Wally’s Folly is a delightful wooden lodge settled into the Limefitt Park and with access to all on-site amenities, including a shop and pub, and rests in the beautiful Troutbeck valley. Offering pretty countryside views from the decking, as well as local walks and watersports, this is a fantastic location from which to explore the Lake District National Park and Cumbria. Park off-road and be welcomed into a charming space with tasteful furniture and ample amenities. Here there is a kitchen for cooking tasty meals, a dining space for four, and a sitting area benefiting from a TV and the ambient glow of the flame effect fire. When the sun is shining, throw open the double glass doors and head out onto the enclosed decking, enjoying the beautiful trees and rolling hills as you sip a coffee and plan the day ahead of you. When sleep calls, freshen up in either the Jack-and-Jill shower room or separate bathroom, before settling down for the night into either a twin (zip/link, can be double on request) or king-size bedroom. For eating out nearby, head over the valley to Troutbeck for a relaxed daytime stop at The Old Post Office Tea Room, while The Queens Head sits further up the road, ideal for an evening meal after a day on the fells. It’s easy to see why the Lake District remains a favourite for family breaks, with a wide range of activities on offer for those seeking adventure. Visitors can enjoy everything from guided hill walks and cycling to climbing, canoeing, archery, kayaking, and team-building experiences. Windermere and the surrounding area provide a mix of tranquil gardens, shopping, cinemas, and a theatre, alongside popular family attractions such as Brockhole, The Lake District Visitor Centre, home to an adventure playground and café, and Fell Foot Park, where rowing boats can be hired and picnic spots enjoyed. Venture further and Grizedale Forest Park awaits, offering activities including the Go Ape! adventure park, mountain biking trails, and scenic walking routes. Nearby, Ambleside offers a selection of cafés, while Troutbeck is home to a local pub and access to Lake Windermere. The area is also well placed for memorable walks, including routes around Scafell Pike, The Old Man of Coniston, and Helvellyn. There is so much waiting to be explored with a stay at Wally’s Folly.
