At Lakes and Country Escapes we offer beautiful self-catering accommodation here in the Lake District.

An impressive barn conversion, comfortably sleeping 4 situated within the rural idyll of the Grizedale Valley, less than a mile south of the quaint village of Satterthwaite.

The Area The Grizedale Valley whilst idyllic and picturesque offers a multitude of adrenalin pumping activities hidden amongst the trees. The Grizedale Visitors Centre, just over a mile from the property offers a range of seasonal activities including stargazing walks, sculptural trails, pony trekking, and much more. Mountain bike fans will delight in the never-ending tracks and trails of Grizedale Forest, suitable for all levels of skill. You’ll also find a Go Ape and zip line course winding their way through the dense green canopy. Whilst Satterthwaite is a small village you’ll find a cosy country pub, The Eagles Head. Popular with locals and visitors alike, enjoy a quiet pint of local real ale outside, or sit and take in a hearty meal. The pub is less than a mile from 1 Force Mill Barn along a quiet country road. A torch is advisable if walking the route at night. Further afield the villages of Hawkshead, Ambleside, and Coniston are all accessible by car. Spend the day wandering around the eclectic collection of independent shops and cafes or enjoy lake life on the shores of Coniston Water. If you’re looking to gain some altitude and admire the views from the top during your time here, the Coniston Fell Range is a short drive away and includes seven magnificent Wainwright summits (Coniston Old Man, Dow Crag, Swirl How, Brim Fell, Wetherlam, Great Carrs & Great Friar). In essence, whether you are looking to explore or simply switch off for a few days, 1 Force Mill offers the very best of both worlds.
