The Bothy is a 300 year old stone building and was originally the kitchen for the main house. It features a cosy, open-plan space with wood burning stove, antique furnishings and a chesterfield sofa – perfect for relaxing after a day on the Lakeland Fells. The charming shower room is on the ground floor with locally made, award winning natural toiletries.

The mezzanine (in the apex of the roof – you may need to duck!) has an inviting double bed for you to rest your head in anticipation of another day exploring the local walks and fells from your doorstep.
