Against the stunning backdrop of Skiddaw and the Uldale Fells, this 18th-century country house is set within 18 acres of beautiful gardens and woodland, and guests can spot resident red squirrels, deer, and rabbits in the extensive grounds.

The staff were so helpful and friendly. The surroundings were stunningly lovely and the garden and walks were beautiful. The food was incredibly good and reasonably priced for the very high quality. Beautiful meals and the breakfast has changed how I think of mushrooms. Great wines and cocktails.

    Beautiful setting and caravan was luxurious and spotless. Dog park and walk were great extras. The weather was lovely so great to have the decking around the caravan to sit outside. Close to lake area only short drive away but park was secluded and quiet for a relaxing break. Lots of thought has gone in to making this more than a home from home. We will definitely stay again.

    An amazing 'get away from it all' place in a stunning location. The lodge was beautiful and spotlessly clean. Everything you needed was there with added touches of luxury. Would definitely stay again. A car is needed if you want to explore local towns or amenities, but plenty of good walks close by. Very quiet location with amazing views of the surrounding mountains.

    The welcoming and friendly staff, their attention to detail and our every comfort was impeccable, and they were really nice people, too. The furnishings and decor were first class. It was a quiet and peaceful location and extensive walks were there, right from the door.
