The Garth is an extremely comfortable
country house in one of the prettiest,
unspoiled villages in the South Lakes.
We overlook Esthwaite Water and the
mountains and have a superb large garden,
croquet lawn and stunning views.
Peace and quiet, proximity to all the best
of the Lakes, touches of luxury, all these
make your stay one to remember.
