EXPLORE THE SOUTH LAKES

Our cottages are in the Central and Southern lakes. They are close to all the attractions that the Lake District has to offer.

Well what about the walks? I hear you say! We love the walk to Hampsfell from Fell View and High Dam from Woodside and we round them off with a visit to The Pheasant Pub in Allithwaite and The Swan at Newby Bridge.
We visit the cottages every 6 weeks to check on them and enjoy the area, and we work very hard to provide wonderful holiday cottages where you can truly relax.

One of our favourite places to visit is Cartmel. The village store is famous for being the “Home of Sticky Toffee Pudding”

Just imagine…

Just imagine, if you stay at Woodside, you can take an early morning walk up to High Dam. One of the most peaceful lakes, that was much favoured by Alfred Wainwright where you can marvel at the solitude and serenity of this stunning location!

Or if you’re staying at Fell View stop for a coffee at one of the many cafes in the area or head to Cartmel and wander its ancient streets!

You can visit Hawkshead or Bowness on Windermere for a bit of retail therapy! All are so easy to reach.

Perhaps you’re like Hugh, my middle son, always looking for something challenging? So just imagine the fun you can have at Grizedale Forest’s  Go Ape, Segwey or mountain biking or just come for the scenery!

Discover Historic Houses and Gardens

If you enjoy spectacular gardens and Historic houses of National importance then you won’t be disappointed in the Lake District, with the abundance of places to visit.     

Discover Beatrix Potter and Peter Rabbit

Beatrix Potter’s legacy can be  experienced by visiting Hill Top, her Lake District home. This historic National Trust house is the jewel in their crown and not to be missed. Hawkshead has the Beatrix Potter gallery for you to see some of her works.
