Set in the peaceful foothills of Blencathra Fell (known as "Saddleback"), Whitbarrow Village is one of the Lake District's most popular and picturesque resorts with the local people and surroundings giving you a very warm welcome. The luxurious accommodation, facilities and staff make for a perfect family holiday.

In 1986 the original owners retained the unique character of what was originally an 18th Century Cumbrian farm known as Whitbarrow Hall.

Since then the resort has grown to 129 apartments as more of the original farm buildings have been carefully restored and converted.

The cobbled street that runs between the converted stone farm buildings is overlooked by the clock tower, with paths leading off through charming archways to flower-decked courtyards each with its own unique lawned area.

The Area

The Lake District has been a favourite for families for years and remains one of the U.K.’s most popular holiday destinations.
One of the most stunning national parks in the U.K., the Lake District is made up of a series of over 80 glacial lakes, mountain tarns and several reservoirs.

Most of the lake names end in either water or mere. The latter refers to a lake that is broad in relation to its depth. A tarn is used to refer to any small lake although it originally meant a form of glacial mountain lake.

Whitbarrow Village is ideally located in the stunning Lake District midway between Penrith and Keswick, the resort offers the ideal base from which to explore the wonders of this superb area.

Within 45 minutes of Whitbarrow you can enjoy anything from water-skiing and sailing at Windermere to quad biking and horse riding at Rookin House Farm.
