We will be opening, initially with reduced capacity, maintained social distancing and other, now usual, precautions. The self catering kitchen will remain closed, showers will be individually allocated and screens will be in use to separate diners. But WE WILL BE OPEN!

July 12th 2020
It is a slightly different experience, with a maximum of 16 guests (compared with our full capacity of 38), private showers and no self-catering. But it should still be great fun, with cooked breakfast included and dinner available in accordance with new guidelines. And, most importantly, still a great opportunity for rest and escape, with access to the wonderful Great Langdale valley and all that the Lake District has to offer.
