We have three holiday cottages including our VisitEngland 4 star Gold Award barn conversion, and our VisitEngland 4 star Gold Award Log Cabin and Cosy Glamping Cabin. All have stunning views of the Lakeland fells. Thornthwaite is ideally situated for those wishing to go walking, cycling or just relaxing, with many walks and cycle routes from your cottage door, including the Lakes & Dales Loop and the Bay Cycle Way, and for those who enjoy fishing we also have our own trout fishing lake. The farm has a unique diversity of Lakeland landscape, including lowland flower meadows, ancient woodlands, rocky outcrops, streams and rivers and a Site of Special Scientific Interest, all of which our guests can explore. There is a diverse range of wildlife and fauna including rare orchids and mosses. Guests regularly enjoy going badger watching at dusk, watching the fox cubs playing or catching a glimpse of the barn owls out hunting. Thornthwaite Farm is located within easy reach of all the main Lake District attractions, however if you need to get away from it all and relax in a friendly atmosphere, our farm and holiday cottages in the Lake District are perfect.
