Force Mill lies between Coniston Water and Windermere on the southern edge of the Grizedale Forest, a mile from the village of Satterthwaite, al in the heart of the Lake District National Park.

Force Mill Barn is one of a group of buildings which sit by the Grizedale Beck. As the name would imply, it is here that a gentle beck turns into a powerful force, with a cascading waterfall, where in the past this energy would have been harnessed to drive the mill.

The Forest is a vast working woodland owned by the Forestry Commission. There are many trails and paths to explore by foot or mountain bike, along which you will discover wonderful sculptures and natural installations by many well known artists. A few miles up the road from Force Mill is the Grizedale visitor center, with its shop and art gallery and where you can seek information, trail maps and bike hire.

For something a bit different you can 'Go Ape' at the visitor centre. An adrenaline filled few hours, where you navigate a network of walkways, wires, nets and zip wires high above the forest floor.

After your days adventures, you can retire to the Eagle Inn at Satterthwaite for a pint of good local brewed ale and a pub lunch.

Though a quite, away from it all location, you are only a few miles from Hawkshead, with its shops and pubs. Also within easy striking distance is Coniston Water where you can hire boats or take a steam trip up the lake.

Force Mill Barn

One of two conversions created from a huge bank built barn, Force Mill Barn shares its location with the original mill house and a further private cottage.

You enter into a small hallway, off which is the double bedroom, with a huge king sized bed. Adjacent is the bathroom with bath, basin and WC and, down a flight of stairs, you have a further shower room.

Back to the hall and up the stairs to the open plan living space with a high pitched ceiling.

Designed by the owners for easy living you have a kitchen to one end where you can rustle up your favorite Jamie dish; a central dining table to load with good food, eat and talk and, finally, the sitting area with big plump sofas to curl up on, relax, read a book or watch the ultra mod flat screen TV.

I really like this barn, the layout contemporary, the spaces working well, conducive for an easy relaxed holiday, all of which I am sure will please those that stay.
