When you stay you get access to our special estate, from private lakeshore for you to swim and paddle from to magical walks through our private riverside woodland. Since 1959, every penny of profit has gone directly to charity & conservation, so when you stay with us, you're on a "holiday that helps". Whether through our work with habitats and environmental projects here at the foot of Helvellyn and head of Ullswater, or through our community projects throughout the country... You can enjoy the fells knowing that you're protecting them, and sleep well knowing you've helped someone else do the same.
