Robin View Lodge in Windermere is highly praised for its stunning location and the added luxury of a hot tub. Guests have enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, the tranquillity of the park, and the convenience of having a pub on-site. While some guests have noted issues with maintenance and cleanliness, the overall experience is one of comfort and relaxation, with many looking forward to returning.
Most guests found the lodge clean and comfortable, though there were a few instances of cleanliness concerns such as dog prints and a report of a damp odour in one of the bedrooms. These seem to be isolated incidents rather than a general trend.
The lodge's location is consistently lauded for its beauty and tranquillity. Guests appreciate the proximity to local attractions and the park's picturesque setting, making it an ideal base for exploring the Lake District.
Guests generally find the lodge comfortable, with a homely feel and cosy atmosphere. However, some guests mentioned that the lodge could be cramped for larger parties and that the bedding could be improved for a better night's sleep.
The hot tub is a highlight for many guests, though there are comments about maintenance issues such as a broken door handle and worn kitchen units. The park's facilities, including the pub, are well-received.
While guests have not specifically mentioned gifts, they have noted thoughtful touches like the provision of a Christmas tree. However, there is not enough information to score this category accurately.
About this property
Robin View Lodge is a modern holiday lodge situated in the Beckside area of Limefitt Park. The lodge is beautifully designed to offer a welcoming and relaxing break from the moment you arrive. The bright and airy open plan means guests can all get involved in the cooking or planning of activities for their stay. Robin View Lodge benefits from a secluded hot tub so you can relax and take in the surrounding views after a long day walking on the fells. There is also a seating area out on the deck so you can enjoy a glass of wine on warmer evenings. Many guests return year after year to this lovely lodge. Limefitt Park is in a stunningly secluded location in the Troutbeck Valley, on the A592 out of Windermere, but only four miles away from the busy village. Here you’ll enjoy nature and lovely views, and the Trout Beck running through the park. There’s a dog-friendly pub on site, a small shop and children’s playground. From here you can walk through the fields to the fabulous pub The Queens Head, and round the corner to the Mortal Man, both traditional old pubs with log fires and a warm welcome. The Lake District is all about making special memories with your loved ones.
The twin towns of Bowness and Windermere are both vibrant, fun-filled places set within the splendid scenery of the Lake District. Both towns provide a range of amenities, shops and restaurants to suit all tastes whilst Ambleside offers the additional attraction of a boat ride to Bowness, the Lakeside Aquarium and Beatrix Potter's 'Hill Top House' at Sawrey. Grizedale Forest Park is within easy driving distance and is home to a range of activities including many good walks, mountain biking and the 'Go Ape' adventure park. The region also boasts many National Trust properties as well as a variety of water sports for those who prefer a more adrenaline-fuelled trip. Children will enjoy a trip to the 'World of Beatrix Potter' in Bowness whilst the villages of Grasmere, Coniston Water, Kendal, Keswick and the Lakeland Mountains are all within easy reach.

However the lodge is well loved and needs some tweaks. From reading other reviews the sofa with no legs has been that way since at least June and we visited at the end of October. It did make it unusable for us as we are in our 50âs and my knees donât quite behave as they used to! Whilst we were there one of the legs on the other sofa broke. This was on top of a few other things we called maintenance about. They resolved everything in the afternoon we were out including getting a new sofa (with legs!). This was outstanding by the maintenance team but my counter argument would be if this could be solved so quickly reactively, why has the other sofa not been addressed in 4 months? Itâs a smaller lodge but itâs really cute and it would not take a great deal to make a 3 into a 5 as it has a brilliant location on a fabulous site. The hot tub is well maintained although it is quite noisy through the night. Limefitt is a gorgeous park which is quiet but quite beautiful. The on site Pub was great and there are lots of walks to be had from your lodge. We would definitely go to the park again as it really is so lovely. However, as cute as Robin View Lodge is we would question returning to stay there.

Unfortunately the negativeâs were far moreâ¦. In a nutshell the lodge needs a FULL refurbishment, itâs in dreadful condition. Having read some of the reviews before we went I was rather concerned but thought that surly the problems would have been sorted , how wrong was I. No legâs on one of the setteeâs is absolutely unacceptable as was the mould in the shower/bath, kitchen units fully scratched, sliding wardrobe didnât work , my husband had to fix it! . Obviously the previous reviews have NOT been taken into consideration. Itâs such a shame because it could be lovely if refurbishment were to happen. We Will not return .

Having the hot tub was great and this was well maintained. Had a lovely stay here and would recommend this to anyone thinking of a holiday here. The park grounds were also well looked after.
