In Windermere town, 2.5 miles approximately away, there are a variety of shops, two excellent butchers, two pharmacies, one is part of a high street chain, a couple of newsagents, again one major high street name, a florist, several bistro style eateries and a Booths supermarket.
There are also a selection of “take-aways” , chinese, indian and pizza, so the less able cook need not starve! At time of writing there is no delivery service to Limefitt Park.
Booths is situated just behind the railway and bus station, and infront of the flagship Lakeland Plastics store. Booths regularly stocks lots of lovely local produce and an excellent selection of local beers at competitive prices.
In the lodge, there is a parking disc which enables parking for one hour on the main street of Windermere.

The Lake District has inspired many great writers such as Wordsworth, Gray, Southey, Wainwright and of course Beatrix Potter, it is so easy to see why, especially in the Kirkstone Pass area where Limefitt is situated!
Beatrix Potter, the renowned childrens writer owned a farmstead in Troutbeck called Troutbeck Farm. As well as being famous for writing the series of books, Miss Potter actually helped support sheep farming in the area building up a flock of herdwick sheep.
