Lovely comfortable lodge . Clean and tidy . Lots of space throughout Lots or storage space. Absolutely nothing negative to say. Good WiFi connection. Beautiful surroundings . Ideal for all ages . Walks from the door step was great. The dog field was great . It was quiet and peaceful. Just a lovely place . Will definitely be booking again.
Richard
Lovely spacious lodge. everything in excellent condition and there would have been lots to do on a raining day fortunately the weather was fabulous so toysgames and dvds not needed. We keep coming back to Limefitt as the site never lets us down and this was the most comfotable lodge we have stayed in. Just keep an eye on the decking as there are a few bits starting to rot. we had a great stay and the dogs loved it too even though we only found the box of dog treat as we were tidying up and about to leave.
We had an issue with the fridge initially, which your maintainence helped us with. Later one of the gates fell off, and again your crew managed to fix it for us. We have stayed in this lodge many times, and find the facilities inside are perfectly suited to our stay. We have aready made or next booking. Thank you
Joanne
Had a lovely stay in Hideaway Lodge. Property is exactly as described, well equipped and very comfortable. There are fabulous views from the lodge and there are short walks from the door. Didnt have time to use the on site facilities hopefully next time.
Gwenda
I have stayed at Hideaway Lodge many times and never disappointed. It is always spotlessly clean with every utensilfacility required. It is also has two double bedrooms unlike most other lodges that are twin. It is on a lovely part of the park and not overlooked. The owners give 10 discount for return visitors. Due to sad personal circumstances I went with a friend this time and the owners knew about this and there was a beautiful bunch of flowers and card which was such a lovely gesture. I hope to return very soon.
Carole
This was our second stay at Hideaway Lodge and, as previously, we were very impressed with everything about it. It was very clean and well stocked and had everything we needed. Even though we, unfortunately, had a lot of rain during our stay, we were very comfortable and cosy in the lodge. We brought our 2 dogs to escape the fireworks and it was perfect, so peaceful and quiet. We all loved our stay and will definitely be booking again next year.

Angela
Lovely lodge. Lots of room and storage. Beautiful views. Weather was very warm some rainy days could have done with a fan. Great site. Lodge very clean only thing I could say is could do with an update in bedrooms and new sofas. Overall lovely stay.
Vanessa

Gorgeous park gorgeous views very clean lodge The only thing I would say is having a smart tv would be much better so you could watch Netflix etc specially having kids in the lodge but the games went down an absolute treat
Our stay at Hideaway Lodge was perfect. The lodge has everything you need and we all loved it. Even games for adults and children. We stayed here a few year ago and we will definately stay again
Samantha
We had a fabulous stay. The lodge was clean and comfortable, with everything you could possibly need for your stay. I picked the lodge as due to disabilities I needed the recliner seat to sleep in. The views from the veranda were stunning and the location of the lodge was perfect. Hubby said the walks from the site were fantastic. While I, as someone who has mobility issues and spends all week housebound, it was fantastic to sit on the veranda, taking in the fresh air, listening to the birds and laughing at the escaped Herdwick sheep that kept appearing. Will definitely be back, as we never wanted to leave.
Sharon
We found the property roomy and comfortable for out short break and It was well equipped, it was placed on good site on the the park too. If we were to be picky then getting connected to the Internet was a bit laborious and the property could do with a refresh on the fixture and fittings.
Gwenda
This was our second stay at Hideaway Lodge and again we were impressed with the cleanliness of the lodge and everything we needed for our stay. The lodge is in a lovely position on the site with amazing views. The weather was very cold but the lodge is extremely warm and cosy with plenty of DVDs and games. As an added bonus for a return visit the property owner offers a discount. We would highly recommend this lodge and we look forward to returning soon.
Excellent homely lodge, very comfortable and cosy,we all enjoyed our stay and will definitely book again.

Had a lovely 7 day stay at this lodge it had everything you needed very clean warm and comfortable pub on site with sky sports and food ,would recommend staying here 2 pubs with lovely food just up the road and about 3 miles from Windermere with a bus stop out side the site overall first class And a small shop on site too
Andrew
Lovely accommodation in a beautiful location.
Beautiful lodge in a tranquil setting. Family of 6 and 2 dogs enjoyed a fabulous 4 nights stay. It was very clean and comfortable could not have asked for any more from the lodge. Great location for days out. Excellent holiday park with lots of woods and countryside to explore. The pub on site was good and food there was very passable for the prices.
Frances
Lovely propertyperfect location for a chill out
Suzanne
Lovely property in a fantastic location with lots of walks on the doorstep would consider returning again
We have stayed here before and we do like your lodge, thank you. Have booked again for 2025.
Gwenda
We have stayed in various lodges on Limefitt Park but as family were joining us we needed a larger lodge and we were not disappointed. There is everything you need and more! The cleaners should be praised as it was spotless. The beds were comfortable and we chose this lodge as there is a bath which we enjoy after a day's walking. It is situated in a quiet culdesac on the park with amazing views. The lodge is well maintained with lovely furnishings. We would highly recommend Hideaway Lodge.
Jennifer
We had an amazing time at Hideaway Lodge, which suited us perfectly. The lodge was spacious and comfortable and in a good location. We would definitely return to Hideaway Lodge again in the future.
Carole
Hideaway is a beautiful lodge in a perfect location. When we arrived the lodge was very clean, cosy, warm and welcoming and had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. There was also a much appreciated abundant supply of books, games and DVDs for the rainy days stuck indoors. We really enjoyed our 4 days at Hideaway and our two dogs loved it too! We look forward to returning next year.
This lodge is one of the best we have stayed in . Loved the fact there were so many childrens toys and games for my 4 year old . This lodge is so spacious and the walk in wardrobe and ensuite were a great feature . Good location on this lovely quiet park
Sharon
The lodge was fabulous and had everything we could possibly need the only ... The lodge was fabulous and had everything we could possibly need the only critique was the water pressure if you turned on a tap while someone was in the shower the water went off meaning we could only use one shower at a time but apart from that we had a lovely stay
Philip
We really enjoyed our stay at the hideaway lodge, and as a family with 4x children, it was definitely large enough for us all. There was a good selection of dvds to choose from, lots of cookware in the kitchen, some toys for the younger kids, an outside table and chairs, and a wrap around deck. The play park is excellent and the stream on site is great for paddling in. We didnt try the pub onsite but we certainly were not disturbed by it on an evening. It was a lovely quiet site. There were some dishwasher tablets left for us to use which was very helpful.
Naaila
We stayed at Hideaway lodge for three nights. We all including the children had a fantastic stay. Beautiful views, clean quiet lodge with great facilities. We look forward to booking again soon!
Lovely accommodation with lots of kitchen equipment, the weather was a bit inclement so the abundance of DVDs came in handy.
Steven
Thanks again for another brilliant week in hideaway lodge. Location, facilities & comfort all spot on. We reported a broken floorboard on the deck which was replaced same day. We noticed that the top hinge on the front gate is broken, and probably just needs longer screws. But apart from this, absolutely fabulous Thanks again The Tellwright family
Beverley
Beds where very comfy, thankyou. Very clean and well situated.
Leslie
It would be helpful to make the checkout time to be 11 or 12 oclock. Otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the lodge. The Haybarn being closed was a disappointment!
Lyndsey
Lovely lodge just as remembered from a previous stay, unfortunately there was building work being undertaken on the lodge behind us very noisy brick cutting leaving brick dust clouds right over the lodge and decking so we were not able to sit outside on the only decent day of the weekend Saturday! Other than that great lodge, very comfy, with beautiful views will definitely return.
We had a great week in a lovely lodge. The lodge was clean, comfortable and had everything you could want for a week away.
Shereene
Beautiful area. The local pub The Hay Barn were really welcoming, we arrived late, the children hadn't eaten and we had no milk, Mandy and the team at the Hay barn cooked pizza for us even tho the resturant was closed and gave us milk to keep us going to the morning. The accommodation was clean and had everything we needed including films to watch, books to read and games to play . It had amazing view from the sofa, watching the day start with a coffee was lovely.
Caroline
This was our fourth stay at Limefitt, and Hideaway Lodge Kirkstone 14, was our favourite Lodge. We would definitely book this cabin again.
Barbara
We arrived at a lovely, warm and welcoming lodge and really appreciated the Christmas tree and decorations. The accommodation was just perfect, with lots of room, very well equipped and in a great location. We had a lovely time!
