LINSKELDFIELD TARN & HOLIDAY COTTAGES


                           A Bird-watchers Holiday Paradise 

We offer 2 self-contained, Holiday Cottages which have been newly created within a recently converted Barn.
They have both been furbished to a very high standard, taking into consideration the needs of
you the Holiday-maker. 
Both Cottages have outstanding views, through every window, of the surrounding Hills and Countryside. 
You haven't lived until you have experienced one of our spectacular Lakeland sunsets over Skiddaw! 


The Barn conversion was originally used to house large Clydesdale Horses that worked on the Farm, in times before Tractors became our "Work-horses"!
We are based on a family-run "Working Farm" within the Lake-District National Park, set in beautiful surroundings, with superb views of Skiddaw and Binsey Fell. 
The Farm and Cottages are located up a Private Lane, off a quiet Country road and are
set in their own 200 acres of Land.  This is a very quiet, peaceful rural area but only a few miles away from the local Towns of Keswick & Cockermouth.
Both  of which have a good selection of Shops for food and other commodities.
It's only a short distance from the Cottages, for those of you who like to walk, climb and explore, to get onto the Fells, Mountains, Lakes and open Countryside;  where you can truly escape from the stresses and strains of everyday hustle and bustle. 
Especially ideal for those of you who have high-pressured city jobs and even those of you who don't!!

The "Osprey's Nest" Cottage can sleep 1 - 6 people  
the slightly smaller
"Otters Pocket" Cottage sleeps 1 - 4 people.

GET in TOUCH for details of our XMAS & NEW YEAR SPECIALS
**New Year now Fully booked-Book now for Xmas so you don't miss out!

We are only a stone's throw from the Reivers Cycle Route (<<click for details) for those of you
who would like to bring your bikes (we have secure lock-up facilities). 
Even children could cycle safely, as the country roads round here have so little traffic. 
You are more likely to find a Squirrel or Pheasant on the road than a car, although obviously there are some but the roads are pretty quiet in the main.

Linskeldfield Farm has it's own Tarn close-by.  Here you can use the 12 man purpose-built Bird Hide to watch the Wild Birds, Ducks, Geese and other Water Birds inc. our resident Swans.
  
The Osprey viewpoint at Dodd Woods is only a 10 min drive away.  Here they have high-powered telescopes trained onto the Osprey's Nest. (further details on "Tarn" Page)

So, you can see this would be the ideal retreat for you, your family and friends.  
Idyllically quiet and tranquil yet not a million miles away from Fells, Lakes, Mountains and the nearest towns plus civilisation.

Children and Dogs very Welcome  So, why wait - get in touch and tell us when you would like to visit us.
