Todd and Gunn cottages are two of the five holiday cottages at Hallflat Farm. Todd and Gunn are both one bedroomed cottages sleeping three and two respectively.
The cottages form part of a range of farm buildings dating back to the 18th century. Located in spectacular Wasdale within the Lake District National Park, the holiday cottages provide an ideal base from which to explore the remote and uncommercialised western fells and lakes.
Positioned on a former working farm, the cottages sit in seven acres of woodland and meadows which are bordered by the River Irt with rocky pools and cascades.
An easy walk from the cottages gives access to the open fell which leads to the Wastwater Screes and beyond to the Scafell range. The area also offers plenty of low level walks through open countryside and woodland, alongside lakes and rivers - with delightful country pubs along the way (the closest pub is The Bridge Inn, just 350 yards from the cottages which serves food and welcomes children and dogs).
The area offers plenty of other outdoor activities to enjoy including: fishing, horse riding, golf, sailing, mountain biking and swimming - all available in the vicinity. The area’s other attractions include the ancient Roman fort on Hardknot Pass; Muncaster Castle and owl centre; the minature steam railway which runs up the lovely valley of Eskdale and Wordsworth’s birth place in Cockermouth. The more well known centres of Windermere, Keswick and Ambleside are also within reach, but far enough away for the western lakes to retain their own unspoilt and individual character.

"Our stay in Gunn cottage was a lovely experience. We were greeted by Madeleine and given a very warm welcome. The cottage was well equipped and most comfortable. We appreciated the heating in the evening when it was chilly outdoors. From our window it was fascinating just to watch the antics of the birds at their feeding station. At one time there were three woodpeckers competing for bird nuts. The garden area is the perfect spot to sit and relax with a drink and a stroll through the orchard a must.
