Caldbeck accommodation

Comfortable Bed and Breakfast accommodation set amid fine walking surroundings. (1 double, 1 single, 1 twin)

Welcome to our award winning self-contained rural accommodation sleeping 2-12 people some 15 minutes drive from the peaceful village of Caldbeck on the northern fringes of the English Lake District. These fine comfortable converted cottages provide the highest standards of facilities and are ideally placed to explore the Northern Fells, the historic Scottish Borders, Hadrians Wall, the Solway Coast and the Central and Southern Lake District.

Near Howe occupies a stunning elevated position on a tree lined knoll, giving it glorious views out over arguably some of the most delightful countryside in the Lake District National Park. Originally built as a farmstead about 180 years ago, Near Howe remained the farmhouse to the surrounding farm land until the end of the 1960s when it was converted to a guest house.
Over the years, the former farm buildings which surrounded the delightful open courtyard, have been skilfully converted to form five spacious and uniquely appointed self catering holiday cottages, which retain much of their original charm and character. Set amid carefully landscaped, yet easily maintained gardens and grounds, there is ample car parking and space for visitors to relax in a setting second to none for its peace and tranquillity.
Near Howe lies at the end of a delightful driveway across rolling Cumbrian farm land, but is within very easy reach of the A66, midway between the lovely Cumbrian market town of Penrith and Keswick-on-Derwentwater - The Queen of The Lakes. Equally close at hand is Ullswater, with Pooley Bridge at the North and Glenridding to the South.
In the opposite direction lies the picturesque village of Mungrisdale and further at 'Back o'Skidda' is Caldbeck, the former home of famous huntsman John Peel. All of this delightful countryside helps bring tourists to the area over an ever increasing season.

Welcome to Monkhouse Hill Cottages in Cumbria's Lake District - luxury self catering for couples, families and larger groups. There are nine four and five star holiday cottages created from a 350 year old Cumbrian hill farm. Its a superb base for exploring the Lakes by foot, bike or car, sampling great Cumbrian fayre locally or in your cottage, or pampering yourself at the Lakes' most exclusive leisure Spa.
A holiday for two at Monkhouse Hill's lake district cottages is all about taking time out. Superbly presented cottages with those special features you'd love to have at home - spa baths or saunas, roaring fires or cosy log burners, and four poster beds.
The family cottages at Monkhouse Hill have been designed with space, flexibility and safety in mind. Spacious upstairs living areas, with well equipped kitchens, make the the most of panoramic views and vaulted roofs.
Monkhouse Hill was recognised by an Excellence in England Award for pioneering the concept of large lake district cottages for groups of families to holiday together. We offer large cottages sleeping up to 14, or combinations of adjacent cottages which provide more freedom but which are configured for everyone to be able to eat together.
Enjoy free membership of the exclusive North Lakes Spa during your stay.

Brownrigg Hall Farm is a small, old fashioned working fell farm lying approximately 800 feet above sea level & within the Lake District National Park. Old English ‘Longhorn’ Cattle & ‘Lleyn’ sheep are kept on the farm.
Four comfortable warm well-equipped caravans are available with views overlooking the quiet and peaceful Caldbeck village and the fells of High Pike and Carrock.
This is a designated environmentally sensitive area from where the beauty of the northern fells can be admired and explored either on foot or via the several scenic cycle trails. The history steeped Border Country, Hadrians Wall and the wild bird life of the Solway Coast are within easy reach together with the Central and Southern Lakes.
Please be advised this is a non-smoking establishment, and pets are not permitted on what is a working farm.
You are assured of a warm welcome and we look forward to seeing you.

Preliminary, the site is a Caravan Club CL. Our one acre lawned site is just out of the Hamlet of Millhouse, adjacent to a quiet unclassified road, being secluded and well away from noise of main roads. The Dominating River Caldew and its tributary beck (Gillcambon), are completely open and accessible to the site, and form over half of the perimeter. Although the CL is only a 5 van site, we have 10 well spaced pitches in total, all with electric hook-ups, providing our clients the choice of hard standing (5) or well drained grass (5) which allows plenty of rotation, with very little pitch-wear. Mains water, waste and chemical disposal, W.C. and FREE shower are all laid on, to a high standard. Discreet dusk to dawn lighting is provided over the site, and we have a dedicated (flood lit) river edge dog walk.
The Millrace Park
Due to ever increasing popularity of the CL, we obtained planning permission in 2003 to provide extra pitches. Unwilling to alter the CL in any way which may endanger its character, we have developed our adjoining land in almost mirror image of the existing, with 6 pitches, (4 hard standing and 2 grass) all with electric hook-ups, with separate W.C. and FREE shower, plus all of the above mentioned amenities. Again, we have opened up the stretch of river bordering this land to provide complete access to site users. The Mill Dam, (feeding the Saw Mill), use to be in this stretch of the river, and the Millrace flowed through the lower edge of this land, hence our naming.
