The Hayloft

Located in a peaceful rural hamlet in the Lake District National Park. Easy access to fells, lakes and Solway coast. A 17th Century converted stone barn with lofted ceilings and exposed stone walls.

The Hayloft has a king-size bed with 100% cotton bed linen with duvets. A cot is available for babies up to 15kg in weight. Plenty of books, games and things for the children. Garden to enjoy, with garden furniture, picnic tables and barbecue facilities.

Ideally situated in a quiet hamlet, forming part of the Allerdale Ramble near Bassenthwaite Lake, you can amble along to the next village admiring the valley scenery with the River Derwent below. Keswick is 8 miles away. You can take a 20 minute drive to the beach at Mawbray, along the Solway Coast, a very accessible area of outstanding natural beauty with long flat beaches and coastal walks. More strenuous walks are Skiddaw or the Buttermere range.

We can recommend something less daunting that still give spectacular views. Other activities nearby include horse riding, fishing, canoeing, sailing, Whinlatter Forest park, golf and well-established biking routes to suit all abilities. Cockermouth has plenty of restaurants from traditional Chinese, Indian, vegetarian and Italian and some very interesting local pubs and brews. So if you fancy dining out there is plenty of choice and some will deliver to the door. Arrival time 16.00 and departure time 10.30. All children welcome.
