Company info

We took over this building in 2014 and spent 2 years on a massive renovation project into a Bistro and B&B. The Bistro and B&B were owned by different members of the same family and in late 2021 the owner of the successful Bistro decided to leave the hospitality industry. This opportunity allowed the change of direction to convert the business to a Holiday Let, offering this beautiful building for the private use for families and groups to holiday together.

Property info

Herdwicks is a detached Grade II listed building built in 1873, which has been sympathetically restored and renovated to offer a beautiful holiday home in an area of outstanding natural beauty. It is a landmark building with views overlooking the Cumbrian coast and the Lake District mountain range. Herdwicks offers 4 very large bedrooms all with beautiful views of the surrounding area and a newly fitted kitchen with all the best amenities.

There is a dining area and bar where guests can prepare and serve their own drinks.

Guests have use of the picnic tables and benches provided, the sunsets are often stunning from this aspect.
