Thornthwaite Farm Holiday Cottages & Glamping Cabins
About
Thornthwaite Farm is set amidst the beautiful scenery of the Woodland Valley. We have four cottages including our 4 star Gold Award barn conversion, and our hand built Gold Award Log Cabin all with stunning views of the Lakeland fells. The cottages and Log Cabin are ideally situated for those wishing to go walking or cycling or just relaxing, with many walks from your cottage door.
The farm provides a unique diversity of landscape, including lowland flower meadows, ancient woods, rocky outcrops, streams and rivers. The farm also offers a diverse range of wildlife and fauna including rare orchids and mosses including a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Area of Conservation. We have 150 acres of beautiful woodland to explore, which are a vivid carpet of bluebells in the spring.
Additionally, guests can enjoy going badger watching at dusk, seeing the fox cubs playing or catching a glimpse of the barn owls out hunting. We also have available to guests our own trout fishing lake and river bank fishing.
Thornthwaite is located within easy reach of all the major attractions, however if you need to get away from it all and relax in a friendly atmosphere our farm is perfect. Each property has free Wi-Fi (please note the speed is slow.)

Road Directions
Leave the M6 Motorway at Junction 36, and take the first exit onto the A590. Follow the A590 as far as Greenodd Estuary, at the roundabout turn RIGHT onto the A5092. Continue along this road passing through the hamlets of Spark Bridge, Lowick and Gawthwaite. Approximately ½ mile after the hamlet of Gawthwaite, look for the turning on the RIGHT signposted ‘Woodland’. Take this RIGHT turn and follow the road for approximately 3 miles until you reach a ‘T’ junction. At this junction turn LEFT. After approximately 200 metres, you will see our sign is on your RIGHT, set back about 20 yards away from the road on the entrance wall. Come over the cattle grid and continue up the farm lane through the woods, taking the corners wide. After approx ½ mile you will come to the gates into Woodland Hall, DO NOT go through the gates into Woodland Hall, instead turn to the left, this brings you to Thornthwaite Farm.
