We loved our visit to Herdwick House.

We loved our visit to Herdwick House. The massive field at the front of the property was ideal for our kids to chuck a ball and run around. Kept the adults busy too. Everyone was exhausted every night and slept well. Kids loved the bunk room. Plenty of space. Thank you
