Conveniently located just 15 minutes drive from junction 40 of the M6 motorway, halfway between Penrith and Keswick, is the peaceful luxury resort of Whitbarrow Village. Its picturesque location in the foothills of Blencathra Fell (popularly known as ‘Saddleback’), has helped make this family-run resort one of the Lake District’s most popular resorts. As soon as you arrive, you’ll notice the warm, friendly atmosphere; yet the high standards of accommodation, facilities and service ensure you and your family have everything you need to make the most of your holiday. The legendary unspoilt grandeur of the Lake District has proved an inspiration to generations of poets, artists and writers alike, since the area’s most famous son, William Wordsworth, declared it ‘the loveliest spot that man hath ever found.’
