Welcome to High Arnside Farm

If you are looking for somewhere to stay where the views are forever changing and the only sound you will hear is the occasional sheep calling, then High Arnside Farm maybe just the place for you.
Some days the clouds are so low that you are amongst them, but on a fine day the views of the mountains are spectacular and from Black Crag, (the highest point on the farm) you can see Windermere, Coniston Water, Esthwaite Water and Tarn Hows.
Both Lake District cottages offer excellent accommodation to ensure your stay is perfect. Both cottages are inspected annually from the Tourist Board.
Set in a truly rural location there are many walks from the doorstep. Mountain bikers are also well catered for with easy access onto bridleways.
Children can meet the animals and
enjoy the freedom of playing in the countryside.
There
are plenty of places for them to explore - the streams and tree swings
.
The "Fell Farm" books by Marjorie Lloyd are based on High Arnside Farm and copies of the three books are available for loan for guests to read during their stay.
The feature film "Miss Potter" also used the farm as a location. Low Arnside was used and keen visitors will easily spot the scene!
