INTRODUCING
WILLO’S RETREAT
LIMEFITT 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...
