Restoring a Lake District landmark
The cottage is coming to the end of a major renovation, started in early 2024. We have been working hard to bring this beauty back to life, and show it the love it deserves. Our first guests will have the luxury of staying in a freshly renovated, yet traditional and historic cottage.
