INTRODUCINGWILLO’S RETREATLIMEFITT PARK - TROUTBECK - WINDERMERE - CUMBRIA

Earlier this year we were reminded that we had actually been in business for 15 years!

Time has certainly flown since we decided to set up our first company and we thought that a 15 year milestone was worthy of celebration - so we decided to share this achievement with you....

WELCOME TO WILLO’S RETREAT

Afternoon tea at Willo’s lodge...

We decided that something quite special was in order and so are delighted to introduce to you ‘Willo’s Retreat’ - a luxury holiday lodge in Troutbeck, Cumbria, which is to be made available for holidays to all employees within our Group.

It is our intention that all staff will have exclusive use of this lovely holiday lodge for one week per year - so a free holiday!

We hope you will agree that this is really something special and that the investment made in this property pays dividends by giving everyone who stays there a great family holiday to remember!

This e-book has been produced to give you a taste of the facilities available at the lodge and little more information about the surrounding areas before your visit....

We hope you like it!

WHY WILLO’S RETREAT?

Whilst searching for a name for the lodge my sister, cousin and I remembered an old photo album belonging to my Granddad, which contained photos from 1941 and 1942, recording a holiday taken by my grandparents in South Lakeland.

Within the album were many photos of Windermere, Troutbeck, Ullswater and the surrounding fells, and it was remarkable to see how little some aspects of the area had changed ...and also how much more hardy the walkers of the 1940’s were - not a fleece or brightly coloured Goretex jacket in sight!

....so in the end it seemed only fitting to name the lodge using the name of my Granddad, Frank Wilson, who since his school days had always been known as Willo...
