  • Gentle re-opening

    Gentle re-opening

    12 July 2021 / Fells, Tarn House

    After a period of being closed, we have now very gently re-opened our doors. In the old days we took most of our bookings via third parties, but for now we’re open for direct bookings only. So if you love […]

    Bye for now

    1 February 2021 / Tarn House

    ’21 was a year like no other for hospitality. Like others, we did our best to navigate our way through it. Managing surges in bookings – then cancellations – was tough; and the extra demands – in terms of both […]

    10 first-time mountains for children in the Lake District

    21 August 2017 / Autumn, Children, Fells, Roundabout, Spring, Summer, Things to do, Walks, Winter

    Picking a child’s first Lakes fell can be a tricky proposition. On the one hand, you want them to stretch their abilities and have a fun day out. But too much ambition risks turning a potentially memorable mountain outing into a […]

     
  • What’s new at Tarn House

    What’s new at Tarn House

    10 May 2017 / Autumn, Garden, Spring, Summer, Tarn House, Winter

    Since I bought Tarn House two-and-a-bit years back, I’ve invested every penny earned back into the house and garden. Some of that investment has been boring but important behind the scenes stuff (new oil tank, new water filters, chimney repairs […]

Testimonials

The Thompson family

“An amazingly located, spacious house with fantastic equipment. We felt at home the moment we arrived and have made beautiful memories to take with us. Breakfast on the patio in the garden with views of the mountains will be remembered. The children loved playing hide and seek and the house was filled with laughter. We’ll be back.”

Mr & Mrs S, Cambs

“Fantastic house – wish I could take it home! Wonderful garden.”
