    “What a weekend!”

    We celebrated a 30th birthday 25 women ages from 18 to 70 The place is fantastic absolutely massive, everything we needed was there , hot tubs kept clean and topped up, Sarah was there at hand if needed, check in was easy and not complicated, the rooms where fantastic clean and tidy fresh bedding on before we arrived. The kitchen was big enough for us to cook a meal for 24 of us and plenty of seating area.... would definitely recommended..... a 25 minute walk into bowness where there were pubs ...

Brockhole, which offers high wire tree top experiences, is three miles away, and the historic villages of Grasmere, Ambleside and Troutbeck are a short drive away. There is also a variety of watersports on offer for the more energetic at marine centres along the lake.
