A perfect location to explore the Lake District, there are seven high-quality, tastefully decorated, family-friendly self-catering cottages. WiFi is available throughout the cottages, free parking is available on-site and well-behaved dogs are welcome. 

The cottages are set in large, spacious grounds with several outdoor seating areas as well as numerous walks from the door.

Saddleback Barn is the largest cottage, sleeping up to seven people in three en-suite bedrooms. It has a large upstairs living area with panoramic views over Blencathra. 

Stable Barn sleeps up to five people in two en-suite bedrooms. 

Bannerdale is a luxury ground floor apartment sleeping up to four people in two en-suite bedrooms. It is suitable for wheel chairs with one of the bedrooms having a large wet room. There is also a separate sun lounge with magnificent views towards Blencathra. 

Sharp Edge is a luxury first floor apartment for two people.
