This former farmhouse is found part-way up Hallin Fell at the south end of Ullswater in the Lake District. The secluded location offers spectacular views over the fells and hidden valleys and is the perfect place for a relaxing getaway. The bedrooms are split between the main farmhouse, a converted barn and the old stables and each building is made cosy with underfloor heating and wood-burning stoves. Outside, guests can enjoy walled gardens and a Yorkstone terrace overlooking the rolling hills. For those seeking extra relaxation, a hot tub is available to hire on request – perfect for a soak after hitting the local hiking trails.

About The Lake District
Poets and novelists have often escaped to the Lake District for a spot of inspiration. Famously, Wordsworth pondered about daffodils and clouds during his time here. The undulating hills are tracked with drystone walls while sheep graze, and farmsteads enjoy untouched beauty for miles around. England’s biggest lake, Windermere, cuts through a valley, sleek as glass and hosts a litany of cosy-pub-filled towns and water sports venues along its shores....
