Escape to the Lake District Mountains, a unique, tranquil getaway at the foot of Helvellyn, 2km above Ullswater, up towards Striding Edge. Mountains tower above the hut, watching over our guests these Birkhouse Moor and Sheffield Pike with views of the Angle Tarn Pikes & High Street. ,Situated on the side of the Glenridding Beck, which is perfect for morning dip. The beck can be heard both outside and in, & relaxing and therapeutic for mind, body and soul.

Open access land allows access to the Glenridding Beck for your dip. PLEASE NOTE the shower is an outdoor shower. use only our natural products.
I am Mountain Leader and navigation coach, so can help you with your Hiking Highs web page for our guiding company. I meet wonderful people staying in my hut from all over the world, and my 'Room With A View' also.
The area is very remote, although there are 2 lovely supermarket shops in the village, 1.5km down our track, in Glenridding. The village sits on the shores of Ullswater, so beautiful Steamer trips available up and down the lake. Lots to explore if you like a quiet place. 2 cafes, and 4 bars which all serve great food in the village.
