Walker's Retreat Lodge Reviews

Another great stay at Walker's Retreat. The lodge is lovely and like home from home. Has everything you need and in a good location at the back of Limefitt. Will definitely be returning. Thank you Annie!

We have very much enjoyed our stay at Walkers Retreat. Very clean and magnificent views, best plot I would say on the site, not overlooked and a lot quieter than I thought it would be. Lovely to have the sheep roaming around the site and we were very lucky to have a couple of Deer arrive at the back of our bedroom! Only small negatives, the steps up to the property are very steep a lot steeper than they look on the picture, and I must agree with a previous guest that there is a funny smell when you enter the property, especially in the lounge and dining area, smells a bit like old cooking spices! But saying that we would definitely stay again. Thank you very much.

We had a lovely stay at Walkers Retreat, the location is wonderful and there is so much to do in the area. We could have stayed for another week. The living accommodation was very spacious for two adults, the bedrooms are not quite so roomy but there is plenty of storage space. The hand rail by the steps to the property is not secure and needs attention. We hope to come back again one day and we would be very pleased to stay here again.

Really enjoyed a long weekend at Walkers Retreat Lodge. Great location, spotlessly clean, great for walks from the door step, convenient for Winderemere and Ambleside, nice view. Things to consider, some steep steps to gain access, fine for us but could be tricky for some. We stayed during the heatwave, it remained pretty cool, but a blind or curtain for the front door would be brilliant. Gas oven seemed to be a bit temperamental, was full on flame and never cut out when temperature reached so made cooking quite tricky. Would happily stay again, lovely place.

Great place, very clean and tidy, comfortable and had everything we needed.

Lovely peaceful lodge with amazing views

Lovely lodge well situated, had everything we needed and was an excellent stay. Will be booking again in the future

Beautiful accommodation with everything working. Nice to have board games, books and movies. Mattress and pillows were very comfortable. Surrounding very clean and well maintained. Beautiful and Stunning views from accommodation.

Lovely lodge with fabulous views. Very well equipped, comfy beds and good shower.

Lodge spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Front steps very steep and the hand rail at the top needs some attention. Glorious views from kitchen and dining room windows. Overall a nice place to stay. The kitchen roll hacked in half with a knife to use as loo roll was a bit of a low point!

Our 4th time at Walkers Retreat and it never disappoints. Had a lovely stay. The lodge is like a home from home. Has everything you need. Comfortable, clean and perfect location at the back of the site. Quiet and private. Walks straight from the door. The line separating the parking space is a great idea too. Already looking at when we can book again. Thanks for a lovely stay!

The lodge was a lovely place to stay the views was amazing very comfortable so relaxing only down fall was we couldn't get the key out the safe it was a bit fidgety and unfortunately as you walk in the front door it was full of cobwebs even the paper towel holder in the kitchen was full of cobwebs maybe cleaners just need to do a double check over after cleaning but haven't said that overall it was a lovely lodge me and the 2 children loved it and will definitely be rebooking thank you so much for having us.

The plug in the bath didn't seem to make a good seal.

This lodge had everything you wanted and needed to have the perfect holiday, it was spotless inside and had everything you needed, the views from the decking were amazing and you had perfect walks on your doorstep. Windermere and Ambleside were a short drive away, I would recommend it to anyone thinking of going to the lakes.

This was our 2nd time to Walker's Retreat and we really enjoy staying here. It's comfy and well equipped and is in a great spot within the park.

It was a lovely cabin and cited in a perfect location on the site itself, we did find a credit card that was underneath one of the couches that I tried to email several different emails to inform them but no reply, so this was handed into the reception on Monday 23rd June . The only downside I would say is that we thought the check in time was too late , 4pm is pretty much a whole day over with and when you include a long drive to get there, it limits you on going anywhere specific as things normally close at 5pm , to me there should be a discount as you only check in for the first night only. If the check in was from 1pm it would give us time to actually spend a day visiting places & When check out is 10 am , 6 hours before the next check in is a long time wasted in between in our opinion . This is the only thing I would change. Everything else was lovely and enjoyable.

Over all we enjoyed our stay at Walker's Retreat, the property inside was clean and comfortable. It is in a prime position and being elevated above other lodges isn't overlooked and we would recommend it. However on the downside there was a no soap in the bathroom or toilet, very little washing up liquid and no cleaning materials. We needed the cleaning materials because the decking area hadn't been cleaned in a while. The table and chairs were dirty and the fencing was covered in cobwebs and bird droppings. This is the third time we have stayed here and although it's been a few years since we last stayed we found it a little disappointing.

We had a brilliant stay at Walker's Retreat, everything was absolutely spotless, the bed very comfortable and the shower perfect after a day in the hills. Views from the Lodge were gorgeous. We managed 6 Wainwright's even though the weather was quite poor. The walking from the door is amazing and the Post Office cafe well worth a visit.

A lovely lodge in a fantastic location with beautiful scenery, wildlife and walks from your doorstep. Highly recommended.

Another lovely break at Walkers Retreat. This our 3rd visit this year and will definitely rebook in the future. The owners have really made the lodge a home from home. Very cosy and comfy. Lovely bathroom with a bath which was great after a days fell walking. The lodge has everything you need and in such a peaceful, great location. Some lovely walks from the door. Look forward to returning at some point.

This was our first holiday not staying in a hotel and honestly this has sold us on staying in lodges! The whole place was wonderful, so clean and well equipped, comfy and cosy! And the views were were spectacular!! The only slight things we would say is slightly comfier mattresses found them a little lumpy but still slept like logs and we would have loved some bird feeders available as we love wildlife and could see all the lovely birds flying past. However, these are such minor things and we loved every moment and hope to come back again! Ideal location, beautiful views, everything we could need, wonderful shower and well equipped kitchen, easy access and all around wonderful!!

Just returned from another stay at Walkers Retreat. Had a lovely time. The lodge was comfortable, clean and like home from home. Lovely and quiet as situated at the back of the park. Great walks from the door. We did have an abrupt lodge owner bang on the door advising we were half parked in their space. On our 1st visit to Walkers Retreat we were advised the 2 parking places outside belonged to Walkers Retreat so therefore I parked straddling both spaces. Which the owner of the lodge to the right of Walkers Retreat, when looking up at WR from the bottom the parking spaces, advised that one space was theirs and she was quite rude. We were also advised that the space below the other lodge was their only parking space. It might be an idea to put a small sign post with the number of the lodge on, at the end of the parking area to advise which space belongs to which lodge. Apart from that, we had another lovely stay and will definitely book again. Look forward to returning sometime.

Just returned from a short break at Walkers Retreat, Limefitt Park. Absolutely loved it. The lodge was lovely and clean. Very comfortable and had everything you need. The information folders were helpful too. The lodge is situated at the back of the park, very peaceful and quiet. Had such a relaxing time. Beautiful area, lots of walks from the lodge. Highly recommend and will definitely be returning to Walkers Retreat at some point. Thank you!

What a beautiful Lodge, a home from home. You should be proud of yourselves for providing one of the best lodges that we have stayed in. Everything that was needed was there and the views were to die for. None of us wanted to come home. I don't know when, but we will be back. Thank you so much for allowing us to share your Lodge.

Great lodge in fab location but. Take note of the information regarding the steps to the lodge, they are VERY steep and definitely not suitable for anybody with mobility issues.

Very impressed all we couldve wished for only down point was when all the ... Very impressed all we couldve wished for only down point was when all the power went out on Wednesday but that was not your fault all the valley was out but had a very nice time thank you mr D lees

My family and I had a great time using the Walkers Retreat as our base. I have a 4 and 2 year old who absolutely loved the lodge and felt completely at home. The only thing we missed was a washing machine but it wasn't the end of the world! We are looking forward to coming back and staying at this property again x

Walker's Retreat is a lovely, well maintained lodge in an idyllic setting. The price was spot on. We wouldn't hesitate booking again in future.

We were really pleased with the lodge. Great location and nice and clean. It was super easy to get in with keys in the key box. We had a lovely stay and would definitely stay there again. Thanks

Lodge was spotless and facilities were excellent. No WiFi but Im glad. I didnt go there to look at my phone. Area beautiful and lodge situated in an awesome spot.

An excellent lodge, decor and facilities first rate. Located in a quiet area of the park with views across to the fells. Would highly recommend.

My family loved the lodge. It was the perfect base for our stay in the Lake District. Its location in the park also suited us down to the ground at the top, backing onto the wood, with a great view from the decking area. It was clean, tidy, and comfortable and wed definitely book to stay here again in the future. One suggestion we have would be for the lodge have some kind of welcome booklet containing instructions for the appliances, local recommendations, suggested walks and the like. Whilst the cooking appliances by and large were pretty straightforward to use, we had issues with the DVD player. The TVs were fine, only one evening, we wanted to watch a dvd and for some reason we couldnt get a picture from the player to the screen. We were probably missing something straightforward, but some instructions wouldnt have gone amiss as theres always some idiosyncrasies no matter how au fait one might be with such equipment. A couple of nice touches might be a welcome pint of milk, teabags and coffee for that cuppa one might need when youve first arrived. Also some small welcome bars of soap in the bathrooms. Finally a guest book would also be a nice touch. These have been things that we have had, when staying at other Lake District Lodge Holidays lodges in the past. Please understand that these are just minor suggestions and not criticisms!! As I say, we really enjoyed our stay and would gladly recommend this lodge.

The property was in a lovely location on Limefitt Park. It had all the basic amenities for our stay. We have stayed in lots of lodges in Limefitt Park in the past so have lots to compare. Walkers Retreat is the most basic of all the lodges we have stayed in aside from 2 Xbox games there was no other form of entertainment a couple of family board games or jigsaws would be a nice addition. Also, there was a hanky & discarded tissue down the side of the bed in the main bedroom on arrival. We did have a lovely stay and Im glad I was over prepared by bringing little extras like oil, condiments, extra toilet rolls and games & toys for the children. Other lodges have had these extras and these little touches have made our stay more enjoyable in the past. One other extra things weve experienced in other lodges have been leaflets of things to do in the area and a guestbook.

Lovely accommodation. Cosy. Good facilities. Perfectly located.

The accommodation was as advertised and there were no unwelcome surprises. The view at Walker's Retreat is spectacular and the convenience of the location and onsite facilities was excellent. As a family of 4 on our summer holiday, it was perfect. I would highly recommend Walker's Retreat to others.

Nice and relaxing stay in a modern lodge, We have visited limefitt park in the past and we like the peacefulness after having a day out in the busy Lake District . We look forward to visiting again in the future.

The lodge was great. Very comfy and clean with everything we needed for a great stay. Views were stunning, location brilliant. Facilities great. Staff friendly. Only one issue the fridge wasnt working properly as it froze everything in it from milk to cucumbers! We turned the setting down to the lowest possible but everything still came out like ice lollies!
