Ramblers' Rest Lodge in Windermere is highly praised for its peaceful location, comfortable accommodation, and excellent facilities. Guests enjoyed the proximity to local attractions and the natural beauty of the Lake District. The lodge's homely feel and modern amenities contributed to a memorable stay, despite isolated comments on cleanliness and maintenance.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Most guests found the lodge to be spotless and well-appointed. However, a few guests encountered issues with cleanliness, such as grubby kitchen surfaces and items left by previous occupants. These incidents seem to be exceptions rather than the rule.

The lodge's location is consistently lauded for its tranquillity and easy access to Windermere and surrounding areas. Guests appreciated the scenic views and the convenience of nearby attractions, making it an ideal base for exploring the Lake District.

Guests were very satisfied with the comfort of the lodge, mentioning cosy beds, a homely atmosphere, and a well-equipped living space. There were minor comments about the comfort of the sofa and dining chairs, but overall, the lodge provided a comfortable stay.

The lodge's facilities, including on-site amenities like a pub and shop, were well-received. The availability of Wi-Fi and modern conveniences were appreciated. Some guests suggested improvements, such as the addition of grab rails in bathrooms and better kitchen equipment maintenance.

There is insufficient information in the reviews to assess the level of thoughtfulness in terms of gifts or special touches provided by the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

About this property

Nestled in the Pinewood area of Limefitt Park, in the scenic Troutbeck Valley, is this delightful lodge, Ramblers' Rest Lodge. Enjoying magnificent views of the surrounding fells while in a fabulous park location, this homely dwelling is a great choice for families looking to break away from normality and explore the Lake District National Park. Internally, the lodge boasts a wooden theme with an open plan living space, so you can lounge on the sofa and keep the chef company whilst they prepare home-cooked meals, with assistance from the electric oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge and freezer. Serve dinner at the dining table before tuning into the Smart TV in search of your favorite shows, all while the subtle warmth of the electric fire aids relaxation. As you tire, head to the bedrooms to catch your rest, offering a double with en-suite shower and a twin, both fitted with storage units and TVs so you can continue your shows to bed. A pleasant bathroom rounds up the interior, with a bath and shower over, providing lazy soaks and refreshing rinses as you wish. Step outside and enjoy your morning coffee from the decked area, before venturing on a stroll through the park as you get to know your surroundings better, with a pub, small shop and children’s playground on site. If you’re looking for a night away from kitchen, nearby is The Queen’s Head, and round the corner is the Mortal Man, both traditional pubs serving a classic menu. Drive up over the spectacular Kirkstone Pass, then drop down and you’ll see Brotherswater – around seven miles from the Park. Continue toward the beautiful Ullswater and the hamlet of Glenridding for more great pubs, shops, Ullswater Steamers and amazing walks. Here you can start the ascent of Helvellyn, or the Ullswater Way which now goes all the way round this beautiful lake. Windermere is a delightful town, boasting a range of amenities, shops and restaurants to suit all tastes, whilst Ambleside offers the additional attraction of a boat ride to Bowness, where you visit the World of Beatrix Potter attraction, or visit the famous author’s home at ‘Hill Top House’ in Sawrey. However you choose to spend your time, return each evening to the warmth and comfort of Rambler’s Rest Lodge.

Windermere is a delightful town situated next to England's largest lake, Lake Windermere, sitting in the heart of the Lake District National Park.

    Weather was beautiful and lodge was so comfortable and clean with everything you could need.

  • Neil

    We will be back.

  • Nicola

    The cabin itself was very clean and comfortable with pretty much everything needed for our stay - the bed was one of the most comfortable we’ve ever slept in! It was great to have a pub on-site, serving pretty tasty food, and there are also some other pubs local - The Queen’s Head is a lovely pub serving great food!
