Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the lodge clean and well-maintained, with only a few isolated reports of cleanliness issues upon arrival. Regular checks and cleanliness of the hot tub were particularly commended.
The lodge's location is consistently lauded for its beauty and convenience, with easy access to local attractions and walks in the national park. The privacy and tranquility of the setting are also highly appreciated.
The majority of guests found the lodge comfortable and homely, with ample space for small families. However, some guests mentioned the beds being too firm and the sofa needing replacement.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the hot tub and well-equipped kitchen. Some minor maintenance issues were reported, such as a beeping dishwasher and worn sofa, but these did not significantly detract from the overall experience.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness category. Therefore, this score is set to null.

It was clean, tidy, warm and in a great location. The hot tub was a lovely added bonus. Good location for accessing all the local amenities.

The only downside to our stay was that the boiler stopped working on the second night, which meant that there was no hot water. This spoilt our experience as we couldnât shower after using the hot tub. This prevented us from using the hot tub. Also the central heating didnât work. Maintenance were able to âfixâ the boiler in the morning. So we had a whole evening and night without hot water or heatings. However once it was fixed we felt that the lodge continued to struggle to heat up. The hoover wasnât working, and it would benefit other lodgers if there was a mop and bucket on site to use after being in the hot tub and in the shower area.

It's a nice lodge, good spot on the park, it's snug, the beds are comfy, the facilities in the lodge and on the site are decent and we enjoyed our stay. There were no functional issues with anything at all in terms of the lodge, everything was fine. But....it suffers from a lack of personal touch and is showing signs of age and some of the stuff could easily be sorted. Little things like the hot tub buttons have worn away so you can't see which button does what. We only figured out there was a light under water on the last day. The decking furniture is going rusty, seat pads are like super thin. Easily sorted things! The outside fencing and flooring is starting to go rotten in places too, particularly the gate and the decking around the hot tub. And the actual lodge external walls have had paint layered on top of paint to cover where it's blistered which makes it look a bit of a mess. Not big deals and none of it affected our holiday at all but when you've paid over £1k for a week you want a little bit of luxury and I didn't feel like it had that. Some of the kitchen utensils in the drawers were dirty and there were some dirty pots in the dishwater too when we arrived. That's no fault of the owners, it's entirely down to the previous guest who was too lazy to clean them. But again, it's not what you want. Maybe it's to be expected when a 3rd party company is managing things. They'll be using minimum wage cleaners who've got 10 lodges to clean in 2 hours so all you get is a superficial cat lick. I can put up with that when I book a Sun £9.50 a day break at a Haven Park in Scarborough but not when you're on a 5* luxury establishment. Things like a dirty sponge scourer and a plastic food label left on the decking. Just silly careless stuff! I saw the owners responded to a similar review by saying they stay regularly and they take a pride in it. I have sympathy with them. I can't imagine the costs of maintaining a lodge on a park like Limefitt and the last thing you want to do when you visit yourself is spend all your time painting and decorating but it really needs a spruce up. It probably reads like I wouldn't recommend this lodge but I would. It's in a great spot and we did have a good time. It just needs a bit of TLC. That's all! It wouldn't take much to make it perfect. Just a word about the site. There's a lovely Bar/Restaurant but they kept closing early because they said it was quiet. Even Saturday night they called time at 9pm which was frustrating. That's really bad, short term thinking. We just didn't bother going in after the 4th night because of it so they've pretty much done themselves over there! Self fulfilling prophecy. How do you expect to be busy if you keep randomly closing early?
