Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This home comprises a Grade II listed farmhouse and an adjoining barn, and is perfect for large groups of family or friends. There’s plenty of room for everyone to gather together, and those seeking a bit more privacy will appreciate that not everyone is under one roof. The views over the fells are wonderful – this home can be found halfway up Hallin Fell at the south end of Ullswater. Strike out on scenic walks from the front door, or simply unwind in the walled gardens. Your host can even help arrange a hot tub and catering services, so you can really relax.

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....
