The neighbouring village of Caldbeck, just a mile down the road, has a pub with restaurant facilities and Priest’s Mill offers really good vegetarian food. The villages of Uldale, Mungrisedale and Welton also have good eating places within easy reach of the cottage.
A variety of routes from the cottage make most parts of the Lake District readily accessible, with Keswick only twenty minutes away.
The Solway Firth can be seen from the hills above the village with the mountains of Dumfries beyond, and to the east lies the beautiful Eden valley and the Pennines.
