    “We stayed in the largest of the cottages - all renovated farm buildings. A magnificent view via a huge glass wall over the Wasdale valley and out to sea. The huge house was quirkyly renovated with chunky stone walls and ancient flooring - but...”

    “Unfortunately the keys had been left in the door inside and so we couldn't get in from the outside meaning it was almost a couple of hours before we could get access which was frustrating but apart from that, I absolutely recommend this property....”

Hi, my name is Rocky , I have been looking after the 4 properties on the Ranch for 7 years now and I want to wish you a very warm welcome to Windsor Farm House page. I would not want to live anywhere else as the views and peacefulness are unsurpassed in the Lake District. Hosting now since May 2019. This is a very peaceful World Heritage valley and respect for others and nature is vital. The Farm House is in two halves , this property is the family home and part of the year half of it reverts back to our family home. We love to share the absolutely stunning views and peace with our guests and hope they will respect and look after our home with care. Please take into consideration this is a 400 year old house and has been added to over the years, it has low beams , very thick stone walls and has all the issues that old properties have. We hope you will appreciate the fact that this is not a modern insulated perfect build house , but a house with character and history. We want you to have a wonderful time in our home and respect it and leave it as you find it. We can provide daily rental of Paddleboards and floatation Jackets for those who wish to try this sport on Wastwater Lake just a very short drive away and in view from the house. We love Horses here and we are a Pure Spanish Horse Breeding Stud Farm and with notice can arrange short or longer rides around the valley or in our arenas. Please enquire for rates for Paddle boards and Horse Riding.

The Hot Tub is inside a glass conservatory with astounding views of the whole valley for all weather use, it may not be available the first day as it needs to heat up fully from a full clean and refill before you arrive .
