This is a peaceful and secluded location, with no neighbouring properties on its single-track road, whilst being less than a mile from local shops at Greenodd (baker, butcher, post office / general store, pub). This traditional and quirky Lakeland self catering detached farmhouse is set in approx two acres of land and is full of individual character, with exposed beams, old slate flags and oak floors and old pine doors, open fire and a wood burning stove.

A cycling week in paradise.
As a group of middle aged to elderly mountain bikers, we were looking for somewhere located close to the hills but away from the crowds. Hill Top Farm provided this and so much more. We ate every meal "al fresco", patronised a number of local eateries and loved the games room where table tennis matches were hard fought.We had a room each and were very happy with our choice. Thanks Martin
