Bunk house accommodation in the South Lakes
Nathan and Karen have recently moved to Witherslack but have lived in the Eden Valley at the foot of the Pennines for 15 years, enjoying the idyllic surroundings of both the Pennines and The Lake District. We both love walking, cycling, and paddle boarding. Sox, our Bedlington Terrier is our playful doggy companion, who loves walks and treats. He also loves to meet our guests.
Whatever your passion we’re right at the heart of it all:
Cycling
Check out the Sustrans cycle routes; Walney to Wear Coast 70; Bay Cycle Way 700; Lakes & Dales Loop or you could ride one of the many MTB routes around the Lakes. There are excellent choices locally to hire electric bikes.
Walking:
Local and national walking routes right from the barn door: Cumbria Way, Dales Way, Whitbarrow National Nature reserve or you could book a guided walk with a local walking guide.
Paddling:
The River Levens and Kent are great for white water paddlers or try paddle boarding on Coniston, Windermere, Ullswater or Derwent Water.
Wild Swimming:
Go wild swimming in the lakes or check out some of the hidden, magical pools off the beaten track.
Culture & Gardens:
Levens Hall, Sizergh Castle and Holker Hall are all within a short drive. Halecat gardens, home to Abi & Tom’s plants and various artists is nearby too, as is the lovely parish church at Witherslack or check out Beethams Nursery at Milnthorpe.
Food & Drink:
We’re not a catered accommodation, but we offer great self catering facilities at the bunk house.
Good food can be sourced locally with a great choice of fabulous local pubs within walking and driving distance – The Derby Arms is a 10 minute cycle or 30 minute walk away, the Hare & Hounds at Levens or try the Punch Bowl at Crosthwaite. Booking is always recommended.
The quaint town of Grange-over-Sands is just down the road with a great selection of places to eat or to take a leisurely stroll along the promenade.
