The Larches provided us with everything and more for a tranquil walking holiday Easter break. We enjoyed the idyllic surroundings and views, multi level garden teaming with wildlife. Beautiful characterful cottage, extremely informative library for local walks fully kitted with lovely clean comfortable beds, culinary equipment and crockery needs.

A lovely location for a break in the Lake District.
A lovely location for a break in the Lake District. Great walks nearby and close to Buttermere, Crummock water and Lowes water. The belvedere in the garden provides a great viewing point.
