After a day of adventures, gather in the spacious kitchen - the heart of this home where memories are made (and wine is consumed).
The accommodation spreads across three floors with impressive variety: a ground-floor king-size with en-suite and open fire, five additional doubles (one with sofa bed) and two twin rooms. Five bathrooms ensure morning queues don't become a contact sport. The well-equipped kitchen features both a range cooker and AGA for culinary enthusiasts.
Explore Whitehaven (5 miles, 12 mins), visit the Lake District National Park (30 mins), take the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway (14 miles, 25 mins), or hike along the starting point of the Coast to Coast Walk. The hot tub awaits your return - nothing beats bubbles under the stars after a day of Lake District adventures.
Abbey Farm House delivers exactly what large groups need - space to be together and space to escape each other. With its hot tub, games room and proximity to both beach and mountains, it's the ultimate base for creating those "remember when we..." holiday moments.
