Traditionally
built in the late Victorian age, this country house enjoys stunning
views of the forest and surrounding
fells including the 3046 feet Skiddaw. The sunny aspect gives
a warm and comfortable atmosphere in which to relax and feel
at
home.
We are situated almost half-way between the towns of Keswick and Cockermouth,
birthplace of William Wordsworth and the oldest town in Cumbria, just off the
A66 at the northern tip of Bassenthwaite Lake.
Link House is easy to find. In the quieter part of the Lake District National Park, yet with access to many interesting places to visit such as the Whinlatter Visitor Centre where the Ospreys who nest nearby each year, can be viewed.”
A peaceful location for
the serious walker or for touring by car: everyone claims that — but
here it’s true!
Keith & Wendy Atkinson moved to Link House in March 2003
having spent many years farming in the Eden Valley. Both
born & bred
in Cumbria, they are happy to share their knowledge of
local traditions and give insight into the rural ways of
our beautiful
countryside.
