If you want to feel away from it all visit Ennerdale or Wastwater.These are good places for the serious hiker.

Travelled from Keswick to Borrowdale to grasmere. Excellent views, weather a bit mixed but good time was had by all.

There is a bus which goes from outside the hotel to Buttermere on which you can use your travel pass if you have one after 9.30a.m.

Our final Wainwright for the Central Fells and even though it was cloudy, the views were spectacular. Luckily it had been dry so we didn't have the "soft going" that is familiar in this area.

Wonderful walks with spectacular views where you can still get away from the crowds if you are prepared to walk off the beaten track away from mainstream tourist routes

Lots of choices of walks for all levels of ability. Not at all crowded when you get out of the towns and in general the paths are well marked.

No one in the world could say a bad word about the central fells. Beautiful, fantastic walking - best place in the world!

Friendly,clean hotel,every bedrom differnt features, with lovely ambience and great tasting food.
