Situated within the hamlet of the historical Moresby Hall, this development used to serve as the farm and buildings and have been converted to a small group of well-designed holiday cottages. They provide the perfect base from which to make the most of this beautiful part of West Cumbria.

The town also has an indoor swimming pool, gym, sports centre and golf course if you’re felling energetic.
