Ivy Bank is a Victorian house built in the l890's from local slate and provides comfortable accommodation in a family home. Many of its original features have been retained, such as the elegant pitch pine staircase, exposed beams and ornate cornices. It is situated away from main thoroughfares yet is within a few minutes walk of the railway station and village centre, restaurants, shops and pubs.

A number of picturesque walks can be followed from Ivy Bank, including the spectacular view from Orrest Head - considered to be one of the most perfect viewpoints that the Lake District can offer. Other walks will take you to School Knott, Brant Fell, Biskey Howe and Millerground Falls, all approximately 30 minutes from our door. For a more leisurely view of the surrounding fells wander down to the Lake and take a cruise on one of the traditional lake steamers. Alternatively, should you wish, we can arrange for the local mini-coach operators to collect you at the door for one of their half or full day tours.
