Sunny Glenridding as seen from our Patterdale shore ❤️

Any time I need to pause and reflect, this is where I come.

🎶 The sounds of the water and wildlife while watching Ullswater Steamers elegantly sail up the lake always resets things.

One of my favourite parts of our estate ❤️

Overlooking Glenridding, Lanty's Field is the expanse of bluebells and bracken that you see when first entering Glenridding on the road along Ullswater.

I remember doing the Lantys Tarn walk years before I'd even heard of the Patterdale Estate - it's often one of the first fell walks that our youngest visitors experience and it becomes the regular route for our repeat visitors. (Even better when using our private woodland to either start or end the route)

When you stay with us you're choosing to contribute to the care and future for this amazing place. 🌿

Crock Boys Bothy ❤️

Our Bothies are great for two! With compact living and a bed in the eaves they are the perfect hideaway.

Sat in our Victorian walled garden, the Bothies are popular with everyone from walkers to bird watchers.

I think one of the real charms is that it's impossible to see anything modern outside the window. Uniquely our Bothies can't see cars, roads or even other buildings.

They're a peaceful haven for you to detach, detox and daydream.

Crock Boys is my favourite because BEAMS!
