We had a 2 night stay recently at Troutbeck during our recent heatwave. Fear not from earlier reviews the midges weren’t that bad just a few nibbles and the noise for us non-existent, just a lovely peaceful stay. Just bear in mind there are no nearby shops to walk or cycle to that easily so stock up before you come or be prepared to take your camper out for a trip. Ullswater is not too far away but quite a long walk that’s not that well defined so worth checking before you leave. In our case ideal stop over should you be going north as not too far to Scottish border. Enjoy.
