WE stayed in these about 3-4 years ago it maybe a bit too far its Seathwaite near Conniston Lake, a bit over 2 hours if i remember.
beatiful place, the cottages are opposite a working farm and have stream running at the back. nothing around within walking distance (apart from the stunnning scenery of course) but the nearby Newfield inn served top notch food (No TV though !!).
the nearby harknott pass is a must, makes the snake pass look like the A49
and the real tourist areas of Windermere are only 40 minutes away.
and Lakeside is even closer with its steam railway and other attractions.'"
Yes Hardnott Roman Fort is a must to see but make sure your'e not going up the pass in an old banger or you will be in trouble.Might even need a new set of brake pads it's that steep.
