Is Walker's Retreat Lodge Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
Limefitt Holiday Park has a children's playground, adventure playground, football pitch and a zip wire (extra fee applies). Pony trekking is available nearby. The Xbox, DVDs and board games inside the lodge keep kids busy on rainy days. Windermere boat trips and Grizedale Forest Go Ape are both under 20 minutes away.
For Couples
The elevated position means the lodge is private and not overlooked. Sweeping valley views from the wrap-around deck at sunset are genuinely impressive. The Haybarn Inn is a two-minute walk through the woods. Fell walks start from the door and Ambleside's restaurants and cafes are just 5 miles away. Quiet and peaceful.
Pet Friendly
Pets are not permitted at Walker's Retreat Lodge. The wider Limefitt Holiday Park has dog-walking areas and is generally pet-friendly but this specific lodge does not accept animals. Guests travelling with pets should look for an alternative property in the Lake District Lodge Holidays collection.
