Is This Cottage Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families

Older children who enjoy mountain walking will find direct access to high-level trails from the property. The hot tub provides entertainment after outdoor activities. Younger children may find the exposed mountain location and limited flat ground challenging. Aira Force waterfall 6 miles away offers family-friendly walks with safety barriers. Rheged Centre 12 miles distant provides indoor activities for rainy days.

For Couples

The private hot tub at 1,489 feet elevation offers starlit mountain evenings after fell walks. En-suite rooms provide privacy and comfort in this historic 15th-century coaching house. Walk straight onto high fells together without crowds. Sunset views across the pass create memorable moments. The remote mountain setting guarantees peace away from busy tourist areas. Ullswater and Windermere both lie within 20 minutes for lakeside walks.

Pet Friendly

Dogs are welcome at the inn. Walking routes begin immediately from the property with open fell access for off-lead exercise. The high-altitude location means sheep grazing nearby, so good recall is essential. Ground floor rooms with direct outdoor access suit dogs best. Towels help after muddy mountain walks in typical Lake District weather conditions.
