The farm is a working beef and sheep farm covering over 600 acres of low and highland ground. It may be possible to view certain aspects of farm work at different times of the year, such as lambing and sheep clipping. And Martyn is always on hand to answer your questions.

The house has recently been extensively renovated to the highest of standards resulting in first class accommodation. The house is typical of its period featuring exposed beams, a fantastic inglenook fireplace and with antique décor.

The farm boasts panoramic views across Bassenthwaite Lake to the front and Ullock pike and Skiddaw to the rear, you can enjoy the panorama enfolding in front of you with the binoculars supplied in each room, you may even be lucky enough to catch sight of the ospreys, or other wildlife which is of abundance to the area.

The views from the farm are second to none due to its elevated position, overlooking Bassenthwaite Lake and beyond, changing daily as the seasons and the colours change. The farm is ideally located in picturesque surroundings, green fields and mountains, making it the ideal base for your Lakeland holiday whether it is for walking, touring or just plain relaxing.
