Escape to the heart of the Lake District, but leave the crowds behind. Rookhow is a secluded haven of tranquility, with 12 acres of private ancient woodland nestled between Coniston and Lake Windermere. 

Stay in our cosy self-catering barn with its log fires and snug sitting room and make use of our campfire and outdoor seating area. 

With accommodation for active families and groups, Rookhow is the perfect destination for your short adventure break or relaxing holiday in the Lake District.
