The quiet
seclusion of the peaceful vale where Ellen Hall is situated makes this the perfect
destination for a "get away from it all" break. This unfortunately means guests
do need their own transport as the area is not served well by public transport.
There's a network of bridle paths leading straight from the door. Within a ten to fifteen
minute walk, the village has a local pub serving great food open evenings and weekend
lunchtimes, and also a bar and restaurant serving equally good food evenings only &
offers a great value take away menu (thet will deliver to your cottage door for 50p), but
we STRONGLY recomend you book at weekends as they are very popular,
(Masons Arms -016973 20765 Beeches Restaurant 016973 22555. Also in the village there is
trout bait and fly fishing along with horse riding.
For those wanting more, Cockermouth, a bustling market town and the birthplace of William
Wordsworth is only a few miles away, and the capital of the North lakes, Keswick, less
than half an hour's drive along Bassenthwaite Lake. |

The Keswick area is host to outdoor
pursuit centres, a marina, many famous restaurants and even boasts it's own "Theatre
by the Lake".
Less than three miles from Ellen Hall is the beautiful heritage coastline of Cumbria,
while Carlisle, Hadrian's Wall, and Scotland are all within easy reach.
Cottages for two with something for everyone.

The images on this page highlight just three of this area's places of interest. The top
picture is a view over Crummock Water taken from Low Fell - a walk easily reached from our
cottages.
The middle picture is of the Solway Coast - so different from the fells and lakes which
most people associate with this region, and a great area to explore.
The final picture is the busy fishing harbour of Maryport, a coastal
town with a lot to offer the visitor.
