A great base to explore the Lakes. An idyllic location in Watermillock a mile above Ullswater, High House Farm sits in 10 aches of open fields and surrounded by breath-taking views of the fells.

Take advantage of walks from the doorsteps to Aira Force waterfalls part of the Ullswater Way, Little Mell Fell and Gowbarrow fell- 2 of the 214 Wainwrights. Uncover the impressive views of Helvellyn, the 3rd highest peak in England - 7 miles away and the surrounding fells. If opting for hiking or biking adventure the choices are endless. A mile away a pub beckons serving local ales. Venture 3 miles to the bustling village of Pooley Bridge, here you find riverside coffee shops, pubs, a restaurant, independent stores, a bookshop and an off license, P.O and Tourist Information. From here you can take in the magnificent scenery from the water when onboard one of Ullswater steamers to Howtown where there is a tea room or further to the lively village of Glenridding which has a sailing centre. For a more leisurely day indulge in a spa day at the local Hotel less than a mile away.

The Hoggest, a beautiful little gem tucked away ensuring a perfect retreat for relaxation. Step into a cosy open plan living area with sofa and footstool, TV with Sky channels. The kitchen has all the amenities you will need for your stay. The adjacent bedroom has a super-king bed, DAB radio, an ensuite bathroom with shower over bath. The views of Little Mell Fell and Priest Crag from the outdoor area make the perfect scene for your morning brew or to unwind in the evening.

No longer a working farm, 5 of the traditional stone buildings have been lovingly converted into stylish self catering cottages with character and exposed beams providing the perfect spot to savour the surroundings. Designed for comfort and ease of use the cottages offer a one level living experience. The cottages sit privately from each otter and all have an enclosed outdoor seating area with furniture and fire bowl. There is ample parking and storage for kayaks and bikes. Less than a 20 minute drive from the M6 makes High House Farm accessible for short breaks or full week holidays.

The cottage is great for those seeking peace and quiet in beautiful surroundings. The owner is friendly and welcoming without being in any way intrusive (but always on hand if any problem arises). It is a superb place to go to.

Absolute perfection. The cottage was beautiful, superbly equipped and in a stunning location. We arrived to a spotless, cosy home-from-home. Everything in the cottage is high quality including comfortable bed and luxury linen. There wasnt a thing that we needed that wasnt there. Lesley and her team have thought of everything. Loved our stay!

The cottage was clean and modern with rustic touches. We were greeted with fresh milk, eggs and some treats too. The farm where the cottage was situated was peaceful and friendly. Everything was up to standard.
