Crag View is a newly completed open plan split level barn conversion, with light and airy, comfortable accommodation for up to five persons.

Chris & Roger Parker moved to Ghyll farm at the end of 2003 having been visiting the lakes on walking holidays for a number of years. They hope to provide the high quality of accommodation and facilities that they demand themselves. Crag View is available from March 2004.

Ghyll Farm ceased to be a working farm in the middle of the last century and now consists of only our home Ghyll Farm, Ghyll Cottage (a private residence) and Crag View, so if you need lots of neighbours this isn't the place for you.

Ghyll Farm takes its name from the small stream that runs through the property and alongside the track. Red Squirrels are seen regularly feeding in the garden. Buzzards, Tawny owls, Goldfinches, Goldcrests and Greater Spotted Woodpeckers are frequent visitors. In the summer you can watch England's only breeding pair of Ospreys on nearby Bassenthwaite.

We are at the end of a private single-track road with no through traffic, surrounded by fields and grazing sheep from the neighbouring working farms. There are footpaths from the track and you can walk from your door into the fells. Ennerdale Lake is only a mile away and the small village of Ennerdale Bridge is two miles.

Pets are welcome (at a small extra charge) but must be kept strictly under control as we have livestock and wildlife roaming freely on and around the farm.

There are no street lights and no light pollution which, on a clear night, provides an unrivalled night sky. However you may find a torch a useful addition. Torches are available upon request
