ARRIVING BY CAR: Take the M6 to junction 36 then turn onto the A590 to Barrow-in-Furness. Stay on this road for about 15 miles, through Newby Bridge and about 4/5 miles on from there, turn right to Greenodd, Workington and Coniston on the A5092. Follow this road for about 5/6 miles up a very steep hill through Gawthwaite and down the other side.

As you start your descent down the hill, the road turns fairly sharply to the left and then becomes straight. Look out for a turning on the right on the straight with railings on both sides. It is just after a single road sign on the right saying 8% steep hill. (This is not a road, only a driveway and at night is hard to see). Take this turning and continue until the lane forks. Turn to the right for Beckstones Cottage.

We are 30/35 mins from the motorway junction. Any problems please ring 01229 889888.

ARRIVING BY AIR: From Liverpool Airport it is about 2 hours drive up the M6 or from Manchester Airport about 1 1/2 hours.

ARRIVING BY TRAIN: The nearest station is Ulverston, but to get there you have to change trains at Preston. The best mainline station to get to is Oxenholme, just outside Kendal and the train service is very good either from Manchester or London Euston.
