Badger's Way Lodge
A contemporary luxury lodge in the heart of a beautiful mountainous area; The Lake District National Park, which is now listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Badger's Way is our contemporary and luxurious two-bedroom lodge, that's ideal for nature lovers, walkers and those who simply want to relax and soak up the beautiful scenery here. Badgers pass by each evening and with a little patience, you are sure to get an exciting, close up view of them!
The lodge is situated at Limefitt, a 5 star countryside park near Lake Windermere, on the route to Kirkstone Pass and Ullswater. The spectacular scenery here, the well-kept grounds, the incredible beauty and attractions of the Lake District, together with the abundance of wildlife at Limefitt, will make a visit to Badger's Way unforgettable!
This is a light, airy lodge and is fully double glazed and centrally heated throughout.
Wall mounted TV, DVD and CD players, modern fireplace and contemporary furniture. Double doors lead onto the verandah. Limefitt has free WiFi but we also have our own free and stronger WiFi for guests to use. We have a well-stocked bookcase and a range of DVDs, CDs and games.
Fully equipped with double oven, grill and hob, fridge, freezer, microwave, toaster, kettle, plenty of crockery, cutlery, utensils etc, iron, board and vacuum cleaner. There is also a very useful 'hiking cupboard' for wet coats, bags and boots.
Double bed, wardrobes, drawers, small dressing table. The en-suite has a walk in shower, hand basin, toilet, shaving point and heated towel rail.
Two full-sized single beds, wardrobe, drawers and cupboards.
Bath with shower, hand basin, toilet, shaver point and heated towel rail.
A large, gated verandah which catches the sun from morning till evening. At the side of the decking, there is a small garden with seating, a grassed BBQ area and parking.
Badger watching is exciting and great fun! For the past few years, on our visits to Badger's Way, we have been lucky enough to see one or more badgers virtually every evening. They come whatever the weather and occasionally more than once in the evening. Badgers are creatures of habit so we hope they will continue to visit us for many years to come! The Badger Trust have sent us an information pack, which you may like to read whilst at the lodge.
