One of Ullswater's best kept affordable secrets 

Barton Hall

(6 miles)

Beautiful Queen Anne residence at Ullswater offering 4 poster beds and roll top baths at sensible prices.

We love this place - it's quirky and hardly anyone knows about it!   You won't find it on the 'Go Lakes' Cumbria Tourism websites because it's

refreshingly old fashioned and likes to be different.  Well worth a look!

A unique Queene Anne bed and breakfast property with amazingly

affordable accommodation, a self catering kitchen for families to use,

roll top baths and four poster beds . It's a step back in time and worth a visit and amazingly good value-

massive bedrooms that can take whole families

Set in 3.5 acres of ground, this eight bedroom Queen Anne home, built in 1710, is located in the

Lake District National Park just a few hundred yards from the Lakeside
