Swarthbeck house is ideal for a larger party with 7 bedrooms. It is in a lovely location close to Howtown and has private access to Ullswater just a short walk away (ideal for paddleboarding or launching kayaks). The views are stunning just a few yards from the property and look down Ullswater towards the Glenridding end of the lake. Some upstairs rooms have nice views too. There is a babbling brook outside. The decor and furniture are very nice and there are quality appliances. There is a separate games room. The location is ideal for walking - for example, to Hallin Fell, Martindale, the Ullswater Way etc. We really enjoyed our stay here and fully recommend Swarthbeck House.
