Maps & Walk Plans
Maps and walk plans are loaned with pleasure
from our library. We just ask for a donation towards the Tourism
Conversation Partnership which helps to restore the Lakeland's
footpaths.
Short Breaks
Our cottages tend to be nearly as popular
in winter as they are in summer this means that while we are happy to
do short breaks for people they tend to be in short supply. Do give us
a ring and see what we can do.
Telephone
Please note that at present there is no
reliable reception for mobile phones in all parts of the Lake
District. However our new reception telephone mast does allow
Orange and Vodaphone to operate well here. There is also payphone in
the Hostel foyer which all guests are welcome to use
Outdoor Gear/Shopping
Don’t buy your outdoor gear before you
come here as the Lake District has the best selection of shops you will
find anywhere in Britain.
Babies and small children
A loan of a baby back pack is
available. We just ask for a donation to the Tourism & Partnership Conservation charity Tourism
Conversation Partnership which helps to restore the Lakeland's
footpaths, visitor access and wildlife habitats. We can also provide a travel cot and highchair at no
extra charge. Please bring your baby's bedding. Please also let us know your requirements when
booking.
