Inside, you’ll find five well-appointed bedrooms, two with their own en-suites, as well as two family bathrooms and two additional WCs—ideal for larger groups. The brand new kitchen is fully equipped for cooking up hearty group meals, and the dining room seats ten, so there’s plenty of room to gather and share stories after a day out on the fells.
