Great place to stay if you are exploring area around. Everything you needed was there, including kitchen facilities. There were amazing landscaped just behind the barn so it was great to have a morning coffee outside. Area is very quiet too. It was safe for a female solo traveller! Owner of the place was very sweet and helpful too.

Wanted to walk around Thirlmere, but there's not much of a path for a mile or so along the road. There is a public footpath along the stone wall on the fell, but it's very rough. The footpath along the northern Eastern side of Thirlmere is quite overgrown, but mostly gravel so not too slippery. The little used tarmac road around the West side of Thirlmere is super quiet and would make a brilliant route for cycling. The infinity pool high on the Eastern side requires a very steep ascent and descent. It is also awash with teenagers since a tiktocker went viral with a review. But it's definitely worth a visit. Shame some of those teenagers can't even abide by the countryside code of 'leave no trace'!

Easy access to various walks in the area to suit all grades of walkers. This area is less busy than the more touristy locations nearby of Keswick and Grasmere. However easy access to both by car or bus. Bus frequency during the day every half hour. Used bus for Grasmere as parking most difficult to find there.

There is a good viewpoint with parking about 0.7 miles south of the Kings Head where we stayed. Over at Derwent water the 'Surprise View' is also worth a visit, but be aware access is by a twisty single track lane so unsuitable for large vehicles. There's a small car park free to National Trust members.

Great walking opportunities here, although you can never predict the lake district weather!!! Easy (ish)(the ish is because it is steep not difficult!!) access to the Helvelyn range, but also to some smaller hills, such as Raven Crag and High rigg. Nice to be able to go and see the dam too.

Amazing location and was just 1.5 miles away from car park that takes us to top of Helvellyn mountain. Nice and easy under 10 min drive to Keswick which was very conveinent. Thirlmere Dam and the hike up the hill next to it is a good one to go around as well. The breakfast at Kings Head Inn in Thirlmere was very good..
