Highpark, Cockermouth And The North West Fells

Highpark1 bedroom, Sleeps 2.

Views across Crummock Water to the Grasmoor fells are the real draw here, along with the quiet position at the end of a leafy lane in the Buttermere Valley. Highpark is a Grade II listed barn on an 18th-century fell farm, sharing a courtyard with the farmhouse but with its own secluded garden and patio. For couples who want a proper walking base rather than a busy village stay, it’s especially appealing: there are routes straight from the door, from easy lakeside rambles to tougher fell days.

The living space is upstairs, where beams, an oak floor and a wood burner give the open-plan room plenty of character, while the bedroom and bathroom are on the ground floor. It sleeps 2 in 1 bedroom, with 1 bathroom featuring a shower over the bath, and there’s useful practical space in the entrance hall too. Wildlife is part of the appeal in this corner of the lakes, with red squirrels and birds to watch, and a pub lies within a mile.

In the Buttermere Valley, peacefully located at the end of a leafy country lane, this charming Grade II listed barn, part of an 18th-century fell farm, has an idyllic setting with stunning views across Crummock Water to the Grasmoor range of fells. The property shares a courtyard with the adjoining farmhouse and has a secluded garden with patio. Situated only ½ mile from Loweswater village, there are many beautiful walks direct from Highpark, from a gentle lake stroll to the more challenging Melbreak Fell. Wildlife is abundant with falcons, nightingales and red squirrels. Shop 4 miles, pub ½ mile (featured in ’Good Pub Guide’).
