This splendid barn conversion boasts a wonderful sitting room that makes a great area for everyone to get together in. The gardens are fabulous and include a secret garden in among the rhododendrons. There are also two neighbouring houses allowing several families to stay on the same site in separate houses if required.
Lamplugh is the perfect starting place to explore the fells, rivers, lakes and tarns of this beautiful part of the Lake District. There are a variety of walks right from the front door, or Loweswater Lake is just 3 miles away, with Buttermere and Crummock just a mile or two beyond. In the opposite direction is Ennerdale Lake with its forest walks and mountain biking.

The Kirkstile Inn at Loweswater is renowned throughout the Lakes for the quality of its food and ales. This 400-year-old pub has excellent food, open fires and its own brewery, and has been awarded the CAMRA Pub of the Year for West Cumbria and Western Lake District.
