A lovely tranquil holiday village set around a large lake. All the homes in the village are lodges which are nicely situated to afford as much privacy as possible. The village hosts its own bar and restaurant The Waters Edge which serve Coffees, Lunch and Dinner. We have found booking essential. There is also a Pool and Gym area ( charges apply) and a spa on site offering a range of relaxing treatments. Perfectly situated for both The Lake District and Yorkshire Dales
