Self catering accommodation in Borrowdale, Cumbria

High House in Seathwaite, at the head of the popular valley of Borrowdale, offers comfortable bunkhouse self-catering accommodation in a converted 16/17th century farmhouse set within its own grounds.

It is popular with walking and climbing clubs and is regularly used by outdoor education and corporate groups. Group bookings only, not individual beds, and early booking is advised - especially for weekends.

There are two dorms, each with toilet, washbasin and shower, a large common room with stove (fuel provided), easy chairs, library and dining area, a drying room and a fully fitted kitchen. Outside there is a fire pit, stream, tables, benches and car parking in large enclosed grounds.

High House is run by K Fellfarers as an unmanned bunkhouse and groups are responsible for cleaning it before they leave.
