Home description

The studio suite offers teletext TV, DVD players and DVD library, double glazing and heating. The facilities include a restaurant and bar where breakfast, lunch and dinner are available, a fully equipped leisure club including a heated swimming pool with spa bath, sauna, steam room, squash, pool table, fully equipped gym and table tennis. There is an18 hole crazy golf, course, 9 hole putting green, giant draughts/chess board, children’s adventure play area and mini football area.
From the most energetic hiker, climber, cyclist, golfer or watersport enthusiast to those who prefer to meander gently by car or boat – visitors find that each lake and tarn has its own individual character. So that whatever time of year you visit and however long you stay, you can be sure of some wonderful new experience every day.

The Cumbria/Lake District
Whitbarrow Village shelters at the foot of Blencathra Fell. The surrounding mountains offer a rich choice of views, walks and destinations such as Wordsworth’s and Beatrix Potter’s homes.
Ullswater is the second largest of the Lakes, and has its own unique character. Although very popular with visitors, it retains an easy-going and unspoilt quality.
