About this property

If there are adventure seekers among you, travel 7.5 miles to Keswick where you can book to go ghyll scrambling, canyoning and paddleboarding to name just a few activities on offer. Venture 12 miles to Whinlatter Forest Park where Go Ape! is a great place to entertain thrill seekers too. For a night off from the kitchen, Keswick is home to lots of eateries, or there are two welcoming pubs in nearby Threlkeld (4 miles).
