Date of Visit: April 2010 Unit:  Static
Reviewer: Lellyk 1 review from this member

 Excellent Caravan Park, best equipped caravan and standard we have ever stayed in, it came equipped with towels, toilet roll and even soap this was fab, (we have stayed in many up and down the uk)! A fairly quiet park, don't use if you are expecting to party till dawn and want a person dressed in an outfit to baby sit your children for you.

Really friendly helpful staff, lovely food and huge portions. Child play area very good, even us adults had a go on some of the things. Very close to Ambleside and Windermere.

Site shop has been moved to reception and has a very limited choice so expect to buy or bring your own before arrival.

Reviewer: Walker Dan 9 reviews from this member

 Only has a limited number of touring pitches now which are fairly close together and we felt fairly hemmed in by caravans and awnings, with cars parked all over the place.

Most of the park is given over to lodges and permanent caravans and I think this is the way things are heading.

Lovely area with not too many other touring parks close by.

Food in on site pub very good despite the inside and outside appearance. One or two folk wandered in but didn't stay. Food was good, beer not as clever.

Queens Head pub a mile or so up the road in Troutbeck excellent for food but may get busy.

 In a very beautiful part of the Lakes with lots of walks from the site.

Good overall facilities, the pub on site served good food but the decor in places is looking a little tired.

It stated in the site details that there was a Motorhome service point but we couldn't find it.

Toilet block OK, mens and womens, showers good, plenty of hot water.

Childrens play area brilliant, the river pool was definitely a hit as we had lovely sunny weather.

They did not appear to enforce any of the rules in relation to cycling on roads near the touring part and skateboarding. They need to decide if there is any point in having them!

I was surprised also that a caravan next to us was allowed to park across the pitch, making their front window look onto our grassed area instead of forwards.

Overall we had a good time there and may return sometime.

 This site from 2009 no longer accepts tents - what a shame - we have had such lovely camping holidays there. Just up the road from the campsite is a lovely pub with excellent pub meals. Lovely walks from the campsite. Facilities of a very good standard but does get booked up quickly. There is a pub on site which is nice for a drink and a meal. Small shop on site.

 We enjoyed our time at Limefitt but felt that the site was more interested in the static owners and trying to sell you one.

It is a lovely site in stunning location. The road to get to it from Windermere can be a bit hairy especially if you have a big outfit.

On arrival pitch was already allocated. Ours was in a handy location next to toilets. Quite a bit of space between pitches. However, depending on how many nights you stay depends on where you are put. We were there for 4 nights so on long stay so pitch was fully serviced inc tv hook up.

Site has small shop, pub which was old barn. This is lovely beer and food bit on pricey side but nice place to chill.

I found the site to be quite good facilities clean and tidy. Staff helpful. I would probably not return as it is just too far out of Windermere for my liking and meant we had to use the car all the time. Think there is a bus service but it is fairly intermittent.

Date of Visit: October 2008 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Mooney3 6 reviews from this member

 Very scenic site surrounded by mountains and hills. At this time of year it was picturesque with full Autumn colours and on our last day woke up to snow capped hills.

Reception is a beautiful really old cottage with friendly reps

The touring sites are numbered and as mentioned in previous reviews are fairly bald with very hard ground. However they are spacious enough for full rig including full awning and majority are now super service pitches.

Toilet and shower blocks were very acceptable and always kept clean.

Wasn't much going on in the play areas as it was just about Zero but I could imagine that during warm months these areas could become very easily overcrowded.

Pub is quite some size with a couple of pool tables, a games room and a darts board as well as a 'chill out room' for a quieter evening if needed.

Only one downside to our short stay. Two nights on the trot the park lost its electricity to certain parts of the site including half of the touring section. This meant the main area of the Pub was also out of bounds. However the 'chill out room' was open and bottled drinks were served. Unfortunately the heating in this room was electric ignited meaning no heat.

This was only a minor qualm though and I would definitely go back in the summer or maybe even hire out a couple of the log cabins over New year with the family.

 The site is well positioned in a lovely valley 2-3 miles from Windermwere. As you would expect the views are perfect (in all directions). Toilet blocks were clean and tidy, the shop well stocked and the on site pub is the cheapest for food and beer in the area.Our only son is a bit old for the play area (24yrs), but I would have had a go on the 'death-slide' myself if no one had been looking.

There are 2 pubs/restaurants in the vicinity- The Mortal Man is nice, but a long walk (up hill!), The Queens Arms is better, both the food and the log fires, and is closer,located along the main road toward the pass.

We used one of the full service pitches , which meant I didn't have to lug water and waste about, but the TV connection didn't pick up a signal (better without.).

Despite being late in the year the site was quite full, so book !

Lots of places to visit in the area - boat rides on the lake - Beatrix Potter fans must take the ferry across to the west bank and visit Hill Top.

This was our first visit to this site. But not the last!

Reviewer: Alkaz 10 reviews from this member

 Almost 12 months after our last visit we were astounded to find that the big tent field now had lodges on it. We enquired about the long stay caravan pitches and were told that this was going to be the last season for such. Also it was the last season for tents, which must be hugely disappointing for campers. We were on pitch number 9 which is in a slightly elevated position, these were going to have lodges on the pitches next year. The tourers would then be housed where the long stay pitches were.

The site is one of the most scenic in Cumbria set in the troutbeck valley, it has its own pub and restaurant and great,free,power showers. Not good news for dog owners either as from what we were reading Limefitt operate a No Dogs policy which I find a bit extreme. When we visit next year I would probably find there are to be no more tourers.

 Would echo many of the previous reviews here. Site is obviously cutting down on tent space and moving over to caravans and statics. However, it is well located and organised. Pitches are numbered - though this means they are very worn and have hard ground. Toilet blocks good, on site shop and bar (children welcomed) not bad. Playground and play area good for children and they loved paddling in the river. 


Date of Visit: June 2008 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: James1309 3 reviews from this member

 Stayed on the site the end of June, the weather was horrendous, belting down with rain when we pitched, luckily had purchased rock pegs as a previous review had stated how hard the ground was, not wrong, invest in some, they are a must.

Nice spacious pitch, just unfortunate we where next to 2 people arguing from 2.30pm until 1am when I told them to shut up, do the camping world a favour, get divorced.

The park is set in a beautiful place, rolling hills either side, unfortunately could not bbq because of the weather, me the wife and my 2 yr old took a walk up to the pub.

The staff where very friendly and the pub had a cosy feel, the toilets are pretty grotty and there was nowhere to change the baby.

Overall the food was ok, bit pricey for a drink which you would expect as there was no pub in the near vicinity.

The shop was adequate and had all want you required if you run out of supplies.

My son had a ball in the childrens play area despite the downpour, nice and safe and well maintained.

Again the shower block was well maintained, plenty of hot water and never had to queue despite the park being full.

One gripe was in the baby changing room, there was no bins at all and just a ledge to put the baby on,could be quite dangerous, could of benefited with those plastic changing tables you see in certain changing rooms.

All in all we tried to make the most of an absolute waterlogged weekend, its quite a dear stay at £25 per night, but probably will return to the site again in the future.
