Gowbarrow Old Hall - Self-catering house in Cumbria
Watermillock, CA11 0JP, Cumbria
England,
Royaume-Uni
Hidden up a private lane is this 18th-century gem, filled with history and with views over romantic fells and farmland. Interiors are decidedly pretty and homely – the antidote to swish Ikea-filled holiday homes, and a joy for larger groups with much space. Children can safely wander in and out, grown-ups will adore the comfy sofas and chairs by the wood-burner – plus a big TV for rainy days – and real cooks will appreciate the roomy kitchen with all its gear for big meals. You can order delicious grass-fed beef from the farm too.
Eat elegantly by candlelight in the dining room, or on the terrace in the sun. Swim in the lake, wander to Aira Force, join the Ullswater loop or tackle some climbing. Return to a handy boot room with extra shower to clean up.
View-filled bedrooms (one double en suite, one double and a bunk room sharing a family bathroom and a triple with an en suite loo and basin) are fresh and light-filled. Restful.

Anne Lloyd:
- We're situated above Ullswater – arguably England's most beautiful lake.
- The Ullswater Way – we're located on this 22-mile circular walking route around the Ullswater Valley. Broken down into four convenient sections, walk part or walk it all – whatever you choose it's not to be missed.
- We're part of a nature-friendly, working farm. Make sure to request a farm tour during your stay.
- Visit pretty Pooley Bridge on the north shore of Ullswater, a 10-minute drive. Discover riverside pubs, an independent bookshop and a gin shop stocking over 400 gins!
- Take a cruise on the iconic Ullswater 'Steamers' – from the rolling fells at the northern end to dramatic drops as you approach Glenridding in the south, it's the best way to experience the valley.
- Use Gowbarrow Old Hall as a base to discover the wider Lake District and the county of Cumbria. Strike out for the quieter Eden Valley or head into the tourist hotspots of Ambleside and Windermere and get your fill of William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter.
