Wansfell Retreat Lodge

Our stay at Wansfell Retreat was most enjoyable.

The Lodge has excellent facilities and is well maintained and clean. The position and outlook are stunning. We have already booked another visit in the Spring.! The holiday company are very helpful and pleasant to deal with.

I have already made a complaint about the awful state of poor repair that this property has been allowed to get into.

would like a phone call from manager to discuss this further as I do not believe you have taken this complaint seriously and have no interest in resolving my dissatisfaction. For the money that this holiday cost I was absolutely disgusted that you could feel it acceptable to let this lodge in this condition. Dangerous broken glass not cleared up, sharp edges on the door frame. Multiple drainage and plumbing issues, 1 TV not working. Generally a tatty looking and unloved lodge. Also advertised with WiFi at the property, but relying on the unfit for purpose public WiFi at the site, which your company has no control over and did not work. All in all, a total joke of a company, feels like everything is run on a wing and a prayer. Also took an hour to get hold of you to try to discuss anything. Best avoided.

We actually had the same lodge (Waddell 4) that we had the previous year.

This meant that we knew that the quality of our stay was going to be first class. Everything we needed was there. The accommodation suited the five of us and the fact that there were 2 bathrooms ensured our comfort. There was so much to do in the surrounding area. We did quad biking at Rookin farm as well as archery, axe throwing and zip lining at Brock hole. We spent time in Grassmere and Windermere as well as Ambleside - everything close by. We used the pub on site for meals and entertainment which we thoroughly enjoyed. The only slight priblem we had was with the drainage - the kitchen sink taking a long time to empty and the shower tray filling up when in use. This could have been due to the vast amount of rain we encountered at times which might have affected the drainage. All in all, we had a great time and much of this was down to the top quality of the accommodation and the superb Sykes organisation. Thank you

This was our first time staying at Wansfell Retreat and in general we found this to be is a very good, clean lodge in an excellent location on Limefitt Park.

We've stayed at five separate lodges on Limefitt over the years and are therefore very familiar with the park and its facilities. The lodge itself is, modern, light and in the most part well maintained. There are a couple of areas that could be improved (the gate was partly hanging off its hinges and the UPVC door step was cracked but nothing major). One thing I would point out is that the 3rd bedroom is smaller than we've come to expect in a lodge this size. Its absolutely fine for small children but is a bit of a squeeze for adults. Likewise with the living room area, this is great for two adults and up to four children but at one point in our holiday we had four adults and two children staying in the lodge and it was a bit on the small size. Not a show-stopper by any means but something to be aware of for larger parties. The kitchen is modern and well equipped but is a little bit limited on storage space if you're bringing lots of food with you. The sink is very slow to drain, however this was also the case with the showers so may be a general issue with the site rather than the lodge itself. The decking area is superb with plenty of comfy seating and fantastic views out over Wansfell. Limefitt Park is immaculate and in a wonderful location with superb walks available direct from the site. Its a great base for exploring all the Lakes has to offer. One negative that it is worth noting is that paddling and swimming in the river is no longer allowed. I wasn't able to find out why this is the case but is a real shame as my children have always loved doing this. All in all, I would definitely recommend Wansfell Retreat and Limefitt Park but just bear in mind it may be a bit on the small side for larger parties.

Great property and great location.

. only downside was on arrival when the lodge number was incorrect so spent a few minutes trying to get into the wrong lodge.. worked it out in the end..

Great views of the hills.

The lodge accommodated 5 of us easily providing for everything needed. Its a fab lodge. Love to return end of July if possible.

Absolutely fabulous wood recommend anybody

Another lovely stay.

The Lodge is definitely the best we’ve stayed in, with fabulous views, privacy and convenience for a really relaxing break. We’ve stayed here before and would definitely stay again and would highly recommend Wansfell Retreat to any new visitors to the Limefitt Park site. The only improvement we could think of to assist with dogs and the elderly or the disabled would be to stretch each step out to make them more user friendly, as on some other lodges on the site. We take a ramp for our dog to use, but not ideal in rainy weather. This is by no means a criticism just hopefully a helpful suggestion. Looking forward to a return visit, because Wansfell Lodge is truly a relaxing Retreat on a beautiful Park.

Everything about our short stay superseded our expectation.

The site was quiet, clean and the facilities were just what we wanted. The pub on site was friendly with a pleasant atmosphere and the food choice was extensive and tasty. The lodge was roomy and had everything we wanted. It was extremely clean and well maintained. The site situation gave us easy access to Windermere, Ambleside, Grasmere and Keswick as well as Brockhole which was great for our grandchildren. We will definitely be returning to this Sykes cottages site.

Thoroughly enjoyed the lodge clean and comfortable.

Lovely lodge.

Lodge was well equipped had pretty much everything we needed. Location was lovely. Great for relaxing or walking. Park is hilly so if you have mobility requirements check before booking. We had a wheelchair, paths were ok but there are hills to the shop and the pub.

We stayed in your lodge last year we had a good time but for one thing the wire net on the stairs and veranda my little dog hurt her paw limped for a couple of days I thought something would have been done after l complained, so we booked again this year only to find it was still the same my sister had her dog with her it’s a bassist and he split his nail on his front paw once again we were confined to the lodge because his paw was very sore we like coming to your lodge surely something else could be used not wire netting thanks

Fantastic Lodge !

Has everything you need for a wonderful stay ! Very clean , spacious and views to die for ! Everything from the furniture to the cutlery is immaculate. A wonderful property

Great lodge, this is the 2nd time we have stayed here and will definately be back.

Dexter 5 year old Chow Chow love the decking and view.

Brilliant lodge, had everything we needed for a family of 6.

3rd time we have stayed at this property, comfort, amenities and views are fantastic, thank you!!

we had an enjoyable 5 nights over new year

Several lights not working and remote controls had no batteries.

No internet coverage and park was very empty so imagined it be better. Also on site restaurant closed which was a huge disappointment

The location of the lodge is beautiful and if it was mine I would never be away from it.

We had a wonderful time and the weather was good. The lodge was well equipped iron, ironing board and hair dryer as well as everything that you would need in the kitchen. Would definitely come back and would definitely recommend.

Another wonderful stay at Limefitt.

Felt like somebodies home not like a holiday

The location is beautiful and the cottage is comfortable.

We definitely enjoyed our stay. The only complaint we have is that the dishes in the cupboard were put away wet and in some cases, dirty.

Beautiful lodge with everything we needed, gorgeous views and plenty of room.

Perfect place to stay.

We have previously stayed at this lodge and loved it so decided to return this year.

Unfortunately we we’re left disappointed at the cleanliness of the lodge. On arrival there was a ramekin of cigarette ends left on the table on the decking from the previous guests and pieces of glass on the kitchen floor. We had a toddler and a dog with us so luckily we found this before one of them stood on it. The general cleanliness of the lodge was very poor. Given there is a 6 hour turn around and guests are asked to strip their own beds, it does not seem reasonable that floors are not cleaned properly and the lodge isn’t dusted. Our little boy lost one of his toys under the sofa and when I went to get it I was disgusted at the dog hair, dust and other items under the sofa. It wouldn’t take much to move the sofas and vacuum underneath them in between stays. The oven is also desperate for a clean. The lodge is starting to look a bit tired and needs some maintenance. The dishwasher runner was broken, one of the lampshades in the bedroom was smashed, the blinds in one bedroom were broken, the door handle in one of the bedrooms is broken, the tap in the main bathroom is broken and lots of other little bits that need some attention. It is such a shame that the lodge had been left to get in this state, it is a beautiful location on the site, with gorgeous views from the decking. I can not fault the park in general, and the staff in the Haybarn inn are brilliant, very friendly. One in particular took the time to ask how to sign back to my non verbal son, and remembered this the next time we went in which was lovely.

We had such an amazing time and would defiantly come back.

Lodge was lovely but more cleanliness require.

We really really enjoyed our stay and overall the lodge and the views were amazing.

The only points to make are the tap in the main bathroom was very loose, the door handle in the little bedroom also kept falling off when touched. Thank you very much for having us.

This is a lovely property with fabulous views.

The property has everything you need - very comfortable and it has an excellent enclosed terrace. If this was mine i wouldnt leave it! The park is well kept and in a good location. The shop only sells the basics so go prepared. The on site pub is a bonus. Overall a great long weekend - oh now back to reality and work!

Fantastic lodge.

Lovely and clean. Amazing views. Handy to all areas. Nice to have the small things included like bin bags, dishwasher tablets etc. Nice decor. Plenty of pots, pans etc. Would definitely recommend.

Had a fabulous week at Wansfell Retreat.

What a perfect location, amazing views and lodge is in a great position. Very clean and had everything we needed. Will definitely return.

The lodge is spacious and has great views.

It is generally well equipped. The location is excellent, being so close to Windermere and Ambleside. The main issue was the almost complete lack of WiFi and phone service, which we were not advised about in advance. We have stayed at various lodges at Limefitt over the years and are aware that the WiFi can be patchy, but it has never been this bad before. The owners need to upgrade the WiFi facilities or at least make clear to guests that there is no serviceable WiFi available.

This was the second time we stayed here as we loved it so much the first time.

There is nothing we could say bad about this lodge. It is comfortable and clean and the views are lovely. Very private and all facilities you could need. We will be back again.

Was a beautiful cabin but it hadn't been cleaned very well for my arrival, found long hairs in the spare bedroom where my son was sleeping and also a used cotton bud on the floor, cobwebs around all the lightings and corner of some windows.

On Sunday the water was turned off all day so we had no running water to wash ourselves after a day out at the lake in the heat, no water to even flush the facilities or wash pots, we had the leave a day early as it isn't ideal with having a kid and having no running water so couldn't even cook food as no possible way to even wash up, spoke to the receptionist and got offered no compensation or compassion other than we cant help it was disgusting, so had to enjoy a lovely 4 hour drive back smelling cause of no running water

Fantastic lodge,spotless clean stunning views

Very good lodge with modern facilities.

Overall a good stay in nice surroundings with great views from the outside decking.

We have stayed at Wansfell Retreat before, and like last time, everything was perfect.

It’s beautifully clean, comfortable, is very well equipped, has stunning views and very nice outdoor furniture. We have no complaints at all about the lodge. The only annoying thing is that WiFi is advertised as being available at Limefitt. it isn’t. You just can’t get on it. We had to use our phone data to do anything. But this means you can run up quite high bills. Other than that, we loved every second of our stay at Wansfell.

Lovely lodge and limefitt park is great as always

The guttering on the kitchen side of the lodge near the twin bedroom has come apart.

The last night when it was raining, it did keep one person awake, with the stream of water hitting the ground.

Perfect.

We were lucky with the weather & able to enjoy the sun around the clock with the wrap around verandah. Beautiful views & so peaceful

Fantastic cabin with great views

Stayed here for 2 nights with my husband and 4 children. Was lovely only problem was the kids got bored easy maybe was the time of month. Would stay again but wouldn't take the kids What did you enjoy most about your stay? View What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? South lakes animal park

Excellent lodge, lovely location

We stayed for one week. Our party consisted of 4 adults and one dog. The lodge is lovely, it has a good location on the park, not overlooking other caravans. From the lodge itself there are many walks to be had. Just under 10 minutes from Bowness on Windermere. The other way leads to Ullswater and Consiton, both within half an hours drive away. The lodge has 3 bedrooms, 2 twins and one double. One of the twins has only one wardrobe but no chest of drawers or bedside table which was a minus but not a major problem. The lounge had two 2 seater settees so if there were six people, seating would have to be on the dining chairs, but for us it was just right. We would come back again and would definitely try and get this lodge. Some lodges did have hot tubs, not this this one, but as we came at Easter it didn't matter. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The lodge location, its superior decor and comfortability. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Getting a boat trip on Windermere and having the walkers combination of a trip and a walk. Well worth seeing Windermere from the quieter side as well as the hustle and bustle side.

Had a great time

Perfect View

Wansfell Retreat was a real treat!! The views from the patio area are the best we've ever had. The lodge is very comfortable, clean and spacious. Everything you could need for a break away was catered for apart from an iron although there is an ironing board. Good sized bedrooms and comfy beds. Spacious family bathroom and ensuite. Nice bedding and towels. There is a fantastic play area for the kids and they loved playing in the river. The dog walking field is great. The bar is very nice. We would definitely return to Wansfell Retreat and Limefitt Park. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Quietness of the location and the views. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? On this occasion we didn't leave the site as we were very comfortable at the lodge and Limefitt had everything we needed.

Fantastic Lodge with a Fantastic View

Lake District Lodge Holidays could not have been more helpful, friendly and professional. Wansfell Retreat was fantastic and the situation on the park ensured absolute privacy, without compromising the stunning views from the Lodge. The Park staff could not have done more to help make a break more memorable. Very happy and helpful people to represent the Park. Our only regret in writing this review is that we are encouraging people to take a break in this brilliant Lodge, and that will make it more difficult for booking Wansfell Retreat in future. We cannot recommend more highly. A credit to the owner. What did you enjoy most about your stay? So relaxing - enjoyed everything about the stay What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Trips on the Lakes on sunny days.

Enjoyable stay at Wansfell Retreat

Stayed at Wansfell Retreat in March 17, on one of the wettest weekends ever. The lodge is in a lovely location, with great views over the Troutbeck valley. The decked area is good for small children, as it is fully enclosed with gated access, however due to the weather we could not venture outside at all. The lodge itself is well laid out, with a spacious living/dining area and well appointed kitchen. 2 of the bedrooms are a decent size, with the third being quite tight, but not unreasonably small compared to other lodges I have stayed in. The ensuite bathroom is a bonus if the lodge is fully occupied. WIFI / Phone signal is poor, however this is clearly stated on the booking information. The quality of the fixtures and fittings is generally very good, with an excellent first impression on arrival. The levels of cleanliness were ok, however I would say that some further attention to detail is required in areas such as underneath the sofas (which were quite grubby) and the cooker which could have done with a good scrub out. Overall a nice lodge, in a lovely location. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Relaxing location, and the views. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Lake Cruise.

Few days away

We had a lovely few days staying at Wansfell Retreat. The whole experience was so great right from the booking process until we checked out. The lodge is so spacious bright and has amazing views of the hills. We even managed to sit out and enjoy a couple of drinks on the decking and soak in the views in the lovely spring sunshine. The lodge is kitted out to high standard and a proper home from home and very comfortable. Loved the fact the Lake Windermere is only a short drive away and a cruise on the lake is s must. We got an amazing day weather wise for it. All in all a relaxing few days away and will definitely be coming back. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Everything. Especially the lake cruise What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? The lake cruise

Relaxing break in a great location

It was our first time at Limefitt Park and we were all impressed upon arrival - a very peaceful site with beautiful views. The site has a small shop at reception, a children's play area and a field with football goals and tennis nets. The on site bar/restaurant is full of character and a lovely place to spend an evening. We felt very lucky that we had booked Wansfell Retreat as it is in an elevated position with uninterrupted views over the countryside, and no-one overlooking it. It was beautifully presented and very spacious for a group of 6 (4 adults, 2 children). We were very lucky with the weather and so spent a lot of time outside on the decked area, which had a table and chairs and some comfortable rattan furniture. We mentioned a couple of minor points on our feedback form to Lake District Lodge Holidays, and they sent an email responding to these very soon after our stay - excellent customer service. We had a brilliant stay here and are looking to return to the same lodge next year. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Beautiful views What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Cruise of Lake Windermere

Pure Joy - total relaxation

This location is extremely beautiful, fell views every way you look. Site is very well cared for and the staff could not be more helpful. Excellent food is served at the Haybarn pub on site and your canine friend can join you there. Would recommend to anyone. What did you enjoy most about your stay?

Holiday experience

Girlie break

We stayed at the cabin in late June and where lucky to have great westher. Location is perfect for exploring. We went to go ape while on our visit which is a short drive away. The lodge is perfectly equipment for any group type. The quality of the fixture and fitting especially in the kitchen is fantastic it was like a home away from home. Recommend to anyone wanting a quiet retreat but close enough to explore the wonders of the lake district. X What did you enjoy most about your stay? Home away from Home What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Go ape at Grizedale

Fantastic Holiday

We had a wonderful stay in a very comfortable lodge. The staff were very polite and helpful as were the locals. The location is a little out of the way, approx. 5 mile from the nearest town (Windermere) so a car is a must. The only bad point is that there is a fairly steep hill leading up to the pub/restaurant which some people may find a bit hard going. The location is perfect for hill walking and the wee town of Bowness is stunning with plenty boat trips and shops. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The stunning scenery and the walking What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Boat trip is a must on the lake

Great place.

Best night sleep ever!! so comfortable what a enjoyable stay. Views were excellent. My teenage boys love this park for biking walks. Local kayaking hire also. Been limefit park twice and white cross bay. This lodge was very nice inside. Clean we would like a hot tub at the lodge but can't have every thing. Yes good choice. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Comfy bed. The views being high up looking over the varander What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Complete hr round Windermere on steam boat. Haverwait steam train to Ambleside. Kayaking & go ape. National parks. Kendal is lovely shops martlet wk end.

1st time at Wansfell Retreat

This was our first stay in Wansfell Retreat, but our second time at Limefitt. The position of the lodge is beautiful. The elevation gave wonderful views over the countryside and meant we were not overlooked from the front of the property through the lovely huge double doors. There is so much space outside with the decked veranda and adds to the spacious interior. It was comfortable and warm, staying in September, the odd time it got a little chilly, so we turned on the heating, which after a short time we turned off again as it warms up very quickly. It's a lovely lodge and couldn't fault it really, sad to leave. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Hard to give one example, we thoroughly enjoyed our whole stay. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Hire a motor boat on the lake, lovely experience and a change from the public sightseeing tours.

Great long weekend

Lovely furnished lodge well looked after. So great to be able to take the dogs and still stay in a well furnished clean and tidy lodge. We'd definitely come back again -but for longer! What did you enjoy most about your stay? Tranquil setting and beautiful views What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Kids loved Tree Top trek at Brockhole

Lovely view from lodge

This is a lovely lodge in a great position on the park. My only negative about the holiday may seem a bit petty to some. The quality of the bed linen was absolutely fine, however the way the beds were made up was awful...valances not properly fitted and left lying literally in the middle of the floor between single beds...1 bed did not have a valance....double bed fitted sheet did not fit and left half the depth of the mattress showing....such a simple thing to get right..and can create such a good/bad first impression. 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? No

Brilliant family break

We had a lovely relaxing break with family, the lodge was very cosy, warm & comfortable. There was everything we needed but would have been better to have more settee seating as there was 5 adults & a child and somebody had to sit on a stand chair. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Location, views What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Bowness & Ambleside

Returning again next year!

After a horrible year, me and my family needed a break from reality and wanfell retreat did just the job! It was a beautiful, clean lodge with a view I could look at for longer than 7 days! The on-site pub is great, take your pet and have a proper ale. We all will definitely be making our break to the lakes a yearly gathering and I can not wait to return next year!

Wansfell Retreat

Lodge accommodation was very good, clean and comfortable.The lodge was presented nicely and we enjoyed our stay. Would recommend the following improvements :- More coat hangers, hooks for coats by the entrance, hooks for dressing gowns in the bedrooms and shower tidies to hold shower gel,sponges etc. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Comfortable accommodation and good weather What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Meals in the Haybarn

Home from Home

This lodge was wonderful and had everything you might need. I also chose it because it's dog friendly. The owner obviously takes pride in his Lodge as all the finishes seemed of a high standard. Little details, like the wire on the decking steps so that you don't slip were great. Beautiful views and warm and cosy on the colder days. Kitchen facilities were great...we wanted for nothing! It was a wonderfully relaxing break with plenty to see and do close by. We will definitely be returning. What did you enjoy most about your stay?

4 day break at wansfell retreat

We thoroughly enjoyed our break in this lodge and this area of the lakes. There are good walks from the site and it's not too far to drive further on for ambleside or grasmere. The lodge was warm,clean and comfortable. The porch area was very useful for removing wet coats and footwear, however there were no hooks for hanging coats. We had to use the dining room chairs for drying. As we were on a 4 day break we didn't need to much wardrobe space which was convenient as one wardrobe was packed full of outside cushions! Well equipped kitchen but lacking a pyrex jug and covered casserole dishes. These are very small but useful points worth a comment. Would definitely book again. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Comfortable lodge, lovely views. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Excellent base for walking.

Relaxing stay

The lodge was in a great location, with amazing views and we felt relaxed as soon as we walked through the door. Wansfell is decorated to a high standard and there is everything you could possibly need for a relaxing stay.

Another wonderful stay at Wansfell Retreat

We have stayed at Wansfell Retreat on a few occasions now and it remains our favourite lodge at Limefitt and never fails to be a lovely place to escape to and enjoy the ideal surroundings. As usual, we found the lodge to be clean, well equipped, and very comfortable. The interior is to a very high standard and feels very much a home from home. The decking and exterior is private and has amazing views. We travel with our dog (Lurcher) and find that the secure decking area is a safe zone for him without having to worry about him escaping. The location of the lodge allows us to choose from a variety of walks, hikes, or Fells either locally or by driving further afield to other parts of the Lakes. On site there is the reliable Haybarn Inn which has always been a good place to have a few drinks or a hearty pub meal which we always enjoy visiting. There are also lots of other dog-friendly pubs serving food around the area to choose from. We've been visiting Limefitt for a number of years now and will certainly continue to come back. What did you enjoy most about your stay? The lodge itself and its location. What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Castle Cragg walk at borrowdale

4 Night Stay

Stayed for 4 nights late Sept. Booking was extremely easy and hassle free. Lodge location is excellent with great views from the decking area and pretty central within the park. Condition and cleanliness cannot be faulted and if returning to Limefitt would have no hesitation on booking this lodge again. Only downside was the on site pub the Haybarn was shut for the majority of our stay for maintenance issues, which has no bearing on the lodge itself. We would certainly return here again as it is an outstanding location. What did you enjoy most about your stay? Beautiful countryside and relaxing stay What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Explore the surrounding area plenty to be found

Beautiful Lodge

We loved our all too brief 3 night October stay at Limefitt Holiday Park. Views were incredible from Wansfell Retreat Lodge, an endless panorama of fells, valleys and big skies. The lodge was totally clean, nicely decorated and with exceptionally comfortable beds and sofas. The in-laws loved the leather sofas so much they are determined to replace theirs at home with the same models! There was a good amount of lidded pans, trays, pyrex dishes, crockery and cutlery, should you wish to cook... A drawer full of DVDs, a PS4, all three bedrooms have TVs and wardrobes. In short, a home from home, we were very impressed. The holiday park is well situated for walks, a couple of decent pubs lie within walking distance off site, and of course there is the on site pub and a shop for any essentials. The family dog loved the stream and walking field, he will be rebooking as soon as he can! What did you enjoy most about your stay? Views, comfort, location What one experience (e.g attraction, walk, day out) would you recommend for our future guests? Windermere and Bowness nearby are lovely to walk around
