Accommodation
Much as we would love to, we are not able to offer accommodation on site - apart from one Airbnb room (Stable Hideaway). However, there is lots of accommodation both within walking distance - in the valley of Kentmere, and further afield in Staveley, Ings, Windemere,and Kendal.
The Lake District is a hugely popular holiday destination, so accommodation books up well in advance in the summer months. Book early!
I have added links to as much accommodation as I can, but if you have any difficulty finding accommodation, do let me know and I can see if I can find somewhere for you.

Stable Hideaway - Self-catering - sleeps 2
