Enjoy a quiet stroll along the pretty country lanes, explore the village or simply just relax on site. The atmosphere is quiet and peaceful and the scenery is unbelievably beautiful.

Visit the nearby town of Kendal which boasts a unique blend of independent speciality shops, high street names, a traditional market & regular farmer’s market selling superb local produce.
