Snaptrip says

Wansfell View is a well-appreciated lodge in Windermere, praised for its comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen including an air fryer, and a hot tub that guests consistently enjoyed. The location is ideal for exploring the Lake District, with easy access to local attractions and walks. While some guests reported issues with cleanliness and maintenance, the majority found the lodge to be a cosy and welcoming 'home from home' with beautiful views and a relaxing atmosphere.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Cleanliness received mixed reviews. While many guests found the lodge spotless and well-maintained, a few noted issues with cleanliness, such as dog hairs, smeared windows, and a lack of freshness in towels. These negative experiences, however, seem to be exceptions rather than the norm.

The lodge's location is highly praised for its convenience and proximity to Bowness, Ambleside, and local pubs. Guests enjoyed the beautiful Lake District setting and the easy access to walks and attractions, making it an ideal base for exploring the area.

Guests frequently complimented the lodge's comfort, mentioning comfortable beds and a cosy atmosphere. Some suggested improvements such as fans for hot weather and better sofa covers, but overall, the lodge provided a comfortable stay.

Facilities were generally well-received, with the hot tub being a highlight. However, some guests encountered maintenance issues like non-working vacuums and a leaky sewage pipe. The presence of amenities like WiFi and a well-equipped kitchen contributed positively to this score.

The lodge owners displayed thoughtfulness through touches like Christmas decorations and providing a cot and high chair for a baby. Although a welcome hamper was missed by one guest, it should be noted that such gifts are a bonus and not guaranteed with every stay.

About this property

Troutbeck 0.6 miles. This well-maintained, detached lodge is situated in a private position, at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, in the heart of the delightful Limefitt Holiday Park, less than a mile from the small village of Troutbeck in the Lake District National Park. This welcoming Troutbeck lodge is ideal for walkers and cyclists, or as somewhere to simply sit back and relax. Accessed via four external steps, enter this homely dwelling into the open-plan living area, where you can flick on the electric fire before getting settling down on the sofa, tuning into your favourite shows from the Smart TV. Allow the chef of the group to get acquainted in the kitchen, fitted with an electric oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge, freezer and even a dishwasher to assist with the washing up! As you start to yawn, retire to the bedrooms at the other end of the lodge, offering a king-size with en-suite shower and a dressing room, a double and a twin, accommodating perfectly for a family. There is also a lovely bathroom where you can prepare for the day with a quick shower or enjoy a lazy soak in the evening. French doors lead to the outside decking where further amenities can be enjoyed, including the patio furniture which is perfect for an alfresco meal, followed by a dip in the sunken hot tub under the stars. There are walks straight from the doorstep at this lodge near Troutbeck, plus on-site there is a pub, which serves excellent food and real ales, a children’s play area, an outdoor games area, pony trekking facilities, a large dog walking field that leads through woodland and up onto the local fells, and a stream which runs through the bottom of the park. Take the short drive into Windermere, home to a variety of shops and restaurants, while Lake Windermere itself can be explored on board the iconic Windermere steamer, providing access to the towns of Bowness and Ambleside. Spectacular Lakeland fells surround this beautiful valley; scattered with historic Lakeland houses and pretty woodlands, along with two great pubs: The Mortal Man and the Queens Head, both known for their tasty menus, Cumbrian produce and cosy fireside ambiance. Explore the Troutbeck Valley into Ullswater via the towering Kirkstone Pass, providing an unforgettable area with sublime scenes around every corner. Wansfell View is a delightful Troutbeck base that makes an ideal home at any time of year.

The small village of Troutbeck is situated between Windermere and Ambleside. The village offers a mix of buildings, some of which date back to the 17th century.

    We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay even though the weather was not at its best. We made use of the hot tub and found this to be extremely relaxing. Definitely would book to stay here again in the future and would recommend to others. Excellent holiday was had by all.

    We weren’t left any towels so had to find some in a cupboard. Most radiators didn’t really get warm so the main bedroom was always freezing especially the en-suite. But apart from that it was fabulous and would def book again.
