The imposing steep slopes of The Screes are clearly visible as a backdrop to the open lush green slopes of this stunning valley. This beautifully appointed ground floor apartment is every much a haven as the name suggests and is comfortably furnished to a very good standard.

If it’s good food you are looking for, then the nearby village of Gosforth has some excellent places to eat, or a little bit closer, Nether Wasdale has two pubs to choose from and its own micro-brewery to sample some award-winning real ales.
