we have a good selection of utensils in the kitchen. The heating is very efficient and soon warms the lodge up when its cold outside. Thanks for the tip on the Tea pot we have now replaced this. Apologies for the crossed wires on the onsite pub, LDLH's tell me everyone was notified of the Pub opening times over the Xmas period, clearly this didn't reach you, we hope it didn't spoil your stay. Many Thanks for your kind feedback and we look forward to seeing you again in 2025.

Many Thanks for your kind review , we are very pleased you had a wonderful stay in Wainwright Lodge . We invest each year in Wainwright to make sure it’s in top condition. You are correct to say Wainwright is roomy it’s a large 3 bedroom Lodge which is one of the bigger Lodges at Limefitt. We are delighted to have many regular guests returning again and again so we do hope to see you back in the New Year.

Thank you for your very kind review, we are delighted you found Wainwright Lodge an amazing Lodge . We invest each year to make sure Wainwright is a great place to stay , we added the New Kitchen and New Hot Tub this year. We look forward to you visiting again in the New Year .

Thank you so much for your kind review. We have invested in a NEW Kitchen and NEW Hot tub to try to make our Lodge a great place to stay with all the necessary amenities . We also bought all new bath towels because a guest said they needed to be a little larger, so we do try to take on board the advise of our guests. The WiFi is excellent with great back up and we have the Large Smart TV . We are personally in the Lodge next week so we will give everything a check and an extra clean , we then we have guests up until the New Year when Limefitt closes for a few weeks in the winter. Thanks again for the wonderful Review and we hope to see you again in the Future .

We have just returned from a week at Wainwright Lodge, infact we arrived as you left. Making it opportune to reply to your feedback. We are not sure about the weird residue on the cutlery? we have a dishwasher and there wasn't any residue on anything when we arrived so thanks for cleaning off whatever you found. There are Cobwebs are on the outside of the Lodge, infact (and we had a walk around site to check) there are Cobwebs on pretty much every Lodge. This said we cleaned them all off, this is normally done when required by ourselves, or our window cleaner, so apologies for this. I checked indoors for Cobwebs and I found 2 small one hidden in a corner, again apologies and these have now been cleaned. I opened and checked the 3 main doors and every window and I couldn't find any insects, honestly I have no idea about the colonies living in the door frames, they certainly aren't there now. The Lodge was cleaned 6 times in August alone, it is absolutely immaculately clean. We also gave it a super clean as well before we left. The WiFi was working throughout your visit, it powers the Google Thermostat and WiFi for the TV, the heating always worked so the WiFi must have been was running. The TV however had been disconnected, also all the Colour/Contrast/Brightness etc had been adjusted to max, perhaps children ?. The only WiFi onsite is Parkdean WiFinity , I called their helpline and the TV was reconnected within 2 minutes. I understood you had been given the WEiFinity Helpline number. However to avoid the problem in future for other guests we have put the Help number on the back of the vinyl about WiFi in the Lodge below the TV itself, any problems give them a call they are very Helpful. Many Thanks for your feedback and we look forward to you visiting Wainwright again in the future.

We are delighted you thought the Lodge was Fabulous as we have invested in the NEW Kitchen and the New Hot tub to make it a great place to stay. Saying the site facilities are rubbish is a bit harsh, we think it depends on what you are looking for, there are 2 great Pubs within walking distance, dog walking area, many many great walks starting from Limefitt, and a football pitch/play areas for the children. However I suppose its fair to say these things are focused to appeal most to Dog owners, walkers, and cyclists.

Delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Wainwright Lodge and you had a perfect stay. We can only apologise that the sofas had some dog hairs and crumbs on them, the Lodge is given a good clean after every visitor and the Hot Tub has a full water change and new chemicals. We have asked our cleaner to pay particular attention to the Sofas in future. Many Thanks for your feedback and we hope to welcome you back to Wainwright in the near future.

Thank You for your excellent review, it seems you found the NEW hot tub very useful to soak away the aches from a long walk . Our cleaner will be delighted you found everywhere SPOTLESS we do try very hard. We very much hope to see you again at Wainwright Lodge.

Thats so kind and we are delighted you liked the refurb, we are very happy with how the NEW TUB and the NEW KITCHEN turned out. Many Thanks for rebooking.

Thanks for returning to Wainwright Lodge, we are delighted you loved the NEW KITCHEN and HOT TUB upgrades. The views down the valley are awesome, Troutbeck really is a special place. We are very happy that your son enjoyed himself so much and you are all returning in April next year.

Thank you for your excellent review it really is rewarding to hear everything was perfect, Wainwright Lodge really is in a perfect spot. Thanks for your feedback about the chairs I'm thinking perhaps you missed the comfy cushions for the outdoor dining furniture ? We keep these inside in the walk in wardrobe off the main bedroom, we bring them in after each visit as it can (very occasionally) rain in the Lake District :) Hope to see you back soon .

Many Thanks for your super kind review we are delighted you found the Lodge spotlessly clean . We are also glad you enjoyed the NEW TUB it was a big investment for us, the NEW TUB is of course cleaned and emptied before each new guest and the chemicals are checked daily. We hope to see you again in the future.

Many Thanks for your kind review, we are delighted you love Wainwright Lodge as much as we do. The NEW TUB is great and the NEW KITCHEN has given the Lodge a freshen up for 2024. We hope you will come back to visit for the 4th time soon.

Thank you for your very nice feedback, we are delighted you had a relaxing break and enjoyed your stay at Wainwright Lodge. We have invested in a brand NEW KITCHEN and a brand NEW HOT TUB for 2024 so we hope this enhanced your stay as well.

Thank you for the great feedback, we are glad you enjoyed the super comfy beds and fluffy towels, we are very conscious to always keep our bedding and linens in top condition. NEW for 2024 is the BRAND NEW HOT TUB which we just had installed, also NEW for 2024 is the BRAND NEW KITCHEN, all stocked with an excellent array of equipment. Sorry you were a hand soap short, we have one in each bathroom now.

Many thanks for your very kind review, we are very glad you enjoyed the Christmas tree and little gifts. We take great pride in Wainwright and visit quite a lot ourselves during the year to ensure everything is in tip top condition, it is a spacious Lodge and one of the largest Lodges at Limefitt Park. The Hot Tub is brand NEW and we agree one hundred percent that when you are in the Tub the view up the valley is fantastic. We wish you a very Happy New Year, and hope to see you again in 2024.

Thank You very much for your kind review and for visiting Wainwright Lodge for a second time we do appreciate this and are delighted you love the Lodge. We have increased the price for 2024 although the price for 2023 hardly changed from 2022. During these two years we have faced huge increases in the Park Dean "pitch fees" for the Lodge, along with increases in Gas and Electric, the rates, the water bills and cleaning charges, in effect the much discussed "cost of living" increases. In addition to this we are investing a lot of money to keep Wainwright Lodge in top condition, we installed a brand new Hot Tub in November '23 and we are having a new kitchen with new floors and complete redecoration, this is being completed during the Winter 2023 shutdown of Limefitt Park. I hope this explains why the price has gone up but we do hope to see you again in 2024

Thanks for your feedback Gez we are delighted you had a good week at Wainwright Lodge. We do apologise that you found some dust under the Living room sofas. Since your feedback we have asked our cleaner to make an effort to clean regularly under the sofas. We also visited ourselves after you left and stayed for a week, during this time we gave Wainwright an extra clean as well. Can I also add that we have just had a brand NEW Hot Tub fitted so we do hope to see you for another visit in Wainwright Lodge in the New Year.

Many Thanks for your kind feedback. We agree Wainwright Lodge is in a very nice spot on the edge of Limefitt, it is indeed lovely to watch the Deer and the "Herdys". We visit the Lodge regularly to make sure its in perfect condition for our guests. We love the Lake District and always find something new to do every time we go. We are delighted you had a good time and really hope you will visit Wainwright Lodge again.

A well equipped Lovely Lodge in a great location with fabulous views, this does sum up Wainwright Lodge, thank you for these comments. In terms of the cleaning we have had a chat with our cleaner who has given the Lodge an extra clean, apologies for the dust under the beds. We are visiting our Lodge soon and we will also give it a clean whilst we are there. We hope to have you back soon.

i will try to answer the comments and feedback you made. In terms of WiFi Wainwright Lodge now has the brand new private Park Connect+ Fast WiFi which is provided by ParkDean. Apart from running the Smart TV its also capable and perfect for running software like Microsoft Teams, I use Teams with no issues when working from the Lodge. Although the Advert had not been updated this High speed WiFi was running throughout your visit, we have however amended the Ad to avoid confusion. The Cafetiere was missing as you suggest, unfortunately this must have been broken by a previous visitor and unfortunately this hadn't been reported to us, we however replaced it with a new one immediately. The Hot Tub water level was a bit low and this was rectified immediately . As I suggested in previous reviews, any issues with the Tub please ask the Tub guys and they will sort it promptly, they visit daily. Provision of cooking oil, its not really possible for us to maintain a fully stocked kitchen i'm afraid. Sorry you couldn't find the DVD if you had asked when you asked about the Cafetiere we could have told you where it was. As a further comment not many people ask for the DVD now it seems to have been replaced by using the Smart TV. I'm glad the cot and Fan we provided were useful . We spent the week in Wainwright Lodge prior to your arrival and I guess we must have been lucky as we didn't get a single bite! Perhaps its best to close the patio door to keep the bugs out. Thanks for the feedback and I hope my reply explains the issues you had

Delighted that you thought Wainwright was a lovely lodge, we really do make a lot of effort to keep it in tip top condition. The Lodge location is excellent with views up the valley, in or out of the Hot Tub ! The humming is the noise that the Hot Tub makes, its on continuously to keep the temperature regulated, there isn't actually anything wrong with it, its just the gentle hum that it makes.

Wainwright is a fantastic lodge, one of the biggest on Limefitt park and boasting a Hot Tub as well. We are delighted you had a great weeks stay. Glad the Hot Tub issue was resolved promptly, we commit a lot of time to Hot Tub maintenance, before each new guest the water is changed and the tub cleaned, and we have a tub guy visit everyday to check the chemical levels. If you ever have a problem with any aspect of the tub please talk to the tub guy when he visits. And we would be 100% delighted to have you stay again.

Glad you thought Wainwright was a brilliant property. Not sure about the problem with the tub ? seems ok now. We take great care with the tub, the water is changed and the tub cleaned before each new guest and we have a tub guy visit everyday to check the chemical levels. If you ever have a problem with any aspect of the tub please talk to the tub guy when he visits. Thanks for your feedback and we do hope you visit Wainwright again soon.

We are glad you had a great Holiday , Wainwright is a great Lodge to stay in. We recently visited Wainwright ourselves for a few days, the Dishwasher problem is now resolved. The fridge required a little adjustment on the door and is also now fine. Thanks for your feedback. May 5th

Wainwright is a great Lodge, one of the largest on Limefitt Park, with the benefit of a Hot tub of course. We are pretty much full through the Summer but have some space in the Autumn , we always love to do the Pumpkin Festival at Halloween, perhaps one to think about . Many Thanks for your kind Review.

Thank you so much for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the property and hope to welcome you back another time.

Many Thanks for the excellent feedback, we do make a big effort to keep our Lodge clean and comfortable. We are delighted you liked the tree and do hope that you will return to Wainwright Lodge soon.

Dear Mick and Julia many thanks for your kind feedback. As owners of Wainwright Lodge we visit regularly to make sure everything is perfect for our guests. Its a great Lodge in a great Location and like you we never get tired of visiting.

Darren that's the best feedback ever ! We are delighted you had a fantastic break and a BIG thank you for rebooking next year.

Sharon many thanks for your kind feedback. Wainwright is a larger Lodge than most on Limefitt and we make every effort to ensure its equipped with everything you need for a great Holiday. We use the Lodge ourselves quite often and we always spend time in the Hot Tub which we ensure is emptied and cleaned before each new guest arrives also the chemicals in the tub are checked twice a day. Wainwright has great views and is a great place to visit.

Vicki many thanks for the great review and well done for climbing Scafell Pike, I've done it once and I know you definitely need a Hot tub afterwards ! Glad you enjoyed Wainwright and made many happy memories. We do hope you will return in the future.

Dear Alison thank you for your kind review, we are delighted you had a perfect weekend celebrating your daughters 30th birthday. We work very hard to keep Wainwright Lodge in Top condition, we often visit ourselves to ensure everything is perfect. We do hope to see you visit again in the future.

Dear Stephen thank you for your excellent review, we agree 100% that Wainwright Lodge and Limefitt Park is a really great base for a Holiday. And yes soaking away in the hot tub looking down the valley is a great way to end the day, and of course Wainwright Lodge is one of a very small number of Lodges that has a Hot Tub on Limefitt. I do hope you will come back again.

Dear Derek we are delighted you liked the Location of Wainwright Lodge and took advantage of the Hot Tub with views up the valley. Glad the bedrooms and bathrooms were ideal. Sorry to hear you thought the Kitchen was a bit tired, we do update all of the pots, pans and utensils on a regular basis, often at the start of each year. We are visiting Wainwright Lodge ourselves in a couple of weeks and we will cast a critical eye over it. Thanks for the feedback and I hope you will visit again in the future.

Dear Mark thank you for the very positive feedback its always rewarding to know that our guests have had a great time at Wainwright Lodge. We look forward to you visiting again.

Alison thank you for your very kind feedback, we are delighted you had a great holiday at Wainwright Lodge. We stay in our Lodge regularly and try to make sure everything is perfect for our guests (and us !). I do hope you will come back to Wainwright soon.

Many Thanks for your review, you are correct Wainwright Lodge is one of the largest Lodges at Limefitt Park and one of a very small number that has a Hot Tub. We are glad you found the Lodge clean, we are absolutely meticulous about cleanliness and yes the Hot Tube is emptied, cleaned, and refilled for each new guest and then checked daily.

Many Thanks for your kind review, we agree Christmas at Wainwright Lodge in the Lakes is a great place to stay, we are delighted you liked the tree.

Dear Mr Hick many thanks for your kind review, we are very glad you enjoyed Wainwright Lodge. We will continue to invest in the Lodge and have many improvements planned to keep you coming back and enjoying yourself in the future .

We are delighted you thought Wainwright Lodge was beautiful, spacious and very clean. We have really focused on cleanliness during the Covid period and will continue to do so. Thanks for your comments about the Hot Tub, we have had the Tub checked by an Engineer, as you said it was working but one jet was weaker, we are pleased to say as of 19th November the Engineer managed to restore the power to that jet and the Tub is now operating at 100% efficiency.

We are delighted that you enjoyed your weekend at Wainwright Lodge in the Lakes. The beds are super comfy and we invest in new expensive linen to make them super nice. The Hot Tub is a great bonus that not many Lodges have.

Thank you for your very positive review we are delighted you found the Lodge "lovely" . We very much appreciate your suggestion to provide a few cosy blankets or throws, we have minimised things like this throughout Covid, but we may well introduce cosy blankets in the New Season 2022.

Thank you for your kind review, we are delighted you would recommend Wainwright Lodge. As you suggest the location is ideal, on the edge of the park with stunning views. We very much look forward to welcoming you back.

Dear Mrs Coles, thank you for your very kind review. We work hard to ensure the Lodge is super clean, and we have redoubled efforts during the Covid period. We constantly invest in our Lodge to make sure it is always fully equipped. We also invest in quality Bed Linen to ensure you have a cosy and comfortable nights sleep.

Thank you for your feedback and we offer our apologies that the Lodge had not been cleaned. We are however delighted that you found the Lodge perfect and very dog friendly and will be delighted to welcome you back to Wainwright Lodge in the future.

Thank you for your feedback, we are delighted that you appreciated the excellent position of Wainwright Lodge with its delightful views up the valley, of course best viewed from the Hot Tub! Our apologies for the fridge it seems that it was working intermittently, this said we replaced it with a new Fridge Freezer unit on Friday. It has been difficult to source a replacement with poor availability and delayed deliveries at the moment. In the interim we had a temporary unit in place. The power cut was throughout the site and is very unusual and outside of our control. Please accept our apologies. In terms of the pricing this runs on a dynamic model, and higher prices are based on higher demand, however if the Lodge has lower demand the prices will fall. Please be reassured that all our guests who booked throughout the pandemic and had to cancel due to Covid were all given full no quibble refunds.

Thank you very much for your very kind comments about Wainwright Lodge, it really is in a great spot and as you suggest the view from the Hot Tub is fantastic. Regarding the price, the prices for July 2022 have increased and you may see a larger difference due to your booking being made back in 2019 and having to be moved twice due to the pandemic. A lot has happened with Covid in that time during which we have honoured the prices our lodge was booked at and given full no quibble guarantees throughout. It would be our pleasure as owners to have you visit our lodge again in the future.

Thank you for your feedback. We are disappointed with your comments but I can assure you the photographs were only taken about 18 months ago. Since then the biggest change has been the upgrade of the 65inch TV and supporting personal WiFi. We have also removed some of the soft furnishings and ornaments in line with Covid recommendations. Wainwright is our own personal Lodge and we invest in the fixtures and fittings continuously and we will continue to do this as we move forward.

Thank you for your very kind comments about Wainwright Lodge. Our Hot Tub is emptied, cleaned, filled with fresh water and treated with tub chemicals prior to every new guest arriving, it is also inspected for temperature and chemical levels daily. It would be our pleasure to welcome you back.

Thank you for your feedback, we are delighted you could not fault Wainwright Lodge. In terms of prices we can only comment on Wainwright Lodge where the prices going forward have increased slightly to reflect the demand for UK Staycations. We do hope you will return and enjoy another fabulous stay.

We are delighted you found your visit to Wainwright Lodge a pleasure. In terms of prices we can only comment on Wainwright Lodge where the prices going forward have increased slightly to reflect the demand for UK Staycations. It is also the case that during this covid period many guests have received no quibble full refunds for cancellations or were allowed to move cancelled dates to late 2020 and 2021 at no extra cost. We do hope you will return and enjoy another fabulous stay with us.

Thank you for your feedback. It is very kind of you to leave such positive feedback about Wainwright Lodge, it does indeed have a lovely position on the edge of the park with wonderful views. Of course the secure decking does make the lodge ideal for four legged friends to visit.

It is great to receive your super positive feedback comments, we have focused even more than ever on cleanliness throughout the covid period with extra attention on all elements of the cleaning regime for Wainwright Lodge. We also visit ourselves on a regular basis to make sure we are personally happy with everything. The superfast Wainwright Lodge dedicated WiFi means not only is the 60 inch TV is great but it is also possible to work from the Lodge when necessary. Oh and glad George enjoyed his stay.
