Latest Review - it makes it all worthwhile

"All round excellent."

A very cosy, clean and well maintained cottage in a beautiful and peaceful location. The owners, Tim and Andrea, could not have been more helpful - and the welcome pack of the essentials was great to have. The location is excellent with one of the best short walks that I've been on starting 50 yards from the front door and stunning panoramic views just a 3 minute drive. Easy access to the sea, the Lakes and Carlisle.

Swaledale Watch - Beautiful in white

08/11/2021

We have had a wonderful time.

A quick thanks to all (every single one) of the guests that have stayed with us since we opened in August this year.

Having moved to Caldbeck in Cumbria from Leicester we entered into our new venture with some trepidation. But its been fantastic and the guests have made it so special. We've met so many wonderful people and many have already requested to come again or recommended us to friends.

Thanks so very much and hope to see you all again soon.

A view of an Osprey from the Annexe drive. Very hard to make out form this video but it’s on the right wall of the bridge.
What a wonderful place to be.

Walking Locally
The area is one of the more remote and lesser-known parts of the Lake District but boasts some outstanding scenery and some of the best, less frequented walking in the whole of the Lake District National Park.
There is a magnificent Beck-side walk from the front door to the centre of Caldbeck (25mins) which must not be missed!
Skiddaw (4th highest in England at 3053 feet high) and Blencathra (2847 feet high) can be reached from the North along quieter footpaths than the usual approaches.
There are many other fine fells to explore such as High Pike and Carrock Fell and Binsey.

Distances to each Lake
• Bassenthwaite– 8 miles (15 mins)
• Derwentwater – 17 miles (30 mins)
• Thirlmere – 22 miles (35 mins)

• Loweswater – 19 miles (40 mins)
• Buttermere – 22 miles (47 mins)
• Windermere – 33 miles (1hr)
• Coniston Water – 39 miles (1 hr 20mins)

Cycling
Bikes can be stored securely. The local roads are quiet and perfect for riding with some challenging hills in all directions from the front door. Or even just watch the cyclist ride by from time to time and relax.

Places on the coast to visit
• Allonby - 20 miles (30 mins)
• St Bees - 33 miles (55 mins)
