We are Julie and Gary, and we are passionate about sharing our love of the Lake District and creating memorable stays for our guests. Hosting has become much more than just offering a place to stay — for us, it’s about helping people slow down, reconnect with nature, and enjoy everything this beautiful part of Cumbria has to offer. We take great pride in making sure our guests feel welcome, comfortable, and well looked after from the moment they book until the end of their stay. We enjoy paying attention to the small details that make a visit feel special, whether that’s providing clear information, ensuring the cottage feels warm and inviting, or being on hand to offer local recommendations for walks, places to eat, and things to see. As lovers of the outdoors ourselves, we understand how important it is to have a cosy, relaxing base to return to after a day of exploring. We get real satisfaction from knowing that our guests leave with happy memories, feeling refreshed and inspired by their time in the Lake District.
